Some of the most poignant criticisms of Fox News happen to come from Stephen Colbert vehemently defending Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly.
On Thursday night's "Colbert Report," Stephen backed up O'Reilly's "airtight" logic that America is in decline because President Obama is too focused on "equality." (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/oreilly/2014/03/31/bill-oreilly-equality-and-presidents-falling-poll-numbers)
"I will never have equality with my fellow Irishman Shaquille O'Neal he is bigger and stronger than I am by nature... Each human being is born with abilities. But they are not equal abilities," O'Reilly said.

I disagree with O'Reilly when he's a neo-con, but that clown Colbert lives in a fantasy land where everyone is precisely the same. Has anyone told him that it's the top "1%" who pushes equality of outcome?

So does the entire Hollywood. If you feel threatened then I don't know how to help you.

Have you realized that his whole show is just to mock Bill oreilly, and he does a damn good job of it. I don't care if hes a liberal, again its satire. The only thing you can hold against satire is if it isn't funny, and Colbert is usually hilarious.

O'Reily was 60% correct and Colbert was spot on to call O'Reily out on the other 40%. What's the point? It's obvious that liberals are talking about social equality rather than physical.

Oh, my mistake. I thought Oreilly and Colbert were talking about the distribution of wealth.
