Why does Al Franken hate our troops? The real questions: Why do people believe that anyone who questions the war is anti-troops? Where do they get this twisted logic, Sean Hannity?

why do you hate our troop JP?

Josh, you're a great American. (heh)

Boy, I hope my sarcastic nod to Sean Hannity doesn't undermine the troops!

Sarcasm is angers ugly brother.

Sean Hannity is Sean Hannity's brother's ugly brother. I think Colbert is funny but I would love to staple that rogue ear to the side of his head.

Interesting why did you chose a staple? I believe a brad nail may be more effective.

I work with materials immediately in my vicinity. Like Chuck Norris, I turn normally safe objects into deadly weapons. Also, Brad Nails are for fags.

Josh, if you're seriously asking why I hate the troops, you're lucky I restrained myself to sarcasm. The attempt to silence dissent by faux patriotism is despicable. I'm hoping you aren't serious, there's too much of that nonsense going on these days in America.

Interesting that you apparently failed to note the "callers" asking questions of Mr. Franken were all staff from the Colbert Report. You really *did* know that, right?

JP- Thank you for refraining from the dreaded all caps yelling, however if you don't hate our troops why don't you simply say so.

Mr. Chops.-It is also interesting how you failed to note Mr. Franken has been the first guest not sitting back completely afraid of what Stephen may say to him. The whole thing was obviously planed with teleprompters. The fact the show is not live makes it extreamly difficult to do the call in. They are on cable television which would sugest had they been live calls they would go through a screening process. I do in fact know that the callers were not real. That being said...I completely believe that those were real phone calls. Do I criticize your completely fictional religion?

I wish google had a way of marking web pages, "too dumb to be believed." This pages actually came up second when I searched Google news for 'Al Franken'.

Sorry if that last post sounds attacky.

I appreciate this blog for answering a long standing question. I'm a big fan of Colbert and I've always wondered, if there are people out there who don't know its a parody. It seemed there could be rare individually impossible as it seems who fall for his "self-righteous characture" and ignore the tongue in cheek mockery of other notorious figures who blatantly use the same techniques.

Of course Steven has never had a real callers on his show. His staged calls are I think one of his funniest bits. In his first week, the "He's just not into you guy" fell didn't get the calls were fake, and got so angry at Steven for contradicting his advice. It was wonderful.

Mr. Franken must not have much happening in the news. When I ran "Stephen Colbert" on Google news, this story did not show up until half way through the second.

Thank you "Frank" for your additional comment. I go about reviewing the Colbert Report in a way that will make people believe they have to watch it to really understand it.

On another note have you ever wanted to put a L in Mr. Franken's name (Franklen) or is that just me?

Many male liberals hate the troops because they have no chance of having intercourse with them. The remaining male liberals just feel their counterparts pain.

why can we never have conversations about male liberals without have to bring in homosexuality?
