I'm so old I remember when @StephenAtHome & Jon Stewart damned pundits for lowering political discourse

I'm genuinely sad when a huge chunk of our culture thinks a Christian saying "I spend time on my knees every day" is a laugh line

At last night’s vice presidential debate, Mike Pence spoke very personally about his faith. Speaking about prayer, Pence said, “I try and spend a little time on my knees every day.”
Pence’s faith was evidently ideal comic fodder for “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert:

That’s OK. Gay jokes are fine when liberals make them. Especially when conservatives and Christians are the target.
Making innuendo homosexual slurs is funny!!! ??? https://t.co/eYjmydzoXf

It’s really not as confusing as it seems. Liberal = good. Conservative/Christian = bad.

That’s what he says. But he doesn’t seem to be terribly good at it, does he?

It really is twisted.
A comedy writer somewhere thought suggesting Pence was coming out when he was saying that he prays would be funny. Missed that mark.

Missed it by many, many miles.

Typical Leftism — snark and sexual innuendo in response to a statement of faith.

dear god, @StephenAtHome Turning a statement about prayer into a gay joke?
You should be ashamed
But you won't be https://t.co/1kgrLEtJvE— PoliMath (@politicalmath) October 5, 2016
@StephenAtHome using homophobia to attack. shameful.

It’s gross. Truly.
Colbert indulged the progressive hypocrisy: that it's okay to tell an anti-gay joke about a man who is anti-gay. That is bad.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) October 5, 2016
Sometimes jokes don't work. But progressives must choose one:
(1) Anti-gay jokes are not appropriate.
(2) Anti-gay jokes are okay.— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) October 5, 2016
Liberals want to have their cake and eat it, too.
I think that nobody should apologize for a joke unless it's not funny. But that's typically not the progressive view on anti-gay jokes.
— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) October 5, 2016
yeah, it's not really very funny

It may not have been funny, but it is very illustrative of the glaring double standard under which progressives regularly operate.
seriously? It's ok to make fun of Christians but no other religion? Hypocritical to the max.

Watch @StephenAtHome mock a Muslim politician for "getting on his knees" 5 times a day to audience guffaws
I feel sick thinking about it— PoliMath (@politicalmath) October 5, 2016
Edgy joke. Now do this with Muslims. I'll wait. https://t.co/FNBp875Vn4

You’ll wait? Better bring a book. We’re guessing it could be a while.

Have they ever met a Christian? Are they so disconnected from Christians that they don't know standard Christian terminology?
— PoliMath (@politicalmath) October 5, 2016
We're one news cycle away from liberal entertainers mocking Christians for cannibalism when they participate in communion
