Question about Colbert/Stewart

[agp423]

No need to get into a big political argument over here, just one simple question: are Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart both democrats?

Re: Question about Colbert/Stewart

Stewart is clearly, without a doubt, a democrat.

Stephen Colbert is a democrat, pretending to be an ignorant republican mocking the democrats, making fun of the republicans.

From time to time, Stephen appears to associate himself with certain republican elites to gain popularity and to discreetly spread his liberalism to the republicans.

In the end, neither person has any true political belief. They are just comedians who are hired to read scripts in front of the cameras. They are simply in the show biz for the money.

I think Stewart is more or less as he appears and not just a teleprompter reader.

I agree.

Although Stewart is clearly more passionate about political issues than Colbert, he is being overshadowed by his ex-correspondent.

They're both Democrats, but I'm sure that neither of them carry blue voter cards. They may tend to align themselves more with the Donkey side, but if the Elephants came up with a good idea I'm sure they'd back it.

LOL I have a feeling that this little discussion is a little on the edge!

It might eventually get locked by the moderator!

Yeah let's bring this back on track. A year or so ago when I started watching these shows regularly, I loved Colbert and didn't like Steward as much. But now after having been watching both shows for a while, Colbert's jokes got old... They're all "I'm rich and I'm fine, forget about the poor" and it got old after a while.

I've been watching both since their inceptions. You are right, many people get tired of Colbert's jokes. I don't particularly find him funny. I blame his producer and script writer for that.

I truly admire Stewart's enthusiasm about politics. I don't agree with much of things he says, but he is a true patriot. I never really understand why Colbert is more popular than Stewart. Colbert was rated by a man's magazine as the most influential person in the world, out of a list of around a hundred, with Brad Pitt being somewhere in the middle.

Not sure if you notice, when Colbert and Stewart have a little conversation right between their shows, Colbert always mocks Stewart, and Stewart does nothing other than take to the jokes up his butt. Colbert's arrogance towards hosts of other television shows and his guests literally turned me away from his show.

Colbert also explicitly and publicly expresses his distaste towards Jon Stewart. He claims that Stewart treated him like a dog while he was working as a show correspondent at The Daily Show by Jon Stewart. Colbert has clearly forgotten that his fame comes from Jon Stewart. Without Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, the Colbert Report wouldn't exist.

Just about all television is Democrat these days.

Jay, Conan, Jimmy ,etc.

Letterman claims to be Independent though.

Colbert reminds me of Ari Gold from Entourage, and pretty much every character Jeremy Piven plays (powerful businessman or rich agent). It's really entertaining when Jeremy Piven acts like an arrogant powerful man, but Colbert... eh... it's funny from time to time.

They both have shows on COMEDY CENTRAL

Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Colbert Report

Re: Question about Colbert/Stewart

I'm not a fan of either. I don't really appreciate political comedy, it's fairly repetitive and not much of a laughing matter in my opinion. Colbert seems rather smug and pretentious from my perspective, while I liked Stewart more when he was doing stand-up comedy in the early 90's.

Both political comedians, check them out on Comedy Central, you wouldn't regret it!
