Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/27/colbert-study-conservativ_n_191899.html"><P>I think a lot of conservatives are going to pissed when they realize that <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Colbert_at_the_2006_White_House_Correspondents%27_Association_Dinner">Stephen Colbert's performance at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner was not</A>, in fact, an awkward and ineffective attempt to praise President George W.
