When someone Arabic has something to do with the video, they automatically think he's a terrorist. And You know what I realized after watching this video..
That either people that say such comments read less than 10 books in their life (excluding the ones you were forced to read in high school because let's face it, we all know you didn't go to college) or just choose to be hateful and ignorant..
@roxor1080 wat da fuck is tajik . why isnt he not jst AFGHAN
ooh let me guess coz he bashed the pashtoons by describing them as pedophiles, homesexuals and evil doers ... a person who has never spent a single day in afghanistan yet covers 2 decades with his fantasies .. fuck you and fuck khalid hussieni that racist prick.. this book and the film doesn't say anything about the real culture of afghanistan .. tajiks dont even make up 25% of afghanistan so shut da fuck up
how can anyone say Khaled is a hatemonger?? He's done all he can to help the people of Afghanistan and Darfur. His English is wonderful and what little slang was meant in jest. He's lived here most of his life. Geez, if anyone is showing hate, it's not him. He shows love and respect and truth.
He's just trying to joke with Colbert, and Colbert was prepared to roll with it and keep the humor going, which is WHY he is the "MC" of that event. Would you miss a chance to avoid a dryly serious speech and instead get the Colbert machine fired up with a little humorous provocation. Pleeeezzzeeee. That was funny.
again, colbert rails against conservative banality. kite runner is sp boring and painfully contrived. suited for com. college classrooms run by hysteric english teachers who lap up cheap emotional devices. anyone with a decent grasp of english and intent could produce a generic Hosseini style soap opera.
No I don't because if i did i would've thrown in an insult to Republicans. I'm playing, I actually did think he was Republican, but now that you mention it, it does make sense that he isn't Conservative, because the few times i saw the Colbert Report he seemed to exaggerate his views.
Stephen Colbert is playing a character. He plays the role of a philistine conservative. That's why the people were laughing see. If that really went over your head then you aren't exactly an "Ace".
i guess bart simpsons's the fag i was just regurgitating an old joke from a simpsons epsode which apparently allowed you to determine my sexual preference. i would make fun of you but judging by the fact your name includes "final fantasy" i have a feeling all the bullies at school probably tormented you enough, and while shoved in locker's for all those hours you grew angry at the world, which is why you make comments to people you dont know. shouldnt you be in a WoW battle right now nerd?

ok, so your saying since you dont play pc games your not a nerd? haha thats rationalization if i ever heard it. trust me you are a nerd, your screen name is a video game and you think saying someone plays pac-man is an insult. it might have been insulting if i was a nerd like you, who knows everything about video games. i dont even know what "viva pinata" is, but im sure you or another member of the nerd heard can enlighten me. and by the way, you have to have wit to be outwitted, which you dont
and one more thing, your first comment was an alligation, so i guess by your own admission your a faggot. i cant wait to see how you'll shove your foot in your mouth with your next comment, bravo moron!

So sorry i hope the next rape will be made to be glamour enough for you. the kite runner is an amazing book . story of love , genuine love between two human being
@batain You make a good point. More generally on that, he is one of those successful persons who refuses to pander, and he "does" what he "is", so to speak. He therefore is genuine, and worth it to people who go for that. That's why he can have the luxury of "knowing" his audience, since they have the luxury of knowing him. His goodness is quite apparent.
ummm you guys need to calm down. they were joking. it was a joke calm down. colbert is a comedian. comedians make jokes.....colbert his hilarious because his jokes are famous. you cannot get all defensive about one thing just because u happene to like that thing. hes a comedian who makes fun of all politics just like jon stewart
steph sounds like white trash that donno nothing about the world around him. he thinks that world ends in the studio where his show is being hold. that's y he can't relate to the rest of the world.
he trashed Khaleds books becuz he was angry then he needs to go get some anger management classes and see some counselor cuz the 2 books he published are THE BEST and i've read both of them.
where is his rag? colbert is a dipshit who doesn't know why - and is a worhipper of john "shithead" stewart...and ANYONE could "beat" colbert in a funnier debate...only john stewart is more stupid than steveee colberttt...well, maybe this rag guy, khalid "mo" husseinee, but no one else is stupider except maybe you people who comment and give this video a positive...funny shit this guy...? NOT
Khaled Hosseini hates ethnic Afghans, who are called Pashtoons! He himself belongs to the Qazilbash tribe (with Turkish Shia roots) that came from Iran 200 years ago. He should excuse because people like him (Qizilbash), that are employed in the Afghan administration until today profited from the Farsi-centrated education and political system in Afghanistan. The true Afghan language (Pashto) and the ethnic Afghans (Pashtoons) were oppressed.

Get over it tyserx. How about comment on what he said, not the little name he called Americans. And yes, like BoojumFed, you called him limey, so how about you kill yourself along with him, if you're just like him?
Haha...nevermind. A premature reply by me before the recording had gotten very far. Well I'll be damned, Colbert does have a five o'clock shadow. Why doesn't he sport one more often? It looks really good on him.
Now I'm kind of embarrassed to have posted two comments regarding Stephen Colbert's facial hair, even if it is glorious.
Because it's a masculine statement. Girls are attracted to anything masculine, even when it's only subconsciously. That's how they're programmed by nature.
Anyway, I loved Stephen's response. To me, he's amazingly intelligent and witty and spontaneous.
...um,SHUT THE FUCK UP. "they're programmed by nature" ? wow! congratulations! I'm sure it took you a whole 2 seconds to come up with that authoritative analysis of what women want. I've never written sexist comments on youtube before because I know how idiotic, and easily dismissed they are, and because I'm not sexist! But with all the bullshit I see

Ayn Rand spoke brilliantly when she identified the twin evils of Altruism and Mysticism which run rampant in the Arab world. This Husseini person merely took advantage of American Altruism to spread his mysticist filth.
Search for the Leonard Peikoff vid about Iran for the rational way to deal with the threat.
The only people who like Ayn Rand are those with such a low self esteem that the only thing they can be proud of is the fact that they are white. Because they never achieved anything worthy, they are clinging to their so called "Ethical superiority".
i dont know where in the 'west' you're from, but the truth is america has been an immigrants nation for a long time. and that includes muslims with apparently scary names.
wow, and I didn't think there'd ever be a reason to watch C-SPAN, nonetheless C-SPAN 2! And is it just me or is Hosseini's voice similar to a computerized text to speech voice?
I was in a class one time with a young woman from Iran who thought the Kite Runner was bull.

I don't know if its a distortion in the film or a real five o'clock shadow, but whatever it is, it's hot.

Haha...nevermind. A premature reply by me before the recording had gotten very far. Well I'll be damned, Colbert does have a five o'clock shadow. Why doesn't he sport one more often? It looks really good on him.
Now I'm kind of embarrassed to have posted two comments regarding Stephen Colbert's facial hair, even if it is glorious.

Haha, girls. They sure love the shadow. They say they don't, but I always have more luck with them when I've got one.

Because it's a masculine statement. Girls are attracted to anything masculine, even when it's only subconsciously. That's how they're programmed by nature.
Anyway, I loved Stephen's response. To me, he's amazingly intelligent and witty and spontaneous.

...um,SHUT THE FUCK UP. "they're programmed by nature" ? wow! congratulations! I'm sure it took you a whole 2 seconds to come up with that authoritative analysis of what women want. I've never written sexist comments on youtube before because I know how idiotic, and easily dismissed they are, and because I'm not sexist! But with all the bullshit I see

people (males) leave on youtube posts, It gets pretty old, so I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you- YOU, all you comment box misogynists- to do the ENTIRE world a favor and cut off your dicks, 'cause ass holes like you make the world a pretty shitty place for girls like me to walk down the street IN THE DAY TIME OR AT NIGHT because some shit-head's got the idea that I'm attracted to all things masculine (which is just as much a stereo type as any feminine status quo- DUH),

even when I don't think I am. Go die. And after you do that, and all you misogynists are castrated, there will only be the good ones to fuck. The guys that don't make broad, generalized assumptions about women, but who actually, uh, talk to them and actually ask, you know, ACTUAL WOMEN how they feel. The guys who are very un-masculine. Fucking youtube...

You're complaining about the word 'Yank', and you're defending your position by calling them 'Limey'?

He even said in the speech he's a huge fan of Colbert, so I dunno how anyone could have mistaken that.

Thats not really arguing. Hosseini has always been a big fan of Colbert. They're just kidding around. It's all in good fun.

It is a dark day when someone named Khalid Husseini is show cased on a Book convention (of all things) in the West.

O Arbiter of All Things Sufficiently Western, as a favor to those of us who think we might learn something from a best-selling author who came to the US as a refugee, can you intermix more base stupidity with your online provocations in the future?

Ayn Rand spoke brilliantly when she identified the twin evils of Altruism and Mysticism which run rampant in the Arab world. This Husseini person merely took advantage of American Altruism to spread his mysticist filth.
Search for the Leonard Peikoff vid about Iran for the rational way to deal with the threat.

The only people who like Ayn Rand are those with such a low self esteem that the only thing they can be proud of is the fact that they are white. Because they never achieved anything worthy, they are clinging to their so called "Ethical superiority".

wow, and I didn't think there'd ever be a reason to watch C-SPAN, nonetheless C-SPAN 2! And is it just me or is Hosseini's voice similar to a computerized text to speech voice?
