Go Home

Stephen has a solution for Republicans the who are wanting to rename the Democratic Party.

If the Republicans really want people to go against the Democrats, they'll need a name that instantly turns people off.

Many conservatives see Colbert as actually making fun of liberals. No matter how generous in spirit I try to be, I cannot see that side of his show. Anybody out there have a way to take this beautifully satirical segment and make it about how bad the liberals are? (And you have to do it without making my brain hurt.)

Conservatives LOVED Archie Bunker, and even I, as a child, knew that the character was the subject of ridicule, and not the hero. The right-wing could never get it.

What a strange alternate reality they inhabit.

No pain, no gain, huh? ;-)

The new name for the Republican Party is the Republican HALF Party - half the size of a real party and they stand for Hate, Anger, Lies and Fear.

Half the Size! Less Filling! No Taste! On Sale Now!


We're not going to get very far if you keep injecting logic into the conversation!

They used to have some weight, but now that they've lost Limbaugh as their titular head, they're much lighter, albeit still fully packed.

Is Limpballs taking estrogen? Titular?

Colbert never disappoints!

I love the part with talking points language of "government takeover of healthcare", backed up by that funny truth meter called videotape.
Yeah, it would lead to some bureaucrats making decisions about your healthcare and treatments. Mmmm-I guess all those insurance people must really be medical professionals. "Getting screwed will lose that personal touch." Love it!

It's more like being gang-raped by a herd of syphlitic bears on prime-time national TV.

Conyers ought to show that clip to the full house.

is not what i see here. i work with a large number, a majority of conservative types at a large metro police dept. the most die hard repubs inhabit this separate political reality some of you describe below. i bet you never noticed how the economy just tanked on jan 21, 2009? Bush also inherited a recession from Clinton? i've heard it all and facts don't matter.
me and three others at work voted for obama. i feel so relieved not to have to look at Bush's face any more.

I already call most Democratic politicians "Republican Lite" and to me, Obama is Bush Lite.

To really turn voters off, Republicans must call their opponents The Very Republican Party or the Uber-Republican Party. Or the More Republican than Us Party.

...a "Democrat Socialist". I can't wait 'til the GOPers make it official. To celebrate, I think I'm going to have to get a T-shirt that says "Proud Democrat Socialist" on the front with a tastefully executed graphic of a donkey sodomizing Rush Limbaugh on the back.

Since Rush's face can never be tasteful, I would hope that you black that part out.

you're right. That would count as public obscenity. Besides, he would be recognizable from the hog-like stature of the buggeree.

This viewer for the Colbert Report and The Daily Show does not work for me. Nothing happens. It's annoying.

"If the Republicans really want people to go against the Democrats, they'll need a name that instantly turns people off."

I think limpballs is already taken.

STEVEN chides BOTH sides, the interchangeable republicrats or demipublicans, but most of the satire is based on the republicrats.

True satire, like journalism, should harbor no favorites.
