For years I’ve noticed a lack of awareness about comedy from many conservitives (okay, I’ve laughed at one or two Republican jokes). Liberal and conservitive brains are different, and that is not opinion but actual research.

Arariel: The poll was done by researchers at the Ohio State University, not solely at the University (which is the largest in the world BTW).

Kyle: Take the others’ advice…

Otherwise, I find it hard to believe that most conservatives believe that Colbert is serious…although if they do maybe natural selection will weed them out…

What do you expect from people who think the earth is only 6000 years old? Critical thinking skills based on evidence?

I do know someone this stupid, but I think this study wasn’t performed very well. First of all, they polled in a single state, at a university. That’s a very small portion of the population. To compare conservatives to the 44(?) at OSU, would be like comparing Americans in general to the 20% who still believe Bush did a great job. Second, the poll was a bit… unintelligent in itself, because I know if I had been polled, I would have said, Yes, I’m a conservative, and yes, Colbert is serious, just to make conservatives in general to look like idiots. I’m not a very nice person, and I’m also not bipartisan or conservative.

@kyle: Follow kj’s advice. For humanity’s sake. Please.

This just in: Poll-takers don’t know that conservatives aren’t being serious when polled about Steven Colbert.

If you look at the quote:
“Conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements.”

It states that both sides think what they want. Conservs take it as pretend, libs take it as joking, and Colbert makes the cash. Smart man that colbert
