Stephen go back is going to be replacing David Letterman conservatives are
flipping
out David Letterman has been hosted the Late Show with David Letterman on CBS
since 1993
and previous to that he hosted the late-night
worker just a guess it late-night not the late-night Late Night with David
Letterman on NBC
from 1982 to 1993 he announced he will be retiring in 2015
and immediately the speculation started about who might replace him very quickly
Stephen cold air was considered the top candidate
that was eventually confirmed by CBS
he will continue on the Kobe Report on Comedy Central until 2015
and then we'll switch over to hosting David Letterman's current show
this is fascinating what's going on David Letterman is mostly
non-political on his program although he has made statements in the last few
years
that show he leans left ready is taking a made if the statement against the Iraq
war he's made
some statements that show is clearly no conservative clearly no phantom George W
Bush
and now Kobe RUV course plays a rightwing character on his program it
obviously
a liberal satire above conservative ideology
and right-wingers are just flipping out about the choice by CBS to hire cold
there
rush limbaugh was asked about it here's what he had to say
active in the short version CBS's just declared war on the heartland of America
there is a not adheres
no longer is commonly going to be a
covert assault on
traditional American values conservative knowledge is white out in the open
it isn't it what this higher
means is a redefinition what is funny and a redefinition was comedy
and it's a good it some there they're blowing up
the 1130 format under the guise of the world's changing
and people don't want to come accommodated
that Carson gamers or even later manana want that anymore
its p.m. it's also funny that he talks about how
this isn't johnny carson he kinda remembers very very romantic
romanticize the way the days and Johnny Carson Johnny Carson was a liberal by
the way
and also Stephen Co bears life story
is pretty conservative he's married he had been married twenty one years no
scandals that we know of
unlike both David Letterman and rush limbaugh which of course are
a pro-family right this is what they say they they're not supposed to have these
kind over
interpersonal scandals he's a family man with three children he's probably
the pie with I would guess the first practicing Christian to be hosting a
late night show he teaches Sunday school
and its Catholic Church Bill O'Reilly though not too happy about this bill
O'Reilly also upset about Steven Colby are being chosen to replace david
liderman here's what bill Riley had the same
of that mister cool there is a deceiver
I strongly believe in fighting for quality and also believe institutional
bias
should be against the law what I R police
his government trying to in polls equality because
every human being is different may be cold air should take a look at China and
the former Soviet Union to see just how
the imposition of the quality really works how does that even make sense how
he wants institutional bias
to be against the law but he doesn't want government imposing
equality how does institutional bias
b.com against the law without the government creating that wise it magic
is it
how would bill o'reilly explain that is essentially saying
there should really be a law against that but I am opposed to the government
making laws like that
II I just don't understand that and Ben Shapiro who has been a guest on this
program
his thoughts on this were completely laughable
he says that what Co bear does in character
amounts to I'm not kidding here conservative black face
which is quote racist against conservatives
he says this routine in which co bear plays
at conservatism in order to perch ray it as unending Lee
ugly should be labeled for what it is vile political black face when Kobe
airplanes Co bear
it's not merely mockery year satire spoof
it's something far nastier and here's where it goes completely off the rails
black base which has an ugly history dating back to at least the 15th century
according to historian John strasbourg are was used to portray demeaning and
horrifying stereotypes have blacks
and this is precisely what Co bear does with regard to politics
he engages in conservative base
I i don't even know what to say it's just amazing what i'd
what I did think I've though is this since when does conservative right-wing
satire and parody
even work I would argue that conservative ideology
at its base just doesn't lend itself to the type of humor
that is on Saturday Night Live that is the Daily Show the Kobe report and even
the type of humor that is
late-night comedy stand-up television type variety shows that we're talking
about here
there are conservative comedians I've never encountered one that I find
genuinely funny
and remember that half our news hour on Fox News which was supposed to be the
right wing response
to a programs like the Daily Show
its on YouTube you can find some clips it's pretty heinous
Ben Shapiro is right about one thing though it is basically impossible to
distinguish between the stuff Kobe are says
and the stuff that actual conservatives say for example when will Glenn Beck
said
when i cn 9/11 victim family on television or whatever
I'm just like holeshot up I'm so sick give them because they're always
complaining
that an actual quote ronald reagan quote
facts are stupid things in tie taken
if it's a legitimate *** the female body has a way a
to try to shut that whole thing down. rush limbaugh
feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the
mainstream
society and then here's one of my favorite Bill O'Reilly
after he went to a restaurant in harlem and I couldn't get over the fact that
there was no difference between sylvia's restaurant
and any other restaurant in New York City I mean it was exactly the same even
though it's run by blacks
primarily black patrons ship there wasn't one person in Sylvia's
who was screaming and therefor I want more iced tea
and lastly Ann Coulter I think women should be armed but should not vote
women have no capacity to understand how money is earned
they have a lot of ideas on how to spend it it's always more money on education
more money on child care more money
on daycare remember the culture wars that the Conservatives always talk about
our wars that only conservatives are waging
outside of that it's the natural shift in public opinion towards things like
marriage equality reducing wealth inequality
all that stuff that is not a culture war the culture wars what is being waged
