The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg stopped in at “The Colbert Report” on Tuesday to comment on the whole Iran-bombing hoopla that’s affecting certain world leaders lately (you know who you are), pronouncing that “bad things would flow from a decision to bomb Iran, either by Israel or by the United States.”

I don’t believe Colbert was so hard on Dr. Laura
and I believe his day should be and is over. She should
have never had the light of day on his show, same with
this asshole.  And Colbert is a complete asshole, and ,
Stewart is turning into one$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
 
Screw Viacom….......turn your TV sets off…..

Really disappointed in Colbert, he has this zionist prick on and all he is doing is repeating his talking points.

Wish Colbert had been just as hard on this clown as he was on Laura Ingraham. When we get into an even more deadly, serious catastrophe in the Middle East, US “liberals” will have no one but themselves to blame.

Apparently, the only requirement for employment by The Atlantic is to have fundamental agreement with official orthodoxy, and staggering ignorance about the subject to which you’ve been assigned to comment.

Contrary to what both Goldberg and Colbert think Iranians are not any more religious fanatics ready to bomb Israel for ‘religious motives’ any more than America and Israel are ‘commercial fanatics’ ready to bomb countries in order to make profits on their military investments. In fact I believe they are less likely to do so.
