Star Treatment? Julian Assange on Colbert Tonight

From the guy who's 2006 roast of President Bush was widely panned as deeply disrespectful to both the man and the institution:
I stand by this man. I stand by this man, because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things, things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound with the most powerfully staged photo-ops in the world.

Then this is no surprise, "Colbert to Interview Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Tonight."

Star treatment for a convicted computer hacker and discredited communist. Nope. Our mainstream "entertainers" cavorting with anti-Americans. No surprise at all.

Might want to pull your foot out of your mouth. Colbert challenged his video in a serious dialogue and got him to admit his site was basically a political advocacy group. If you think allowing someone you disagree with to voice their opinion is wrong then be careful who you call a communist.

Whoopsie! Looks like you got a little ahead of yourself. A conservative made an ass of himself? First time ever, right?

I was going to call you out on this as well, but you know. As myself, with my name and website. Not hidden behind an anonymous moniker. Anonymous is probably one of your students.
