Michelle Malkin had a lesson on stones and glass houses.

Stephen Colbert responded to the brouhaha over the viral hashtag #cancelcolbert on Monday night.

“The dark forces trying to silence my message of core conservative principles mixed with youth-friendly product placement have been thwarted!” Colbert exclaimed to cheers.

Colbert felt betrayed by his conservative allies especially Michelle Malkin, who called the late night host a "coward."

"This cuts deep especially since I learned everything about the Asian American experience from reading Michelle Malkin's 2004 book, 'In Defense of Internment!'"

"It turns out they had it coming!" Colbert quipped.

1. Plus, after three days he returned.....

just like Jesus!

Yes, a WIN, but I do think he was deeply affected by the incident leading to his takeover of the twitter site. A busy weekend preparing, down to getting the twitter guy booked at such a fortuitous time.

2. He probably got a call to the carpet from the Comedy Central executives.

Though, just by googling "Ching Chong Ding Dong Colbert", I can see this isn't the first time he's dealt with controversy over some of his segments.

3. I love all the conservatives

Who jump on the bandwagon to criticize Colbert over something - racism - which they either don't give a damn about or practice daily. Suddenly, they're aghast and purposely misunderstanding the satire because they've always cared so much about non-Whites... When they think they can take a liberal down a few notches. Alas, they all haven't learned the lesson that Stewart and Colbert are normally 10 steps ahead of them on any issue so Malkin's takedown was delicious to watch.

4. And wasn't all of this phony outrage done in defense of the name "redskins"?

They kill me, these silly conservatives!

[NYC Liberal]

10. Right, and that was the whole point...

to show how absurd it was to start a "foundation" to help Native Americans and naming it with a racial slur!

7. Had to go to Amazon to see if there really is such a book.

There is.

There is no depth to which a RWer will not sink.

8. Yep - I googled it last night too.

9. OMG that book is real

11. How about Michelle Malkin

unpaid internment camp!!!

She has zero sense of humor and Colbert is super intelligent. She never stood a chance.
