3. You do realize that Colbert was being satirical and was, in fact,
saying the same thing Stewart was by mocking the ugly discourse and anger in this nation, don't you? Stewart and Colbert had a unified message.

6. Of course I do
I was using it as metaphor. But I guess that's to cerebal for some here.
But Colbert's Faux message of fear and ignorance is capturing more voters this election than Stewart's rational one.

4. Depends on the people. We will not follow. Although we are open to
