Stephen Colbert to become next president in Marvel Universe

[Plow]

what?

Jews are not the only faith of people in Israel, despite the heavy bias towards them there.

It's the world's only Jewish state, and was formed by separating the Jews (Israelis) from the Arabs (Palestinians).

Sure, maybe .0000000000001% of the population isn't Jewish.


But it is, by its own definition, "Homeland for the Jewish people."

[LD]

I think the point is he supposedly defends their policies, which is a dubious claim considering he's never said anything on the topic one way or the other and has frequently ripped on the... inconsistencies of his own culture and occasionally Israel itself.

Also, how could any of us know if Jon were a dick in real life?

[Maxxthepenguin]

iirc he's actually talked about how ludicrous it is that we don't criticize Israel.

He's never come across as strongly pro-Israel. He's actually pointed out how ludicrous it is that we can't criticize Israel. I think the quote was "Even Israel criticizes Israel more than the US". Churchill is just trying to be oh so controversial.

That's kind of a duh comment though, referring to the huge debate going on within Israel about rather it should be "less Jewish," and the self-absorbed American outlook of people thinking the whole world thinks about America first.

they need to make him president, if I can't have him for a real president, at least I can have him as a comic book president!


lol can you imagine when he found out about this?

Not Churchill! He's always so meek unassuming.

to the person saying Colbert's a nice guy and Stuart's a dick, based on what I've read from interns that worked on the Colbert Report, Colbert's an egomaniacal douche. everyone I've talked to or read about that interned on the Daily Show said Stuart was really fun to work with, talked with them before every show, all around cool guy.

[Null]

Exactly what I was thinking when I read that about Stewart. Anyway, just hoping to get the topic back on topic. Funny to see something about Colbert turn into a debate about Jew's and Israel.

Wait until it becomes about religion or rather how evil it is.

[Kuya]

Then you'll know what true pointlessness is.

[Obev]

Religion contains a lot of truthiness. Discuss.

[Rhinox]

Religion is the Opiate of the people.

[Obev]

If Colbert makes president, this will be the opiate of the people: The only over-the-counter prescription opioid endorsed by President Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.

I thought it was the other way around.

I've met John in real life, and he was a really nice guy. I can't speak for Colbert tho.

[ZarakiKujata]

Both Colbert and Stewart seem like nice guys IRL.
Also Stewart gave shit to all 3 candidates this cycle for pandering to AIPAC.
"Since when is it unpatriotic to not criticize Israel in this country. You know where its patriotic to criticize Israel? Israel.", and he cuts to footage of some MP in the Knesset owning bitches. Israel is a Jewish state, while its non-Jewish population isnt .00000001% as another poster said its remarkably hard to have any rights as an Israeli Arab (they aren't called Israel Palestinians since that would acknowledge they have rights to the land)

[LD]

I'm sure Stephen Colbert is an egomaniac, but the question is if the actor who plays him, Stephen Colbert, is the same way.

[Ksandra]

there's the big kicker.

for one, I don't think stewart is a jerk irl, while I admit I haven't met him personally, every article I've read people praise him as actually being a really nice guy that jokes around a lot.


As for Colbert, I can imagine it's hard for him. I once saw an interview once where he was actually being his real self and talking about the character "Colbert". The real Colbert seems to be a more down to earth person, but of course his character is a egomaniac. I can imagine sometimes on set it's hard to see which is the real him when he's playing his part.

[Souj]

He was in Strangers With Candy before the daily show. or during, idk. havnt really ever seen the show, cause it looked pretty stupid. dunno how he acts in that show either so.. just stating a random fact I guess.

[LD]

SWC was great. In a way, his character on there was a precursor to his character on the Colbert Report.

[Ksandra]

on a random note. I miss these two ;_;
