I believe Colbert’s entire life is one big joke. On him.

Because, as a conservative, I am soooo stupid.

I don’t believe this for one minute. I have yet to meet a conservative who thinks that Colbert is funny. Plus, it’s just hard to find a conservative who actually knows who Colbert is.

I remember a time when you weren’t subjected to the subtle nuances of politics from C|Net.

Sometimes Colbert can be quite humorous. But I will admit, he does more conservative and Republican bashing (esp about Bush) than anything toward the Liberals/Left or Obama.

He is not fair and balanced, and I wish he would blast the Democrats/Liberals more. However he does do a good job to comically shut his left leaning guests down.

You have to have a tough skin and open minded sense of humor to sit through some of his shows IMO.

So 330 students total, multiplied by 10% because that’s probably the number of Republicans the lefty author bothered to find, for a sample size of 30.

I think most of us see Colbert as a slightly-less-annoying, but still just as pseudo-intellecual and unfunny, Jon Stewart.

I guess if I’d ever seen this Colbert guy for 3 seconds on TV, this might make sense. I don’t even know what channel he’s on.

I’m too stupid to realize Colbert is making fun of me. Really.

One of the nice things about having a hundred channels, a shelf full of books, and a several-hundred disc record changer is the fact that I never ever have to watch these nimrods.

There are whole generations of sitcom actors and comedy-channel funny-men I couldn’t identify if they sat down next to me at the coffee shop.

Colbert's a one-trick pony, and he never was funny. His only schtick is mocking O’reilly, which is fine with me, but he just ain't funny.

reassess their mental direction

That's what reeducation camps are for. You will learn about The Truth like global warming or get shot.

We would think differently if Colbert was just the least little bit funny. A root canal is more humorous than this slug.

Colbert is the guy on television who makes faces when other people are talking.

Funny? I guess it depends on the face he makes.

They subjected 332 people of varying political bents to a three-minute clip of "The Colbert Report."

Three minutes of selectively edited clips for someone who has never seen his show is hardly scientific. I would bet most of the liberals they "tested" had already seen his show.

Let me know when they do the Ann Coulter survey. I'll bet the libs think she is the funniest and most personable person in the world; just like I think of lib satirists are very funny./s Don’ trust the poll.

The left really believe that O’Reilly is a conservative...and this is why they get such a kick out of Colbert. If you don’t think O’Reilly is a conservative, his schtick makes no sense...and certainly isn’t funny....just annoying.

many conservatives appear to think that he is only pretending to be funny.

Amen. I didn't think he was funny BEFORE I knew he who he was. If he's pretending to be funny, he sucks at pretending.
