Well, I admit it, I turned it off halfway through Willy Nelson. But I did see the Toby Keith thing and I had the sense that Keith doesn't recognize that Colbert's schtick is parodic.
Am I missing something? I'm not sure that Keith actually wants to decapitate liberals, but wasn't he singing a version of his genuine beliefs?

I didn't see the special, just a few bits on youtube. I thought the Keith video was funny, though not the funniest thing ever. I just posted it because it related to the thread discussion. Keith is a Democrat, and he once said publicly that he didn't support invading Iraq. But then there was all that business with the Dixie Chicks, so I don't know what he thinks about the "War on Christmas." But I am sure the Cobert writers wrote the song and directed the video. I think it was definitely intended as satire, whether Keith got it or not.
