Shameful Parity

During the Obama Administration, I marveled at the sheer, blinding and irrational hatred that some Republicans had for him.  They would not support the President, even when they agreed with him.  While it was not entirely racial bigotry, it was still bigotry, and it reflected badly on Republicans!

If Colbert has a political stand he needs to convey, he should take a lesson from Jimmy Fallon's memorable and classic takedown of Trumpcare.  If you haven't seen it already, you can at:
