Colbert report reports on AK with out anti-gun nonsense

[ganymede]

I was suprised and delighted to see the show talk about the AK without all the bias you would expect from a far left wing comedy show. there might hae been a few tongue in cheek jokes, but for the most part they kept it nuetral.

here is a link to the clip. Warning, it may contain coarse language.

Don't they not make kids read Swift in school anymore. It is freaking satire people.

 

[ganymede]

yes, the show is satirical, but i didn't hear much gun bashing in the satire.

Surprisingly neutral for Colbert...

I loved Pike's response to Colbert's comparison of the AK to Windows. "No, it's more reliable than that."

 

[ganymede]

^ yeah that made me laugh

 

[MagnumDweeb]

Eh the little bias in it was drowned out by the rest of the bit really. Colbert tried to get in WMD with the Washinton Post and saying "made a killing figuratively and literally." Yeah we get it, the gun model has been used to kill lots of people, used by people who were evil murderers and rapists. John Pike tried his best and did a fine job as far as he could go.

Funny. I wonder if that was real or a stage prop. If it's real he swept the whole audience.

i much prefer Colbert to Rush...he doesn't take himself as seriously and admitts that he is entertainment

 

[BHP FAN]

I like Stewart better. He's funnier,and he's an out front lefty.

 

[rugerdude]

stage prop

 

[Kimber45acp]

That thing is definitely real. I would have fieldstripped it right there on his desk

you might be right...but then he's not running for office

I finally got around to watching the video just now, and it was full of anti-gun BS. Images of any firearm married to the name "Osama bin Laden" are astonishingly destructive to the entire Second Amendment cause.

Colbert was doing what any anti-gunner does: Trying to blur the line between a tool and its operator -- the whole foundation of the anti-gun argument.
