I kinda thought it was hilarious when he said the only thing Trump's mouth is good for is being Putin's cock holster. 
That was pushing the limits on major network late night talk show comedy.
( just because some people don't think it's funny, like conservatives and Gays, don't mean that shit ain't funny.)

He's not an objective newscaster.  He hates Trump and he'll be the first to tell ya.

I would excuse it if it really was comedy, but it wasn't even close.

It was character assassination, and nothing but hate-filled, disrespectful, uncontrollable venom! 

That's not satire or any other accepted form of comedy.  I've never watched this guy except on YouTube when he does crap like this.  I never found him to be even close to funny.

Bill Maher was fired for calling the 9/11 hijackers brave compared to our military.

Quote
We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly.
Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.”

He put comedy on hold and went off on a political rant, and the backlash was enough to have him fired.

Colbert did the exact same thing.  Not comedy -- pure political and personal attacks against a sitting President.

He should get what Maher got.

As with all the other "resistance" that is occurring, just imagine the response if such comments and actions were directed at Obama or (not president) Hillary Clinton. That tells you everything you need to know. Complete and total hypocrisy. Hypocrites gonna hypocrite.

Heard about this on the radio the other day.  Only know of Colbert because he's on CBS and I watch a bunch of series on CBS. 

Why anyone give these tv "personalities" so much power/weight/sway is beyond me.

We would watch occasionally in the past when he had the SC show, but now he;'s just a total ass.
Not funny anymore, don't watch.

I've read that all late night host ratings have gone up except for Jimmy Fallen because he doesn't focus on Trump like everyone else. The thing about Trump is that he writes the material for the late night comedians. Jon Stewart used to do that with Dubya when he would show clips and then make awkward faces at the camera while the audience giggles. I didn't think it was funny because there wasn't a punchline. Trump writes his own punchlines every day for the comedians. If you want examples, start watching late night TV.

Actually, I was surprised that Fox canned OReilly. It seemed like the sponsors made the decision to pull out before the sexual harassment allegations were known.

What's the matter Gang ?

Did Colbert invade your guys safe space ?

You guys always rip about the whiny kids nowadays who can't handle opposing views.
Now who's whining calling for this guy to be taken off the air because he has a volatile opposing view.

It's not fair. They would never stand for that if it was Obama or Hellary. Oh boohoo.

He's not funny and it's not comedy. Tell Carlin that back in the day.
He should get what Maher got. 2 wrongs won't make a right.
He's saying this about a sitting President. God Bless America.
Pure political and personal attacks. Hell yeah. Doesn't get much more personal than his Monday night rant. Heck he said he do it again last night.
They gave him the pulpit and he's using it to express his personal views.  What the heck, he's preaching to the choir.

Complained to the FCC? It's late night television aimed at adults. What so offended you that you had to call a Federal Agency and try to get this show off the air.
Change the channel or don't watch.
 
Same crud we tell the poor liberal young adults with their safe spaces.
Poor sensitive conservatives were offended ? Maybe they should put trigger warnings before these shows.
This is comical.

That appears to be directed at my post:

"As with all the other "resistance" that is occurring, just imagine the response if such comments and actions were directed at Obama or (not president) Hillary Clinton. That tells you everything you need to know. Complete and total hypocrisy. Hypocrites gonna hypocrite."

I never mentioned anything at all about "fair", nor would I, because life isn't fair and why would one expect it to be? Least of all in the realm of politics. (Arbitrary and capricious standards for and application of law by government against its citizens is different, and not a matter of "fair".) My comment was about people being hypocrites, i.e. inconsistent in their application of values or standards or rules or whatever you want to call the criteria they use to evaluate what they consider to be "appropriate" or "vulgar" or "offensive" or whatever, depending on whether they "agree" or not with the target of the comments/actions.

Everyone is just exercising their First Amendment guaranteed natural civil right to express their view: me against hypocrites, you against whiners (who you yourself see as hypocrites). Colbert is free to say whatever he wants, as is everyone else in response. If you want to make the case that they are "wrong" in their view, go ahead.

I couldn't care less about Colbert or what any other media personality has to say. I hate the seemingly importance and power people give them, from both sides. How they can sway and propo simple minds as well as inject conflict where there really isn't any. He is free to day whatever he wants in so far as his employer will tolerate. That said, the hypocrisy of the treatment people like Colbert and people who support him is obvious and sickening if you look at it from a perspective of if the sides were changed.

Hound is right for the most part.
However....
It's just amazing to me that CBS has not (officially) squelched his rhetoric.
I swear, on some nights he is almost out of breath during the opening monologue while spouting his venomous anti-trump diatribe.
...and he does this every single night!
It almost seems like he is trying to incite his audience into a lynch mob...a real lynch mob.
It is seriously creepy.
I have to wonder if the studio audience really feels the same way he does. Or are they just watching the signs?

Apparently it's open season on Trump.

And it is every night.
You gotta wonder how long this can go on for.

Update: (posted after O.F below)
Just ran a little Google
From our friends at the Huff Post (Oh Crap)
"It’s safe to say Stephen Colbert isn’t too concerned about his job security.

After the hashtag #FireColbert reached trending levels of popularity on social media earlier this week, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” posted its best overnight ratings since the show’s 2015 premiere week on Thursday night.
...
It turns out that the backlash only made him stronger. The show scored a scored a 2.5 rating, according to CBS, easily outpacing its late-night competition, NBC’s “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” which topped out the night with a 1.9 rating. The margin between the two shows was the largest to date. The episode was also up 19 percent from the previous Thursday and a whopping 32 percent from the same night a year ago. "

Well, probably just as many people "hate" Trump as "hate" Hillary Clinton... roughly half the country's voters. So there would theoretically be an audience for comedians targeting either one (had Clinton become president). Of course we all know that the "jokes" about Clinton would have been nothing in degree or quantity compared to what Trump is getting (imagine someone making a "joke" in line with Colbert's about Trump re Clinton's "orifice" being the "cock holster for Putin" (I mean, she was involved in the uranium deal and Podesta and associates had all kinds of dealings with the Russians...), that would NEVER have happened.

Also note that Colbert's audience is 2.74 million viewers... that is a mere 7% of the residents of the New York and Los Angeles metropolitan areas (who voted overwhelmingly for Clinton). From the perspective of the entire U.S. population, 0.8% view his show... which means that 99.2% do not watch the show. It's pretty easy for me to believe that there is a tiny segment of the U.S. population that would delight in and not tire of Trump-bashing... I mean once a month I still watch those video compilations of the "reporters" on election night with their stunned looks of disbelief and mouths hanging open on the verge of tears... it's entertaining!  :D

Of course, using Obola's playbook and his DC crew still in place, any satire of PIAPS would have triggered massive IRS audits, FCC investigations, etc.
