This one is so ridiculous I'm not even going to introduce it.
From a study conducted at Ohio State University entitled, "The Irony of Satire"...
Additionally, there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism.
Dutifully filed under "Are They Seriously That Dumb?" If you haven't seen The Colbert Report here's a short clip from the other night and you can click here to watch to your hearts content...
