When you point your finger at someone, you got four pointing back at ya, so Colbert is a retard X's four. I have never watched his show, but I understand he isn't that funny.

[Deez]

This is what its come down to. Elementary schoolyard bullying--call someone enough mean names and hope they run away crying.

[The REAL Bob]

Just shows you can put a business suit on a monkey, but he's still a monkey.

[Elric66]

You dont agree with him Deez???????????

[drjohn]

I have a nephew who is a "retard."

Sarah Palin has brought out the best in the left- all their class, all their integrity.

No one could have done better than Palin at this.

Kudos to her.

[`Greg]

I am amazed that people like this colbert turd can actually find a public venue in which to express themselves. An HE'S calling someone else a retard?
Hey colbert, how much bear-grease do you use on that hair of yours?

[Texmom]

That's just sad. What is just as despicable is how they continue to talk about her huge speaking fee with no mention of her giving it back. Their constant lying and ommission makes me more furious than anything, and it works. I know many people who depise Palin and think she is the most ignorant person on Earth because they believe all of this stuff.

[Daryl]

Wouldn't be great if Palin's old man knock the shit out of this dick head at some public event?

[brain trust]

Goes to show that if a moron on a television show, that doesn't have any viewers, makes an idiotic remark he does make a sound. Does this mean that if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to see it, it too makes a sound?

[that guy]

We're making the same mistake we make with John Stewart: this guy is a fucking comedian. Pay no attention to him, for if you do this much he will not be legitimatized by you wasting your time on him. He's doing it for laughs and shock value from a predominately left leaning audience; it doesn't matter if he means it or not.

[Notyourfriend]

I find it hilarious how you people don't get the joke behind it, and threaten physical violence while condemning the use of a simple word that was not meant to hurt people with disabilities.
YOU are clearly the real comedians here! Thank you for the chuckle. :D

[Nobody]

I love the irony in the fact half of you are responding with "no, HES the retard..."

It makes sense that you people ignore how dumb Mrs. Palin is...she makes you feel smarter.

[Hoosier Momma]

"I love the irony in the fact half of you are responding with "no, HES the retard..."

It makes sense that you people ignore how dumb Mrs. Palin is...she makes you feel smarter."

You signed your comment with "Posted by: Nobody"

At least you got that part right.

[JK248]

Dont you guys get it......... It'sss satire hahahahahahahahahaha. sarah palin is a fucking retard. fuck her and fuck rush L.

[Adam]

Actually Elric66, you are a "retard." By placing the word "retard" in quotation marks you are implying it shares a definition with the word Stephen Colbert used. If this is true it means you are calling your own nephew a jackass. On the other hand if you meant he was mentally handicapped you would be saying he was retarded or was a retard, but the quotation marks would not be necessary. However, since I assume he shares your genes I'll then assume you were referring to your nephew as a "retard" (jackass), which really isn't a nice name to call your own flesh and blood. You should probably go pray if you aren't already.
Daryl, you and your exploration of philosophical perception are both a "retard" and "retarded", respectively. I would have said, "Goes to show that if a moron on a television show, that has at least one viewer (namely Daryl), makes an idiotic remark he does make a sound." But I guess at that point it is just a statement, and not nearly as philosophical nor as clever as you probably originally thought.

[Adam]

My apologies to Elric66 and to Daryl. Though you are both very much still "retards" my comments were directed at drjohn and brain trust. And yes, my clear inability to distinguish authorship in an alternating color coded forum does make me a "retard."

[Elric66]

Just like to see some of these libs actually give some kind of evidence that she is extremely stupid.

[Dave]

If your aren't funny, subsitute for it by being rude and gross.

No wonder America's in the
dumpster with this sort as it's "top" talent.

[DavidJ]

You are a fucking moron Adam. Despite your attempt to seem super intelligent you can't quite work out how the blog presents each post.

It was not Elric referring to his nephew,yet I wont tell you who it was. So but go back and have another read. Oh,and fuck off!

[Adam]

You don't think that a politician who attends a tea party should already be fairly mentally prepared for what they intend to talk about?

I took this from U.S. News and World Report's website:

"The former vice presidential nominee, who has previously criticized President Obama
for his use of teleprompters when speaking, is now under scrutiny for scribbling talking points that many think she should know well already."

That should just about sum it up. Case closed. She's an idiot - accept it.

[Adam]

DavidJ - vocabulary is not indicative of super intelligence. You're scared of descriptive words and sentence structure. You are a "retard." The distinction should be becoming painfully clear.

By the way, not telling me who it was still doesn't make it much of a mystery does it?

[Adam]

I know that I don't need to explain this to the few people out there that understand comedy, but Stephen Colbert only had something to talk about because Sarah Palin said Rahm Emanuel should resign and Rush Limbaugh was excused for being a satirist. If you believe the word retard should not be used because it is a hate word then you should believe it should not be used by anyone. If you believe it is not a big deal because they are only words and are protected by the Bill of Rights then you shouldn't care who uses it. Saying one instance applies for one person and not the other, regardless of your political affiliation, makes you a hypocrite. Herein lies the comedy.

[Elric66]

"That should just about sum it up. Case closed. She's an idiot - accept it."

Really? A few words written on her hand equals him carrying wound his teleprompter everywhere he goes? That idiotic case you made is as closed as the case for "global warming".

[Jeff Jefferson]

Yep, She's retarded, and you libs are afraid of her, so what does that say about you.

[Adam]

Using a teleprompter is associated with being a public figure who makes speeches, like I don't know... say... the President of the United States. It's modern technology that prevents people from needing to write notes to ourselves on our hands should we find ourselves in the position of having to give a speech. Criticizing it or its use is as good as criticizing every practical invention our time.Idiots like you misinterpret scientific findings and assume that means they're saying the case for "global warming" is closed. Not to detract to much along you little tangent, but if you've been reading the news for the past couple months you'd know that the case for anthropogenic(Greek for man-made)global warming has taken a pretty severe hit. The knowledge is right at your finger tips and it is accessible to all, even you.

[Buzz D.]

Well we let "Adam" bot the comments. Ignore this quite visable plant. He must be a nobody, prolly got kicked out of Kos and Huffingcrunt. Liberals lie, babies die.

[Elric66]

Adam,

So you are saying its ok to use a teleprompter so you dont have to remember a damn thing but one is an idiot for writing a few words on her hand to keep her on track as she recites a speech basically from memory?

[Adam]

I'm done guys. That was enough laughs for one day. If your teleprompter has 3 phrases that are your party's entire political basis then yes, you are an idiot. If you cannot see the difference then you are also an idiot, and probably a fan of Sarah Palin. Also, as a final fright to you lib bashers, I am a republican in ideology, and it doesn't mean I have to think Sarah Palin is a genius.

[whthfk2]

One day I will run into Colbert in Charleston SC and have a little talk with his attacking a girl. Prick.

[Elric66]

I guess Adam couldnt hack it. Just like all liberal drones.

[Elric66]

"I am a republican in ideology"

RINO maybe
"

and it doesn't mean I have to think Sarah Palin is a genius."

No one said you had to jackass.

[Jon]

I've read all the comments and I can honestly say that you Palin lovers are ACTUALLY too stupid to get why Colbert called her a Fucking Retard. I feel bad for all the regular repulicans out there, because you right wing nuts just make them looking like.......... wait for it.........its coming..........................Fucking Retards.

O and nobody is SCARED of Palin, they just imagine what would happen to this country if that dipshit became president.... repulicans are on a ROLL!

[Elric66]

"they just imagine what would happen to this country if that dipshit became president."

Tell us Jon, what would happen.

[Jon]

Okay lets see where we can take this one. Well first off everyone would throw education out the window, start talking all cute-like about the changy-thingy and what have you. Just listening to her talk brings down IQ Im pretty sure. Second, countries abroad would just COMPLETELY give up hope in us. First we elected bush......twice and got away from that for a while and all of a sudden, we have another idiot in charge (Palin). If Palin became president I think even American's would give up on America, it would also show that anyone could become president.

[myrtle]

Jon - I think we already know that anyone can become president. After all, look what we've got now. An empty suite who was elected on a slogan (Hope and Change) with a boost from afirmative action. How very sad that this president cannot speak to SCHOOL CHILDREN without TOTUS.

PS - don't go away mad......just go away.

[Jon]

Explain this.... because you're obviously a "genius" Let's hear how we have an empty SUIT? Yeah google helps sometimes when you are not intelligent enough to spell, but claim to understand what someone needs in order to run a country. You watch a little too much Fox News myrtle, try doing something with your life... that might change your views.

[Jon]

O and make sure its something that republicans HAVENT blocked.... please... take your time.

[Kevin]

We all know Palin's not exactly a deep thinker. Shouldn't it be obvious the use of the word retard is unacceptable in public. Instead, she tries to rationalize its use by the biggest bully in politics saying it's OK when used by political satirists. Under any definition Colbert is a political satirists, smartly making fun of Limbaugh, Beck and other. Sorry, folks! Colbert knows how to play the game and just aced Palin and all of you!!!

[Jon]

Well said Kevin....well said

[Elric66]

I guess Jon didnt have anything concrete. Why would education be "thrown out the window"? As for other countries "giving up on us". Thats funny since foreign leaders avoided Obama at Copenhagen.

"If Palin became president I think even American's would give up on America, it would also show that anyone could become president."

Thats hilarious. They would elect her then give up. God, you are a friggin moron.

[Elric66]

"We all know Palin's not exactly a deep thinker."

I bet she knows that there are 50 states and Austrian isnt a language.

[Dildude]

You "understand he isn't funny"? Did you hear that from one of the millions who watch his show regularly? Or was it the Emmy, Grammy, and Peabody awards that tipped you off this guy doesn't have the comedy or satire chops? First of all, he's hilarious. Yes, that's my opinion, but he also is kind of a very successful COMEDIAN. Secondly, he's pegging Palin for letting Rush off the hook for using 'retard', even though he clearly used it the same way the condemned Emanuel did. And he does it by making fun of her. She provides plenty of opportunities to do so.

[Elric66]

"I think even American's would give up on America, it would also show that anyone could become president."

Like al-Thuggy? A moron thats so stupid he has his grades sealed. A guy that cant take responsibility for anything.

[Independentview]

I didnt vote for Obama but let me ask those who LOVE PALIN, so you really believe she is intelligent enough to become President? Honestly?
I mean nothing against the Lady but although when asked about her Foreign politics experience she mentioned her closeness to Russia, really? She make Bush look like an intelligent college Professor.
and what's the deal with some people against intelligence? would you want someone who is not smart enough to be your doctor? or teaching your kids?

[Elric66]

"I didnt vote for Obama but let me ask those who LOVE PALIN, so you really believe she is intelligent enough to become President? Honestly?"

Yes

"I mean nothing against the Lady but although when asked about her Foreign politics experience she mentioned her closeness to Russia, really?"

That was Tina Fey

"and what's the deal with some people against intelligence? would you want someone who is not smart enough to be your doctor? or teaching your kids?"

Its not against intelligence, its about friggin socialist morons who think they know more whats right for me than I do. We like intelligence, just not elitist assholes who seal their grades.

[Jon]

"Thats hilarious. They would elect her then give up. God, you are a friggin moron."

Elric66- You make it pretty obviously you are a fan of Palin...typical fan; close-minded, bias, and whats the other thing Im looking for??? o and a fucking retard. I was simply talking about IF....because there will never be a when. If somehow she managed to make it all the Intelligent people in America would be like, "Fuck it" I am willing to bet you have never lived anywhere further than...o I would guess.... 50 miles of where you were born and raised.

[Kevin]

Elric66: I guess if "avoiding Obama at Copenhagen" means Being asked for autographs and publicity photos like he was a celebrity, yours is a valid point. Granted autographs and publicity photos isn't exactly like the George Bush shunning popularity after the "loosen up Angie baby" shoulder massage, but it's a start.

[Elric66]

"typical fan; close-minded, bias, and whats the other thing Im looking for??? o and a fucking retard."

Sounds more like a progressive drone

"because there will never be a when."

It will be anyone but al-Thuggy. I am even willing to bet he will be primaried out by another demomarxist.

"I am willing to bet you have never lived anywhere further than...o I would guess.... 50 miles of where you were born and raised."

well you lose that bet moron. Actually lived a few years in Eurabia and a year in Korea. But you are a typical close minded progressive drone.

[Kevin]

Elric66: Since your "hypocritical" radar seems to be out of calibration I'd like to help you a bit. You comment on your perceived avoidance of Obama at Copenhagen, but seem to support a party that spent the last six years of the GWB administration, after frittering away the world's support post-9/11, that US policy will not be dictated by its popularity overseas, ridiculed the French, had members of it's government indicted in other countries for war crime, etc., seems a bit disingenuous.

[Elric66]

"You comment on your perceived avoidance of Obama at Copenhagen"

Wasnt perceived, it happened. The world got their hapless American "president", no need to prop him up now.
