FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai went on with Neil Cavuto on Thursday to discuss Stephen Colbert’s nasty, vulgar attacks on President Trump earlier this week.

Ajit Pai told Neil the FCC will investigate Colbert’s comments if they receive complaints.

He admitted that he had not yet seen the vulgar comments.

On Monday, Colbert, host of CBS’ “The Late Show,” used his opening monologue to take aim at Trump, implying the commander in chief had engaged in fellatio with Putin.

He admitted that he had not yet seen the vulgar comments? Where the hell has he been the past three days, in a coma?

In a liberal coma - it happens all the time. No liberal sees anything wrong with anything if it’s one of their own.

He went on the show to talk about the comments and, yet, hadn't seen them? Good grief.

How much you want to bet that at least one complaint has been filed?

If Colbert or any other alleged comedian, had said the same things about Obama, he would have been yanked off the air by CBS immediately. We all know that. We know liberals know that. Liberals know that we know that they know that.

This reminds me of various double standards for liberals. Liberals are held to a different lower more lenient standard than the rest of us.

That wasn’t a joke. That was hate speech.

I don’t care what anyone says over the airwaves. I don’t need Mommy Government protecting me from what people say. I can tune out or not tune in in the first place. Let the marketplace decide.

Since colbert trashed Trump, no outrage. But when a circus clown put on a blackface, he was fired.

I suppose he means complaints from the “right” people on the left.

Except that it is useful to beat over the heads of the Left and we should hit them hard and often.

After all, they defined the term “PC” — politically correct and the list is growing daily.

liberals’ standard is simple. If a liberal says it or does anything at all it is good and unobjectionable. If someone other than a liberal who is not a protected species does it or says it it is a least offensive and probably criminal.

Then file complaints based on homophobia and hate speech.

For what it is worth, Colbert is probably sweating. Lets hope that his fear is real and lasts for weeks and months.

An investigation and sanction would be nice, too.
