Like you, the blogger intensely dislikes Assange.

In the actual video of the program Colbert was having fun like he usually does. The scene begins with an interview with Assange and the viewers laugh wildly because Colbert's head is pixilated.
Here's are excerpts of the actual Colbert Report interview with Assange. The topic is the edited footage that you Randome, think is some kind of a crime. Unfortuately the Colbert interview is polluted with your HotAir blogger friend's comments so it's important to look for Colbert quotes separated by the blogger remarks, otherwise the comments can be confusing:
(Comment by 'HotAir' blogger): "After a sort of jokey opening in which he had his face pixelated and voice altered Colbert got down to business."
Colbert: Lets talk about this footage that has gotten you so much attention recently. This is footage of an Apache helicopter attack in 2007. The army described this as a group that gave resistance at the time, that doesnt seem to be happening. But there are armed men in the group, they did find a rocket propelled grenade among the group, the Reuters photographers who were regrettably killed, were not identified You have edited this tape, and you have given it a title called collateral murder. Thats not leaking, thats a pure editorial.
and later
Colbert: "And thats not satire, thats hardcore journalism."
(HotAir Blogger comment): Assange, meanwhile, did not appear to be at all put off by the tone of the questions, admitting that the point of the video including the editing and the title was to gain as much political impact as possible."
Assange says that the "full unedited material is available to the public in order that they may draw their own conclusions."
I admire that, says Colbert, noting that by putting Collateral Damage on the first thing the public see you have properly manipulated the audience into an emotional state you want before something goes on the air.
Randome --your modus operandi is to twist and turn and try to convince someone that Assange is bad. Now you try doing that by using the opinion of another person, and idiot blogger who like you, hates Assange. Later in the blog piece the blogger calls him a "liar". Go leap into that slippery doo doo that you keep spewing but do stop trying to twist the truth to make Assange look bad. The man has enough troubles with Karl Rove breathing down his neck.
I'm not going to waste more of my time on your second "documented" accusation as I strongly suspect it's more of the same doo doo.
