No - just organize a boycott like the left did with O’Reilly and force the advertisers to stop sponsoring his show.

Kick him off the air using their same tactics.

IS Stephen Colbert supposed to be funny? What gets me is the canned applause? Is the audience drunk?

Nothing will happen to him, because he’s a leftist and he’s allowed to use gay slurs and trash our President..heck I bet CBS gives that douche bag a raise

I agree with your idea of going after Colbert with a defamation lawsuit, but I don’t think the President will do it.

I believe he’ll ignore the crass little punk, and enjoy a bit of private schadenfreud when Colbert’s ratings slip.

Surprised that anyone caught it ... must have been the last CNN viewers that switched channels to his show.

Perhaps a suspension of the network’s license for a few days (or a week) is in order. Hit them in the bank account and they’ll make sure a repeat doesn’t happen.

Is it worth the publicity Trump would be giving this ant? The left would rally behind him. Probably nominate him for president.

This jerk just oozes hate, viciousness etc. If I forget and leave CBS on after local news is over, I scramble for the remote to squelch him no matter who his guests are going to be.

Didn’t think it would be possible for CBS to inflict someone worse than Letterman on the American people but boy was I wrong.

If he’d said any of that about Obama he would have been fired. The only thing the network may ask him to do is apologize to homosexuals for making a negative reference to gay sex.

The author refers twice to Colbert's vulgar comments not being constitutionally protected.

His comments may not be acceptable to polite society and could possibly border on libel, but his hateful, vulgar rant is exactly what is protected under the Constitution.

We don't need the Constitution to protect us from speech everybody agrees with. It is the speech that is not popular that is protected.

Wouldn't be surprised if CBS fired him (not likely) and/or Trump sued him for libel.

Everything he’s ever done has been #FAKENEWS, him and that Jon Stewart too. Making up the news and then selling it to the kiddies as satire or parody, but they believe it.

Colbert’s ratings are near the top now for his time slot. They have found success by being more political since the election. Big bucks. Don’t expect him to slow down any time soon.

In case anyone missed Colbert, they can catch up on Sean Hannity radio tonight where he is playing it over and over and over ad nausium, as he often does other things. Colbert was sickening and demeaning. Hannity is not helping. Shut up Sean! We have to lobby to get Colbert and his ilk fired.

If you want to see how far we have sunk in good taste, manners ethics and morals....just look up an original Jack Benny radio program.

Or a Fibber McGee and Molly

Those programs really were funny and nothing was broadcast that would lead to lawsuits, riots,

Present day “comedians” are not funny. only disgusting, mean spirited jerks that would probably be thrown out of your house or mine if they were to show up in person..

I love watching the old Johnny Carson shows on Antenna TV. Carson made fun of all the presidents but he was always respectful and he was always clean. Carter made many jokes about Reagan as president and governor but they were funny, not the lame middle school style Colbert uses.

I say we just give him more attention and free publicity to encourage him to do more of the same.

I’m a yuuuugggggeeeee Trump fan and I hate liberal puke comedians like Colbert!

But, I don’t won’t to go down the road of prosecuting people for saying stuff, no matter what was said because we as a people are not capable of fairly administering judgment and punishment for what people say!

Go live in Britain and the EU if you want to feel the bite of someone else judging you and putting cuffs on you for something you said.
