25. Actually, he is a known liberal

But I figured those who were anointing him as God of comedy during the RNC were going to be calling him the Devil during the DNC. Face it, his job is comedy. That the Republicans consistently provide better fodder doesn't mean that the Democrats don't deserve a bit of ribbing from time to time.

Geez, we are a thin skinned lot, aren't we?

Let us not forget that this devil took down Crossfire all by himself. They thought they were bringing on a comedian and he hit them hard, as a true blue liberal begging them not to destroy political discourse. They had no response and soon enough, they had no show. He has true blue cred, Jon Stewart does and a few barbs sent the way of mealy mouthed Democrats doesn't make him any less a liberal, just a comedian doing his job.
