Colbert exposes the truth about YearlyKos.
Last night on the Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert covered this past weekend’s YearlyKos convention, explaining “what a blogger is.” “It is someone who has a laptop, an axe to grind and their virginity,” said Colbert. Watch it:

Wrong. Liberals here are treating it as a serious editorial. It’s not. Colbeit is not a journalist, he is not a columnist, he is a comedian.

Actually, we’re all laughing about it. The only one taking it seriously is you (and the rest of the Republican al-Qa’ida).
August 8th, 2007 at 12:44 pmWatch the video – absolutely brilliant. O’reilly is such a buffoon.

Wrong. Liberals here are treating it as a serious editorial.
7 Comments before mine (currently, maybe more before I post this) and 2 are from you, 2 are in response to you, one is about Rudy, and the other two are complementing Colbert on being funny.
So far no one is treating this seriously at all. Unless ‘here’ is some how meta-physical or meaning a larger area than this comment thread, or even TP in general.
So in conclusion, you fail.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:46 pmDr. Dog – since you are such a MIND READER – why don’t you join the circus?
August 8th, 2007 at 12:46 pmPoor Dr. Dog, sux to be you huh? Such a loser, supporting a losing war, losing party, and losing country.
Faux news has highest news ratings, but yet 100% of all the idiots in America is not something to be proud of.
Haha you suck Deputy Dawg! (really you’re too stupid to be a Dr.).

Listen stupid, Colbert and Stewart are not real journalists. It’s not real news. Their editorials are comedic acts, not serious news.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:46 pmI don’t watch Colbert.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:47 pmI prefer Fox “News” for all my fake news needs.

Wow. You’ve certainly got the brains of a dog.
Here moron. Let me help. Here is the “NEWS QUOTE” that adorns this article.
It is someone who has a laptop, an axe to grind and their virginity,â€
See moron, this is called a JOKE. The virginity reference should have given it away to you. Then again, maybe being one yourself made it not so funny?
Anyway, TP posts it in good fun, and the bloggers have fun with it.
Except for idiots like you, who clearly just don’t get it.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:47 pmHow can yu finf=d something that’s lost, when you don’t know where to look?
August 8th, 2007 at 12:47 pmColbert is one of the few truly great satirists of our time.

What clearly bothers you and the right wing about Colbert, Stewart, Maher, and every other comedy show on TV, is that they ALL MOCK YOU.
They make a living off of MOCKING you, LOL.
Why?
Because its sooooooo easy to mock idiots like you.
It drives you crazy, that everyone in the country is watching Colbert, and you guys can’t tell a joke to save your lives. And you want to know why you guys can’t tell jokes? Because you ARE the jokes.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:50 pmI am sure Chuck Schumer used his contacts at comedy central to orchestrate this comment. Right Mr. Dog?

That’s a vicious rumour! A rumour started by a few million people.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:50 pmWow, the quality of republican trolling ain’t getting any better, is it, Dr. Dog?
August 8th, 2007 at 12:51 pmHehehe. That Bill O´Reilly guy is a laugh.
August 8th, 2007 at 12:51 pmDr.Dog, did anyone ask you what you had for breakfast?
August 8th, 2007 at 12:51 pm“Colbert exposes the truth about YearlyKos.” see? its IRONY. are bloggers really nazi’s and ku klux klan? no, they are not. Does Bill O’Reilly actually believe they are? well, yes, he says he does. The humor lies in the fact that conservative pundits are thoughtless ignorant outspoken simpletons, and people believe them. Colbert is satirising this format, by making statements that are so far fetched and off base, that only a conservative pundit could say it and actually believe it. he did it for the lulz.

August 8th, 2007 at 1:04 pmFirst, this was freakin’ hysterical. Colbert = genius.
Second of all, Republicans don’t get humor. Seriously … name me one truly funny Republican. Just one.

Comment by Dr. Dog — August 8, 2007 @ 12:46 pm
Wow- your idiocy and lack of critical thinking knows no bounds. No wonder you were such an easy recruit for the Republican al-Qa’ida.
But seriously – Colbert and Jon Stewart may not be “serious journalists,” but they (and their highly capable writing staffs) are political satirists, following in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, Thomas Nast, and the late Art Buchwald. While these are not “serious journalists,” they nevertheless have contributed significantly to political dialogue throughout this country’s history. To simply dismiss their work by saying “they’re just comedians” is to ignore a plethora of very important American literature.
And furthermore, they both happen to be very good interviewers, in their own way. I much prefer Jon Stewart’s upbeat but occasionally pointed interviewing style to the talking-point-enabling drivel on the “serious” cable news channels.

What about vaudeville-style slapstick humor? Cause it was hilarious when Bush fell off that Segway.
August 8th, 2007 at 1:08 pmGood news!
Bush’s approval rating has recovered slightly to 34%.
Congress still 14%?

August 8th, 2007 at 1:12 pmStewart and Colbert do a great job in showing the serious issues of the day while injecting humor. Maybe some don’t get it. It does require some background knowledge of what is being discusses and the Fox watchers aren’t given the basics so I can see why some don’t get it.
too bad.

Nice topical adaptation of my favorite joke. :)
August 8th, 2007 at 1:13 pmJon Stewart was the only one to notice what Hillary actually was saying-”she will take lobby money because lobbyists are real people like nurses and teachers, and then she will not listen to them’.
August 8th, 2007 at 1:14 pmNo “real” journalist caught the contradiction, so much for being just a comedian.
And Colbert was brilliant, so funny, I couldn’t stop laughing and I bet you Kos was cracking up too. Maybe we will see Kos on Colbert soon?
I woke up to the Chairman of the National Young Republicans phil-lating my wee wee. I told him to wake me before he starts.

Ah yes, I was thinking Jonathan Swift, but the humor is lost in history now unless you study early 18th England. Gulliver’s Travels are a lot funnier if you are an 18thC English historian…… Maybe there should be a comedic prize for satire….?

August 8th, 2007 at 1:51 pmI was sooooooooo hoping you would cover his skit last night.
The most telling thing about the skit was the audience’s stunned silence. By the time he state’s Kos is too young to grow a mustache, then shows him with Hitler’s trademark mustache, the crowd didn’t make a sound.
As much as you guys love to claim it was just brilliant satire, it was obvious that it hurt just a little bit, because it hit too close to home. I keep trying to tell you that your movement is obviously fascist, in that you won’t allow democratic processes to move forward naturally. You try to disrupt these processes and personally attack your opponents. O’Reilly is correct, you are little different from the Nazi’s and KKK.

Colbert makes the Fox talkingheads look so stupid because he exposes their petty posturing. And the neo-cons who go on his show all squirm with discomfort as he pushes their nonsensical attitudes to the extreme.
Colbert rules.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:04 pm#91, squeegee,
While “The Talking Heads” were an ’80’s alternative music group, the term “talking head” refers to video news reports that shows the correspondent from the neck up, making them appear to be a “talking head”.
I took this from Wikipedia:
In broadcasting, slang for interview footage shot in a locked down medium shot of the subject’s head and shoulders. It also refers to an anchor, pundit, or other personality on news television.

Perhaps the audience was silent because they recognized the serious truth behind the comedy that our present government is too dam* close to that of Hitler. I do clowning, including gospel clowning, and there as in most comedic venues it is recognized that comedy can be extremely serious and does not have to be all “yuk yuk”. The common elements are exaggeration and sudden shifts in communicative paths. Colbert does both extremely well.

Yes, Colbert’s skits are some of the best on TV, but his slams on Kos were devastating, which left the crowd speechless.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:14 pmJMH obviously has not made any progress in his thought processes since his arrogant and totally wrong predictions about the 2006 national elections. Be prepared to engage the “non-sequitor response team”.

If you read yesterday’s thread, the libs are also happy to watch China sanction and subsidize the genocide in Africa as well. Anything for the cause – little by little, step by step, liberal netrooters are morphing into the commie-fascists of the last century.

Comment by Jason M. Hendler — August 8, 2007 @ 2:09 pm
He’s got a good point. It’s a very slippery slope from making fun of people on the Internet to genocide. That’s how the Spanish Inquisition started – some 15th Century blogger posted “Ferdinand II of Aragon is a big dummy lol” on andalusiamoriscos.org. Next thing you know, Jews and Muslims were being expelled from the Iberian peninsula left and right.
The blogosphere = gateway fascism.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:20 pmLets see.
Who’s more like the Nazi’s?
Well, lets look at the Nazi’s.
We know Hitler invaded foreign countries who had not attacked Germany using the threat of terrorism against the homeland as the justification for the invasions.
Hitler also supported removing civil liberties following a terrorist attack, and introduced his enabling act.
We also know the right wing has invaded and supports invading foreign countries who have not attacked the US, using the justification of terrorism against the homeland.
The right wing also has removed civil liberties following a terrorist attack, and introduced their Patriot Act.
Now. Who’s more like the Nazi’s again?

Is this really the best you can come up with? You and the rest of the Republican al-Qa’ida are seriously scraping the bottom of the insult barrel. It’s so pathetic!
August 8th, 2007 at 2:24 pmColbert, Stewart, o lie ly, matthews/ dobbs are all entertainers trying to be funny/informative/argumentative to make money and stay in that liitlle tv box as long as they can. As a watcher of the above. I think they are good at it. Many are better. If you see them as any noblier than what I stated then I am smarterthanyou. Don’t make heros out of desperate people living on ratings to survive.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:26 pmAnd as for the idiotic claims of “Slams against the Daily Kos”, I can only attribute such statements to inbreeding.
Apparently, there are some people out there still too stupid to get it.
Colbert is playing a role. The role of a stupid right wing newscaster, like Oreilly, or Hannity.
Whatever he says, its the opposite he is truly advocating.
:|
Geesh. Its like talking to a school of fish.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:27 pmOh sweet fuqing jesus …
No one can be this stupid, can they? Let’s see …
Swiftboats, Karl Rove, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’reilly, Free Republic, LGF, people who wear Purple Heart band-aids that insult those who actually served, and Newt Gingrich.
And that’s just for starters.
It must suck to wake up every morning without any firm grip on reality whatsoever.
.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:27 pmBTW If Colbert was so funny then why didn’t his audience LOL?
Colbert ratings go down and like other talking heads he attacks somebody. I am sure KOS can handle Colbert and O lie ly. pssst. it is intervention time if any of you guys like Billo.
Give them your money but not your soul.

August 8th, 2007 at 2:34 pmConservatives are CAPITALISTS, not fascist. Fascism is merely the other side of the coin of communism – read up on it.
Actually, capitalism is on the other side of the coin from communism – one is an economic system based on free markets, one is a planned economy. Fascism is a political ideology. Perhaps coins on your home planet have three sides, but here they just have two sides (and no, the edge doesn’t count).
Yes, Colbert’s skits are some of the best on TV, but his slams on Kos were devastating, which left the crowd speechless.
Comment by Jason M. Hendler — August 8, 2007 @ 2:14 pm
Actually, the crowd laughed through the whole thing, even the Hitler moustache. No, it didn’t get as big a laugh as the burning cross e-card, but the Nazi/Kos segment did get laughs. Unlike you morons, the in-studio audience got that the joke was directed at Bill O’Reilly, not DailyKos.
P.S. You’re a moron.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:34 pm#119, MD,
Swiftboaters merely refuted John “can’t keep his ass down while hiding” Kerry claiming he was a hero.
Karl Rove just helped give Christian conservatives a means of stopping judicial activism and stand up for their desire to preserve marriage.
Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin were viciously savaged by the left before they eventually took up arms and savagely struck back.
O’Reilly defends people who want to celebrate Christmas against Grinches who want it banished from public life.
Free Republic is a haven for those who have been flogged with political correctness.
Newt Gingrich is a brilliant historian and policy maker, who got our Congress to function properly again – reforming welfare and passing NAFTA and GATT.
None of these people organize bloggers to swarm adversaries as your mob does.

Here’s a little secret:
I respect that. Keep “saving” yourself until the right woman comes along. That, is commendible!
Just refrain from personal attacks (like calling every woman who posts here a femi-nazi), and some day
BOOM
It’ll be your lucky day!

What was a hidden disease, schizophrenia is more readily diagnosed. And if someone you love has schizophrenia, recommend Zyprexa, a drug proven to reduce symptoms like auditory and visual hallucinations.
August 8th, 2007 at 2:57 pmWeight gain is a common side effect of Zyprexa.
White blood cell count may be reduced while on Zyprexa.
Have your doctor closely monitor you while on Zyprexa, as very rare but unexplained deaths have occured.
POOR POOR bartlee can not debate just attack. Colbert deserves a better champion.

August 8th, 2007 at 3:00 pmConservatives are CAPITALISTS, not fascist. Fascism is merely the other side of the coin of communism – read up on it.
Um, fascism, by the definition of the man who came up with it, Mussolini, is the merger of the corporate sector with the government.
If a corporation were a government, how would you describe the politics of how it’s run? A Democracy? A Republic? A Parlimentary system? NO. They are a fascist dictatorship. Period.
BTW, we’re not calling you Nazis, just fascists. More in the Spanish or Italian mold but uniquely American. Deal with it.
August 8th, 2007 at 3:06 pmOnce again, a post I put up is removed, while the trolls still have free reign to post whatever the hell they want.
This has happened to numerous regulars over the past few months, with ZERO rhyme or reason. Sometimes the posts magically reappear, other times they don’t.
It’s like there’s some random script in the CSS that goes through and removes posts. Either that, or their new interns suck at their jobs.

August 8th, 2007 at 3:13 pm#144, VP Bush,
I guess Hugo Chavez just merged international energy interests with his government, as opposed to merely seizing them. This is where communism and fascism gets blurry, because nations aren’t simply agricultural or industrial anymore. Some very poor nations have enterprises owned by foreign capitalists that can be seized.
Rhodesia was very productive and wealthy, when agriculture was owned and run by foreign nationals, then Rhodesians gained power, seized those lands and called the country Zimbabwe. Now they are all starving again, with their economy collapsed.

Thats most likley due to an issue with the clustering. I doubt TP has one server. They probably cache and cluster, and they may have recently added something like a content switch (a content switch is a device that accepts the HTTP connections on the front end and distributes them evenly to multiple clustered servers on the back end) which is sending you to a different server when you refresh. If you post your comment and then refresh, and the content switch sends you to a different server that hasn’t sync’d yet, it might not show your comment.
I really think its technical issues.
August 8th, 2007 at 3:57 pmOkay … you’re smarter than me (a pretty low hurdle to clear, but still … ).
