if the same thing were said of Obama or Hillary Clinton by a conservative comedian.

Do you know a conservative comedian?

Colbert’s departure also reminds us how hollow conservative comedic efforts have been, as they fail to play catch-up in the cultural war of political satire. Humor remains a rhetorical weapon that American conservatives simply cannot harness.

Conservatives just aren’t funny: Why the right will never have its own Stephen Colbert

I’m with you on this one. Colbert is very funny and has been winning hearts and minds for the left for a decade now. His lampooning of conservatives is a morale boost for liberals. He validates their worldview in a highly visible way and they love him for it. Maybe one of these days we’ll close the arts and culture gap with the left. It is truly puzzling to me this massive asymmetry when it comes to culture.

What are they talking about. Colbert isn’t funny at all.

Humor must contain a grain of truth. People only think he’s funny if they believe the same rotten crap he believes.

The Blue Collar comedy folks were funny, but Colbert’s fans don’t think so because they don’t recognize the truth in their material.
