What a piece of trash. I guess I could understand that he's just a southern simpleton, but now, using the word "uppity" to describe Obama and then claiming later, when questioned, that he had no idea at all that it had any racist meaning--unbelievable.
this is why religion needs to go away, as it sadly has become a haven for people who just don't want to develop their minds. I'm an atheist, but the sad thing is, I know more about the factual information of the faith than people who would say they are devout. I came to be an atheist about the same time I figured out that Santa and the Easter bunny weren't real, religion just seemed as made up to me. you just have to come up with so many contrivances to back up religious claims.
I'll just proove my point. I'll try to sound off as many of the commandments as I can off the top of my head, without Googling them. they prob won't be in order: 1) no other gods except the Yahweh/Jehovah one 2) obey/honor parents 3) honor Sabbath 4) don't bear false witness (lie) 5) don't covet neighbor's goods 6) don't covet neighbor's wife 7) no murder 8) no adultery 9) no stealing 10) don't take the Lord's name in vain (swearing)
this is typical of the religious right...many of them (see example) are merely bowing to the religious community simply to win favor..but in actualilty could give a rats ass about what their beliefs...great example, thank you for exposing this fake..
Probably the biggest laugh I've had on the show. That being said, what is going on with the text and music? I left my Colbert to German dictionary at home.
I wish that the network news would read aloud the Ten Commandments whenever this issue is raised.
I'm sure the one about coveting your neighbor's wife or ass would raise a few eyebrows!
The first commandment is a clear violation against the separation of church and state.
It's bad enough that we let them change the wonderful E Pluribus Unum with "In Gawd We Trust" during the hysterical 50s. As well as adding "so help me Gawd" to the pledge.
Honestly, that ignorant congressman is a good example of the religious nuts out there !!!! I have asked numerous church-going, bible-thumping people to name the 10 commandments and not one, NOT ONE has ever been able to name them all.
I think I voted for him.
