that religions should hate liberals.

3. Thanks for the welcome CC. This has become
my "go to" place for news and to be surrounded by like-minded people.

4. That guy's fuckin' nuts! What's with his fuckin ruler! What a tool!
Did you see the segment where Colbert busted the morning "news" shows for taking the Wexler interview seriously. Everyone should see it!

8. Yeah, the following two paragraphs pretty much tell me
what I need to know about this jerk.

"Who really cares what Hollywood thinks? All these hacks come out there. Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It's not a secret, okay? And I'm not afraid to say it. <...> Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism."

"Well, first they said was anti-Semitic. That didn't work. Then they said it was too violent. That didn't work. Then they said it was S&M. That didn't work. Then they said it was pornography. That didn't work. Now they're saying it's fascistic queer-bashing. That kind of language would ordinarily get somebody taken away in a straitjacket and -- put you in the asylum. I don't know what about -- the queer-bashing is all about. I'm pretty good about picking out who queers are and I didn't see any in the movie. I'm usually pretty good at that." William Donohue

7. He is a RW whack job. He has been around for a long time.
He heads the Catholic League and is an embarrassment for moderate and liberal Catholics.

Colbert is also Catholic which is why he could speak the guys language.

10. I'm wondering
do these whackjobs even know that Colbert's show is a satire? Luckily they don't and Stephen playing this RWing character only helps to expose their distorted world views as they feel comfortable to openly speak with encouragment to say their worst views.
