    unreal!

    Apples and oranges.

    Fact is that liberals are the ones that ask how can a conservative listen to Pearl Jam? How can a conservative like the Daily Show? That in itself shows who the open-minded ones are, and the close-minded ones.

    close-minded would be all the generalized labels that get thrown around

    that whole mindset is bullshit

    What the hell is wrong with you people?

    Arguing over who is more tolerant? Holy crap...you sound like 4 year-olds...

    'I'm more tolerant"

    "No, I'm more tolerant"

    "NOOOOOO, I'm more tolerant"

    "MOMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    Yeah -- let's have a much more important argument about who's funnier -- liberals or conservatives. ;)

    Actually, I have a hard time imagining a conservative equivalent of The Daily Show and the Colbert Report. But then, my most tenacious stereotype of conservatives is that they're not all that funny (they certainly have no sense of irony).

    South Park definitely tilts right on some issues, and I laugh when they do. Someone mentioned Blue Collar TV, and I think of them as being socially conservative, but I like them too. (Though there is the very real possibility that I'm laughing AT them, not WITH them.)

    I'm no conservative, no American either, but I like the show. Last nights episopde was quite funny, I liked Colbert's rant at the end most.

    On the Daily Show last night, I couldn't stop laughing at the "analysis" of the election actually being some sinister plot masterminded by Karl Rove.

    Exactly. Where is the "politically correct" bullshit coming from? Conservatives? Nope. It's the liberals who can't take a joke.

    conservative humor = Dennis Miller, Rush's rants, etc...

    while they may possess some comedic qualities it's nowhere near the Colbert standard

    Glenn Beck is hilarious but it's completely unintentional, same with Bill Kristol, Brit Hume and those types

    I think the really funny thing is that there is no such thing as a liberal party in the states, I mean the democrats are really just the lesser of two evils but compared to anywhere else they are pretty right wing. I guess it's all relative. Besides anyone who has seen re. Fred Phelps knows that conservatives are hilarious, God hates fags? too funny.

    I've never seen the Colbert Report but I get a kick out of the Daily Show. It's always good for a laugh.

    are you sure this isn't because you agree with him? I like Dennis leary and all but his shit is the same, rant rant rant something is funny, and it is funny but it gets tiresome, I mean the Colbert Report is a modern day "modest proposal" it's light years ahead of Miller and Leary. I appreciate their trying and all but that is like me playing tennis with Roger Federer, I might be good(ish) but it's a mismatch all the way

    Wrong...dennis leary is god.

    Colbert is funny but hes not hysterical; and also he doesnt do standup.

    Yeah our Conservative Party of Canada would be at the very best a moderate party down South....the NDP would be deemed Communists down south.....
