Lousy rotten liberal bastards. English IS the language of the bible. Didn’t anybody see Charleton Heston playing Moses (the father of Jesus)? Look it up man!!! Long live Sir Stephen. AMEN.

The reason for the success of “The Colbert Report” is that liberals know he’s kidding and conservatives don’t. Diabolical!

Konja Sam, I guess you don’t know much about Stephen Colbert. After seeing his interview on 60 mins i definitely knew he was joking.

Konja:
Colbert is a satirist. He was lampooning that viewpoint. For more Satire, may I point you to
“A Modest Proposal” by Jonathon Swift, wherein, he suggests the eating of Irish infants.
Much of the writings of Mark Twain, other than Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and the War Prayer. May i suggest: His letters and speeches.

Konja Sam, way to miss the point.
It’s called satire. Maybe you’ve heard of it.

Your kidding right ? I mean, we all know that God didn’t invent ENGLISH !!!. If the school teaches that you should stop giving out those degrees! And if Mr. Colbert can’t stop believing that, he needs to step away from the mic.

Stephen Colbert is the court jester of the people’s court and is doing a wonderful job. He answers the call for the liberal response to the screamers on Fox News. Those people might not like him but they can’t silence him without silencing themselves. His courage is astonishing. I think I’m in love.
