#FireColbert is on fire.

Talk show host Stephen Colbert is taking serious heat on social media for a profane joke he made about President Donald Trump that many fans are calling "homophobic."

The "Late Show" star sounded off on Trump during his opening monologue Monday night, criticizing Trump for abruptly ending an interview with CBS News' "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson.

"Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine," Colbert said during his profranity-laced rant, which was bleeped during the telecast. "You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's c–k holster."

Fans immediately took issue with Colbert's final joke, with some calling the comedian homophobic, and demanding CBS fire him.

What they are ‘upset’ about is the use of the words AS AN INSULT, making the act itself something to be disdained...............

The final step in gaining equality is when jokes about your group are no longer offensive (at least no more offensive than jokes about old white males).

At this point, the main thing keeping homosexuals from equality in the US is pro-LGBT morons getting offended by jokes. Once LGB jokes are acceptable it’ll be hard to tell the difference between the treatment of LGBs and white, Christian males. They’re already treated WAY better than rednecks in most of the country in every way except redneck jokes are considered funny rather than offensive.

Ts have other inequalities. That’s why the LGBT activists are so focused on Ts. Without the T, there’s not much to be active about without looking like a fool by being offended by a joke. And getting offended by LGB jokes is getting old.

But isn’t it funny that the very people who love Colbert and hate Trump should call for Colbert to be let go because of his “homophobic” comment.

Yes it is. But harnessing PC attitudes can be an effective tool. I was semi-involved with an eminent domain issue where I used to live. The township was pretty set on going forward with it. Problem was, it was a black-owned property in an overwhelmingly white township, and the family selling had ties to it going back to the early 1900s. At the township meeting a number of black residents and local historians spoke their minds about it, and the township wilted under the assault.

In that case there was no qualm in my mind about empowering black families over a grasping local government. Here, on the other hand, we would need to be super careful about empowering the sodomite agenda. But if we can bring Colbert down with "homophobia" without ceding them any power, then by all means, use that leverage.

Like MSNBC, he is irrelevant. He probably has about seventeen viewers anyway.

Perhaps colbert is a homo himself. This by definition is homophilic. One can’t be neutral when it comes to the rimming crowd. You are either homophobic or homophilic.

What the LGBT crowd is angry with him for is that he used a reference to one of their beloved sex acts in a derogatory manner...........

John Oliver, the Brit twit version of Colbert. (Sorry, I couldn’t remember his name when I first posted.)

Red, I think I get that. Make no mistake, Colbert is at the least a homophile and likely thinks rimming—the spreading of disease by the fecal-oral route—is just part of a wonderful, healthy, lifestyle.
