Colbert Report visits Iraq.
By on Jun 6th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Colbert Report visits Iraq.
The U.S. Army confirms that Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” has arrived in Iraq to tape a week of shows. Colbert’s trip is dubbed “Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.” The visit was organized by United Service Organisations (USO), which arranges entertainment and support for American troops overseas. “The USO counts this as military service, right?” Colbert said in a press release. “I might want to run for office some day.”

my favorite “conservative”!
what a blast for those personel in iraq!
surely they “get it”…
June 6th, 2009 at 3:05 pmOh he was serious! A few days ago, when he said he was going, I thought he was just setting up for one of those ‘pretend’ visits.
I love Stephen Colbert. I bet the troops will get a much-needed laugh.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:09 pmThe statement said Colbert has scheduled interviews with several senior US military officers including General Ray Odierno, the top US commander in Iraq. He will also interview Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh.
I hope for their sakes they know what they’re getting into! lol

And the veiled death threats begin. Way to go, troll. If I had to guess (and no one is going to torture me into doing it), I would say that you are either a fan or an employee of O’Reilly sent here to post veiled death threats such as yours for the sole purpose of having them here for O’Reilly to point to and say, “See? I told you so.”
June 6th, 2009 at 3:19 pmActually, they profess to find him funny; they just think he really IS conservative.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pmDr. Hussein Matt Says:
Reich-wing GOPig terrorist teabaggers do not find Colbert funny because he’s not racist, paranoid, and Anti-American like their terrorist heros, Becky, O’Racist, and Drugbaugh.
Ten minutes later:
Go Liberty Says:
You latte drinking sh*theads may find that your unfunny icon encounters some friendly fire. HAHAHAHA
Dr. Matt diagnosed another one.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pmI see a new sockpuppet is here, trying to fulfill his pathetic little aim of getting banned even more quickly than his last sockpuppet.
Good luck with that.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:24 pmAnyone who thinks Colbert is “unfunny” clearly has no sense of humor. Either that or they are simply resentful of his ability to make them look so stupid simply by carrying out their arguments to their logical extremes.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:27 pmGee, when did Colbert ever mock our troops?
He has certainly mocked their former Commander-in-Chief, but he doesn’t count as one of the troops.
Another troll spewing lies that he cannot substantiate.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:29 pmWayne – can it be both?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:31 pmHe’s unfunny. Maybe your standard of humor is idiotically low. Do you laugh at breadcrumbs on the counter, leftist?
WTF???
June 6th, 2009 at 3:31 pmOh no Wayne! He called you a “leftist”! That’ll teach you.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pmmary lacewing,
Sure, why not? The two can go hand-in-hand (though he might think that’s gay of him.)
June 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pmNeat.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:32 pmWayne, I never would have believed it possible, but apparently we have been spoiled by trolls whose lunacy can actually be followed. Even if it’s stupid (and it always is) it could usually be seen to follow some warped trail of trollogic, however bizarre its path.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:35 pmColbert’s detractors are ignorant pussies too scared to open a book and learn something.
Two can play at this game.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:36 pmralph,
I see what you mean. No one has ever told me that anything I ever said or wrote was funny. ;)
June 6th, 2009 at 3:37 pmAll 1.3 million of them?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:38 pmMy greatest achievement was that MBA.
An MBA like the one George W. Bush got?
Anyone who loves free markets and capitalism hates their fellow man.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:39 pmGo Liberty Says:
You latte drinking sh*theads…
June 6th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
As I said to your sockpuppet counterpart early this morning, I have never had a latte in my life and I wouldn’t waste my money on one.
Do you have any other talking points that you’d like us to dismiss, racist ahole troll?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pmFrom Wiki:
Albert John Dunlap (born July 26, 1937) is a professional corporate downsizer popularly known as “Chainsaw Al” and “Rambo in Pinstripes”. CNBC has named Dunlap as one of the “Worst American CEOs of All Time”, and he is barred from serving as an officer or director of any public company as a result of his conduct at Sunbeam Corp.[1]
June 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pmI’ve never sipped a latte in my life and never will. And I believe my fellow bloggers will confirm that I am the last one to give myself a “glowing review.” So I am not nearly as full of myself as you are.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pmGo Liberty Says:
My greatest achievement was that MBA.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Yeah, I keep getting that MBA spam email, too – you actually fell for it?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pmColbert Rocks! Our Troops deserve some great entertainment!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pmThanks, Shadowboxer. Why am I reminded of Kevin Costner’s line in “Field of Dreams”? “I could never respect a man whose hero was a criminal.”
June 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pmI suppose the free market makes the underwear he’s sitting in possible, too.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:45 pmGo Liberty, you have to put down the pipe. Your starting to believe Bush was good for this country.
I’m calling your friends for an intervention. Do you have friends?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:48 pmAnd the laundry detergent that gets out those inevitable urine stains and skidmarks.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:48 pmThis is just one more reason why we should do what we can to support the USO. I’m going to paraphrase the USO’s ad line, because I think it needs tweaking.
We need our troops.
Our troops need the USO.
The USO needs us.
So tell the USO “Thank you.”
June 6th, 2009 at 3:49 pmOkay, I think our sockpuppet is actually one of our regular progressives in drag.
Who is it? TRoHS? That you?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:49 pmGo Liberty Says:

I started visiting TP about six months ago, ive gained alot from reading your posts. I knew that wingnuts were uninformed and dont give a shit about the truth. Are wingnuts really that gullible and stupid?
Looks like linder van tyrannist to me.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Looks like a new turd, Limperty, has been expelled from the same old cloaca.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:57 pmNo problem Wayne Ant. We would expect nothing more from someone who comes to a forum to attack with baseless insults and idiotic rantings. Where the F do these people come from? It boggles the mind.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:57 pmGo Liberty sort of forgot about the drug binging and AWOL GWB will never shake.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:58 pmWhat exactly is “myspace whores” supposed to even mean?
Does anyone know? Obviously, our sockpuppet knows, but as he doesn’t want to break character I’ll assume we won’t learn from that quarter.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:59 pmEwww, Sarah Palin taped a “shout out” for the show.
Thanks anyway.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:59 pmOil salesman? Not a CIA agent? Not the son of a supplier of goods to the Nazis?
Come on G lib, you have to remember more about the life of the Bush’s.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pmTrollspotter, also the ‘latte-drinking/sipping’ is a dead giveaway.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pmNot to mention the hardscrabble life as the grandson of a Senator from Connecticut in exclusive New England boarding schools.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pmI have met the son and his dad and a bunch of the rest of the kin folk. In fact some of them used to be my neighbors. I wasn’t all that impressed. The males tended to need fishing instruction. Still I must admit they enjoyed themselves while they practiced…
June 6th, 2009 at 4:01 pmGeorge W. Bush was born in New Haven, CT. The rest of your bio of him is pure hero-worship bullsh!t.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:01 pmGeorge Bush was born in Connecticut with a silver spoon in his mouth the size of Texas, hence, the reason for his family moving to that state later on. They wanted George’s mouth to look smaller than it is.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:02 pmGood point.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:02 pmralph, the list is long. The way G lib glosses over and cherry picks history he could make Joseph McArthy out to be dedicated to his job.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:04 pmDoesn’t that f ucked up idiot Merdad have a chubby about W?
June 6th, 2009 at 4:04 pmsipping beer.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:04 pm— Huh I thought he didn’t drink. Who is making this bio up as they go along…
sscncturn64 Says:
You left out a few good names (ElBruce, TRoS, etc.), but thank you! It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. It is truly amazing that so many people can be so damned ignorant.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:05 pmAmerica was safe until George Bush took the reins of our country in 2001. Then the largest attack on our nation occurred. This is why when the next attack on our nation happens we won’t be surprised, because George Bush made it a habit to ignore the real threats against us while giving the finger to everyone else to fuel more hatred against us. President Obama was given the biggest sh8t pile in the history of sh8t piles, but yet after 4 months in office, the right wingers are suicidal and scared out of the minds! What the hell!
June 6th, 2009 at 4:06 pmTaxes produces revenue for our government. Without revenue, we wouldn’t be able to protect our nation. Oh wait! That’s why the republicans hate taxes! With 51% of our tax money going to bombs and crap, they don’t like the idea of America being safe, because being unsafe is profitable for them! See? It’s all making sense now.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pmOh Geez. I so hate tax whiners…
June 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pmOn the weekends he’d go home to live his life just like every other American, clearing brush and sipping beer. The liberals, on the other hand, are shopping addicts.
First of all, it wasn’t “weekends”, it was months! He took more vacation time than any US president in history.
Second, he wasn’t “just like every other American,” so he shouldn’t have tried to behave as one. Frankly he had much more important stuff to do than clear brush and sip beer. (I thought he gave up drinking. Are you suggesting he lied about that, too?)
Last, “shopping addicts”? Then why did Bush tell Americans that the best thing they could do after the 9/11 attacks was to go shopping?
For someone who claims to have an MBA, you sure sound like you have never learned a fact in your life.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pmGWB took more vacations than any president. Just like every other American myass G lib. Every other American is working harder due to the complete ignorance GWB and his administration.
I don’t expect to change your mind and I hope you continue to try and show anything that you believe to be a positive for GWB. There are so many here who will reply with evidence and humor to entertain those who enjoy reading a troll getting trounced.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:08 pmThat’s kinda what tells me he’s a phony. Really a progressive, just playing dress-up. on a Saturday afternoon.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:09 pmGo Liberty = DUMBA$$

Not only do the libs tell people that success isn’t possible, they tax it.
To pay for pie in the sky military research, like Star Wars.
How does Libby propose paying for it? National bake sales?
June 6th, 2009 at 4:10 pmI’ve been reading and posting here for several years and I don’t remember seeing anyone write about how liberals don’t want people to have success.
Why G lib, I believe you are lying.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:10 pmGeorge Bush didn’t go to Israel until seven years into tenure of terrorism:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/dec/20/usa.israelandthepalestinians
George Bush spent 487 days on vacation at Camp David:
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/01/16/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4728085.shtml
And how many days at the fake Crawford ranch is anyone’s guess. I bet it was another year (article says 77 days but I think it was double that amount).
June 6th, 2009 at 4:12 pm“Yes, cutting your pay check gives you more money in the bank!”, Go Liberty spewed at a recent KKK meeting at Rush Limbaugh’s house on the beach.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:12 pmKay
Bush took SEVENTY SEVEN TRIPS to Crawford ; not spent 77 days there………
June 6th, 2009 at 4:13 pmI have an idea let’s do a little creative writing activity. Please compose a reflection paper in which we envision a government with a cabinet of one…
June 6th, 2009 at 4:13 pmiPhone? Is that a lib thing? I thought it was an excellent communication device that is sold by a sound american company that is running stronger than most other companies.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:14 pmOr even better than bake sales, introduce a new jerky on the market: teriyaki chickenhawk.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:14 pmI’m tellin’ ya, G Lib is a total fake. It doesn’t believe a thing it’s posting. It might not be TRoHS, but I can guarantee that it’s a liberal pretending to be a right-wing freak.
Y’all can work out the kinks in your troll-whacking muscles if you want, but it’s like hitting batting practice pitching. It’s not the real thing.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:15 pmif you look on the gov jobs site there are good military research jobs that pay $125,000. private revenues make it possible and those are the kinds of gov. jobs people want to see created.
I don’t normally say this to the trolls who come here and leave their droppings, but you are one stupid motherf ucker.
Congratulations, you earned that one.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:15 pmGo Liberty doesn’t think of our military as being a government job. He thinks the only government jobs are at Welfare Department. He has no idea that our tax money pays for our police, our fire fighters, or our rescue personnel. He thinks government is bad and thinks the best way to make us safe in the world is to not pay taxes to our government to use. This is considered strength to him. He also believes…
War is peace,
Freedom is slavery,
Ignorance is strength.
See?
June 6th, 2009 at 4:15 pmHi ralph.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:15 pmWhat do you think is up with this? The nonsense is too strong to suggest anything other than intentional silliness in my opinion…
Well I’m off to spend some time with my family. G lib is such an easy target. Happy hunting.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:16 pmDr. Hussein Matt Says:
Reich-wing GOPig terrorist teabaggers do not find Colbert funny…
Strangely, a lot of them do. I remember reading at one wingnut site where they were claiming that although he was doing a wicked parody of the right wing, deep underneath it all they felt he was secretly serious. I think he’s just so awesome that they can’t bring themselves to dislike him no matter how much he rips them up.

mary lacewing Says:
I hope for their sakes they know what they’re getting into! lol
This could end up as classic as when he hosted the White House Correspondent’s Dinner…

Go Liberty Says:
You latte drinking sh*theads may find that your unfunny icon encounters some friendly fire. HAHAHAHA
Threats of murder are hilarious. HAHAHAHA
Seeing as how Colbert has done more for veterans than any of the people he parodies, I have a funny feeling he’s going to be warmly received.
Oh look, it’s another guy who blames us for the existence of taxes. Yawn.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:16 pmGood point! Thanks for pointing that out to me. He spent easily over 3 years on vacation out of 8 years. Hell, it could have been 4 years total. No one knows, but you can bet your sweet bippy that the right wingers would have been fine if the pasty white George Bush took Air Force One to Alaska to purchase a donut and then back to Crawford! You know they would.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:17 pmYeah, well, so’s the 3rd string quarterback when he’s running the plays of next week’s opponent.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:17 pmGo Liberty Says:
The life of George W. Bush started in a small texas home with an oil salesman father and ventured through the history lecture hall of Yale and the hallmark American business classes at Harvard and capped off with the Presidency of the free world. George Bush told the story of America. Obama is apologizing for it.
george bush was born in CT, to the son of a son of privelege. His grandfather on one side of the family was one of founders of the CIA, His grandfather on the other was a WWII war criminal who sold gas chamber parts to HItler. HIs father’s father was a senator from CT. His Daddy was a congressman, a CIA director, and a one term -failed-president.
gwb went to andover prepratory academy in CT where he majored in cheerleading. He went to yale and was a C student, in an age when C’s were given to legacay students so daddy would continue to contribute to the college to keep junior in school. He got into Harvard, with a C average (which tells you all you need to know about Harvard’s standards…) Bush is the only president of the United States who served in the military to have NEVER received an honarable discharge.

Respect that.
So what if it’s only a trainer? I’m flyin’ man!
June 6th, 2009 at 4:18 pmdbadass, I believe I’ve made my position clear.
G Lib is as phony as store-brand cola.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:19 pmGeorge H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton both RAISED TAXES.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:21 pmMy apologies, dbadass. We’re usually in better synch than this.
it must be because TRoHS is playing dress-up. it’s unnerving.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pmKayInMaine Says:
George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton both RAISED TAXES.
So did Reagan, but they hate to admit that.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pmI suppose this egglant, bison, raspberry, spinach casserole isn’t gonna cook itself. Can someone buzz me on the red phone when someone a little more competent stumbles by?
June 6th, 2009 at 4:22 pmDoes anyone remember when Bush went to visit our troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving Day and he posed for a photo-op with an enormous, “plastic turkey dinner”?
It was just another stunt like the “Mission Accomplished” photo-op.

June 6th, 2009 at 4:37 pmKayInMaine,
Thank you for making W’s package be etched in my brain. ;-)
On that note, I’m off for some cocktails to erase it….
June 6th, 2009 at 4:39 pmExactly K although I am a little more experienced with Fidelity(s) I and II….
June 6th, 2009 at 4:45 pmShit sorry. I have no idea how KayinMaine became just K. Names are important.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:45 pmLOL ShadowBoxer! Sorry about that. *blushing*
Dbadass, it’s very possible Little Georgie crashed one of the other drug smuggling Fidelitys. Back in 2007, myself and others were protesting George Bush and Vladamir Putin. Bush apparently was out for a little “stroll” on one of the Fidelity boats, threw the anchor in the water to impress some locals on the beach, and got the anchor stuck between some rocks down below!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070701/bush-maine/
LMAO! What an idiot. It’s not called the “rocky coast” for nothing up here in Maine!
June 6th, 2009 at 4:50 pmIt’s okay, Dbadass. “K” is fine. I’ve been called worse. Trust me on this. LOL
June 6th, 2009 at 4:50 pmJane and Wayne – no lattes? No cell phones? At least you are driven around in a limo, right? Otherwise, how can you call yourselves liberals?
Hope your weather up there is as beautiful as the day we’re having here in PA!

June 6th, 2009 at 5:00 pmI can remember a time back during papa’s reign when the old man got tangled up in pot warp. The press picture claimed he was doing “maintanence”
60 ralph the wonder locust Says:
I think “myspace whores” is anyone that spends a lot of time online, blogging or whatever. The reason I believe this is because wingnuts are not generally technically savvy when it comes to the Internet. Wingnuts have heard of myspace, and they assume that everyone that uses the Internet uses myspace.
The concept of being a whore in this context probably is indicative that you do something a lot. Thus a person that uses the Internet a lot is a “myspace whore” to a technologically ignorant wingnut.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:01 pmToo funny! Did you live in Kennebunkport? People ask me about how the locals down there treat the Bush’s being in their neighborhood and I always say what I’ve been told and that is: THE LOCALS CAN’T STAND THEM. In fact, when we were down there protesting during the summer of 2007, most of the neighbors to the Bush Compound came out of their homes to give up a high five & peace signs! Loved it.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:03 pmColbert is a brilliant wit and satirist — I try not to miss his program. I am sure the troops will love his act — will he be doing “better know a district” in Iraq? and interview a commander??
June 6th, 2009 at 5:05 pmSpencers Mom, sorry, no limo – a 10-year old Civic w/185,000+ miles on it, and a used Honda Odyssey we just bought recently.
But yes, it is a beautiful day – too bad I was up late helping to whack the troll infestation, so I slept through much of today. :(
June 6th, 2009 at 5:09 pmNEVER has Colbert said anything untoward about the troops – and I don’t expect he ever will.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:11 pmA troll who suggests that he engages in such talk is demonstrating that he neither watches Colbert, nor understands his schtick — and if he ever does happen to see a video clip, he surely doesn’t understand it.
I’ve noticed for a number of years now that repugs have no sense of humor, no appreciation of satire; remember when Colbert was invited to the press dinner because they didn’t realize he would “roast” them with their own words — repugs are clueless.

June 6th, 2009 at 5:13 pmSorry I can neither confirm nor deny but I can tell you what the prevailing local thoughts were…
Colbert has made a living mocking anything conservative. He doesn’t even support what the troops are doing. I really don’t think the troops want to hear his disgusting “jokes”. He and john stewart have been mocking what the troops stand for years.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:14 pmGL is a little full of himself wouldn’t you say?
June 6th, 2009 at 5:14 pmHi Jimmy Big Bucks
June 6th, 2009 at 5:17 pmWhat do those troops stand for in your opinion?
sscncturn64 Says at #54
YES.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:18 pmand what are they doing there?
June 6th, 2009 at 5:18 pmIt’s a cool and rainy day here — thanks everyone for providing some entertainment in smacking down the dumbest troll of the day in GL.

Marie, looks like you spoke too soon, we have a new contestant for “dumbest troll of the day” – everyone give a big welcome to…Jimmy Big Bucks!
June 6th, 2009 at 5:27 pmI like that — Jimmy Big Bucks.

HAHAHAHA! Yeah, the best humor always involves stereotypes, infantile profanity and especially bloody violence, doesn’t it, Go.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:32 pmDo we have one troll using a couple of different names today?
June 6th, 2009 at 5:39 pmCould there be more than one person so stupid and obnoxious.
Does the sockpuppet really think the USO would schedule someone who had mocked our troops to entertain said troops?
June 6th, 2009 at 5:51 pmJimmy Big Bucks Says:
Colbert does not support what the troops are doing? Perhaps you could provide some evidence for this claim.
You don’t think the troops want to hear his jokes? Perhaps you could provide evidence to support this.
You think Colbert’s jokes are disgusting? Perhaps you could provide some evidence of a disgusting joke he has done.
You think Colbert has been mocking the troops for years? Perhaps you could provide years worth of evidence for this alleged mocking of the troops?
We will wait.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:51 pmColbert mocks people who support the war. The troops support the war and are giving their lives for it. Colbert is a liberal shitbag of the highest degree. I don’t mind most liberals personally, I’m usually nice to them and helpful, but people who make a living off making fun of good Americans are disgusting.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:00 pmI agree. People who mock good Americans are disgusting. That’s why I despise, Lush, Bill0, Hannitty, Becky, and all the other disgusting freaks on FAUX and Reichradio.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:05 pmColbert mocks people who support the war? I don’t see any evidence of that. Perhaps you can provide some links to support your claim.
The troops support the war? I don’t believe you can speak for all the troops, but I can say unequivocally that ALL the troops most certainly do NOT support the war. Welcome to reality.
There is nothing more disgusting than a fascist republican wingnut.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:06 pmLevi, I suspect it will be a long wait.
I think this sockpuppet gets an award for “most wishful thinking screen name” though.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:10 pmThe trolls are so funny today! When they’re not being sick racists…
June 6th, 2009 at 6:16 pmJimmy Big Bucks:
June 6th, 2009 at 6:22 pmWhich war are you speaking of and why do you support it if you do?
oh my… hey, guys, no thanks for letting that #7 stand…
sorry azz little creep.
June 6th, 2009 at 7:15 pmHmmmm. Maybe Jimmy BB enjoys comics who make fun of people with Parkinsons and of autistic children…
That would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?
June 6th, 2009 at 7:16 pmKaty is right! What gives?

Death threat? Nope. The troops have little tolerance for a little dweeb who mocks their efforts at every turn.
On those rare occasions that the targets of satire figure out they’re being roasted, they really get their feathers ruffled, huh, GoLiberty?
Colbert has never mocked the troops; he satirizes those in positions of power who use the troops to fill their sick agendas.
I well imagine the troops will be thrilled to have him visit and share in the absurd.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:06 pmIt’s really funny when chickenhawks claim to care about the troops.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:09 pmhuh.
didja catch this:
“Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando”
is sponsored by Burger King.
not the memphis branch… or, may BE!
June 6th, 2009 at 8:11 pmFABulous!

Speaking of the USO. My Dad and uncles who served in WW2 all had stories of USO comedians who kept their audiences in stitches by “mocking” their commanders. I also seem to recall that FDR gave Bob Hope explicit consent to make fun of him. It seems that troops in harms way get a moral boost from laughing at those who put them in harms way.

wrong!! – Colbert often voices his support on his show for DonorsChoose.org which helps raise money for the kids of the troops serving abroad
June 6th, 2009 at 9:10 pmIt’s summer and we have an infestation of young teen trolls. This one is a malicious troll. It’s very young, and its only intention is to get a rise out of people. It has no intellectual interest, and no vested interest in politics. In its little world it scores biggest when it makes the least effort to get a response and gets one. The more thoughtful the response, the bigger it scores because it’s not making any effort.
Here’s a profile from a study done at the University of Texas which I have highlighted
You see it don’t you? The expression “troll piss” is right on.
I’ve been wondering why, why, why. Clearly school is out for the summer.
Pity. We can see them actually getting dumber as they post, the decline is so marked.
Which explains a lot, including such gems as “MySpace whores”.
Anyone wanting to stereotype liberals has a plethora of sources—it’s the stuff of urban myth. So how a young troll comes up with this stuff is no mystery. It’s easy material for an activity that requires almost no effort on the part of the troll.
Why TP? I’m thinking TP gets the infestations we’ve been getting lately, not because of our political content, but because of low moderation.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:13 pmkaty,
thanks for the twitter page! Funny stuff. I forwarded it on, and bookmarked the donation link.
I’ve never “twittered” so I have to look into it. Some Lib I am…

Funny. I’ve had spoofs of songs about trolls going through my head, too.
I can’t believe the trolls today…

You’re the kind of person you meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you’ve tried you just can’t hide your eyes are edged with tears.
You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,
Here it comes. Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.
When you were a child you were treated kind
But you were never brought up right.
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night.
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax.
And your father’s still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.
You better stop, look around, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes,
Here it comes. Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown.

This is true. He does an excellent job of it.

Jimmy Big Bucks Says:
Colbert mocks people who support the war. The troops support the war and are giving their lives for it.
Many of the troops don’t support what they’re doing, but they do it nonetheless, as is their duty. There’s a significant difference between respecting soldiers and respecting the mission they were given. You don’t seem to understand this, so I’ll try to break it down philosophically for you:
1. In signing up for the military, soldiers hand over (most of) their personal moral agency to the Commander in Chief. That is to say, he can order them to kill people and they have to do so. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect and peaceful world, so it is necessary that we have people who are willing to do this.
2. Essentially, the Commander in Chief carries all of the moral agency for all of the people who have sworn to take orders from him. Thus, if he uses it for good, then he deserves thousands of times the praise of an individual; if he uses it for evil, then he deserves thousands of times the scorn. However, such praise or scorn does not fall on the soldiers themselves, as they have transferred (most of) their personal moral agency to the Commander in Chief.
3. Ordering the troops to go to war (to kill and risk being killed) is an evil act if the war serves no purpose in protecting the U.S. and/or if the stated causes of the war are lies. Bush did this.
4. Because of Bush’s choice, not only have many Iraqis been needlessly slaughtered, but many soldiers have needlessly died as well. Many more have needlessly been forced to kill others, which is something they’ll have to deal with all their lives. Many more have been needlessly maimed or otherwise harmed (PTSD, Gulf War Syndrome, etc). All of them will ultimately have to deal with the fact that due to Bush’s choice they committed acts of war for no good reason. No matter how much propoganda the right spews, a good reverse-justification for Iraq will never surface. It would be one thing if they could come home knowing that they had done what was necessary to protect the U.S. But it’s a horrible thing for them to have to deal with doing such things for no other reason than because Bush felt like making them do it.
5. Opposing sending our troops to prosecute an unjust war constitutes supporting our troops in that we condemn forcing them to suffer the consequences of war needlessly.
Why do you hate U.S. soldiers?
June 7th, 2009 at 5:44 amSaw this on Colbert’s Twitter page:
Colbert routinely uses his platform to push a number of charities and service organizations, many of them having to do with supporting soldiers overseas and veterans at home.
I have seen none of the chickenhawks doing anything similar, or at least not so often.
June 7th, 2009 at 5:48 amI’m sure the troops in Iraq will appreciate some humor, and seeing someone from the media (tongue in cheek as it is) paying them some attention. Has the MSM forgotten about them? I don’t have television reception, and wouldn’t watch it if I did, but from glancing at Reuters, it appears that there isn’t much news coverage of Iraq these days.
June 7th, 2009 at 7:58 amMaybe Limbaugh can visit Iraq and tell our troops how much he wants their commander in chief to fail.
June 7th, 2009 at 8:13 amWiley @ #169, I think you’re right. Schools out and these kids were left behind.
June 7th, 2009 at 8:28 amColbert shows what those people who claim to be conservatives are all about. In many cases he is pointing out how non-conservative the actions of these people are, and exposes those lame excuses for the lies that they are.
One example if that conservatives would never be in favor of no-bid contracts that ensure we will spend a lot more in return for a lot less than if there was actual competition.
Colbert points out the irony or hypocrisy of a Republican party that claims to be conservative while doing very non-conservative things. He also points out when Democrats are being less than truthful.
Eventually Americans will learn that those labeled “progressive” in the media are actually all that is left of the watchdog media.
The only side they take is that of the facts and how these facts deny or confer justice to the most of us.

unfortunately, they probably hear it, as the slug is on armed forces radio – and i don’t think his bullshit is balanced with a truth teller… franken tried, but he’s no longer on the air…
maybe limpbone’s show is edited somehow… i’m not sure…
June 7th, 2009 at 10:34 amYour right, we should not rely on the internet, internet is only a media, but I think while you are writing this article your mind is not in peace… I knew from reading every word you wrote.
