You're all aware that if those guys take over the country you'll see concentration camp, right?
This is no laughing matter, you're very possibly reading the next "mein kampf".
Hyperbole, much? The Republicans have had dominance over the country before, and for all of their bad polices I get the feeling they'd have some dissent if they started building concentration camps for whatever reason.

Fortunately not all republicans are of the texan/tea-party type. Else it would not be so much of an hyperbole.

Unless of course... they get clear and proper cause....

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Not a good day to be British.

I'll get more concerned when they start proposing things that are possible.

Hey, don't think just because you're winning the race to 1984 means we aren't right behind you nipping at your heels. In fact I also found a whole thread on it:

I don't mean "it won't get through parliament" so much as "what they are suggesting is completely impossible given their budget and the amount of internet traffic in the UK".  I guess they might have a rethink and come up with a proposal that is actually doable eventually.

Could you link me to whatever clip this was on his website? Hulu isn't watchable outside the states, unfortunately.

Really, the Colbert Report is always better when there are liberal changes than when there are conservative ones. When conservative changes happen Steven just satirizes them. When liberal changes happen, well, you get things like that episode.

Granted to a point, but you have to recognize the contribution Fox New's irresponsible misinformation reporting played in the greatness of this episode. It was from this that all those "Dewey Defeats Truman" jokes have been running around from.

It wasn't just Fox, all the news stations reported it struck down.

They probably copied it from Fox in the first place.
