    Colbert has long passed trying to be a Comedian when it comes to Trump. For him it is personal; he uses his platform to launch insults under the gist of comedy.

    Because it is personal means it is no longer Comedy? I don't understand your assertion here.

    "...the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's **** holster."

    Nope; not Comedy.

    [our sites filters even censored it]

    No. You should read what I wrote again, this time with an eye towards understanding it. I believe I suggested the PC police ignore statements by those they like, such as Maher, while vilifying the speech of those they don't. This makes Maher specifically not police.

    Is that a micro aggression? I don't know what those are, despite my alleged protesting of them. Is this an example? Or is it just a travel recommendation?

    “Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine, You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s **** holster.”

    That's comedy. Does it end in an overly vulgar(at least by TV standards) personal attack? Sure, but comedy doesnt have to be nice and clean to still be comedy.

    I miss the old IP, the one that used to at least at times use some common sense. The progressive virus has destroyed the host. Complete SJW now.

    I thought the Colbert rant was funny. I also enjoy the right exposing the hypocrisy of the left and holding them to their own standards.

    I don't really see how it's funny. Not because it's offensive. It just isn't funny. It's not a joke.

    More skinheads than Rogaine is a joke. You suck [penis] is just an insult.

    I do think it's kinda out of place, though. I guess I think of comedians' role differently when they're on those national Late Show/Tonight Show type deals, and expect them to be generally sterile/neutral/family-friendly, but I'm not sure whether that's a fair expectation.

    I thought that when I heard it the first time fifteen years ago. It's on the same level as asshole or ******** at this point.

    More of a "c*m dumpster" level IMHO

    I agree though, not very funny. But preparing for an anti-Trump audience, I'm sure it was intended to get a laugh

    Bingo. And this wasn't said at the Laugh Factory. National TV. There is a difference there as well.
