[...] How did Kurtz escape a lefty blog-lynching for this piece? One trackback for reminding “dissident” narcissists that politeness is also patriotic? Richard Cohen wrote an entire column about the hate mail he received when he tried something like that. [...]

Glad I missed Colbert’s act; I realize this post is more about the liberal reaction to Cohen’s critique. Is it any wonder we mistrust their yammering, if they have a shoot first-think never policy when someone makes an honest criticism?
Remember the reporter right after the Katrina debacle who asked Nancy Pelosi about Louisiana Democratic foulups? Pelosi responded, “When did you start working for the Republican Party?”
Remember, ‘following a Party line to the Liberals’ means never confessing that their side is less than perfect, never admitting the other side is more than crap.

Steven Colbert’s jokes were in bad taste. At a prestigious function with the President and First Lady in attendance, a little light humour with the proper decorum is what was called for but to derogate and disrespect two people who hold the highest office in the country, Colbert simple showed himself to possess a low cognitive ability and low white trash. As for the 3500 emails AllahPundit received, tell me where to respond and I will arrange to send another 10000 back.

I watched on the net some of that “comics” routine. He was simply not funny at all. He must have written the crap himself. It was just “jabs” at a President that had to sit with his wife graciously and put up with it. A cowardly action if you ask me. How many of us have ever had the forum available to us to slam someone we disagree with, in front of a public audience, and knowing that person could not and would not respond? Me?? I simply have better character than to even consider doing that, hence the “coward” name I label that so-called comic.
Off topic,I guess. Cohen must realize his fellow demos supported that 3-month-in-nam-warrior that slandered every vet that fought gallantly. Kerry got so much face time, it was a shoe-in for him to be the pol that he became. Yes, the hate is still there from the left of any military action. And the hate is propagated by those that blame America. The J.kerry’s of the left.
I expect that j.kerry and his kind would not have supported any action short of a few cruise missiles after 9/11, had there been a democrat in office.

The Left is humorless when it comes to themselves and only sees something as funny if it tears down someone else. Letterman, Colbert, John Stewart all have that arrogant, hateful atitude about “the unwashed masses” that reinforces the Left’s need to feel superior. To the Left, mean is funny, but for most of us….it’s just mean.

I kinda wish that everyone in the US media would cut down on the hyperbole a bit. In other countries, journalism and politics are genuine blood sports.

[...] Somebody else committed career suicide by stating the truth, even if it meant that somebody bashing President Bush was doing it in a dull way. Allah (not that one, the other one) has the story at Hot Air. This guy writes a story about how the Steve Colbert roast of Bush was lame…then got 3,506+ emails telling him what an idiot he is. [...]

Richard Cohen on Democrats: “The hatred is back”…

This is a column I wouldn’t expect to see written by Cohen, who is generally considered to be a liberal on most issues:

First off, we all know liberals don’t have a sense of humor, only shades of anger.

Second, once a media source has been “approved” by the proper liberal sources, they will followed blindly, like so many rats to the Pied Piper.

Thirdly, never EVER disagree with a liberal. They can turn venomous and strike at any moment.

Stephen Colbert can be very humorous, and I chuckled at a few jokes he made. Other than that, it was pretty dead pan.

When I hear an adult use the phrase “speak truth to power”, I feel embarassed for them.

Didn’t they grow up at some point?
