"I can't quite understand what Colbert was trying to say."
He doesn't say anything, ever. His show is just a perpetual caricature, because to his mindset, there is no debate: the left is on the side of reality, and the right are villains.
And if you've seen him on interviews, he won't ever respond with any substance, it's entirely snark and sarcasm. He really is the ultimate liberal douche.

I can't quite understand what Colbert was trying to say. If, indeed, there -was- anything there. I don't think the audience knew what he was talking about either, which is probably the ideal audience for him.

While I often disagree with him, Stewart can at least sometimes see the absurdity coming from his side, and use it for laughs.
Colbert is just pathetic, a Low Information comic playing to a Low Information Audience.

I thought Stewart was a comedian. When did he get demoted to journalist?

Stewart, the other night, was so pathetic that he tried to cover up for Obama by reaching way back to Ronald Reagan and "Iran Contra" (best said in a whiny, drawn-out, liberal tone.)

Colbert is an asshole, wasting the planet's supply of oxygen by his unfettered breathing.

You do realize that for both of them, it is an act. Colbert is playing a role and is not really a right wing nut.
