    I don't think the conservative pundits actually didn't understand the joke themselves, I think they just saw an opportunity to rile up their base and score points against someone who exposes their hypocrisy. Can't attack the message, attack the messenger.

    SOP in their world of political propaganda.

    This is absolutely spot on.

    It's regrettable and predictable to see that old racists like SamFisher not getting it.

    Colbert never disavowed or attempted to bar their attributions to his likeness in the past. If he capitalizes on the promotional gains of the handle he should also share in the blowback of negative publicity.

    texxx, are you offended by this article as well?

    http://www.theonion.com/articles/redskins-kike-owner-refuses-to-change-teams-offens,34292/

    It seems to be getting some flak.

    http://forward.com/articles/186015/the-onion-slams-washington-redskins-owner-with-ant/

    Personally, I think it's hilarious and fair game. It's called satire. It's making fun of something that is racist... hence.... ANTI RACIST.

    The angry white males and some Asians seem to be reading from the same script. Two horribly maligned groups begging for fairness in the world.

    I don't see how anybody thinks Colbert was being offensive to Asians. I mean, what he said was offensive... but that is the point. It was satire. He's acting like the Redskins owner, except because he's a comedian trying to make a point, he named his organization something that was over-the-top racist so that you can easily see the point he was making.

    Take heart, dudebro, from this I'm guessing your verbal scores were so low that affirmative action probably didn't make a difference.

    The other miscalculation that Colbert made was not taking into account veritable army of humorless asian male's (HAM's) skulking about the interwebs..

    From years of YOF's and LOF's, I can tell you that hell hath no fury like a HAM scorned.

    I guess bigtexxx flunked the high-school English class that teaches satire to students.

    Yes, that is clear to anybody with half a brain, but never underestimate the stupidity of most people.

    I already debunked your faulty line of reasoning earlier in the thread.

    Do me a favor and read the thread before posting next time

    Bigtexxx doesn't really find this outrageous. He understands it's satire and in fact, he probably laughed when he heard/read it.

    While clever as usual, it was going to be hard for him to pull that off without looking like an ass one way or another.

    This is actually hilarious, and should be the real angle of those criticizing Colbert for this. At least in this tweet he doesn't come off as disingenuous, and his point is a valid one... that is if you think all his sketches etc. are misrepresentations, which is a stretch to say the least. Part of his appeal is how sadly spot on his schtick is at times. Even if not, though, at least this guy isn't pretending to be an idiot and found an angle for actual criticism or discrediting.

    The angry white males, eh? Nice to know you're on the side of objectivity.

    I suspect this is the work and writing of the covetous Jews.

    Keep trying.

    It doesn't change the fact that your outdated views are racist :)

    Humorless Asian males? Suey Park is a chick, you goofy dork.

    I wonder why targeting the sex of the race is an ongoing theme here. Some Asian people take offense, and some don't. Big surprise.

    Using a limited sample set is called stereotyping, ****ing morons.

    I guess framing it as an issue of sex takes the sting of racism away. Yes, it's still racism even if you have the Yellow Fever.
