FCC Considers Fining Stephen Colbert Over Controversial Trump Joke (rollingstone.com)
FCC chairman Ajit Pai said on Friday his agency will be looking into complaints made against Late Show host Stephen Colbert for what some labeled a homophobic joke about President Donald Trump. From a report: On Monday's Late Show, Colbert quipped that "the only thing [Trump's] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's c**k holster." The joke drew accusations of homophobia, a viral #FireColbert campaign and FCC complaints against Colbert. In an interview Friday, FCC chairman Ajit Pai told a Philadelphia radio station, "I have had a chance to see the clip now and so, as we get complaints -- and we've gotten a number of them -- we are going to take the facts that we find and we are going to apply the law as it's been set out by the Supreme Court and other courts and we'll take the appropriate action." Pai added, "Traditionally, the agency has to decide, if it does find a violation, what the appropriate remedy should be. A fine, of some sort, is typically what we do."
A cock is just another word for a rooster.
And cock is just another word for penis.
When you say one man is using another as a cock holster, and you know neither personally owns livestock, then the meaning is pretty clear.

LOL you think it's millennial democrats filling these reports?!
Head over to 4chan/pol. They are organising a mass complaint campaign and trying to get him fired. 4chan's pol is far right, by the way. Deeply anti-Semitic and racist, but Trump is their guy.

This article is pure bullshit.
The FCC is not considering fining anyone.
They are reviewing the complaints, which is their job. IF they decide a violation happened, THEN they will begin to consider fines.
No, this is the leftwing liberal playbook from the last 50 years being turned on a leftist for one of the few times, in only a tenth the strength. Turnabout is *always* fair play. Deal with it.
...Except when it is on TV.... Then some word are less free than others.

Trump: "Romney would have dropped to his knees for my endorsement in 2012"
Irony and Hypocrisy are both dead.
The media cleaned up Trump so people didn't realize how much worse he talked in public- they edited out the best they could while retaining a lot of the stupid and inflammatory statements... which mostly served to distract from the lack of any detail on positions (which he is flip flopping at record levels anyway.)

"Trump was a dick, and Colbert used rephrased versions of TRUMP's insults into a sharper attack."
Actually, it's a bit more subtle than that. A "Cock Holster" is US Military Slang, going back as far as the Vietnam War, and probably farther back than that.
A "Cock Holster" is a Raw Recruit, and the only two words that they are allowed to say is "Yes" and "Sir", together, followed by blind obedience and with no other contributions to the conversation.
Of course, President Bone Spurs would have no knowledge of this, and neither would any of his Chicken Hawk followers, as is so evident here in the comments here.
You Tighty-Righties have been getting away with this shit for decades. But NOW you're offended?
Phuck you!
If the homophobia complaints were coming from gays, then there would be something to it. The fact that it's coming from Trump supporters shows that it's insincere. You can't be outraged on behalf of another group when that group doesn't care, and especially when that group is one that your side goes out of it's way to marginalize.
There is a simple test to tell if he's biased toward using homosexual acts as insults. Does he use heterosexual acts equally or not? If he more often chooses a homosexual act to insult someone, then he's biased.
Clearly he is hateful, which is a shame. Had anyone said "Hillary is Obama's __holster", they would not retain a prominent host position on any major network. And the uproar would be many times what we are seeing here because it would be the liberals who would be offended.
And why are some claiming this is just using this as an act of submission and subservience? Is that implying that 1/2 homosexuals are subservient to their partners? Would you say that about a female in a heterosexual relationship, that she is subservient?
