Yesterday, Stephen Colbert masterfully made a point about Redskins owner Dan Snyder refusing to change the team’s name but starting a foundation to help Native Americans in his usual satirical way.
Colbert has, through the years, played his role well, often using offensive humor to highlight some of the darker aspects of our society. As a right-wing character, Colbert utilized Asian stereotypes in an effort to make the point that if the Redskins were employing any other racial stereotype, people would care.
Conservatives, of course, leapt on the opportunity to pretend they are not racist by jumping at one of their most hated enemies on Twitter, after Comedy Central quoted part of the segment out of context–making for the perfect opportunity for the right-wing to slam Colbert without actually watching the segment!
Of course it received some outrage from the suddenly ethnically sensitive Right Wing. Which prompted this response from Michell Malkin:
Coward just deleted the tweet! RT @TwitchyTeam Racist 'joke' has ppl calling for Comedy Central to #CancelColbert http://t.co/N8G9oBBzSg
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 28, 2014
That's right she is calling for the Colbert Show to be cancelled because she does not understand parody.And she was not finished yet.
Co-sign! RT @suey_park I'm sick of liberals hiding behind assumed "progressiveness" #CancelColbert
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 28, 2014
Of course a few of Malkin's flying monkeys also jumped on the bandwagon.
#CancelColbert - I agree! Just saw @ColbertReport tweet. I share your rage.
Who is that, though? I'm @StephenAtHome

The tweet contains the link to the bit that was referred to by the Comedy Central account, and once you watch it you kind of have to admire how deftly Colbert baited the hook in order to reel in the Right Wing's professional outrage machine.I have every expectation that Colbert, and possibly other late night comedians, will have a field day with this in the coming days.
Sometimes it is like shooting fish in a barrel. Stupid, stupid, fish.
I really hate Michelle Malkin. She is a rabid, raving idiot.
ReplyDeleteShe is a loathsome hatemonger.
Deletemalkin, the snarling girl dog lives about 2 miles from me. She rarely leaves her gated compound. She's palin's asian counterpart only smart, but just as hateful.
DeleteShe is a "Anchor baby"! Her parents were illegal immigrants who dropped her ass on 'merikan soil is the only reason SHE is here! She better watch her mouth. STFU and yes she is a loathsome hatemonger, I can't stand her whining ass....
DeleteWell, well, well…..Pres. Obama didn't go to war; no, he went after the money & Putin picked up the phone to discuss diplomatic solutions

Republicans Wrong Again: Sanctions Force Putin To Call Obama and Propose Settlement
DeleteAfter seeing Obama’s sanctions take a bite out of the Russian economy, Putin blinked and called the president today with a settlement proposal to end the crisis in Ukraine.
...Bloomberg reported that the sanctions are pushing Russia’s economy towards a recession and that current sanctions will already hurt Russia’s economic growth for two quarters. Experts also suggest that the energy sector of the Russian economy could take a big hit if the sanctions are expanded.
All of the Republicans who suggested that sanctions have been a pointless failure are wrong. The sanctions are doing what they are supposed to do. Putin is coming to the table, and he suggesting that he is ready to solve this crisis diplomatically.
President Obama hasn’t needed troops or to threaten militarily. His administration has clearly targeted Putin and the oligarchs that control the Russian economy. Republicans have been like fanboys with their praise of Putin’s strength, but it turns out their new hero has been being brought to his knees by the intelligent and determined foreign policy of Barack Obama.

I read a synopsis of an article that said PBO also hit Putin where it hit personally - his EGO.
DeleteBOO repeatedly stated in various conferences that Putin was a "regional power", and devoid of any global significance.
He was much more nuanced than that but he basically said Putin ain't shit.
Another "fuck you" to all the morons who spoke of Putin as if he were someone to admire.
They are dumber than dog shit.
Sarah Palin - looking right at you, bitch.
I LOVE THE PRESIDENT!!
DeleteFinally a President who knows how to use brains instead of brawn. A Leader.
He's earning that Nobel Peace Prize, sarah, hehe
It was perfect. Never expect a stupid person to understand satire or sarcasm. They just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI am a staunch Republican, a self-proclaimed Fox News addict, and I didn't vote for the President. And I'm here to tell you that Obamacare works. I'm living proof.
ReplyDeleteI'm a chemotherapy patient, and was previously paying $428 a month for my health coverage. I was not thrilled when it was cancelled.
Then I submitted an application at HealthCare.gov. I looked at my options. And I signed up for a plan for $62 a month.
It's the best health care I have ever had.
So right now, here's what I want to tell anyone who still needs health insurance, or knows someone who does:
Sign up. Follow the instructions on the website. Apply, and look at your options. You still have time, and take it from me: This is something you want to do.
I wrote a letter to President Obama this past February to tell him about my experience with the Health Insurance Marketplace. I hoped he'd read it, and he did.
I may not be a supporter of the President. But now, I get mad when I see Obamacare dragged through the mud on television.
And even though I regularly tune in to conservative pundits, I'd like to tell them they're getting it wrong. Obamacare works.
So one more time: If you still need health insurance, you have just three days to get it. Do what I did. Go to HealthCare.gov, submit an application, and pick a plan that works for you.
It just might change your life.

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately, many of not most others who are following Fox Noise, will not believe you. To their own detriment.
DeleteYeah, the President has only fought and fought and fought to get YOU, Mark, and everyone you know, affordable health care.
DeleteHe has been crucified over Obamacare - and I don't use that word lightly.
But, Yeah, Mark -
Why should you even SUPPORT this President who has made such a very real and positive difference in your life?
Can you name ONE THING Bush did sitting his ENTIRE presidency that you could say actually HELPED you in your life?
Didn't think so, fuktard.
(I know this is a re-post from elsewhere but seriously, there will never be ANYTHING the President Can do to get these assholes to support him in improving their OWN lives!
Smdh
F U McCain, you make a good point, but you lost my vote calling the commenter above a fuktard.
DeleteReally? Don't we see enough of that childish crap from the right?
Thank you, 7:31. I try to refrain from insulting someone directly but I know "Mark" will not ever see my post.
DeleteMy lack of eloquence soaks to my frustration over these. ..willfully ignorant people. (Pretty good, right? ) that will literally be able to save their own lives (in theory) thanks to the healthcare that THIS President has championed at great personal sacrifice -
And yet they can not, and will not, ever "lower themselves" to support him.
Makes me see red.
(But you are right, name calling is immature. .. But fun sometimes if it just gets lost in the Internet! :)- )
7:31 here, I'm right there with you FU, I see red too at the treatment of this President. I can't believe how unfair and hateful people can be to someone who has only tried to have their best interests at heart with the ACA.
Delete(But you are right, name calling is immature. .. But fun sometimes if it just gets lost in the Internet! :)- )
Totally agree : )
I agree with you FU. The fucking retard life is being saved by what President Obama and the Dems fought for. I bet before he got healthcare he was probably one of the nuts who wanted to repeal it, throw it out. Loud and ignorance is their name.
DeleteI was just looking up "fucking idiot" in the dictionary...
ReplyDeleteThey really don't get deeper than the literal do they? Shallow hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteSomeone ought to ask this petulant little tick what she made of Coulter's comment regarding the, "browning of America."
ReplyDeleteExactly.
Appropriating a popular Franken comedy routine from his time at “Saturday Night Live,” Palin wrote that Ortman “is good enough, she is smart enough, and doggone it, people like her.”
ReplyDeleteFor her part, the candidate said on Facebook that she is honored to have Palin “on our side as we fight to defeat Al Franken!"

Malkin looks rabid in that top photo! Not attractive of her at all - matches her idiotic rhetoric!
ReplyDeleteTheir collective blood pressure must be through the roof: all these idiots do is bicker and badger and bellow.
ReplyDeleteThey'd win more converts with honey. Come on, people, lighten up and get a sense of humor.
Malkin must be in the dark about what is said about her by the Conservatives behind closed doors. She is a tool.
ReplyDeleteWell, she seems to have some off- white coloring. That's a big No No.
DeleteSure, great as tokens (Hi, Michael Steele! Where you at, man? ),
But they know the "ceiling" is hitting them right in their Empty craniums.
Keep in mind that this suddenly race-conscious Michelle Malkin has never seen a problem with the Japanese/Asian internment camps in the USA during WWII. Randomly pick up people because they belonged to a certain race/nationality? No problem for her, but really.
ReplyDeleteWere there ever German interment camps?? I don't think so. Hmm.
Kind of like the Jewish people who served as guards in the concentration camps.
DeleteIf I stay on THEIR side, maybe they won't come for me.
There were.
DeleteBesides the well known internment camps in California and Nevada for people of Japanese ancestry, [Lynn Goodsell] noted that camps were also set up for Germans and Italians throughout the United States and Latin America.
There is a lot of information here -

That's not remotely funny. Even less so coming from a respected Comedian. (most comedians aren't respected)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't supposed to be funny. Colbert used satire to demonstrate the offensiveness of the 'Redskin' name to native Americans .
DeleteHis Ching Chong Ding Dong bit was from 2005 and he got beat up for it then, which is exactly why he replayed it to make his point. Colbert's a little too subtle for most people, that's why he spurns so much outrage. I for one love him and think he's hilarious!

Malkin is a rabid, toxic, ugly creature who thrives on stirring up rage and hate. She is one of the vilest females out there. She and Sarah are two peas in a pod. A putrid pod, that is.
ReplyDeleteJanuary 2011 when Chinese President Hu Jinato met with President Obama ,
ReplyDeleteRush Limbaugh mocked Jinato .
Limbaugh did a racist imitation of Jinato in a
song song voice using words
like " chin chong, chin chong cha ".
California State Senator Leland Yee
( yes, the same one.. ) and others asked Limbaugh , on behalf of the Chinese and Asian community , for an apology.
Which of course, never came.
I don't remember Michelle Malkin demanding that the Limbaugh show be cancelled.
Limbaugh repeated his offensive Chinese imitation again this week.
Still waiting for Malkin to condemn.
@ 6:31 PM
DeleteYou'll have to wait a really long time for that rabid and self-loathing leather bag to speak up against her puppet masters: Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly!
Oh, poor widdle anchor-baby Malkin has hurt fee-fees. Too bad, so sad, suck it up bitch.
ReplyDeleteI am not a midget.
ReplyDeleteYes you are. Neener neener
DeleteHow tall are you?
ReplyDeleteMichelle Malkin looks like a furriner. Send her home if she is that concerned.
ReplyDelete＋１
DeleteAnd we can seal the border after she goes home to Canada!
Michelle is one ugly woman and does not look American to me. She needs to go home to her own country and leave ours alone. She is on the same level as Sarah Palin. Just as stupid.
ReplyDeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth.
DeleteOver and over again, we see evidence that Republicans simply have no sense of humor...which is the ability to laugh at funny things.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I watch Colbert, I continually wonder if there are thousands of idiotic rightwingnuts cheering him on, as if he is SERIOUS when he says stuff only racist/bigots would ever utter.
(I got that impression, from seeing someone's Facebook "likes" as including Limbaugh, Palin, Beck, and COLBERT!!!)
You know, I have often wondered the same thing. Given Malkin's complete inability to appreciate sublime sarcasm, I'm guessing that there are more than a few RWNJs who take Colbert at face value.
DeleteAlso, how convenient of Malkin to disparage a piece of wit directed at Asians while condoning most every other genuinely racist insinuation directed at, most notably, African-Americans as purveyed by the very network she works for. I daresay that one would be hard-pressed to find a greater example of self-disqualification than her pathetic and impotent display of trumped-up rage.
Bravo to Mr. Colbert. the gop doesn't see how utterly ridic they sound and look.while they are on their high sham horse.
ReplyDeleteThey have caused, incited and have/has thrived on hatred, racism, cheating, lying, stealing, greed, ignorance, violence and death by their very real disdained for wo/mankind, government and the disadvantaged.
These fools can't see the forest for the trees. They wouldn't be all up in their interpretation of the second amendment if they could understand the hypocrisy and high ignorance that is them.
Their racism has very real consequences unlike a comic.
This isn't the first time they twisted things around and ran with it hoping it would cause the dems to react by termination although the gop do 10 times worse.
Just stfu michelle and the rest of you half-baked idiots. Leave Mr. Colbert alone.
Colbert and Stewart are brilliant. They represent "smart elite people" the great "Frothy Mix" (aka Rick Santorum) said would never join the conservative/repbulician movement. Fox tried to fight back with "The Half Hour News Hour".
ReplyDeleteThrough the magic of the Youtubes this toxic shitstain of a programme lives on. Dennis Miller, the crown jewel of this show makes quite an impression...compare and contrast Dennis Miller to Stephen Colbert:

Michelle Malkin illustrates fractal wrongness three times every day before eating breakfast.
ReplyDeleteStupid conservative says "what"?
ReplyDeleteWhenever anyone calls out the right wing for their racism, their misogyny or there nativism, they immediately demand that the person be silenced. Yet their hateful and mean diatribes must be treated with respect. After all, there is the First Amendment. Doesn't the First Amendment apply to Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and anyone else who tells the truth? Or does the First Amendment only relate to the mean-spirited racist right wing?
