I didn't expect it in the first place. Liberals are the type to just stick their head in the sand rather than change.

Because it is almost always their fault.

Also if someone on late night broadcast had made this comment about Obama they would have been instantly black balled from TV.

So either tell the liberals to fuck off with their PC shit, or hold them to the same standards. It is that fucking simple.

It's kinda sad how the conservatives here blame liberals for their behavior. It's almost like they have nothing to live for if they can't oppose something for the sake of opposition.

Colbert had to publicly say he regretted the statement involving male genitalia and reaffirmed his leftist followers that he is all for gay rights and the freedom to love whoever.

And given that the FCC is an independent government organization (like the SEC or CIA)---it's hard to understand how some libs in this topic are pretending there is mass conservative outrage (and Trump intervention) over Colbert trashing Trump. Colbert didn't do anything new or unique.

In my perspective, it was sort of personally entertaining. It's clear he's still sobbing into his whisky glass he had during his "election special" where he was literally tearing up over Hillary's loss.

Because most conservative hosts would have focused on his skin colour, where he might have been born or suggested he supports ISIS.

Apples and oranges dude. You're comparing a hypothetical situation regarding the free market to a government sanctioned investigation. Not even close to the same thing.

Why don't you stop speaking in hypotheticals and start talking on what actually happened?

The fact is, some people did attribute any criticism toward Obama as someone being racist. But Obama never blatantly insulted people enough to warrant a rant like this. Donald has.

And Donald's platform was that he tells it like it is and he's doing away with the PC culture, making this complaint fucking ironic too.

I considered myself a liberal, but I gotta say, I agree with the point that those like me don't have the right to get mad if Colbert get's shit canned over this. In this situation, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

That being said, I don't personally think Colbert should be excommunicated for this joke, much like I don't think a lot of conservatives should have had the backlash they had due to what was said...

Blah blah blah free speech, comedian, grow thicker skin, blah blah blah.

I do find it stupid how the government regulates TV, and radio for "bad" words and nudity. Plus this is after the watershed hours, also swearing is bleeped out on TV and radio.

They regulate public broadcast media because they own the means of broadcasting it.

If a comedian said the exact same thing about Obama, or another Democrat, there would be massive outrage from the left.

Colbert crossed a line, but since so many people have hate boners for Trump (especially in the media) I doubt he will apologize for saying something so offensive.

Personally, I don't give a shit about what he said, but a fine from the FCC seems likely.
