Ohhhhh. NOW I get it. He's not REALLY ignorant. He's just PRETENDING to be. He's Archie Bunker.
Just one question, though. Shouldn't the people who laugh at such humor be castigated for laughing at it?
I mean, his audience, for instance.
I've watched his show. I think it's funnier than Jon Stewart's or any of the late night talk shows.
I watch already knowing his darts are aimed at people like me.
But, the weird thing is, his audience laughs uproariously at these kinds of bits.
Am I to assume someone on his production staff roams the streets of New York and purposely finds people like myself to fill the seats?
If not, are we to believe that the people in his audience are laughing at the idea that people like me find this kind of humor funny or do they find the bit funny themselves?
Hmmmmm. I wonder.

Stick with the rule book.

Given how few people watch or are even aware of his niche show, he shouldn’t assume that people would see that he was attempting satire.

Good. Let's see this A-hole tap dance around trying to explain that he was parodying what one of those nasty conservatives would say. He is going to quickly learn that it doesn't matter to the PC grievance zealots who police this stuff. They need another target to pillory.

He's not funny. Never has been. He's a liberal doing an impersonation of what they believe conservatives to be like. You should be offended.........................

You would be surprised (or maybe not) at the number of people who think(?) that Colbert is sincere and that the show is real..............................

I watched the bit live the other night. It was a funny parody of the Redskins creating a foundation for native Americans. In no way did I think the bit was racist. Then again, I don’t walk around consumed in thought over whether or not something can be construed as racist.

I realize he's doing an impersonation. But that's kind of my point. IS HE? This stuff is written up by 30 or 40 paid Liberals. Are we supposed to believe that when they bat these things around in the production meeting they aren't laughing their Bidens off at what they come up with?
They're like the guy who farts at the dinner table and blames it on the dog.

There it is.
He's appealing to his audience's ignorance ABOUT the supposedly ignorant.
