There are plenty of conservative comedians. Most of them are in the U.S. Senate/Congress ;)

I'm not sure if you mean stand up comedy, or something more general.

Read PJ O'Rourke if you are looking for conservative humor (although be warned, he has some fairly liberal social ideas).

Can't think of one conservative comedian.. alive; anyway.

I hear tell that Mark Twain was a conservative. By todays standards, anyway. ;)

It’s kind of a partnership.  The comedians are more liberal, while the conservatives provide them with material.

No kidding. It's not nearly as lighthearted as defending against fascists. ;)

Let's see... facist Italy, Germany, and Japan held the state's power above individual freedom of their citizens.  Yup, I guess conservatives defend against them too...

The American Government textbook that I use to teach my 9th grade students gives the following definition for fascism:

(A) political philosophy based on nationalism and an all-powerful state.  

It also states that fascists are a right-wing political movement.

SAY WHAAATT?

There is a political movement that wants a drastic expansion of the power of the national government, but isn't right-wing.  At least not in the U.S.

I always considered Mort to be a bipartisan comedian. He hit everyone.

IIRC, he was even hired to write jokes for JFK's speeches.
