Colbert mocks Trump’s Orlando response with swastika
The Hill ^ | June 15, 2016 | Mark Hensch

Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday used a swastika to criticize Donald Trump’s reaction to the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

*snip*

The comedian connected lines on the blackboard until they formed a swastika, before erasing it and starting over.

He didn’t mock Trump. He just gave another example of the left having no argument other than to scream NAZI, RACIST, HOMOPHOBE, SEXIST...etc.

If anything the Nazi’s would be the people that can’t even bring themselves to say Radical Islam. The people who have been nothing but hostile to the Israeli’s. The people who support an organization that murders innocents in the womb by the millions and laughs about selling the body parts over their lunch salads.
They are the true evil in this world...

Last place Colbert is trying to lock in his high ranking in late night.

Antenna TV runs old Johnny Carson reruns from the 70’s.
By far the best thing on late night TV.

Evidently you did not watch, he mocked him by NAME and gave two examples, one of the swastika, and the other of an A$$hole, then stated that Trumps decision making process evidently showed that he was an A$$hole.

I find Colbert repugnant, and changed the channel, it was like watching a slow speed train wreck during the sketch, I could not believe he was saying what he was saying, and thinking it was funny...what it was in the least, was disrespectful, of a possible President, and a complete lack of class in the extreme.

Does Godwin’s Law not apply to “comedians”?

It seems that Colbert has very little knowledge of history and worse than that, he ain't funny.

I caught this, not a regular viewer but the drivel comes on after my late local news and sometimes I am too busy to turn the channel. After oh-so-clever diagrams indicating that Trump was a Nazi and an a-hole he went on to gush with some weirdo involved in a movie about farting.

Such is the calibre of the intelligentsia of the left today. So nothing much has changed since I was young.

Evil, not comedy.

Worth repeating.

Again and again!

And Colbert and CBS are mystified as to why his ratings continue to sink.

Why do they call Steve Colbert a comedian?

The only person I know that thinks Colbert is a comedian is Colbert. He's about as funny as a chronic case of VD.

Colbert is getting almost as desperate for ratings as Glenn Beck. He (Colbert) was begging Trump to come on his show so that he could torture and dismantle him for a viral sensation. Donald has smartly stayed away.

Isn’t James Corden that chubby Brit that nobody knew about just two years ago? How time changes things.

Colbert openly called for Trump's assassination.

1. The first image - swastika (Nazi Trump) is the problem.
2. The second image - a crosshairs - is the solution. Colbert verbalizes this solution making it plain: "And the center of it all (points to crosshairs), there's gotta be an answer.

Reinforcing were his lead in words: "which could lead to 'inconceivable' 'bad things.'"

The a.h. part is just barely plausable deniability; Colbert's call for Trump's assassination is crystal clear.

Trump scored major points after Orlando. We saw an angry and scared OCommieMuslim respond. This is Colbert's response.

Make no mistake about what they want or how badly they want it.
