But if you'd like I can provide you an example of what was The Daily Show's take on the whole Tea Party/N-Word thing (hint: it wasn't the Tea Party being mocked!)
But I understand the principle... Since Jon Stewart is a leftist (which he is), he is guilty of all the sins of all the leftists ever... ok, "sins of the fathers", I guess...

If not then this post does not seem to make much sense... LITERAL calls for violence against Beck (and all forms of ill-wishing) are almost hard NOT to find (just google "glenn beck death") so these examples seem bizarre, to say the least...

Look, Stewart is a liberal, holds liberal views, roots for liberal politicians and defends liberal policies and that is pretty clear from watching him, so the notion that he is personally unbiased is risible...
However, I find the claim that The Daily Show never books conservatives as bizarre, given that in 2011 alone they had David Barton,Mike Huckabee,Rand Paul,Donald Rumsfeld,Michael Steele,Ed Gillespie,Tim Pawlenty,Rick Perry,Eric Cantor,Bill O'Reilly,Dick Armey,Fred Thompson,Arthur Brooks,Marc Thiessen and Newt Gingrich (as well as arguably right-leaning news anchors like Bret Baier and Chris Wallace).
If you go back a few more years you'll find Ron Paul, Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Bernie Goldberg, Bill Bennett, Sean Hannity, Dennis Miller and Ann Coulter, among many other more obscure right-leaning figures such as Cliff May and John O'Hara.
Now, one could argue that the lower bound for fame for a lib guest seems to be much lower than for a conservative guest. Fine, but that is altogether a different claim...
Sure, Stewart generally softballs interviews with liberal guests and adopts a relentlessly confrontational attitude when the guest is a conservative so he's not really unbiased in any way. This is a valid criticism (which I share with you also), but the claim that conservatives are somehow blacklisted from the show or that conservative viewpoints are filtered is demonstrably false. In fact, if you check the TDS website, some of the most watched interviews are with conservative guests (this is natural, as these interviews tend to be more confrontational and therefore more entertaining than the snorefests with, say, Rachel Maddow).
I don't know the full context of the exchange involving Crowder and the TDS producer, but judging by the email that was posted, the TDS seems to be alluding more to Crowder's lack of clout as a conservative figure (and non-attendance of Jon's cocktail parties as a comedian) than to some explicit or implicit policy to ignore conservative commentators...
