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:

Are you laughing yet?
oh i get it it is a gay joke https://t.co/ipBNMLS4u5

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

@whipclip @mike_pence making homophobic innuendo jokes is ok when a liberal does it.
— Brad (@Brad_D80) October 5, 2016
@whipclip @mike_pence so it's ok to make fun of gay ppl again? Confused
— Dagny Delinquent (@DagnyDelinquent) October 5, 2016
It’s really not as confusing as it seems. Liberal = good. Conservative/Christian = bad.
@whipclip Isn't @StephenAtHome Roman Catholic?
— (((Dan Middleton))) (@DMiddletonCbus) October 5, 2016
That’s what he says. But he doesn’t seem to be terribly good at it, does he?
Homphobic jokes are not funny you guys!
And I do love how Colbert, an ostensible Catholic, is mocking a man for prayer. https://t.co/NnQERWKHt8
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) October 5, 2016
Huh. So Colbert, an avowed Roman Catholic, turned a comment about prayer into gay joke. That’s sweet. https://t.co/0IeuM9j4Ai

what a dumb joke from supposedly devout Colbert https://t.co/NDvnaDNKTr

A Catholic turning prayer into a sex joke for the approval of people who despise his deeply-held faith. https://t.co/aR8kp7wWfD
— PEG (@pegobry) October 5, 2016
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.

@whipclip @mike_pence Typical Leftism — snark and sexual innuendo in response to a statement of faith.
— The Deplorable DK (@dkahanerules) October 5, 2016
@whipclip @mike_pence Stay classy, yo.

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
@whipclip @mike_pence @StephenAtHome using homophobia to attack. shameful.
— BimboDickens (@ej73333) October 5, 2016
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
@gabrielmalor yeah, it's not really very funny
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) October 5, 2016
And the Colbert joke wasn't at all funny to begin with. https://t.co/gUfqWJyFCG
— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) October 5, 2016
It may not have been funny, but it is very illustrative of the glaring double standard under which progressives regularly operate.
@whipclip @mike_pence 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
