Comments on: Stephen Colbert ousted from presidential race, but Facebook fans won't give up

The South Carolina Democratic Party voted on Thursday to remove the comedian's joke campaign from its state primary, but a Facebook fan group is making plans to mobilize.

If Ronald Reagan can

There have recently been a number of comedians in charge of the White House, but they didn't have their own TV shows! So, what's the problem in South Carolina.

Did he met the requirements? As far as I can tell the only requirement was the $2500 filing fee. I did not know that a person needs permission from the state Democratic party to run for President.

They were afraid he'd make a joke of the process? Just what do they think the other candidates are doing?

That's right, shoot down Ron Paul, and now Colbert

As much as I am pro Ron Paul as, surprisingly to me, many of us
net geeks are, and as much as I think Colberts run is just stupid, I
see no reason why Colbert should have been struck off. Let him
run.

Fear and loathing

Just as the Republicans are afraid that Ron Paul's anti-war
message will embarrass them, the Democrats fear Colbert. The
political hacks fear anything that reveals their shameless
criminality.

Most realistic person?

Stephen Colbert is not even a real person! He would be running as
the Stephen Colbert of TV, which is a right-wing pundit. He is
actually just as liberal as Jon Stewart.

so how's that different from any other politician?

the answer is it isn't, im not trying to be clever or coy here, but the fact of the matter is all these people are putting up a front and pretending to be something there not. They're all just acting.

All for it

A few years ago I probably would have been opposed to someone staging a publicity stunt like this. But now I think anyone that can come in and shake up the process, buck the status quo, and get these to say things instead of their pre-programmed rhetoric is a welcome addition to the race.
