You know I haven't watched a late night show in probably 10 years, but the other night I watched the one with the fat English guy, and damn it is really funny.

Interesting how gay jokes are only funny when used by a leftist.

I could see how the gay community could take offense, but I agree with you. I am fine with idiots showing their true colors. I sure as hell don't care enough to feign outrage.

I think Colbert was way out of line. Whatever. I'm surprised he won't face sanctions for saying that on network television. That's still regulated by the FCC (unlike cable and streaming services).

It wasn't a gay joke and I love gay jokes


There is a double standard however but this is the o'Reilly shite only I'm betting the murdochs didn't do shite to calm down advertisers.

Interestingly though NBC is winning in the key demo. The Trump anger management show you'd think would skew younger

whatever homophobia is, or is not

he was denigrating the president by associating him with homosexual acts

which is supposed to be verboten in liberal dogma

which again shows the deep hypocrisy of your average, everyday iconic liberal intelligentsia

Oh the FCC is going to hit him for sure and cbs will do what they always do

Bend over and take it. They'll tell Colbert to cool it.

It was a dumb gay joke. Basically "you suck putins dick". Which basically is putting down gay men.

I think it was denigrating the president with sexual acts, and Putin/Trump happen to be men. If you call a woman a certain man's cock holster is that described as a heterosexual joke, or just a sexual joke?

I think it would be a major victory the movement if we could force Colbert to apologize on air for making the comment.

It was a gay joke. It wasn't a gay slur, as some have called it. At least, not IMO. Definitely inappropriate and immature.

I don't watch his show, but is that a prerequisite for thinking he took it too far with the cock holster comment and that I hope for his demise?

The double standard of the left is self evident.

The problem is he hoped funny slang would carry a poor joke which all it did was (after all the insults he ranted off right before) put gay men in the crosshairs of the insult instead.

Taking it too far sure

Is that really why you want him fired? No.

No one promoting the hashtag cares that it was. Like me, they just don't like the guy.

They're not going to boycott his advertisers

They don't watch his show


Just like the O'Reiley crap. Sadly though this shite tends to work.

I think Colbert should be fired but not because what he said was homophobic. What he said crossed the line.

I think that gives Colbert way too much credit. I think it was a Michael Richards moment, only he won't be held accountable because it was a verbal assault against a Republican and especially Trump
