People are asking that his show be canceled because of this. As much as I'd like to see Colbert's face dispensary from daily television, this "campaign" against him is ridiculous. HE'S A -blam!-ING COMEDIAN.
-blam!- political correctness and its stupid -blam!-ing followers.
-
Colbert is awesome!
-
Funny thing, he doesn't run that account. Comedy Central does, they made that tweet.
-
People are such little bitches. Who the hell cares? It's like if people were rioting over the content of Chappelles Show back in the day, but everybody loved that show.
-
I have mixed feeling about Colbert I understand hypocritical comedy can be funny. But when it is the basis of your career, it gets pretty old
-
Its satire, he is mocking racists and racism. Its dark, satirical humor on a comedy show and your surprised?
-
If you were to read this out of context(which I'm sure you did) it wouldn't be so offensive. By the way, that's the semi-racist conservative persona he plays on the show....

1 RespuestaI think everyone is forgetting that his character of Stephen Colbert is this semi-racist conservative.

The right wing will defend homophobic Phil Robertson to the death, but they will not stand for a comedian who satirizes racist behavior. It's plain and simple hypocrisy.

[url=http://jezebel.com/what-we-can-learn-from-the-embarrassing-cancelcolbert-1553680450]This article pretty much sums up my feelings about this.[/url] [quote]The Colbert Report isn't going to get cancelled because one time some people on Twitter got mad, guys. It would be an idiotic move for the network, because the network is part of a company that is ultimately trying to make money. Colbert's show is good at making money; it's popular among a demographic that advertisers want to reach, and thus Comedy Central can charge a lot of money to those advertisers who want to reach the show's viewers. It is also good at winning awards, which lends prestige to a network, which is something that many networks enjoy a great deal. Another thing: Comedy Central is the network that pays Daniel Tosh millions of dollars a year to stand around giggling at YouTube videos. Daniel Tosh is a man in his late 30's who wears a hoodie to work. Daniel Tosh still has a job after telling a woman who heckled him that it would be hilarious if she got -blam!-. Colbert ain't going anywhere. This isn't to say that fights against perceived racism or injustice should only be fought if they're guaranteed to succeed. But, you know, is this the hill you want to die on? Trying to get a guy who owned the shit out of President George W. Bush at the White House Correspondents' Dinner fired from a 9-year-long Emmy-winning show because you don't understand how TV show Twitter accounts work? Good luck.[/quote]

ever seen tosh.o?

Right. Well, lets just ban all comedians that offend even a single person. Comedians left after this movement: Zero.
-
Political correctness will be the death of comedy.
-
Stephen Colberts awesome tho
-
Political correctness and social justice is ruining so many things.
-
Never have found him funny, honestly. Probably because I don't really find too many American comedians that funny. There are some absolutely fantastic ones, however. :-)

7 RespuestasIt's a pretty shit joke though.

but colbert is teh <3

1 RespuestaDo these people not know what satire is?
-
7 RespuestasWhat's with people pretending they don't make/laugh at racist humor? It's like guys that say they don't jerk it or black guys that say they didn't do it.
-
They shouldn't stop his show because of a good joke
-
But Colbert is funny...
-
Colbert is hilarious and anyone who "hates" him is to dumb to appreciate his comedy. Also, the joke was taken way out of context, so unless you actually watched it happen in the show, please shut the f#ck up.

24 Respuestas[quote]HE'S A -blam!-ING COMEDIAN.[/quote] Also white, which i am assuming you are if you can't understand how this crosses the line. If he put the N word everywhere all the black people would be clearly offended and asking the same. You can't joke a racist stance with another racist joke. Though i am not asian, I don't think they like seeing "ching chong" anything nor do they find it funny.

I'll take Satire for $500. A comedian who uses witty social criticism in a humorous matter to bring up problems that are apparent, or not so apparent, in a society that needs to be fixed. Who is Stephen Colbert?

>hating Colbert Also this isn't the first time people have taken him seriously, and it won't be the last.
