Gee, Colbert. Maybe our nuclear arsenal would be in better hands with a two year senator who was a former ACORN community organizer. Watcha think?!?

Colbert isn’t the one to mess with. I have yet to see anybody outwit him on his show. He skewered Laura Ingraham and Ford Jr.

Cutting edge, daring stuff.

it has been for two years now,so far no problem.

and dont forget an intelectual,lets see,crazy ass,intelectual,i think i will go for the intelectual.

I’ve watched this guy repeatedly trying to see that dazzling wit everyone is so enraptured by but I just don’t see it.

What I see in a cringe-worthy, annoying wise-ass who has somehow conned his audience into thinking he’s, you know, deep. And I really tried to like him, even in the begrudging way that I like John Stewart.

Can’t do it. He’s irrittating, like the Seinfeld crew.

Damn… you beat me too it.

And then Colbert told the audience, “You’ve been a great crowd.” Always pushing that envelope.

But not just a “community organizer” and a less than half term senator, but he speaks real good to.

He use to call his audience the “get it” audience.If you watch fox and think it is news,you will never understand this brilliant guy,watch his white house speach during the bush years,if you still dont understand his work or find it funny then well.

Did you hear about OTHER 9-year-old girl gunned down in AZ, this time by anti-immigrant Tea Partier? http://bit.ly/fNOW7x (via

I don’t think she was a tea partier, was she? But she was definitely anti-immigrant and racist and totally insane.

“Did you hear about OTHER 9-year-old girl gunned down in AZ, this time by anti-immigrant Tea Partier?”

Did you hear about the far left wwach-job that thought he was slitting the troat of a governor but cut a college dean’s throat instead?

This guy is getting letters of support in jail from the far left. I don’t see anyone on the right endorsing Loughner of the other nut.

And THAT’S the difference.

So…watching Fox News affects my sense of humor? Hmmm. Thanks. I. Did. Not. Know. That.

Sadly the woman in Arizona was a Minuteman and she is receiving very vocal support from them and the anti-immigrant crowd.

“Here’s another tip for those without a passing familiarity with how comedy works, when you write earnest condemnations of how offensive their material is, you’re basically writing their next material.”

Which is why the left is using “comedy” to spew their hate and propaganda. This way they can rationalize a different set of standards by constantly excusing the behavior a s”comedy”.

I need to get you and Michelle-in-Utah together. You could be angry, sullen and humourless together.

you see sir,comedy with colbert and john is not just that,these two guys are smart and know the subject.
they come to the table armed with facts,so if you dont know what you are talking about you will be taken down .
i am saying foxnews is not fact based,so you get the wrong information most of the time,they fact check thier material before using so if you only watch fox news you may not understand their jokes.

dont let the fact that they are a comedy show fool you

Yes, indeed it is certainly better off.

Well the right is welcome to use comedy as well. Beck and Rush try all the time. Dennis Miller is actually pretty good at it because he’s so smart.

Stephen is just waaayyyy to smart for them. It’s hilarious that he used the Mika technicality to dodge their criticism since that’s a tactic employed by political opinion spewers all the time , and then gives her a “compliment” in keeping with his pretend persona. Hilarious.

It just flies right over their heads, like geese heading South for the winter. To explain sophisticated humor like that to conservatives, you need to put it in comic book form, with lots of drawings. Not so many words, but lots of drawings.

I know, right!

I love it when Jon Stewart swears on his show! SOOOO FUNNY! I mean, he does it almost every show now, but it never gets old!

Hehehe… he said the F word. HILARIOUS!

Yup, that’s some high brow humor there.

Geeky little Coal-bare was scorned & ridiculed by the pretty, popular girls like sexy Sarah Palin in high school.. That’s one of his problems. He is not only nerdy, he is cheap; otherwise, he would spend a few bucks to get his Martian ear fixed.

I would never say Jon was highbrow humor. OK maybe sometimes he is a bit. Nonetheless, it does fly right over the head of conservatives who see it as something other than satire….sometimes even ironic satire.

Conversely, while I know Glenn Beck is mostly comedy (except when he tears up, then its hankie time), a lot of conservatives mistake Glenn’s infotainment as hard news. When people start quoting “Beck facts” I know the spin may be so great as to induce ‘merry-go-round” sickness.

Good reason to run her in 2012. America needs a PILF.

That’s funny, because when Beck is doing comedy (which, sadly, is far less often than it used to be), the left does exactly the same thing with him. Media Matters has an entire division devoted to doing just that.

Double standards aren’t particularly funny.

I thought she was a MILP. With tolerance and civility, of course.

Colbert used to do a sci fi character of himself in comic book form. Perhaps he ought to do something similar and create a conservative hero.

Yep, Jon’s humor can be pretty juvenile and he knows it , but it’s mixed in with smart and relevant observations which also wins a lot of fans.

That’s my main problem with Beck. I can take his exaggeration and dishonesty as a show, but while Jon repeatedly says he’s not news and doesn’t want people looking at the DS as serious news, Beck seems to encourage his audience to take him seriously, and obviously , some do.

Double standard?

You might note that when Glenn wishes to make a point with his audience, out comes the chalkboard, the corkboard and lotsa little pictures. He knows his audience.

That’s probably because Colbert so perfectly portrays people of your mindset that it makes you uncomfortable, which is certainly understandable.

Dennis Miller? Beck is ten times more talented, and funny.

Never heard of him.

That’s okay, he’s never hear of you. And he never will.

and thus we prove comedy is subjective.

“For the record, I believe Sarah Palin is a true statesman whose experience as a failed Vice Presidential candidate, half-term governor, and eight-episode reality show star has fully prepared her to take control of our nuclear arsenal.”

…but Stephen, she doesn’t lie, or deliberately misrepresent her policies and positions, like the President does!

CosmosDan said:

Oh, I guess. Miller’s stand up act is way funnier than his Fox appearances.

Once again, Glenn Beck has overmanmediaattentionpowered Steven Colbert…I mean, I thought this article was about Colbert, not Beck, but many of the comments speak of Beck’s sense of humor and compare his wit to the likes of Dennis Miller….uh…Dennis who? I am shocked Comedy Central hasn’t tried to snag Glenn Beck from under Fox’s nose, especially since even Glenn compares himself with the likes of Jon Stewart and…the Simpsons…oh I get it…THAT’S why he stays with Fox.
