Colbert Goes Over The Line

Colbert could have said something else like Trump is Putin's puppet. Maybe have a Trump puppet doll and Putin pulling the strings. But the right wants to boycott the weirdest things. People laugh at their so-called boycotts.

Well, my opinion is that Colbert and Fallon both suck, and that's why I've never watched them.

Nothings going to happen to Stephen Colbert. CBS won't touch him. The FCC won't bother with this because his monologue didn't violated indecency rules. Right-Wing conservatives won't dare picket him because they'd be seen as hypocrites on 2nd-Amendment "free speech" grounds. The LBGT-Q community...well, they'll just have to get over themselves since the joke wasn't bashing them as much as it was basking the POTUS. Last but not least, even if Pres. Trump wanted to say something about this he can't since it was he who campaigned on not being so politically correct (code for what many view as "don't bite your tongue - say what's on your mind").

Bottom Line: We're still talking about this non-issue? :confused:

OK, I'll call your 'bottom line' and raise you 'why did you feel the need to respond to a "non-issue"?'
Pot's light!

I chimed in this time only because I find it laughable that folks are still ranting on and on and on about how Stephen Colbert should be fined or fired over this when he really didn't do anything wrong. The man censored himself by bleeping out the most sensitive/"offensive" portion of his monologue. Besides, since his show airs after 10pm CST, there's really little if anything the FCC can or will do about this. Thus, this really is a non-issue and I'm very surprised people are still so up in arms over it.

(Of course, since arguments seem to be falling along partisan lines, I guess I really shouldn't be that surprised. Some folks will argue just for the sake of arguing.)
 
I just want to close by saying that republicans are the last ones who get to complain about the joke's 'homophobia', given they've spent 25 years and counting trying to deprive gay people of any rights whatsoever

If this comedian has to lose his job over homophobia, i expect all republicans to resign immediately

People who advocate for the "right to hate" seem to get the most butt hurt when the hate starts to get directed at them.
 
I 'd like to see Trump on Colbert's show. Bill it "The Battle of the IQ's". HaaaHaa.
 
Well said. Gonna look forward to what you have to say.
