Damn why he look so short lol
I think Colbert deserves to lose his job for bringing a shitheel in for laughs and being friendly with him.Sure, but first, you could reply to those who quoted your previous silly post.
Has Spicer spoken out or in anyway acknowledged the shit he did beyond laughing it off?

It is actually crazy to me that people are using this defense with a straight face. Were not talking about fucking customer service here.Me right now. You've never had to fall in line and just do your fucking job before?
Colbert has gone after Trump with more ferocity than anyone in late night with the exception of Sam Bee who is just on a completely different level than anyone else. Colbert's voice is needed. You are being ridiculous.
Me right now. You've never had to fall in line and just do your fucking job before?
So I watched the video. I laughed.
As for the outrage at his appearance... cmon.
Is Sean Spicer a shit dude? Yes. Did he say dumb and insensitive shit while being a propaganda mouth piece for our fascist and white supremacist President? Absolutely. I mean... that's pretty goddamn clear. I'm also sure almost everyone agrees with that, at least here on GAF.
That said, this short video was pretty hilarious. Why? Because at the very least, it was humorous. I would argue that this administration, and Spicer in general, has been its own fucking embarrassing parody of itself. When even South Park won't touch you because it's just too fucking easy at this point, you know your ass is far below reproach.
When I clicked this video after reading angry tweets attacking "liberal pundits and hosts" and comments here, I guess I went in with a certain kind of goggles on. And even then, when I watched it, I saw a mockery, and self-deprecating jab at Spicer, rather than an unacceptable glorification of him. The jokes were made at his expense. These comedians, pundits, and late night hosts have been making jokes at his expense for months. But suddenly when he excepts being the brunt of the joke, both personally and professionally? I'm not sure where the anger has come from.
This event, from my perspective has even further proven to me one harsh and inconvenient truth. The left can't stop fighting with itself, while the right stands unified and stays in power. We keep finding any reason we can to punch left and punch center. Why? This is all so petty.
This. He's also faced repeated backlash for that ferocity.
When Corden and those who did those things get a chance to address those things and the whys behind it, or apologize, why knee-jerk react with outrage. It's been less than a day.For me, the glorification and acceptance is the fact that he's invited and that he hangs out back stage with people who take fucking selfies with him.
"I don't agree with this decisions but he's a nice guy!" "Even though he lied to the country and berated reporters and anyone who disagreed with said lies"
"OK, here I go! Get over here Spicy it's selfie time!"
That's an acceptance and normalization that I think rightfully rubs people the wrong way.
My God. Why is it that people call for blood against people who had purely good intentions. Even if it backfired. Bill Maher faced the same thing, even though he apologized literally the next day. And his offense was infinitely worse. Give these people a chance to explain before you demand they burn it down.I think Colbert deserves to lose his job for bringing a shitheel in for laughs and being friendly with him.

It's always from both conservatives and the craziest "left".
It's like how Colbert had his 'Bing Bong Ching Chong' character, which was a character created to show how racist Bill O'Reilly is toward Asians (and other conservative white pundits are), which went over the casually left's heads and he had to retire the bit. Fast forward a few years and Jesse Watters is harassing Chinese people in NYC at the behest of Bill O'Reilly and has since moved up the ladder at Fox News unchallenged.
Colbert's entire career has involved swatting away temporal self-destructive indignancy, this too will pass.
Huge over reaction. Not surprising. This entire thread is an over reaction. Spicer was the joke. He was used to provoke Trump and be shown as an example of the liar he is.
I guess all of the punches that were thrown at Trump in the opening song just before Spicer appearance wasn't enough of a hint.

These people have been responsible for highlighting the hilarity and adsurdity of this administration for months. People who are on our side. I highly doubt they did this as a "we forgive you, Spicey. ❤️"
Oh, I do. Spicer shouldn't instantly get a pass. And if this was their intentions to give him that pass? Then sure. They should have to answer for that. And I'm pretty sure that either way, they will address it.But calling Spicy a good guy and taking pictures with him and hanging out with him IS, at least partially, forgiveness, even if not outright saying it.
Basically he got to hang out with stars and clearly had a great time doing it. All because he infamously lied to the nation night in and out.
You've gotta be able to see why this doesn't sit right with people.
I really wonder how many people that are raging at this, watched only this one minute long video. HmmmHuge over reaction. Not surprising. This entire thread is an over reaction. Spicer was the joke. He was used to provoke Trump and be shown as an example of the liar he is.

Spicer should give a tell-all interview about what's going on in that administration, and realize publicly how shit he was. That's a good way to start.
Spicey is living the life now
Everyone loves the Spicey!
I love Colbert, but, if this was his idea, he fucked up.
Fuck anyone that willingly works for the Trump administration.
Your #Resistance leaders, people.Spicey is living the life now
Yes is is bad at this point how is this not known?liberals seem to believe that giving any enemy publicity of any kind is automatically terrible no matter the context.
Your #Resistance leaders, people.

Exactly. Some strange over-reaction over thisColbert has gone after Trump with more ferocity than anyone in late night with the exception of Sam Bee who is just on a completely different level than anyone else. Colbert's voice is needed. You are being ridiculous.
You haven't been watching Seth Meyers then.
liberals seem to believe that giving any enemy publicity of any kind is automatically terrible no matter the context.
I mean, what do you expect them to do at a Hollywood party?
People tend to be civil.
I don't imagine people out for the evening fancy having a hyper political extreme debate with each other either.

"Sure, he went to work for a white supremacist, but it would just be rude not to take a selfie!"
Literally the decay of America.
Or they just don't like seeing people get chummy with a guy who regularly went to bat for a deranged piece of shit and are essentially downplaying how problematic that was.liberals seem to believe that giving any enemy publicity of any kind is automatically terrible no matter the context.

Right.But this is a very specific and shitty kind of publicity that normalizes his behaviors
Right.
He's pretty much being rewarded for being a propagandaist.
Its really bizarre to see.
And really bizarre to see defended.
I mean I laughed when I first saw it because at at surface level it's funny, but after applying even basic thought to it you start to realize how fucked the whole situation is.
