Stephen Colbert just compared the part of the brain that leads placebo-taking patients to heal as if they received real medicine to the same part of the brain that generates votes for Ron Paul. What the hell was that supposed to mean???:confused::confused::confused:

Yeah, I think he was pretty much calling us delusional.

We just got seriously dissed by one of the only allies we ever had in the media.

Thanks a pantload, Colbert.

The key to understanding Colbert's sense of humor is that everything he says he really means the opposite. So, with that said, the insult means that he is a huge supporter.
:)

At least that's what I'm going with! lol

His show definitely caters to liberals as he plays the idiot George W. Bush "conservative". But here's a quote for a Larry King interview that strikes me as quite libertarian. He was out of character for this interview

KING: Do you think you're a great American? I know you love your country. But ...

COLBERT: Well, I do love my country. I don't think I'm particularly a good American. I don't know what makes a good American. Other than somebody who -- I like people who let other people alone. I think that's a pretty good American. And I keep my hands to myself. So I'm an OK American.

I like Ron Paul.
I like Stephen Colbert.

They aren't mutually exclusive. Also, Colbert has given us support in the past. His character can never be pegged down to being supportive of any one idea. The reverse is true.

Sometimes he makes satirical comments and has satirical segments where he acts like he is attacking something but is actually showing how smart the idea is. (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKsC_0fMjr0)

Other times, he is more direct and not being satirical.

He's actually very funny but I wouldn't count on any true support from his television character. It's a good show for what its purpose is and probably talks about more news worthy things in 30 minutes than Fox and CNN all day.

He DOESN'T keep his hands to himself, in fact, he is in everybody's business but his own. He has singlehandedly turned the State of our Nation in to some sort of sick joke. He is no Richard Pryor, and he is no Dave Chapelle, and he sure as hell is no George Carlin, but he sure thinks he is.
Did you see him as "George Bush's Double"? It was disgusting. It is a whitewash. "George Bush is Dumb" "George Bush is a failure"

George Bush is wicked smart.
George Bush has achieved most everything he has set out to do- and in record time. Better than any of his "predecessors".

Where does he say that? He ask him to raise his hand when he lists the departments. After that, the interview is over, Colbert never really comments on this.

I just rewatched the interview, it was classic

"I mean I'm a small government guy, unless of course the President wants to do something."

Did you see him as George Bush's friend at the press club dinner? Colbert and John Sterwart are American heros for standing up to fascism, even if the do it on socialistic leaning shows. I'm convinced the writer's strike was manipulated to keep them off the air during the primaries.

George Bush's double? I haven't seen that, and I think you're thinking of the wrong person. Do you have a link.

There is however, this legendary performance from the White House Correspondents Dinner. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-869183917758574879) Considering the venue, I consider it one of the best speeches in American history. It took enormous balls to pull off, and he nails it. At one point, he criticized reporters for likening Mr. Bush's recent staff changes to "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." "This administration is not sinking," Mr. Colbert said; "this administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg."

Have you clicked on the link? There was a guy that night that impersonated Bush that was George Bush's Double. That wasn't Stephen Colbert. The Bush Administration and the Press Corp absolutely did not know what Stephen Colbert was about when they let him do that. It was a huge mistake. The people in the room hated the speech and the media ignored it. Of course, the speech gained its popularity on the internet.

Again, it was one of the best speeches in American history. He slams the sitting President, the press corp (for their lack of questioning of the administration), and others in the room. They had no clue what hit them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert_at_the_2006_White_House_Correspond ents'_Association_Dinner

A couple points from wiki

Several of Bush's aides and supporters walked out during Colbert's speech, and one former aide commented that the President had "that look that he's ready to blow".[25] Although President Bush shook Colbert's hand after his presentation, Colbert received an icy response from First Lady Laura Bush.[14][3]

Even though Colbert's performance "landed with a thud" among the live audience,[7] a clip of Colbert at the dinner became an overnight sensation, turning into a viral video that spread across numerous Web sites in various forms, with the sites that offered the video seeing massive increases in their traffic.

“I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound—with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."

Actually he brought it up again when he slams the press, in spite of the liberal tilt on tax cuts and global warming.
So GWB and the press read this part of the speech and gave it a green light?:rolleyes:


I am appalled to be surrounded by the liberal media that is destroying America, with the exception of Fox News. Fox News gives you both sides of every story: the president's side, and the vice president's side.

But the rest of you, what are you thinking, reporting on NSA wiretapping or secret prisons in eastern Europe? Those things are secret for a very important reason: they're super-depressing. And if that's your goal, well, misery accomplished. Over the last five years you people were so good -- over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn't want to know, and you had the courtesy not to try to find out. Those were good times, as far as we knew.

But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know - fiction!

Because really, what incentive do these people have to answer your questions, after all? I mean, nothing satisfies you. Everybody asks for personnel changes. So the White House has personnel changes. Then you write, "Oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

They thought they were going to get light humor, they got anything but. The next year, they made sure to get light humor. Here is what the performer from that year had to say.


Little said, ‘I won’t even mention the word Iraq. It’s not appropriate. You just want to be entertaining.... I won’t do anything close to over the line.’ He added, ‘They said, from ...,’ he paused, without finishing the sentence. ‘They thought my approach was more appropriate for their kind of thing. [B]They don’t want Bill Maher or a comedian who’s going to be biting and perhaps knock the president in any way.’”

In an interview with the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi, Little made the same point: “One of the reasons they picked me is because I’m not controversial.... They did get some flak about the guy they had last year. I don’t think they wanted someone political or controversial again.”

The event is put on by the press, I'm sure their goal for the evening was to prop up Colbert by having him make them look like idiots. :rolleyes:

Mark Smith, a reporter for The Associated Press who is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, acknowledges that he had not seen much of Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central before he booked him as the main entertainment for the association's annual black-tie dinner on Saturday night.

Anyone who thinks that he "meant" the opposite is wrong. Colbert insulted Ron Paul supporters.

That segment, "The Word" is used to illustrated some hidden commentary behind what Colbert is saying... so the actual written "Word" is the intentional punditry, usually insulting Colbert's fake appeal to the right.

That was most certainly an insult to Ron Paul voters. I thought it was funny.

I agree with you, but I think he twisted the analogy in a way that makes his true meaning somewhat ambiguous, regardless of his intentions.

The placebo effect is basically one where positive thinking and optimistic expectations bring about real results, even though the original premise behind those expectations is actually false (since you're not taking any real medication). In plain terms, I think Colbert was trying to say that we are making ourselves feel better by making noise (e.g. the march, the convention, Liberty PAC, etc.), but we're not actually making any real progress.

Since the placebo effect actually DOES make things better, it seems like he misused the analogy...either that or he used it correctly, and he's actually giving a half-insult / half-compliment like, "Ron Paul supporters seem to have almost delusional optimism, but they're actually making headway despite themselves."

That said, all I know about the joke is what the threadstarter said - I might be missing some additional context. Either way, it's just one joke :)

He is making fun of Ron Paul for his liberal viewers. He thinks doesn't like the fact that he wants to abolish all those government agencies. I forget the one he asks about but Ron Paul lowers his hand and says its about here on his priorty list and Colbert laughs and says "where the children are."

Ron Paul also is supporting a party that has overlooked the largest government spending in the history of the country.I wouldn't say his call to us to get involved and start restoring the party to its roots is "support." He has been very critical of the GOP and the neo-cons who have taken it over. His decision to remain in the party seems more pragmatic to me than anything else, otherwise he would lose his rank in committees.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing him pull a Jeffords on the party ;)

A couple leftists came by my house yesterday and we had a long discussion about Ron Paul, powerful central governments, the federal reserve, kucinich and unfortunately spent a lot of time on abortion. That was a few hours before the show.

It takes 2 to tango... Ron is probably one of the most independent politicians in Washington D.C.

Remember, you have to choose 1 of 2 evils to be in politics. The political game is rigged and controlled by the 2 party dictatorship.

BOTH DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS are just as guilty when you look at their party fanaticism's. I look at their individual voting records, not party affiliations. The 2 party themselves have swallow up most politicians into their ABYSSES.

Ron Paul stands far and clear, his voting record has proven that, and he's already declared the 2 parties are a fixed dictatorship.

The Democrats Could of ended all so-called WARS, EMPIRE BUILDING, Yotta Yotta since Jan 2007. But Pelosi and gang, aka FASCISTS, struck a deal with Bush gang, aka NEOCONS... all to PRESERVE THEMSELVES. I give you this, if you give us that CRAP. Double BAD DEALS!

He DOESN'T keep his hands to himself, in fact, he is in everybody's business but his own. He has singlehandedly turned the State of our Nation in to some sort of sick joke. He is no Richard Pryor, and he is no Dave Chapelle, and he sure as hell is no George Carlin, but he sure thinks he is.
Did you see him as "George Bush's Double"? It was disgusting. It is a whitewash. "George Bush is Dumb" "George Bush is a failure"

Try again Steve:
George Bush is wicked smart.
George Bush has achieved most everything he has set out to do- and in record time. Better than any of his "predecessors".
Actually, I think America turned itself into a sick joke long before Colbert came along. By that I mean: Voters who know nothing about the people for whom they vote; Government and its insane joke policies; and corporate American owned MSM that cannot bite the nad that feeds it so it goes along with non-news for the masses.

Have you clicked on the link? There was a guy that night that impersonated Bush that was George Bush's Double. That wasn't Stephen Colbert. The Bush Administration and the Press Corp absolutely did not know what Stephen Colbert was about when they let him do that. It was a huge mistake. The people in the room hated the speech and the media ignored it. Of course, the speech gained its popularity on the internet.

Again, it was one of the best speeches in American history. He slams the sitting President, the press corp (for their lack of questioning of the administration), and others in the room. They had no clue what hit them.

Ron Paul has been right, stuck to the issues, informed and warned the country of the eminent disasters. RP made COLBERT, et al look like a bunch of morons, which of course they're now hiding behind the comedian shield.

What wasn't appropriate was hiring him in the first place. They had no clue what Colbert was about, and that is their fault, not Colbert's. Colbert had to do what he did, otherwise he would have damaged his career. Maybe he shouldn't have accepted, but then again, that would have damaged his career. This speech is probably his most famous moment. The person to blame for this speech is Mark Smith, the man who invited Colbert without having a clue what he was about.

He was hired to make an audience laugh, and he did, just not the audience that hired him.

Time magazine TV critic James Poniewozik thought that Colbert's critics missed the point: "Colbert wasn't playing to the room, I suspect, but to the wide audience of people who would later watch on the Internet. If anything, he was playing against the room."

Stephen Colbert did his job that night, however, Mark Smith, did not. Colbert can't be blamed for this.

Uh, the Colbert of the Colbert report is a character. A fictional representation of Bill O'Reilly, multiplied by Sean Hannity and raised to the power of Rush Limbaugh. Colbert himself has described his fictional character as a well-meaning, sincere idiot. Anything that the Colbert character says on the show, can pretty much be interpreted as something the real-person Colbert finds absurd.

Would an amplified Bill O'Reilly have anything good to say about Ron Paul? If the Colbert character starts endorsing Ron Paul, then that would be the time to worry. The Colbert character calling Paul a crazy surrender-monkey means the real person Colbert thinks Paul is a righteous dude.

Where did I say it wasn't rude? Stephen Colbert (the character) IS rude. To expect anything different or light-hearted out of Colbert would have been silly. Of course, they didn't know much about him, so they didn't know what to expect.

Maybe he shouldn't have accepted the gig, but I doubt those 100 gigs he turns down a week present the career opportunity that the Correspondents dinner did. The speech was a huge success for Colbert's career, rude or not. How many offers does Colbert get to criticize the President and Press right to their face for 20 minutes uninterrupted, on national TV? I would assume he's received one of these offers in his life, not 100 a week.

Guest of honor? Maybe so, but why in the hell is the supposedly objective press holding a dinner glorifying the President. I find the whole event rude and despicable, much more than Colbert's speech. Thank God Colbert was there to call these people out at their own pathetic event, rude or not.

After the 2007 dinner, New York Times columnist Frank Rich implied that the Times will no longer participate in the dinners. Rich said that the event is "a crystallization of the press's failures in the post-9/11 era" because it "illustrates how easily a propaganda-driven White House can enlist the Washington news media in its shows."

I'm not sure I'm underestimating Colbert, as I also think he is quite possibly the most brilliant comedian alive today. I'm not sure what you were expecting out of Colbert's performance, as I found it to be pretty similar to his normal routine, except for the setting. His show is full of distasteful comments/acts. The Stephen Hawking (http://www.transbuddha.com/mediaHolder.php?id=2043) moment comes to mind. Or his, "I don't see color, but I know I'm white, because officers call me sir (or his numerous other reasons he knows he's white)."


Colbert was not invited there by the President. And the President was locked into a situation that required him to maintain the proper decorum by merely sitting there and not striking back. Bush was essentially a captive audience, and Colbert was nothing more than a loud mouthed bully.

Colbert IS nothing more than a loud-mouthed bully. He was not going to change for this performance. Again, he should have never been invited. Shouldn't the President be able to take a joke at his expense? Yes, the jokes did hit a little close to home, but they were about the horrible job this President has done, which is his own fault. If Bush wasn't so horrible, Colbert wouldn't have been nearly as funny. It's not Colbert's fault that Bush is an easy target.

I don't particularly care for rude either. but I also don't particularly care for this President or the press that covers him, and especially don't care for an event that glorifies both. Colbert's comments had a lot of truth(iness) to them. If it takes some rudeness to put this President and the press in their place, especially at an event glorifying both, well then I'm all for it.

These labels are smoke screens that the powers that be use to keep us divided, because they know if the people of this country were ever to be able to join together as one voice for change there is nothing they could do to stop it.

BTW get over yourself, if you check our join dates you will see that you and I joined these forums in the same month.

I would much rather have some comedians in charge than some of the jokers we have in Washington right now. (har har)

I never liked the Colbert Report. Its attack of the right got boring after first few weeks. Stephen Colbert himself admits he never was very much into politics, and his writers does the majority of the jokes.

He'll always be Chuck Noblet from Stangers In Candy to me. Great Show!

Have you listened to this man? HIS OWN WORDS are proof. WHO HE WORKS FOR is proof.
I have already spoken of perspective...
You tell me ONE thing Steven Colbert has done "in the name of Liberty" and "For the cause of Liberty".
If you can make a case, you will be able to argue his own words. ONE THING.



That's not a source. His show is a satirical fake news show.....a comedy.

His show isn't a show for political purposes, so why should someone list things he has done in the name of liberty when that's not the purpose of his comedy?

His show is entirely political, in case you didn't know, the original premise of his show was to satirize neocon television hosts. But now it has gone to just pushing blatant marxism.

I wish this was like Survivor, and we could vote people off the island for being repetitive and childish.....
