Well fuck him then…I'm more offended at the hypocrisy then the stupid joke.

Yeah you're right Bill Clinton took some bad positions so I guess he's just as bad as Trump….no point in voting or trying to do better we should just work on getting comedians fired.

Please, please, please don't give me the "both sides are equally bad" argument. Dems aren't perfect but they made real progress in healthcare, criminal justice reform, climate change and Trump is rolling all that shit back. Instead of rolling around being the language police we need to talking more about how Trump's…

We liberals are our own distraction. The problems is these purity tests don't actually resolve anything. Person says bad thing, liberals get outraged, person apologizes(or not), liberals move on to the next person who said a thing. We aren't taking steps to solve any real issues or even having any honest dialog and…

You know what matters more then black people's feelings? What people like Trump, Jeff Sessions and Betsy DeVos are going to do to black communities over the next 4 years. Yet this stupid Bill Maher outrage will get more attention and mindshare from liberals then most of the shit policies the Trump administration is…

Never happen, Bill Maher has spent years telling liberals not to apologize. If anything he'll use this as an opportunity to prove his point.

The issue is liberals spend far to much time going after targets who largely agree with them like Maher when they should be spending their energy trying to tell the "whites without a college education" why they need to vote. Wokesplaning on why Bill Maher should be fired isn't gonna change one vote in 2018 or 2020.

This is correct. Bill Maher makes an off color offensive joke and the internet goes crazy for a few days. Jeff Sessions roles back Justice Department consent decrees and it gets no where near the same coverage or reaction even though it will undoubtedly have a much bigger negative impact on the lives of African…

You have to keep in mind this interview is from September 2015 before Trump was considered a "serious" candidate by anybody. I'm sure if Colbert had any idea what was to come he would have been harsher.

Yes he's acted like a dick at times but he's also publicly expressed remorse so it's a bit of a misrepresentation to say he's refused to express a shred of responsibility.

Their are a lot of convicted felon celebrities that we still let do TV interviews. I'm not saying Chris Brown is a good guy but he should a least be give the opportunity at redemption. John Lennon beat women too and he was able to grow from his experiences and become a better person. I just don't think the approach of…

In other words the staff says "we can't" have Chris Brown on the show…

His statement in response to this is a mirror of the official statement from Comedy Central so obviously on the same page. I won't make any predictions as to how long he'll last because that would be stupid but I will predict most of the so called progressive blogs covering this will be the same outlets posting his…

Comedy Central doesn't and shouldn't use Twitter has their baseline for deciding whether or not to hand the keys to the Daily Show to Trevor Noah.

I was referring to the idea the previous comment made implying Noah hasn't been successful so the point isn't whether on not I or you personally think he's funny it's that he is in fact very popular.

I think the lesson Trevor Noah really needs to learn it's never okay to make fun of a person's being….unless of course they disagree with you politically then they're completely fair game.

"So far, *nothing* of Noah's I've see thus far equates to anything that funny or successfully funny on a large scale."

I wouldn't know because. I AM A BLACK PERSON!!!!

God Damnit, Toasterlad you're the only one in here making sense. I do accept the possibility that the success of 12 Years a Slave could have hurt Selma, however I reject the idea that this is necessarily racist since the academy makes arbitrary decisions like this every year. They gave Scorsese an Oscar for The…

Doesn't the fact that this is the whitest Oscars in years speak more to the fact that this year is an anomaly as opposed to the standard? Which is pretty much my point.
