Colbert should thank President Trump..........he was going down hill before the election. Used to watch him only because I found his delivery odd, but interesting. Often brought up his Catholic faith. After that disgusting tirade I hope he stopped by the confessional. If any late night host had said anything similar about President Obama, the pink slip would have been waiting when he walked off stage. He really sunk into the gutter, along with anyone who thought his rant funny.

I may have been offended 2 years ago however since DJ Trump began is campaign, I've got a different point of view. I keep seeing people who are upset because celebrities are availing themselves of their constitutional rights and they feel the celebrities are being rude and disrespectful. Conservatives say that the reason the youth of today are so disrespectful and out of control is because of what the Liberal media puts on TV. I see people saying that if President Obama had been treated by Conservatives the way Liberals are treating Trump the "Libtard Snowflakes" would have been throwing tantrums. Number 1: Conservatives did treat President Obama and his family including minor children to many offensive things. Number 2 and most important: President Obama never did or said anything as remotely offensive as Trump. So here's the way to figure out if you should be offered by Colbert's monologue.
If you defended and then voted for Trump after he made fun of a disabled reporter, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose one supporter, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and voted for Trump after he told people at his rallies that he would pay their legal bills if they were arrested for beating up protesters, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after it was proven that he defrauded the "students" of Trump "university", you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after the lies he told about President Obama regarding his birth certificate, you shouldn't be offended! If you were okay with people making racist remarks about the Obama family, you shouldn't be offended!
Maybe you should be more offended with the fact that the person who represents the USA on the world stage and continues to say he's going to Make America Great Again, and his administration have proven that they aren't capable of accepting responsibility for their words or actions. They deflect and use alternative facts or as most people say LIES!

I absolutely adore Colbert and credit him with keeping me sane since the election. I want him to continue skewering Trump because he (Trump) is the biggest threat to US since WWII. Colbert is most effective when he does not sink close to Trump, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and all the other misogynistic, homophobic, racist, rotten human beings out there. Stay shy of the "cock holster" type comments in the future please.

Stephen Colbert should be applauded and not censured for his remarks! We are dealing with a Russian controlled narcissistic baby for a president. This orange windbag is a conniving loud mouthed grifter who is using his office to line his pockets. There is corruption and nepotism in his administration and we should not let him run roughshod over everything in which we believe!! People like olberr are necessary to satirize and show how abnormal this behavior is! Also, all presidents have had comedians poking fun at them and saying nasty things.

It's wonderful that Stephen Colbert spoke out, essentially saying what the MAJORITY of US citizens believe about Trump and Putin. While crude, Colbert's comment wasn't homophobic in the least. The Right cannot claim any sort of outrage while it wreaks havoc on the real victims here - the US citizenry. As long as Trump, his family, and his bogus administration occupy space in DC, they threaten our welfare and the welfare of citizens everywhere.

Yeah Steven, my hero! Thank you for the jokes that keep real patriots sane during one of our Nation's greatest tragedies, like the JFK assassination, OK bombing, 9/11, and now a fake President owned by a Russian dictator, who is trashing our Democracy at every turn! This country is facing the dark night of her soul. May God have our backs as we the people (with a little help from media friends like Colbert and others) resist not only Trumpty Dumpty, who I can't wait for his big bigger biggest fall from his wall, but the whole dang gang, the Rethuglicon leadership, who have devolved into a greedy self-serving mean-spirited sociopathic cult.
Hey CBS... I've always had a soft place in my heart for you since my Daddy was a Broadcast Engineer for a CBS affiliate for decades starting in the late 40s! He was very loyal to CBS and so am I, although I'm still a bit angry about you pulling one of the funniest sitcoms from the air - Mike & Molly, while keeping one of the most hideous and truly vulgar sitcoms ever - 2 Broke Girls. You take my Colbert from me, you've lost a lifelong fan.
Go Steven, keep up the good work of speaking truth to power while relieving my stress with laughter all at the same time! Your fans are behind you and the rightwing can shove their hypocrisy up which ever hole it fits best!!

Hell no, Stephen Colbert should not be fired. What he said was spot on. The hypocrisy of these Trump supporters are asinine at best.

But Colbert gives the President a taste of his own medicine, they lose their shit. Just like all those years they bashed Obama, but we should show their beloved "Savior", Trump, the proper respect he "deserves". Really?

Politics has been disgusting and full of manipulation forever. It's NO different now. If anything it's undeniable. Having a twisted obviously inexperienced idiot representing America in the whitehouse seals the deal. These A-holes have been building this moronic following of ?americans? by coming up with more and more BS that apparently close to half of these Americans have nothing to base their dissent upon except fake news! They've been swallowing this crap forever and now they believe it. They even believe the dems are somehow the culprits now. The republicans have control of everything now and all they do -as usual-is fumble f*** around picking out useless turd based noise to throw around. I will say Dump has certainly made the poop in Washington float to the top of the swamp so everyone can see it.

After all of the disgusting things that 45 has said and done, and no one has removed him from the campaign or the presidency, it seems an over reaction to expect an entertainer who's modus is satire and humor should be removed from his position. You can't have it both ways. Outrage should have been over 45. The position of president requires decorum and dignity, only two of the many qualities 45 lacks.

That CBS would even consider taking action against Colbert for one comment is unbelievable. How many years did O'Reilly, Ailes, and others at Fox harass women with impunity? Our foul-mouthed president knows no bounds verbally or physically against others. No, the supporters of this filthy president and his greedy dishonest minions have no right to complain about their hurt feelings. Hypocrites whose outrage is absurd, and I want no more of them demanding that their petty whines direct our lives.
Leave Colbert alone, CBS. He's making you lots of money. More importantly, he's one of the precious barriers protecting us all from the creep-in-chief in Washington. He's doing a great job. And besides all that, he gives us the great gift of laughter.

The words may have been a bit "over the top", but the sentiment remains - the Orange Twittler is merely reaping what he sewed...vile, ugly words came out of his mouth long before Colbert started his rants.

Am I upset that Stephen Colbert was not fired from CBS? Absolutely not! I AM upset that this has even become an issue. Yes! So, Trumpsters were not turned off or insulted by the vile "grab em by the . . . " comment, or the steady stream of blatant lies spewing out of our so-called president's mouth, for which no remorse or apology has ever been expressed, but they found a line in a monologue uttered by a comedy host, who later admitted that he may have gone too far, was cause for dismissal? Really?? Well, I'll tell you what, if the same rules applied, and Trump got fired, I would bet that Colbert would happily give up his spot on CBS in exchange and become a national hero!! God gawd! Why am I even wasting my time here. There is no rational way to reach Trump supporters. Like Trump said, "He loves the uneducated."

Colbert's joke wasn't homophobic. It wasn't about or directed at homosexuals. It was about trump's too cozy relationship with putin and it was to say that putin has the power in the relationship.
Any conservative saying the joke was homophobic obviously doesn't understand the concept of homophobia. If they did, they'd realize the satirical joke was about getting help by putin to win the election and being indebted to him.

You people are such hypocrites. Colbert stated he maybe should not have said it as crudely, but yea he would say it again. As for it being homophobic, lol, since when did any of his supporters give a rats ass about the LGBT community.? His comment had NOTHING to do with homophobia, NOTHING. What is truly sad is mainstream media allowing the President to lie every time he opens his mouth. THAT is upsetting. You fools think what Donald says is ok, Deface the Nation, fake news, etc..... but saying he is the c*** holster for Putin you have an issue with. lol But not Trumps lies, Trumps adulteries.

What is profane is what Trump is doing to our country. LOVE Colbert! Russian hackers are the ones, sent by Putin, who are commenting on this issue.
Colbert should thank President Trump..........he was going down hill before the election. Used to watch him only because I found his delivery odd, but interesting. Often brought up his Catholic faith. After that disgusting tirade I hope he stopped by the confessional. If any late night host had said anything similar about President Obama, the pink slip would have been waiting when he walked off stage. He really sunk into the gutter, along with anyone who thought his rant funny.
Never ever been a fan of late night television, however, I've found a new love - Stephen Colbert!! He has all of my support. Please censor the very rude president who is supposed to be seriously representing the interest of all Americans not the financial interests of his family.
I may have been offended 2 years ago however since DJ Trump began is campaign, I've got a different point of view. I keep seeing people who are upset because celebrities are availing themselves of their constitutional rights and they feel the celebrities are being rude and disrespectful. Conservatives say that the reason the youth of today are so disrespectful and out of control is because of what the Liberal media puts on TV. I see people saying that if President Obama had been treated by Conservatives the way Liberals are treating Trump the "Libtard Snowflakes" would have been throwing tantrums. Number 1: Conservatives did treat President Obama and his family including minor children to many offensive things. Number 2 and most important: President Obama never did or said anything as remotely offensive as Trump. So here's the way to figure out if you should be offered by Colbert's monologue.
If you defended and then voted for Trump after he made fun of a disabled reporter, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose one supporter, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and voted for Trump after he told people at his rallies that he would pay their legal bills if they were arrested for beating up protesters, you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after it was proven that he defrauded the "students" of Trump "university", you shouldn't be offended! If you defended and then voted for Trump after the lies he told about President Obama regarding his birth certificate, you shouldn't be offended! If you were okay with people making racist remarks about the Obama family, you shouldn't be offended!
Maybe you should be more offended with the fact that the person who represents the USA on the world stage and continues to say he's going to Make America Great Again, and his administration have proven that they aren't capable of accepting responsibility for their words or actions. They deflect and use alternative facts or as most people say LIES!
My reply to a petition I just received:
Oh brother ... since when has everybody become so sensitive? With all the horrible things going on with our country, the world ... this is offensive?

Suck it up buttercup, sticks and stones ...

I absolutely adore Colbert and credit him with keeping me sane since the election. I want him to continue skewering Trump because he (Trump) is the biggest threat to US since WWII. Colbert is most effective when he does not sink close to Trump, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and all the other misogynistic, homophobic, racist, rotten human beings out there. Stay shy of the "cock holster" type comments in the future please.
I think he deserves an Emmy.
I'd be upset if he was!!!
Nope, in fact they should give him a raise for this! More people need to be calling him out for his ties to Russia and for "winning" the election only because of foreign intervention. I hope he and everyone in the media keep calling him out for his Russian ties. This cannot be allowed to pass!
Colbert is my hero.
If Trump can say the crap that he says -- as a representative of the people who voted for him -- Stephen Colbert can say anything he wants as MY representative.
Stephen Colbert should be applauded and not censured for his remarks! We are dealing with a Russian controlled narcissistic baby for a president. This orange windbag is a conniving loud mouthed grifter who is using his office to line his pockets. There is corruption and nepotism in his administration and we should not let him run roughshod over everything in which we believe!! People like olberr are necessary to satirize and show how abnormal this behavior is! Also, all presidents have had comedians poking fun at them and saying nasty things. He is president so his supporters should suck it up and live with it!!
Colburn is a nobody
His comments were rude but acceptable considering Trump's behavior.
ITMFA
I'm floored by all the WOMEN who support 45 and are screaming about Colbert. A comedian makes a crude, but TRUE joke and they're horrified, and yet totally disregard all the truly disgusting things 45 has said. Where is the outrage over that?! Can one of you deluded women please give me a sane and valid reason for that? You can't, can you?
Colburn is a nobody
Think you can be a little less biased? And Trump complains about biased media?
It's called free speech, every American's right. It's not like he claimed the president was not born in the US or a different religion than he is our anything....
Steve was doing his job, which is to be relevant and funny at the same time. In this segment he fulfilled his mandate, and then some by referencing a special sort of Man Date. It was hilarious.
He was referring to an actual asshole. Why be polite?
Whytrumpisgreat.com
I see nothing homophobic about the joke, it was sexual in nature, but calling it homophobic is a stretch. The only people I see complaining are from the right. It's free speech, it's late night, It was funny, it's satire, and let's leave it at that. Somehow conservatives are for political correctness but only when the jokes are about themlol thank God for democracy.
This poll is proof that 30% of y'all are cock holsters.
I guess the truth hurts lol! President Cock Holster. I love it!
I think Colbert calls it like it is. If the fans of Chump can't handle it...don't watch the show. Seems like Rush LImbaugh and all those other haters are allowed to get away with their bs. Suck it up! I think Colbert is hilarious and quite truthful. They can't handle the truth.
Silly right wing snowflakes... the 1st Amendment doesn't just apply to comments you disagree with. The last people in this country that should be claiming that this was homophobic and the republicant's
So no you people are against freedom of speech? And are in favor of forcing people to be politically correct? What a bunch of snowflakes you conservatives are.
I'd be outraged if Colbert WAS fired!
I'm upset that Donald Trump was elected, and hasn't been impeached yet!
And to Rita M. Winter in particular, Colbert's remarks were NOT "broadcast on live TV" - his show is taped 6 hours before it is first broadcast, and the "dirty" word was bleeped out.
It's wonderful that Stephen Colbert spoke out, essentially saying what the MAJORITY of US citizens believe about Trump and Putin. While crude, Colbert's comment wasn't homophobic in the least. The Right cannot claim any sort of outrage while it wreaks havoc on the real victims here - the US citizenry. As long as Trump, his family, and his bogus administration occupy space in DC, they threaten our welfare and the welfare of citizens everywhere.
Gee just like the presidential election ,,,the majority thnk Trump is an idiot and we need comedy to get us through the joke!!!!
CBS should have given him a raise!
It's ok when Fox news, Hannity, Limbaugh, et al, say vile things about women, people of color, the LBGTQ community, non-christian religions, immigrants, foreigners, the poor, the disabled, seniors... The Trumpkins, hardcore right wing, alt-right, fundamental "christians" eat that up and quote it like scripture. But Colbert crudely speaks out about the very real inappropriate relationship between 45 and Putin and suddenly everyone's ears are just too delicate for such language. The hypocrisy! Tell you what: show us how it's done. You quit being vile, racist, homophobic, misogynist douchebags and we'll follow your civilized lead.
I do not find that Colbert's comments homophobic they are not meant to hurt me or any other LGBTQ person they will hurt two fascist homophobic "dicktators" who cannot act in the best interest of the human race! Thank you Stephen! Love you Jeffrey "gay man from Canada". Keep up the fight! Fuck the right!
We are so grateful for Colbert. He sustains us and the satire helps explain the ignorance in the behavior and decisions from Trump and Republicans. Everyone should hear his commentary. He is truly brilliant and we share our total distaste for 45.
He didn't anything wrong. If conservatives are looking for retribution, there is a big difference between speaking your mind and a track record of sexual harrassment. If the former was a crime, O'Reilly would have fired before he ever began as his entire career was built upon speaking his mind.
If you've ever had the misfortune of watching a Rush Limbaugh rant about President Obama or his wife there's no comparison. At least Colbert was clever and funny. Being allowed to spew hateful rhetoric is a right. I guess it didnt matter then.
Trump's mouth IS Valdimer Putin's cock holster... What's the problem?
In no way should he be fired....he has said exactly what the majority of people think about our POTUS...FREE SPEECH AND OUR RIGHT!..
I'm upset Trump hasn't been impeached yet
well this poll backfired for you cry baby trumpettes didn't it? Don't worry, if you need a new job I'm quite sure Trump can give you tips on providing the best quality felatio for your betters. ITS GONNA BE REALLY BIG.
Stephen Colbert is just stating the truth and he shouldn't;t be punished. There are people that spewed horrible, racist, and lies! If the FCC want to punish anyone punish Trump, Spicer, Conway, & his administration and shut down Fox News! They are the ones that should be punished! #RESIST & Let the TRUTH be said!
Yeah Steven, my hero! Thank you for the jokes that keep real patriots sane during one of our Nation's greatest tragedies, like the JFK assassination, OK bombing, 9/11, and now a fake President owned by a Russian dictator, who is trashing our Democracy at every turn! This country is facing the dark night of her soul. May God have our backs as we the people (with a little help from media friends like Colbert and others) resist not only Trumpty Dumpty, who I can't wait for his big bigger biggest fall from his wall, but the whole dang gang, the Rethuglicon leadership, who have devolved into a greedy self-serving mean-spirited sociopathic cult.
Hey CBS... I've always had a soft place in my heart for you since my Daddy was a Broadcast Engineer for a CBS affiliate for decades starting in the late 40s! He was very loyal to CBS and so am I, although I'm still a bit angry about you pulling one of the funniest sitcoms from the air - Mike & Molly, while keeping one of the most hideous and truly vulgar sitcoms ever - 2 Broke Girls. You take my Colbert from me, you've lost a lifelong fan.
Go Steven, keep up the good work of speaking truth to power while relieving my stress with laughter all at the same time! Your fans are behind you and the rightwing can shove their hypocrisy up which ever hole it fits best!!
It was refreshing. I agree with many here. You see and hear much worse on TV and in movies. Why so incentive now. Trump has NOT earned the respect of that office. He is a joke of a human.
Hooray Colbert for saying what we are all thinking. It would be hypocritical to fire him.
Colbert has given millions a voice to protest the idiocy of this Presideny who cannot handle criticism. Case in point was his comments after the disasterous healthcare vote, "how am I doing? I'm the Presisent, I'm the President!" Brag, brsg, brsg, unluss it doesn't make him look grest, then it's fake news! Thank you Colbert for giving all of us who disagress with this pretend President, a voice!"
Up to that evening, I was not sure Stephen Colbert could fill David Letterman's shoes as the Late Night king. Now he earned it, he IS the new Late Night King. Someone had to place that sick liar we call president in its place and let him know that, when you insult someone (like Trump did), you are going to get hit back by an adult. Basic young boy training!
He should be given a medal for speaking up!!! If CBS punishes him, I will give up CBS altogether! I have already quit watching Criminal Minds, since they got rid of Thomas Gibson!
Colbert fan but think he went down into the swamp that is Trump. We need to elevate the discussion with clever insight not crudeness.
I loved it!!! Freedom of speech you 45 enthusiast didnt care when he spewed grab them by the pu***!! Get ovet it kerp the jokes coming Stephen!!!
I didn't know who Colbert was until this. That was hilarious, he should get a raise. I just started watching him after all the precious snowflakes whined about their hurt feelings. I suggest they all go to their safe place and hug themselves. Most Americans know this president as a complete failure and don't like him. He didn't come close to winning popular vote. Sad.
I loved the monologue, along with the cock holster joke. For those of you who think it was vulgar, grow the F up. Sex and body parts are promoted constantly in today's world. When a colorful joke is made, don't act like a bunch of virgins! Many of us have made similar comments about brown-nosing co-workers, so quit acting holier than thou.
Colbert is a comic genius. Appreciate him.
Trumpettes are a bunch of whiny snowflakes.
Republicans:
"Waaaah, Freedom of Speech! Don't censor us! We can say whatever we want you [insert insult here]. Waaaaaah."
Also Republicans:
"How dare him insult our God Emperor Trump? We want his job and his head! Crucify him!"
If you were not upset when Donald Trump said " grab them by the pvssy" and 'Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers', etc...but you get upset at a comedian's joke about your savior...then you are a fragile little snowflake....like the whining whining whining president who constantly whines that the media "is not fair to me"...what a friggin tender snowflake...Geesh.
Trump is a whiny little beeyotch, and anyone who still supports him is either inbred or brain dead. Go get 'em, Colbert. With you all the way!
Hell no, Stephen Colbert should not be fired. What he said was spot on. The hypocrisy of these Trump supporters are asinine at best. The times he mocked a disabled reporter, all the vile, racist comments he has made, the p**** grabbing incident, throwing a woman out of his campaign rally because her baby was crying, all that was no big deal. But Colbert gives the President a taste of his own medicine, they lose their shit. Just like all those years they bashed Obama, but we should show their beloved "Savior", Trump, the proper respect he "deserves". Really?
Politics has been disgusting and full of manipulation forever. It's NO different now. If anything it's undeniable. Having a twisted obviously inexperienced idiot representing America in the whitehouse seals the deal. These A-holes have been building this moronic following of ?americans? by coming up with more and more BS that apparently close to half of these Americans have nothing to base their dissent upon except fake news! They've been swallowing this crap forever and now they believe it. They even believe the dems are somehow the culprits now. The republicans have control of everything now and all they do -as usual-is fumble f*** around picking out useless turd based noise to throw around. I will say Dump has certainly made the poop in Washington float to the top of the swamp so everyone can see it. Cripes!! their only talking points ARE fake news and liberals That'll move us forward , right? People like Stephen Colbert CANNOT stop speaking truths in perspective. We need it!
Disappointed that so many whiny, snowflake republicans can't see the truth about the Orange one and are triggered so easily that they need their safe spaces. The comment wasn't homophobic, unlike the GOP, their policies and their base.
Our "president" and his worshippers got their widdle feelings hurt? Toughen up snowflakes!! There's more to come!!!
I'm thinking there are a lot of trolls in this comment section and most likely voted as well! I don't watch much television at all. That said I feel the comments were vulgar and obscene. Those equating the Billy Bush incident and these obscene comments are comparing apples to oranges. This was broadcast on live TV to thousands of people.
Grab them by the what?
The question is ... should Colbert be fired for speaking the truth? Those of you who want the likes of fascist trump to have complete dictatorial control should really consider a move to North Korea or somewhere where this oppressive kind of regime exists...... your thinking is so anti everything this country stands for that it is frightening
After all of the disgusting things that 45 has said and done, and no one has removed him from the campaign or the presidency, it seems an over reaction to expect an entertainer who's modus is satire and humor should be removed from his position. You can't have it both ways. Outrage should have been over 45. The position of president requires decorum and dignity, only two of the many qualities 45 lacks.
You can't vote for a profane, vulgar character like Trump and then claim to be offended when someone makes a vulgar joke about him.
That CBS would even consider taking action against Colbert for one comment is unbelievable. How many years did O'Reilly, Ailes, and others at Fox harass women with impunity? Our foul-mouthed president knows no bounds verbally or physically against others. No, the supporters of this filthy president and his greedy dishonest minions have no right to complain about their hurt feelings. Hypocrites whose outrage is absurd, and I want no more of them demanding that their petty whines direct our lives.
Leave Colbert alone, CBS. He's making you lots of money. More importantly, he's one of the precious barriers protecting us all from the creep-in-chief in Washington. He's doing a great job. And besides all that, he gives us the great gift of laughter.
The vast majority who were offended voted for Rump. They weren't offended when Rump mocked a disabled reporter, or called mexicans rapists, or encouraged violence at his rallies, or made vile, disgusting comments about women. Now they are offended. Go figure.
The words may have been a bit "over the top", but the sentiment remains - the Orange Twittler is merely reaping what he sewed...vile, ugly words came out of his mouth long before Colbert started his rants. I think Colbert is funny, and his first amendment rights are protected just like the Twittler-in-Chief's "locker room talk" was. Perhaps Colbert will begin apologizing when the Orange Twittler acknowledges his chronic poor choices of words and apologizes for them. Meanwhile, I'll continue watching Stephen Colbert and SNL!
"FIRED?" NO but I'd rather he didn't go DOWN to Trump's level of disgusting. He's better than that and so are we.
I would like to know how many people that voted 'yes' actually watched the show.
Well if he goes, they better take down Fox news, as that criticizes anyone but the far right regularly.
So its fine for yhe president to speak that way but no one else its the republicans all over hypocrites
Fire Trump!
Make Colbert President!! ????
The orange idiot and his supporters are truly deplorable.
The historically low approval proves it.
I love how is hypocritical supporters are so enraged it's hilarious what a bunch of snowflakes
Grab a handful of pussy like a rapist, we'll make you President. Holster a Ruskie cock in your retard fucking mouth and suddenly the rednecks lose their shit. Fuckheads!
"And you can grab them by the ...". We've got a bully for a president who advocates sexual assault. More people should be speaking up. Now I'm going to start watching Colbert!
Why would I be upset? He only said what a majority of Americans are thinking.
The Cons are in a dither, yelling "homophobia" as if they give a shit about the gay community. Phony hypocrites just can't accept the the bold truth about der Fuhrer and his being owned by Putin.
Colbert rocks! Trump sucks! Kathleen and sayrock, & many others herein, have stated it better and more eloquently. When the pig, race-baiter who is the minority's con artist in chief dismissed and criticized a federal judge bc of his family's ethnic heritage, he showed that he is total scum and deserves the most vile of comedic treatment possible. Trump is a loser, & will be recorded as such ultimately in American & world history.
Am I upset that Stephen Colbert was not fired from CBS? Absolutely not! I AM upset that this has even become an issue. Yes! So, Trumpsters were not turned off or insulted by the vile "grab em by the . . . " comment, or the steady stream of blatant lies spewing out of our so-called president's mouth, for which no remorse or apology has ever been expressed, but they found a line in a monologue uttered by a comedy host, who later admitted that he may have gone too far, was cause for dismissal? Really?? Well, I'll tell you what, if the same rules applied, and Trump got fired, I would bet that Colbert would happily give up his spot on CBS in exchange and become a national hero!! God gawd! Why am I even wasting my time here. There is no rational way to reach Trump supporters. Like Trump said, "He loves the uneducated."
It's protected speech, because, you know, this is the United States of America. Colbert is a comedian who shines a bright light on the ridiculous, and undoubtedly, criminal behavior of the current occupant of the White House.
Who's a snowflake now?
Oh irony. They name is Conservative
"and you can grab them by the pussy, because you can..." End of story.
I strongly support Colbert and give two shits about the feelings of POS POTUS or the simple minded, inbred fucks that support him!
Who did you say was a snowflake? You right wing yeast infected twats can dish it but ya can't take it because YOU are the real snowflakes.
Love Colbert. Just saying lots of truths. In humorous ways. Not as crude. Stupid sexist racist as the orange idiot lying in the White House
I 100% support Stephen Colbert, not only the veracity of his comments but in his right to say them. Last time I check freedom of speech was still a part of The Constitution of the United States of America. Kudos Mr. Colbert, for not being afraid to say what needed saying, at a time when we need to stand up and call a spade, a spade!
Twumpy Wumpy feeling got hurt? Fuck Trump. Fuck all you unpatriotic Deplorables. And keep up the good work Steven Colbert.
Freedom of speech, people. Get over it!
Why should CBS fire him? Because Trump can't take a joke and doesn't believe in free speech? Trump said much worse in televised rallies during the campaign. Let's fire him before he takes away all our rights and starts WWIII.
Colbert's joke wasn't homophobic. It wasn't about or directed at homosexuals. It was about trump's too cozy relationship with putin and it was to say that putin has the power in the relationship.
Any conservative saying the joke was homophobic obviously doesn't understand the concept of homophobia. If they did, they'd realize the satirical joke was about getting help by putin to win the election and being indebted to him.
I'm pretty sure you forfeited the right to be upset about lewd speech when you voted for an absolute pig of a man who openly bragged about grabbing women by their pussies. Fuck off, hypocrites.
Why is cock holster homophobic and why are rightwingers calling the kettle black? Gays don't corner the market on blowjobs. In this case the reference is related to blowing someone for favors, not because they're homosexual. Rightwing cocksuckers will jump on any bandwagon to condemn liberals. Fuck!!
You vote for a guy who brags about grabbing pussy who's wife did lesbian porn and now you're upset about a comedian? Fuck off and check out the first amendment.
COCK HOLSTER COCK HOLSTER COCK HOLSTER COCK HOLSTER COCK HOLSTER COCK HOLSTER
BAHAHAHAHHAHAA
TRUMP SUCKS !!!
lol, all these self righteous people whining about what a satirical comic said. Where was your outrage when your darling President laughed about grabbing women's pussies? Or calling them pigs? You people are such hypocrites. Colbert stated he maybe should not have said it as crudely, but yea he would say it again. As for it being homophobic, lol, since when did any of his supporters give a rats ass about the LGBT community.? His comment had NOTHING to do with homophobia, NOTHING. What is truly sad is mainstream media allowing the President to lie every time he opens his mouth. THAT is upsetting. You fools think what Donald says is ok, Deface the Nation, fake news, etc..... but saying he is the c*** holster for Putin you have an issue with. lol But not Trumps lies, Trumps adulteries. Not his divorces, fraud charges, law suits. Get a life.
Trump aside, Colbert should be fired for his homophobic slur. It is hate speech, pure and simple. There should be no place for his kind of hate no matter what his reasoning at CBS. As a gay man , I am personally offended not only by Colbert, but by an entire network that seems to condone his hate speech.
Trump says & does vulgar all the time. Why is it a big deal that Colbert calls out Trump & the commie loving cuck he is? Trump is Putin's cock holster & butt puppet too.
