I see liberals are attacking Colbert for bigotry when all he is trying to do is is make fun of all the awful, horrible no good conservatives in the country by acting like one.

Do liberals just not get satire? It seems pretty obvious to me what Colbert is doing.

Of course we know that. He's a liberal. I don't care what state he's from. Why would that matter?

I have met conservatives though, who actually believed his character. I don't think there is any confusion any more, though.

You don't read the news then. Some liberals are attacking him, for bigotry. lol I guess maybe it is fantasy fullfillment , they know they can't get Rush thrown off radio but maybe they can get Colbert, woh plays a pretend conservative, thrown off Comedy Central. lol

I threw in the SC part to justify me posting that on the SC forum. This is similar to what CD does on here. He has a bunch of political threads that really aren't SC related on here but he finds some SC angle to justify it being on here. I'm just satiring this CD guy who appears to own this website at times.

Stop stalking me. I'm going talk about what I want to talk about on here, where I want to talk about.

I'm actually making fun of CD on here with my post, who , again, I note that you have never lectured about talking about politics on here. That might be b/c you are leftwing. You can admit you are an Obama fan boy.

This thread is about Steve Colbert. Not you.

Here is the link for liberals attacking Colbert as a horrible no good evil raaaaaaaaacist: #CancelColbert: Stephen Colbert accused of racism over Asian tweet


I'm not sure, as a conservative, if I should defend Colbert as I'm inclined to do. Really, it is funny to see him get the liberal race card playing mob treatment, plus maybe I can look less raaaaaaaaaaaacist in the Democrat's eyes by throwing Colbert under the bus with them.

LOL


But is is interesting to note that Colbert can technically say all sorts of inappropriate racist things, for laughs, as long as he does it under the guise of a liberal in character as a conservative. So maybe the liberal lynch mob has a point? Who knows.

Oh, the irony.

Never cared for any of those stupid, quasi-political/comedy news shows. Jon Stewart, too. I think its ridiculous some of my friends in college and after continue to watch that crap for their news.

They should do general comedy on Comedy Central. I'd watch the channel if it was for everybody.
