While the rest of America ridicules Colbert’s grotesque distended ear and his stupid, sappy schtick.

“High velocity hacy sack”… pretty funny. The rest of it — stupid as usual.

I’ll never believe these people are concerned about money corrupting politics until they show the same rage towards unions as they do towards corporations. Pure hypocrisy. Personally, I feel both are equally outrageous.

Not so much. 

Poor baby!  I bet he was just as concerned about the negative media coverage of Tea Party rallies (that weren’t violent, weren’t destructive, weren’t marred by arrests, drug use, theft, and rape).

critical coverage?  are u kidding.  Liberal media filth have bent over backwards to avoid negative pictures, covering whose there, revealing who is running these “protests”.  The liberal lie is strong and clear.

Uhhh, what media is being “overly critical”? All the MSM stories I see are over the top in their support and deflection of the negative aspects. 

I guess you don’t get out much. 

What doe s”getting out” have to do with anything? You deflect like the media does. 

Wouldn’t the problem be getting out /too much?/

The dude’s dumber than a box of rocks.

Poor Colbert- America has turned on OWS and his blind lib ideology doesn’t allow him to see it. What a loser he is.

Says the guy who has never lived in a home that didn’t have wheels.

Both shows stink of lefty halitosis & b.o.

Unfortunately the Wall Street protesters have not yet hired the media relations firms that Freedom Works hired for the tea-party.  Also there’s no nation wide bus tour planned and promoted by a major cable news outlet.  And the Koch brothers are not in favor of American citizens having rights.

I remembers Colbert’s outrage over the Tea Party coverage… oh… wait. Never mind.

Teabaggers and other Republicans attack OWS because Teabaggers and other Republicans are hardcore fascists.  They do whatever their corporate leaders tell them to do.  In this case, they have been systematically trained to defend the criminals who destroyed our economy and continue to do so. Republicans don’t even know that they have the option of thinking for themselves.

Actually the media is NOT covering the ugly side of OWS.

the rapes, the intimidation, the violence, and the thefts.

They did cover the Iraqi vet who was hit by gas cannister…but I bet they won’t report this;

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/10/good-grief-leftie-hero-scott-olsen-is-founder-of-i-hate-the-marines-com/

The vet is ANTI-MILITARY and anti-Jewish.

Actually the “Teabaggers” were and are against the bailouts of corporations and believed that those entities should have not been helped out. And that those who cheated the system should have been run out of town.

I don’t see how that is “Do[ing] whatever corporate leaders tell them to do.” The corporations wanted the bailouts. The “Teabaggers” said “No, you’re on your own.”

You’re only proving my point. Teabaggers will support whichever position their corporate leaders tell them to support, even if one position is at odds with the other. That’s why Teabaggers are not occupying Wall Street.

The Teabaggers are the people who created the situation that led to the downfall of our economy. That’s why they started calling themselves Teabaggers in the first place; they were too cowardly to take the blame for all thing things they did when they called themselves Republicans.

Actually the Koch Bros. spent tens of millions of their own dollars fighting the Patriot Act when Bush was prez, so you’re claim that they oppose Americans having rights is ridiculous and unfounded.

First, the protesters started the rock throwing in Oakland and the police responded.  However, Colbert loves to deflect news and blame the police.  A tear gas can hit this guy in the head and caused him harm, but it would have never came to this if the rocks and bottles didn’t come first.
Then, in order to trash the media , which has been in the bag with OWS, he shows two clips from Fox News, who have been all over the violence and anti-American sentiment within their protests.  He couldn’t come up with a major news organization’s (ABC, CBS or NBC) clip on it because there is none.
So, this is just another MSM looking to protect the OWS and trash Fox News.

LOL!  Nice set up there.  No matter what a conservative says, you simply make it fit your flawed perspective. 

Thank you for continuing to prove liberalism is a childhood disease: it keeps the mental capacity of it’s sufferers at a 3 year-old level.

Yes, an anti-Semite and anti-Marine Corps protestor was disturbing the peace and got in the head with a tea gas canister.

Oh, self-fulfilling parody Stephen Colbert left all that out and just mentioned that he was in Iraq.

Why are you wasting your time?

Wait, so an Iraqi war vet is anti-military and anti-jewish?  So that excuses having his skull cracked open?  So that somehow excuses the police for brutality, not over riots, but over “I think we’ve given them their chance to speak their minds” as stated by the chief of police.  Your ignorance is only exceeded by your partisan desire to trash Americans.  Regardless of his views, he’s still an American citizen, who served his country.  Which is way more than I can say about you.

If these people are criminals, why aren’t they in jail? I’m curious what your bigoted perspective is on this.

Trevor, Go back to Korea. 

Actually, the Tea Party protests AGAINST the big-gov’t and corporatist policies that bankrupted the country under Bush and Obama. 

People who blame “corporations” for the problems of the economy generally don’t appear to understand what a corporation is — a legal fiction to conveniently represent an agglomeration of people’s interests.  Without the corporate form of business entity, 90% of the economy would not and could not exist. 

Corporatism — gov’t promoting policies to help companies like GE and Solyndra in exchange for compaign contributions — is the problem, not corporations.

Occupying Wall Street is dumb, they can do nothing but what the gov’t tells them.  Occupying the White House would make a lot more sense.

“Unfortunately the Wall Street protesters have not yet hired the media
relations firms that Freedom Works hired for the tea-party.”

That’s because the protesters are too busy erecting empty tents to make their dying astroturfed fake populist movement look viable.

I guess you think Teddy Roosevelt is a Republican.

So pretty much everyone takes you assumptions with a giant grain of salt.

So when does Stevie plan on saying something intelligent?

 You’re only proving my point. Teabaggers will support whichever position their corporate leaders tell them to support, even if one position is at odds with the other.

Sorry, that doesn’t make a lick of sense. Once again: the corporations wanted the bailouts. They took the bailouts.

The Tea Party was against what the corporations wanted, i.e., bailouts.

If the Tea Party did whatever corporations ordered them to do, they would have supported the assistance to the corporations.

Second: the economic crisis was caused, to a large degree, by a worldwide availability of cheap credit. Central banks here and abroad and China flooded the world with easy credit. Unfortunately, the credit wasn’t adequately watched and we had a global housing and property bubble that popped.

The Tea Party – which didn’t exist at that time – had nothing to do with that flood of easy credit. It was a worldwide phenomenon caused by a myriad of factors.

Colbert became a has been the day he testified in Congress. Fabulously unfunny, mean, predictable. He now tries to recover the flame by being “controversial”. Like the pathetic Bill Maher.

I guess you wont see this news on Mediaite or any liberal network about shooting the police at OWS! But hey are their really journalist anymore? pretty much seen as lap dogs for the left or followers of trying to be hip and accepted….like many of my college friends who got tramp stamps because everyone else did! 

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/alleged-flyer-at-occupy-phoenix-ponders-when-should-you-shoot-a-cop/ 

People involved in violent protests should have the common sense to look where the tear gas canisters are being fired…

Left center or right you run into a problem by trying to depict the Tea Party as having a consistent stance. (Needless to point out, OWS is all over the place too.)    For the Tea Party, there really were two phases: the first 4-6 weeks when it really was a grass roots movement driven by economic concerns primarily, with genuine capacity to contest corporate bailouts.   

After that, two big factors came into play: massive corporate funding via FreedomWorks (Verizon & big oil major contributors) and American for Prosperity (Koch Brothers companies big funders) which carried a ton of pro-corporate guidance and influence with it.  The second factor was the flocking of many ultra-conservative evangelicals to the movement, with their core issue being that religion needed to be more prominent in government and that government needed to boost Christianity more.  This was borne out in a recent NYT poll, citing religion in government as the single biggest unifying issue of the Tea Party circa July 2011.     

Occupy Madison Loses Permit Because Protesters Were “Publicly Masturbating”…

Life is cheap – you think the post gives a sh*t if some vet catches a canister in the noodle?  Hell his type gets blown-up daily by IEDs.  Thats not news and the American people literally could care less about someone getting hurt in ‘war’ or in protest.  In fact we seem to disregard our services persons more than any other fellow American.

Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but Corporate American Government leads people like this young serviceman to the slaughter for no other reason than profit.  I highly doubt the super rich that own the news media have any interest in peddling this sad story.

btw what is on American Idol this week?

“Then, in order to trash the media , which has been in the bag with OWS” – the Washington Post ran a picture of a cop petting a kitten apropos the event!  How is that in the bag for OWS.  How much do they pay you to say these absurd talking points?

source please

Never that is the point – he just speaks conservative talking points.  That’s it – no intelligence just the latest conservative pablum.

The Tea Party is basically a minarchist, small-gov’t movement — everything else is largely ancillary. As a libertarian I have no use for coercive social conservatism.

NYT polls generally tell you only what the NYT wants you to think. Poll after poll after poll have shown that reducing gov’t is the unifying Tea Party issue.

Your definition of Corporatism is somewhat flawed.  It’s like saying if you got a girl pregnant then it’s all her fault because she agreed to have sex with you.  I realize that there could be a bit of a chicken and egg debate here, but the government promoting corporate favorable policies is not only because of lobbying and contributions by the corporations, it based on attempting to induce a healthy and attractive economy that corporations can expand and flourish, thus employing more citizens.  Problem is that the reinvestment (at least in America) that was/is expected hasn’t happened and the gap between the haves and have-nots is headed in the opposite direction than it should.

You don’t understand. Teabaggers were against Wall Street when they were told to be against Wall Street and they’re for Wall Street now that they’re being told to be for Wall Street. Teabaggers NEVER think for themselves. That is not something Republicans do.

As for all of the deregulation and lack of oversight, that’s the fault of Teabaggers and other Republicans. The Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress for most of the lead-up to the down-fall. Nobody was minding the store (but Republicans).

You’re totally wrong. Teabaggers supported ALL of the things that got us into this mess. They supported the belligerent wars, they supported the belligerent spending, they supported the ridiculous tax cuts, they supported the lack of oversight, they supported the lax regulations.

You have to remember that the only reason Teabaggers started calling themselves Teabaggers was because they were too embarrassed to own up to all the damage they did when they called themselves Republicans. Teabaggers are hypocritical cowards to the extreme.

I just tell the truth. All Republicans have been systematically trained to reject the truth.

You do realize that he is playing a character? He is brilliant at making fun of the conservatives…it might be going over your head.

2:44: “We’re gonna snort up the ground up bones of the poor.” Funny little gesture he makes at 2:55 miming coke snorting and rubbing his gums. Colbert is brilliant.
