[See NewsBusters for more.] Stephen Colbert’s constant drumbeat of lefty comedy has another goal according to the Late Night host. The same guy who has repeatedly compared Donald Trump to the Nazis appeared on Friday’s CBS This Morning and lectured, “But as my mom used to say, ‘You can't laugh and be afraid at the same time.’” He pontificated, “So, if you can laugh, then you can think. And we've got to think our way out of this because we felt our way into this problem with fear and anger.” With a really high view of himself, Colbert added of his show: “But if we can laugh... I think we can think our way into being an American community again.”
