CBS This Morning on Friday boosted left-wing comedian John Oliver's smear on conservatism on Thursday's Daily Show, where he equated conservatism with a hardcore drug like crack cocaine: "America likes its conservatism cut with plenty of baking powder because one hit of the pure stuff, and you'll wake up with Eric Stoltz...having just plunged an adrenaline needle into your heart."

Anchor Charlie Rose praised Oliver's offensive crack: "Don't you love John Oliver?" Erica Hill agreed with her co-anchor, and added, "Always gives us a good laugh. We like that."
