Stephen Colbert is the ultimate weapon of mass distraction. His viewers tune in for a laugh, while secretly-seeded propaganda pellets seep into their synapses

Yeah, I didn't quite get the Colbert one either. I feel like I'm missing something. I was trying to read behind the lines that they were trying to being humorous by saying that Colbert was truly a Bush supporter, but after having watched a good 2 dozen or so of his shows, I most certainly don't get that. One card isn't going to make me change my mind either. Is there something about Colbert's humor that I don't get?

The joke is that the card is using the same humor as Colbert does: Colbert is a liberal comicly pretending to be a diabolical conservative, so the card says he is a conservative diabolically pretending to be a comedic liberal.
