is stephen colbert liberal or conservative?

He is in fact a Democrat. I think he's a pretty good equal opportunity satirist though.

Liberal

He is a hardcore Liberal who makes fun of Conservatives by pretending to be one, playing a Liberal view of a Conservative

I think he's more liberal pretending to be conservative than conservative pretending to be what a liberal thinks a conservative is. I find conservatives really don't know how liberals think, which is why they always jump to the wrong conclusions about liberal policies.

he is most likely more on the liberal side.....if you watch his show, you will notice he uses satire against both political parties, however when expressing his views they come off as more liberal. Try paying close attention to his shows if you want more detail...

His character is so far on the right, he's about to fall off. In real life, he is a liberal.

The character is a Republican.

The actor is a Democrat.

I think he is a Democrat. Though on his show he acts like he is a hard core Republican.

I believe he plays a Republican but in fact he is really a Democrat.

He's a registered Democrat.

Did you see the speech he gave at that Bush dinner?

He's got no love for conservatives.
