The Obama-Wanda Sykes Chilling Laugh Fest
A couple of years ago, Ayaan Hirsi Ali was having dinner at our house in Holland and we decided to watch a comedy show on TV. I believe the reason was that Wouter Bos, the leader of the Dutch Social Democrats and a colleague of Ayaan’s in parliament, was scheduled to appear on that show.
The program featured stand-up comedians discussing the news, together with the well-known guest. And because Ayaan was an ongoing topic in Holland, they started talking about her. One of the comedians remarked: “Ayaan, she doesn’t have a clitoris, does she?”
The audience laughed. And Wouter Bos, the leader of one of the established political parties and one of the pillars of modern Dutch society, laughed along with the crowd.
Ayaan couldn’t breathe. Shocked, we stared at the screen. Was it possible we hadn’t heard it correctly? How was it possible that a human being, who had been tortured as a child by being forced to undergo genital mutilation, could become an object of laughter and derision by adult men on national television?
I didn’t care for the comedians — sick minds possessing the intuition of obsessed adolescents. I cared for Wouter Bos, an intelligent, sensitive man, who didn’t have the courage to protect ordinary decency and demand that this remark be cut from the taped show.
Three days later one of the main Dutch newspapers published an op-ed piece my wife and I had written about Wouter Bos’ cowardly behavior. Other voices were heard criticizing my wife and me for our effort to “silence” a funny comedian.
Wanda Sykes’ recent performance reminded me of this impressive example of Dutch tolerance. I only know her from her short appearances on the great Larry David show Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO, and I have to admit that she always frightened me a bit with her furious and deadly political correctness. Last Saturday, at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, she wished an American citizen to die because this citizen disagrees with the politics of the American president.
Wanda Sykes isn’t of any interest to me. The fact that the American president was five feet away from her and had to laugh about her joke was of interest. A comedian wishes a citizen dead and the president laughs?
What in God’s name does Dutch TV have to do with it? This is pathetic.
Is anyone surprised by this? Time and time again Obama has shown he has no class.
“What in God’s name does Dutch TV have to do with it? This is pathetic.”
The Dutch comedien mentioned was as cruelly clueless and classless as Sykes, that’s what it had to do with this. Or were just really wishing out loud it had nothing to do with this?

Ummm! Coffee makes typing better. TDP, ml, msl, & pfpp
Rush has really gotten under TOTUS’ thin skin, hasn’t he? Keep it up, Rush. Wanda’s joke was in poor taste but I have to admit I loved her comments about Michelle and the Queen.
Re: #1-
Does anyone else here get tired of explaining simple principles to simpltons who ask questions that they wouldn’t understand the answers to?
Anyway, I loved this excerpt from the article: “especially among the left-wing intelligentsia which considers itself superior in morals, ethics, and eating habits”. It’s just that I always thought their eating habits came first; it’s toward their own bellies that their piety is directed. The leftist belly as defined by Bierce:
ABDOMEN, n. The temple of the god Stomach, in whose worship, with sacrificial rights, all true men engage. From women this ancient faith commands but a stammering assent. They sometimes minister at the altar in a half-hearted and ineffective way, but true reverence for the one deity that men really adore they know not. If woman had a free hand in the world’s marketing the race would become graminivorous.
Of course, had Bierce seen for what passes for a man in liberal circles, he would surely have edited this definition where they’re concerned.
“The fact that the American president was five feet away from her and had to laugh about her joke was of interest. A comedian wishes a citizen dead and the president laughs?”
He didn’t have to laugh. He chose to.
This is the same jerk who thought his remark about the Special Olympics (re his lack of bowling skills) was funny. This should not surprise anyone.
Once again, I can’t help but wonder if the persistence in “acting surprised” about his behavior isn’t a politically correct way of continuing to pretend “he’s really better than this”. News flash: he’s not.
Are we still not capable of public discussion that BEGINS with the frequently documented truth that he IS an awful person? He’s not nice. He’s nasty. He’s dangerous.
If we could start with the KNOWNS, then the conversation wouldn’t have to include “a comedian wishes a citizen dead and the president laughs?” but could BEGIN with reality, “So what else is new, folks? He did it again. This really is who he is.”
Shef, (if that is your real name) it’s called an analogy.
1. Shef Rogers
The writer of the column explained (on page two) exactly what Dutch TV “had to do with it”.
What does God’s name have to do with it?
I have an idea why Wanda Sykes’ ghetto-filth mouth was on stage with the (pretend) President.
She sounds like South Chicago though, doesn’t she?
Again, the Obama era makes me nauseous.
As poster #1 confirms, when Leftists routinely lay claim to not having or adhering to – shall we say – “old-fashioned/backwards” morals, it is no matter to them to act as swine and think nothing of it.
That others see acting as swine as something objectionable or barbaric is thereby perceived as just a matter of opinion.
It is not.
See also recent PJM articles on Democrats Double Standards and Pelosi Have You No Decency.
Wanda Looks like she will go bald long before she gets funny.
But her comments were entirely consistent with the thuggish mafia style politics being practiced the Obama, Axelrod, Emanuel & Co.
Of course he doesn’t understand that his laughing was appalling and inappropriate. He wasn’t raised decently or properly. The guy has no upbringing. He’s trash. I don’t expect anything of value from him at all.
The partisans in the audience reminded me of the crowds gathered in the soccer field in Afghanistan to watch and cheer on a woman’s beheading.
This disgrace to African-Americans, woman, and American citizens for that matter, gets a pass. She could say anything she wanted about anyone and it would have been just fine…. and Obama just laughs and laughs!
by Leon de Winter:
Republicans and conservatives cannot take a joke. She was funny. You are over-exaggerating your sensitivity. Limbo wants Obama to fail, Sykes joked that Limbo’s kidneys should fail. What’s the big deal?

Oh. Probably as much as wishing your political opponents dead of some disastrous disease.
A compare and contrast moment. Looking ahead to the future of stand-up comedy in the United States by observing what is going on in Europe.
Today disgusting humor is all the rage in Holland on prime time television. But in America it is, for the moment confined to the White House and various ‘progressive’ fund raisers.
However, in due time, I’m certain US will ‘progress’ to the level of Holland.
Does that help?

Shef, dear, you missed the whole point of it. This does not surprise me. It does not surprise me a bit that the president laughed at this “joke.” His “enemies list” includes everyone and anyone who disagrees with him in any way.
Vivo, you embarrass yourself.
Tasteless is just that, no matter who tells the joke or who laughs at it. I did notice there were those in the audience who weren’t laughing at Sykes “jokes”. I also thought O’s “Scare Force One” joke was just as tasteless. He certainly had fun telling it. I know the people running and screaming didn’t think it was so funny.
What happens in Eurabia will influence the culture here. Unfortunately the liberals/socialists in America take their cues from this poisoned well.
Apples and oranges. The woman was mutilated by the actions of others, she is a victim and bears no responsibility for her status. Mocking her is therefore despicable and cruel and should not ever be consider a potential topic for humor.
Limbaugh’s potential kidney failure would be the result of his long term heavy (over)use of oxycontin, just as his hearing loss was. He is directly responsible for his status. He is NOT a victim, he is a drug addict facing the consequences of his own actions. He put himself in that position.
Attempts at mocking Limbaugh, as in this case, may not be funny, but mocking the stupid things people do (and the consequences that follow) is part of what comedians try to do. Do it well and you’re rich. Do it poorly and you go back to your day job.
Mocking victims of violence is completely different and is always unacceptable.

RE: There You Have It, Folks
And in the proverbial ‘nutshell’ at that.
Our vaunted American public education system cranks out people like vivo who can’t tell the difference between wishing someone is unsuccessful in a business/poltical venture and wishing someone was DEAD.
And we thought they were supposed to be teaching children how to ‘respect’ each other.
Obviously, they have NOT been doing anything of the sort. And vivo is prima fecea evidence of that.

I would pay a dollar to hear the soundtrack of that dinner had there been no white people in attendance… even as waiters.
Once we start joking about the death of those with whom we disagree or find disagreeable to us how far are we from actually bringing about those deaths or turning a blind eye when others do?
David M. in Europe,
I have no choice but to agree. America has scraped the bottom of the barrel with Obama and his crew. Obama is a national disgrace of epic proportion.
Obama voters should be very ashamed of themselves by now.
Hopefully the many good people that still exist in America will be shakeout of their ‘it could never happen here’ complacency before the country suffers irreparable damage.
“It’s funny!” is always considered the clinching argument. It’s supposedly funny, so how dare you criticize what’s being said? Comedians are the new high priests of society, they are supposedly above criticism. Cuz they’re funny. Well, actually they aren’t, but if we point this out, we have no sense of humor!
C.S. Lewis foresaw the day when all sorts of things: hatred, contempt for the disabled, spite and greed would be accepted, because someone could pass them off as a “joke”. If anyone protests, then out comes the accusation, “You have no sense of humor!” Uh-huh, if you don’t find death people wishing death on others hilarious, you have no sense of humor, you bad person, you!
So-called “comedians” are the new Mrs. Grundy’s of society, telling us what we can support and what we can’t, and putting us on notice we’ll be mocked and reviled if we don’t go along with the program.
Due to President Obama’s narcissism, he will laugh at many things we–the normal folks–do not find funny; his sense of humor is distorted due to his sense of self being distorted. The MSM & the glitterati help encourage Obama.
There is toilet humor, but these jokes were just not funny. They were mean-spirited & ugly. What does that say about Obama? Well, he does not mind hanging out with racists & hate-mongers in Reverend Wright & terrorist, Bill Ayers…
What this says about Obama is that he gets a kick out of hearing his enemies (he considers Rush an opponent) mocked.
George Bush never went after, say, Keith Olberman, or any of the other “comics” who savaged him, but Obama has lowered himself into going after a radio talk show host, as if he were a member of the Taliban.
It’s very strange, by the way; those who defend hate-filled comedians because they’re funny, and we should all have a sense of humor, never extend this humerous tolerance when Conservatives, like Anne Coulter, mock the Left. I know, I know—Coulter is promoting hate speech, whereas Sykes is FUNNY, dadgast it, she’s really, really funny!

Did that show mean that Wanda Sykes is auditioning for a cabinet post, or one of the supremes, or perhaps as an acorn media consultant? Will this administration appoint her as the new comedy czar? Can we phrase the entire economy as “funny as a train wreck coming right at you and you can’t take your eyes off of it and the whistles getting louder and yet the laughs keep on coming on and you want it to end but you are stuck on the tracks of wanting to know how it will end?”

Good grief, I’m not even going to attempt to understand that connection (except that to point out that it illustrates what 29.Andrew said). You want to see Rush and Sean “slowly tortured” and, apparently, until that can occur, you will settle for jokes about them.
38.Gavin. Sigh…ok, here goes: this is not an off the cuff, out of character, caught off guard issue here. It’s the pattern. This is not a nice man. obama is cruel, cold, not nice and impolite to those who are not like him. It’s the PATTERN of behavior.

Is this a liberal advocating taking resposibility for life decisions???!!!
Quit your phony outrage.
The rhetoric on this board on any given day is just as bad as anything Wanda Sykes said at the Correspondents Dinner.
Free speech is a b**ch, isn’t it?
No, mnewman, he’s only demanding Republicans take responsibility for their life decisions. Liberal drug abusers, especially if they’re demented from years of substance abuse, and wandering the streets, terrifying the rest of us, are victims of society, deserving unquestioning compassion and tons of taxpayer money to rehabilitate them.
Actually, I feel some sympathy even for those whose miseries are self-inflicted; I certainly wouldn’t go around wishing for their kidneys to fail, or accusing them of helping with 9/11. But, then, I’m just one of those hard-hearted Conservatives, not a compassionate and tolerant progressive.
I suspect middleman would be most upset if we said we sat around longing to see liberals suffer horrible atrocities. He’d probably call it hate speech, and wax highly indignant thereover. I suspect he, himself, can’t take it, though he certainly can dish up the hate. I also suspect he needs a shrink.
Maybe someone will “necklace” her. That is what leftist blacks like mandela do is it not?
Post 45: Pastor of Muppets, you nasty boy! Aside from the Obama bashing and what with free speech being so inconvenient at times, I find it curious that a room full of suppossedly educated and talented and experienced — and one assumes, sophisticated professionals would find Sykes’ humor tolerable, no matter who is the target.
Perhaps those laughing the loudest are the most jaded, that or afraid of not being accepable (cool) to their peers. The ones not laughing are to be congratulated for being compassionalty human. Let’s appreciate that group and move past the others.
In the meantime, that vicious bigoted Nazi homophobic bi**h c**t with fake boobs Carrie Prejean is getting just what she deserves for her hate speech (or so goes the liberal mind).
Wanda fits in nicely with all the other clowns in washington DC
And another thing: she was hysterically funny all the way through.
The crowd loved her.
Now, now, bill, it’s only hate speech when Conservatives, or Christians, or Jews do it.
When liberals do it, it’s being “edgey”, “Controversial”, “Outspoken”, “Pushing the envelope”, “Over the top.”
Oh, yes, and “Shock humor”—sorry I left that out.
A “celebrity” making an ass of herself? The horror! YAAAAWWWWWNNNNNNN.
The very same president that gives iPods to the Queen of England and DVDs to their ridiculous lefty PM is laughing at a tasteless joke? YAWWNNNN.
The Obama-clones like Kermit have a point (not you, vivo, you are still a worthless pile of nothingness), we need to stay focused on his train-wreck economic policy. Prior to our President’s ascendancy to the Senate (after an “honorable” and hard-fought campaign), this dude was living on condo flipping and credit lines, and couldn’t keep a budget if it was tied to his nose. Hell’s Bells, Ms. Wide-ass herself said that when BHO won his Senate seat, it was like it was “Jack finding his magic beans.” And you expect anything remotely sane coming from this huckster?
It’s interesting that this has previously been a gentle roast of the president, not about anyone else. Now that Obama is in office, this too has changed. Interesting.
Paul from Hamburg, oh yeah, the fit would hit the shan if AIDS sufferers and drug abusers were mocked! “Intolerant!” “Uncompassionate!” “Mean-spirited!” “Hate speech!”
It’s only funny when liberals mock politically correct targets.
I miss the days when comedians were, actually, you know, funny: like the Three Stooges. Like Carol Burnett. Like Jack Benny. All the current controversial, edgy, over-the-top, pushing-the-envelope unfunny wannabes put together wouldn’t get one tenth the laughs that Jackie Gleason, Ernie Kovacs or George Burns and Gracie could.
BettyBlue,
Oh, there are plenty of liberals that would make the list too, but we’re not on a liberal site are we? Quite frankly the best thing to ever happen in this world is when we finally take all those on the left and right who want to dictate us how to live life and put them on a island to fight it out. The survivors then get the coup de grace and the world can go back to existing, but in a happier form.
You think I need a shrink? I know you and everyone else here has taken some sort of pleasure in thinking of people from the opposite end of the political spectrum suffering from some form of misery or cartoonish violence. Nancy Pelosi launched from a trebuchet? C’mon you know that’d be funny. At least be honest with yourself.
You have to wonder about the mental stability of people who in a liberal/leftist media age obsess over one man, constantly. With all the outlets available for news and opinion, and by far, most of them controlled by the left, the presence of Limbaugh and the vitriolic, unbalanced reaction to him by people laughably described as liberal is proof of a burning, soul eating, intolerance.
They have got 90% of the media ballgame but in their tortured selves it’s still not enough. Dissent, any dissent in any amount brings out the urge to crush and destroy.
The crowd and Obama laughed at Sykes lines. So it is OK to wish Limbaugh dead but not OK to with hold support of Obama’s policies.
How’s that for open minded, rational thought?
Remember, Obama’s only goal in life is to be the “coolest guy in the room”.
What a guy! A one-man rat pack.
No, middleman, I wouldn’t find Nancy’s death funny.
(You’re PJM, right? In which case, better not to respond to this guy.)
And John, I don’t wonder about the mental stability of such people.
I know.
The day ONE of you can acknowledge how disgusting Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin and the rest of the gutter slime that you listen to, agree with and laugh with you have NO RIGHT to criticize the left. You wallow in pig s*it with these people and have the nerve to question other’s decency. Total right wing hypocrisy.
Who would have thought that Obama, after all these years, would revive the old time minstral show? Perhaps we should refer to him as “Mister Interlocutor”. Ridicule or disgust–take your pick. Obama may corner the market before he is finished, if Pastor of Muppets doesn’t beat him to it.
Well, the left, liberals, US teachers and the US media have fully invested in Obama. His failure will be their failure. Even if the train goes over the cliff, you will never hear the truth, only the distant chant of the worshipful plunging towards their doom. Every new day brings a new, uncontested outrage and real damage is being done. I used to think sane minds were still somewhere around our leadership, and could exert influence if things were about to go insane. Now, does anyone believe that? I don’t anymore. If the US govbernemtn under Obama is ordered to commit a possibly FATAL mistake, it will, quietly.
Yikes it’s sykes. I watched it and she faced Obama and was speaking to him. Most remain facing the audience. she did not.
sarah bernhart another of sykes kind did the same dishonest attacks against Gov palin.
My mistake! I meant to say “Sheesh”, or “Pastor of Muppets” in #61. The names are different, but the song’s the same ol’, same ol’.
johnt:“The crowd and Obama laughed at Sykes lines. So it is OK to wish Limbaugh dead but not OK to with hold support of Obama’s policies.
How’s that for open minded, rational thought?”
It is perfectly okay to withhold support of Obama’s policies. It is not okay to wish for America to fail. It is not okay to smear the President by calling him an Arab. It is not okay to call him a terrorist. It is not okay to say that he was only elected because Americans did not have the guts to say no to a black man.
So don’t act as if either Rush of free speech are victims here. No one is stifling Rush’s ability to be a big fat idiot. Denigrating someone is not the same as silencing them.
From the article:”The post-modern ideal is: he who has no values, he for whom nothing is sacred, is cool.”
This sums up rather well what accounts for the seemingly neverending love fest many have for, what a poster put so well above, this rather ‘nasty,’ no class act of a man.
Noteworthy is Limbaugh’s no-action approach to this fiasco; he has not mentioned one iota about it and doubtless will not do so. I would not be surprised if he has instructed his call screener to admonish all callers not to mention this at all whatsoever. Meantime, his show prep is sharply focused on any and all displays of hypocrisy that constantly come from this guy (the latest being his plans to attend via jet to a big fund-rasing bash for Harry Reid). No can do for big-company CEOs, however.
“You have to wonder about the mental stability of people who in a liberal/leftist media age obsess over one man, constantly.

Take almost all of follow and replace the word Limbaugh, left, and liberal with Obama, right, and conservative.

If I have to acknowledge Michael Savage as representative of me or my views or that I find his act funny in order to be GIVEN my right to criticize the Left (presumably by you, “Dave,” or maybe by the Messiah?), then you have to acknowledge David Duke, Bill Ayers and Fidel Castro as your ideological models in order to make trashy, tasteless jokes about those whom your Messiah perceives to be his enemies.
As for Malkin, Coulter and Limbaugh: I don’t agree with everything they say, but there is a WORLD of difference between the worst things they’ve said and what the some random hack like Wanda Sykes said.
And as for “wallowing in pigsh*t,” that is EXACTLY what you and people like you have been doing for eight years and counting.
I’m confused. I thought it was to be a (all in good fun) roast of the President, government officials and press members usually in the audience. When did that change? Glad she had the balls to attack someone who wasn’t even invited.

Laura:
It’s interesting that this has previously been a gentle roast of the president, not about anyone else. Now that Obama is in office, this too has changed. Interesting.
I seem to recall Bush’s version of this event and the self deprecating humor was hilarious. What Sykes said was not a joke…to characterize it as a joke is disengenous. Not funny either unless you hate Limbaugh I suppose. I’m indifferent to Rush, but I di hear his original comments about Obama’s policies and failure…It seems that the left bloggers have been instructed to say, no insist, that Rush says he wishes America to fail. After a while it becomes truth for the 80% + of the population too ignorant or too uninformed to see it otherwise.
Of course Obama would find a crude “joke” like that funny. After all, he made one himself — remeber the Special Olympics gaff on Letterman, and how the “progressives” scrambled to make excuses for him?
What’s the old saying? “Water seeks its own level.”

Betty,
So you admit you find physically assaulting others, as the Three Stooges did, funny?
The best part about this was CNN’s coverage (again) of it this morning. Their headline was something like Rush to Judgement (or something just as lame) and since I knew Rush hadn’t commented I waited to see what their “story” could possibly be about. The story was essentially wondering if/when Rush would take the Sykes bait and what his comments might possibly be. Pathetic how they are now desperately trolling to take the heat off of the comedian and put it onto Rush.
Re #67 Pastor of Nothing’s comment “It is not okay to wish for America to fail.”
Again he knows nothing about what he was commenting about. Rush said he wanted TeleBama’s POLICIES to fail. Quite different wouldn’t you agree?
#67 Pastor of Muppets:
In light of the past eight years, your hypocrisy is nothing short of staggering.
82POM…interesting to learn what actually shocks you, and how unaware you apparently are of the strong representation of Bible-based Christianity in every culture around the world.
What rock have you been living under?
There’s a marvelous provision in our Bill of Rights covering our freedom to believe the Bible, whether people get shocked and call us names or not.

>”It’s not ok to wish your country to fail<”. I agree, and hopefully if Obama fails the country won’t, or can you not differentiate between Obama and America? There is a difference and you must torment yourself with the effort of thought to discover it, or them, there being numerous differences. In any case Limbaugh has never wished for his country to fail and in this he is like the rest of us, that is, people who not being ignorant fanatics can tell said differences.
Further, and to assist in clearing the fog from the remnants of your mind. To wish some one dead is a tad worse, just a tad, then denigrating them. Even in your catalog of sins against the man you adore you couldn’t name anyone who went that far in criticism, excuse me, hate. And we’re talking about a White House dinner here pal, not someone on the Net.
Why bother? Stop straining for comparisons that will get you and your man Obama off the hook, believe me, the worst is yet to come.

Interesting idea that. Just a little while earlier Master of Puppets was all for ‘free speech’. And here it looks like Dave, a kindred spirit, is opposed to those who oppose his views of having such a right.

[The Truth will out.....and make Dave look like a fascist of the first order.]
The issue at hand is civility. Harsher words have been said during the televised roasts with Dean Martin 30 years ago, but they were said in fun and good natured. I believe that in the presence of the POTUS, civility and good natured fun should be the rule. Wanda crossed a line that should not have been crossed and quite unfortunately the President Obama went with her.
In truth, I believe this speaks to a broader theme, in that the left seems to hold a real hatred of those who they oppose (there are of course some exceptions, but this seems to be the rule). While the right is often decried as the party of hate, it seems to me that often this is miscontrued from the old saying, “hate the sin, love the sinner”. To deem something as wrong is seen as judging the person who wishes to do such.
This can be seen in the current arguments regarding same-sex marriage. Most opposition for this is based on the concept that it is simply wrong. There is no animosity toward any particular person or group, just an affinity to a certain social standard. Those who feel differently take it as a personal attack on themselves and others who think likewise. As such, they feel justified in personal attacks and hatred toward their opposiion. Miss CA states an opinion regarding public policy, then was attacked in a personal and hateful manner.
Rush didn’t attack Obama, he attacked his policies. Yet, Rush has been attacked in a personal and hateful way as a response. Therein lies the lack of civility.
Bear, mainstream comics have become the new thought police. You will agree with them, and never criticize the administration, or they’ll call for your death.
All in a very funny, ha-ha sort of way, of course.
Congrats, you got it right. You showed up the malignancy of leftish “humor”. The analogy you tried is right as well, because what they did to Ayaan in Africa is close to death, and certainly she was afraid of dying at the time. What was done to her in the show is another kind of death, trying to kill somebody’s soul and dignity. And the Sykes joke is on death. Lefts today get close to killing, speech, soul, everything. Some are fascist. Congrats.
I love it when right-wingers go apoplectic over a joke. They never do it with “Barack the Magic Negro” stuff, but Wanda Sykes says some bad stuff about Cheney and it’s all, “Oh no she dint!” Convenient…very convenient.
I think what all of the hate really comes down to from you right-wingers is penis envy. You can’t stand having a big black penis representing America. You’d all probably take a couple of steps away from apoplexy if you would just learn to bask in appreciation like those of us on the right side.
BettyBlue: “Bear, mainstream comics have become the new thought police. You will agree with them, and never criticize the administration, or they’ll call for your death.

Again, the right wing seems to fail to understand that being laughed at and ridiculed is not the same thing as being silenced.
After all, if the Left Wing Comedy Gestapo Thought Police were to “silence” you for good, they’d be needlessly depriving themselves of a lot of good material.

And these are just some of Ann Coulter’s “greatest hits!”
Now I’d understand if you were making the case that Wanda Sykes and Ann Coulter are equally offensive. But that doesn’t seem to be what you’re saying. You seem to be saying that Ann Coulter/Malkin/etc don’t say outrageous things. (Oh, I know, fantasizing about bashing heads in with baseball bats, terrorists blowing up buildings, or poisoning a Supreme Court judge aren’t as bad as hoping someone’s kidneys fail…but hey.

This whole controversy isn’t about why the president laughed or didn’t laugh. It isn’t about politics. It isn’t about democrats and republicans. It’s about a performer. The performer’s delivery was UNCOUTH, and an embarrassment.” A lady performer (i use the word lady with hesitance) with any class would not have made statements to embarrass the president about his swimming attire or lack of it, his physique, as well as the first lady’s. It was obvious that the first lady was taken aback with this speaker’s sort of humor. disgusting!!!!

Loser of Muppets, it’s not the fact that she stated something using free speech that is upsetting it’s the fact that our President laughs at the expense of others. It should be beneath him. Is he that worried about his image that he must tear others down to feel good about himself? Sad man!
62. Dave:
I listen to none of them..stop being prejudiced.
Boy, the word went out from the White House to cover the President’s butt on this one very quickly. Of course it is very embarrasing to have the Prediential dignity tarnished to this extent. Politicians are supposed to know better than to laugh in public at anything this mean spirited even if they agree, expecialy Presidents.
Muppet boy said, “It is not okay to wish for America to fail. It is not okay to smear the President by calling him an Arab. It is not okay to call him a terrorist. It is not okay to say that he was only elected because Americans did not have the guts to say no to a black man.”
Hey Muppet, why not? Those are the truth.
101. asshat:
Why no, asshat, the point is that the current president found Sykes’ brand of vitriol high humor. While on the other hand, there’s no reason to believe that the former president found any of Coulter’s comments funny.
The point is being missed here…this is about the President’s apparent glee at the shot Wanda took at Limbaugh, using an American tragedy as a backdrop.
This was inappropriate at best. Say what you want about Ann Coulter. It’s irrelevant to the discussion. The President’s malaprops without the teleprop are piling up and we still don’t know who he really is … although many of us think we have a good idea.
Master of Baiters is here to do just that.
“It is perfectly okay to withhold support of Obama’s policies. It is not okay to wish for America to fail. ”
Pastor of Muppets wins stupid comment of the day (again). Wanting Obama to fail in pushing his disastrous policies and wanting America to fail are diametric opposites. Sadly when he learns as much, we will all be screwed, not just him.
I thought the whole event was one big joke to begin with. It was interesting to watch the camera on zoom in all the rich hollywood and liberal media leftwing elite sitting and laughing with out a clue. Meanwhile our auto and important industries are going bankrupt. Real people are losing thier jobs and they are all livin it up while the middle class are out of work. And these liberals in power are making it happen!
This reminds me of the funeral service for Sen. Paul Wellstone, and how classless the Democrats were at what should be a somber occasion. Everyday I live, I am more convinced these people are not normal, and never will be.
I do think the way the Democrats acted at that event effected the 2002 mid-term elections. Americans are generally decent people, and this reflects badly on Democrats anyway you want to spin it.

[They take drugs very seriously at their house...]
Obama: Antichrist, Messiah, or Both?
There has been precious little writ of late about the campaign talk of Barack Obama and his messianic complex and/or of Barack as the incarnation of the Antichrist: Both were innuendos widely circulated in the months leading up to his election and both had more than some bases in fact.
His expansive, soaring rhetoric, the studied demeanor he and his handlers cultivated, his redemptive promises, his portentous warnings, but chiefly the complicity of the mainstream media, were all factors in creating the positive aura that still surrounds him.
Whatever Obamian negatives do crop up that can’t readily be spun into positives are simply ignored. Or, if they are so egregious they are beyond avoidance, the press will grudgingly cover them, then bury them.
Cases in point since his inauguration would be his failed European tour, his ridiculing of the Special Olympians on national TV, and his giddy amusement last Saturday night by 9/11 jokes and death wishes made by alleged comedienne, Wanda Sykes.
Just as with Obama’s statement that he had visited all 57 states during the campaign, rest assured you won’t be hearing much about those stories from the mainstreamers since they tend to damage their version of a flawless president.
Newsweek infamously bestowing a halo on Obama a year ago, a cover shot demanded by the editor’s wife, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2023436/posts, was but one of many overt and subliminal media efforts made to suggest the candidate’s messianic personna:
And Obama is not on record as ever objecting to that media worship.
The same factors that created that aura also serve to provoke an extreme antipathy in those who opposed his candidacy and not only from Christians who took offense at comparing any politician with the Christian Savior.
Such hyperbolic descriptions as messiah and Antichrist are not mutually exclusive either. Anyone assuming or accepting suggestions that the mantle of a new messiah can readily be interpreted to be the Antichrist as well. What better platform than the former to launch the insidious evil of the latter?
Nor are such descriptions unprecedented in recent American politics.
George W. Bush was certainly never considered godlike by his venomous detractors but he was often demonized and characterized as the Antichrist, and worse, by America’s leftist extremists, as evidenced by this tee shirt which must have been very popular at N.O.W., NARAL, and NAMBLA conventions:
Shocked reactions of revulsion by the Obama camp today as to mean-spirited commentary on Obama reflect ludicrous, hypocritical examples of selective memories after eight years of their heaping toxic criticism on Bush, and on Dick Cheney. . .

Ha! I know your standards of evidence, Chuck. Remember when I showed you “evidence” that Barack Obama was born in Hawaii? What was your response? The birth certificate was a fake and the head of Hawaii’s Health Services Department was a liar.
You don’t find “evidence” all that convincing, Chuck, much better to believe the thoughts you cook up in your own head. But nice dodge on the “not gonna do your legwork for you” thing. LOOK IT UP, Chuck. You don’t believe me? Believe your lying eyes.
Why can’t you just argue that Wanda Sykes’ act is every bit of an insult to intelligent people as Ann Coulter’s act? What is so difficult about that?
Why entrench to defend all the horrible things Ann Coulter has said (documented in many places if only you had the courage to look) while simultaneously slamming Wanda Sykes? Do you want to look like a fool?
Liberal Sword, where is the punchline that private, radio talk show host, Rush Limbaugh is the 20th highjacker & an oxycotin user? In the meantime, Obama laughed like a little boy at Christmas the whole time.
Alright sword, tell WHERE is the punchline? I know the answer to this question so don’t BS me with hyperbole & filibusters. Just answer the question.
The roast was meant to make fun of Obama–not the Republicans. This was another failure given Obama’s thin skin.
Also worthy of comment is the degenerate state of American comedy. I remember funny comedians like Lucille Ball, Bob Newhart, Red Skelton, etc? Can you imagine Lucille Ball doing this or using the f word?
A second issue is the ghetto culture that Obama has brought with him. It is low class, angry, hateful, vulgar, and obscene. It seems that the whole of the American “better” class is slumming!
O.K., I only had time to read about 30 comments so if somebody else said this, forgive me.
She did not say she wanted “an American citizen and taxpayer” to die. She didn’t do it.
She said she hoped Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys fail. That was a play on Rush hoping Obama fails. Rush did not say he hoped Obama died, and Sykes didn’t say she hoped Rush died.
My uncle’s kidneys failed last year. He’s still alive. Things have been tough, he really misses beer, but he’s alive. Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys could fail and he’d still be living.
She did make a silly Oxycontin joke and also called for Limbaugh to be waterboarded. I found both those lines a bit more offensive than the kidney joke.
Leon de Winter wrote this aricle without quoting the comment he found so offensive. He was such a coward that he dared not mention Limbaugh’s name until the last paragraph. I also found it astounding that de Winter couldn’t find anything better to say about Limbaugh than the facts that he’s an American citizen and he pays taxes.
This was a piece of petty garbage. I come to Pajamas Media because I usually find intelligent conservative writers and/or posters. This article was terrible. I expect better here.
“Northern Light”
Kidney failure = death
That is a medical fact. Take your swipes at the article writer and the conservative commenters and mix them in your PreparationH. Limbaugh said he wanted Obama to fail and qualified the statement by stating it as specific to Obama’s proposed taking the country down the road to socialism.
He wanted socialism to fail. I can’t help it if you find that to be offensive.
For once, I just wish all the people in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe who want socialism would just move to those countries where it is most implemented. If you want it, go there and stay there. Don’t inflict your failed ideology on the rest of us.

“My uncle’s kidneys failed last year. He’s still alive. Things have been tough, he really misses beer, but he’s alive. Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys could fail and he’d still be living.”
You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Kidneys have nothing to do with beer. That would be a liver. Kidneys fail and people die unless they get a transplant, like my young wife did 2 years ago. You are uneducated and proving it.
p.s. Let you uncle drink up…I am a doctor, in moderation of course.
I think it’s interesting that the President can laugh at jokes being made about killing a private citizen, but if a private citizen makes a joke about killing the President they can be arrested by the Secret Service. But I’m not really surprised at this. Democrats are very quick to dish it out (I’m surprised they don’t remember some of the amazing and hateful things they said about Bush), but they sure can’t take it when anybody, like Rush, criticizes their “God” Obama. Liberals are such cowards.

When the jokes were flying the other way you called it free speech… when the wind changed its direction you all want to secede with Texas.
Leave Barry alone he was told to laugh at the jokes.
Northern Light, she also made jokes about Rush being the 20th terrorist—you know, 9/11 is always SO funny, and always good for a laugh!
But she didn’t really say she wanted Rush to die, she just said she wanted his kidneys to fail. Your kidneys can fail, ya see, but you don’t always die from it! I mean, sure, lots of people die, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she meant she wants Rush to die! I mean, she just wants his kidneys to fail, but she didn’t EXACTLY, in so many words, so she wants Rush to die, blah, blah, blahblah. . .

Chuck Pelto has made it clear he dislikes/hates gay people so his comments regarding a gay comic are irrelevant. Even if she was nothing but pleasant he’d have nothing nice to say (hence his numerous comments…his attention is not otherwise as focused unless we are talking about guns or war stories). Disregard him (on this topic) and move on.
That aside, she went too far given the audience and Obama needs to do the same learning Bush needed upon being new to the office. Trying to smile and look pleasant when you shouldn’t takes some practice (given the international spotlight). Bush learned it during his first year or two and he dispensed with the ‘Dead or alive’ and ‘Mission Accomplished’ faux pas (no, not the same thing, but part of the learning). Still, if Obama doesn’t learn this lesson, or those are his real/personal/private reactions, he’ll pay for it (and rightfully so).

Muppet boy, thanks for the laugh! Comedy gold!
Here’s a suggestion: Let’s keep asking Muppet boy just how he knows Obama’s junk is big. Is it because all black men have supersized ones, Muppet? Isn’t that a bit stereotypical? Do they all have rhythm too?
Either Muppet has been up close and personal with our Prez(don’t tell Michelle, she’ll pound Muppet into dog meat) or he’s just given PJM readers insight into his fantasy life.
Imagine little undersized Muppet in his bathroom, dreaming about The One’s big, black – you get the idea. Lacking adequate equipment himself, he has projected his desires onto his dark-skinned Messiah.
Now we know why he spends hours upon hours writing veritable novels of B.S. on a rightwing blog day after day and week after week, spewing venom at all who dare question his hero’s motives, character, etc. It’s not Soros folks, Muppie boy,is in love. And Obama worship is his religion.
Obamamessiah saith to Muppet Man “I am the Lord, Thy God. Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Besides Me.” And Muppet, filled with awe of The One’s Great Phallus, squeaks back “Oh, yes, my master. I will worship and adore thee, and smite my enemies.”
(Of course, being smote by Muppet is like being hit with a feather duster by Liberace, but he tries, folks, he tries,…,)
Thank you, Muppie, for this invaluable insight into your character. I don’t even have to pretend to take you seriously from this point on.
Folks, let’s just point and laugh at the lovesick fool.

The left will always say Rush is fair game, and I suppose he is, but when they attacked Tony Snow, who was dying of cancer, it put them in a league we had not seen before. Tony was a good guy, and never said an unkind word about anyone.
It doesn’t matter rather you are a moderate, libertarian or classic liberal, you are just as likely to be grinded up, if you dare to cross paths with the leftist cultist.
Yes, it’s clear that conservatives have much more class than their political opponents: Barack the magic negro, telebama, zobama, zerobama, teleprompter jesus and obamanation are but a few of the “witty” things heard here on a daily basis by those who denounce the left for name-calling.
And I’ve noted a couple of references on just this thread to end of days and revelations; apparently the president of the US is now accused of being the antichrist. In other news, conservatives are protesting about being referred to as “bible thumping nutjobs.”
And the beat goes on.
Obama is an absolute disgrace to the office of President.

Before he can even begin to learn the lesson, he has to care, but alas, he does not. Not only does he not care, he hates Limbaugh’s guts with every inch of his body, including the focus of his anatomy the Master of Puppets is so infatuated with. So, no need to go there (in more ways than one)……….

In 2007, my 75 year old father, in the last stages of Parkinson’s Disease, had renal failure and spent the last two days of his life unconscious. I suppose there are worse ways to die, but it is a sorrowful thing to watch someone go like that.
Wanda Sykes has made a joke that the same thing should happen to Rush Limbaugh. Obama laughed.
Let me repeat: When faced with a “joke” about a person dying in a sad, drawn-out process, our modern-day messiah *laughed*.
So, let’s say Obama’s half brother in Kenya has his ramshackle hut fall down on him and it kills him. That should be a comedic riot, no? Isn’t that situation intrinsically funnier than organ failure? Shouldn’t Obama find that hilarious? Shouldn’t Wanda Sykes make great fun out of that at her next speaking engagement?
Of course not. But this incident only confirms my opinion of our current Commander in Chief and those whose company he seems to prefer. I only hope that his welcome among people who have even a modicum of discernment will be worn out by 2012.

I thought it was a huge mistake for President to disgrace himself by using words like waz’up and heezy. It sounded real phony and very unbecoming.
100 and 101:
Its pretty sad when chuck pelto is more astute than one much less two other people, in this case you two. A President guffawing at tasteless jokes representing an attack on an individual is one thing. But no president before this has laughed at a public event at such jokes. And no one has to object to every remark by Ann Coulter and whoever to find what our President does at a public event to be inappropriate. We expect more in terms of taste from our Prez. I know Herb has a taffy-like brain but i expected more of sheesh.
The thing that bothered me the most about the Wanda Sykes “jokes” was that she lied so brazenly about what Limbaugh had said in order to set up her jokes. Most everyone is focused on the viciousness of the “humor”. Only a few people have challenged her “quotes” from Limbaugh, which she did not present in a joking manner.
This controversy furthers the negative perceptions about Limbaugh which the Obama administration seems so eager to push, even when the White House later tries to distance itself from that part of Sykes’ performance.
Jeff G. over at Protein Wisdom talks about the White House Press Secretary’s later statement that topics such as 9/11 should be matters of serious reflection and not comedy.
“Evidently, Obama’s method of ‘serious reflection’ on subjects that shouldn’t be joked about is to laugh at the jokes made about them, then to declare that such laughter is inappropriate — though, given his reaction, presumably he means inappropriate for others.
Otherwise, the White House would be apologizing for the President’s reaction rather than declaring that what he laughed at shouldn’t be funny to anyone else going forward…
It’s good to be the king.”
I would have cringed if Sykes had said that about ANYONE. Anyone that thinks this is “funny” needs to do a gut check. I watched a few minutes of her routine at that dinner and my first thought was, “Who in the world okay’d that script?”
If Obama was not embarrassed by that, he is truly worse than I thought.
“Nancy Pelosi launched from a trebuchet? C’mon you know that’d be funny. At least be honest with yourself.”
I don’t want Nancy’s kidneys to fail or see her launched from anything. I want her to take her rightful place in the world: Retired from politics and enjoying her time with her grandkids and engaging in a hobby that doesn’t involve dictating the rules for a few hundred million others.
That’s being honest with myself, you and everyone else.

David Seaton (#184), your post displays the ignorance the liberal Left feeds upon like leeches. If you have actually listened to Rush Limbaugh’s show, you would not have made this ignorant, stupid statement.
Rush Limbaugh respects all of his listeners, but he targets the Left & exposes their true nature; like a vampire exposed to sunlight, they abhor the truth & go on ad hominem attacks. The Left cannot fight against Rush’s arguments; therefore, they attack him personally. It tells me the Left has nothing to stand on except hate.
There was nothing that Wanda Sykes said that was offensive. Her jokes about Rush Limbaugh were a perfect reflection of the type of humor that he uses, and a very appropriate way to call him out.
I was more struck by the contrast between Bush, who always appeared to be a clueless idiot, and Obama, who clearly understood what was going on, and made some pretty good jokes of his own.
Wanda Sykes made a joke about a morbidly obese blowhard, using his own hypocrisy as a tool to skewer the man. How this could be considered hateful is beyond me. It’s a joke, people!

Your success in baiting some of the usual catfish eaters and stump jumpers into baying after your “other people said bad things too” diversion does not make you right: the issue is a President’s reaction to a bad joke: he’s not the man on the next barstool. Admit it thou knave.

Perhaps in your mind this would be funny. This would certainly be consistent with your sadistic tendencies.
In my mind, the joke depends on Rush’s well-known advocacy for harsh treatment of drug users, while abusing drugs himself, and upon the relation of this abuse to the potential “failure” of a critical organ system. The parallel with Rush Limbaugh’s advocacy for the failure of the President, and the impact this would have on the USA, is very clear, and the joke was clearly funny on this basis. Furthermore it was not even offered as a “wish” – it was offered as a hypothetical.
Exposing hypocrisy is funny. Exposing your own sadism is just sad, Chuck.

I still offer and advocate for peace. Your advocacy for wishing harm on your fellow man is just pathetic. If you really think wishing for me to have brain cancer is funny – explain why. Otherwise, I can only assume that you are merely indulging your love for masturbatory sadism. If you really think Sykes’ comments were beyond the pale, make an argument. Personal attacks are not an argument.
P.S. Kidney failure is a disease that can be successfully treated – it is not a death sentence. Your choice of brain cancer as a foil reveals that you don’t appreciate the subtlety of medical humor. I expect better from you.
Kathleen Parker, columnist for the Washington Post (and a conservative no less) skewers all the Sykes-haters in her latest:

Choice bits:
“Rush Limbaugh is rich in satire ops — and Sykes missed them. That the president was captured on video laughing during the joke, alas, was also a gift to the sorry-loser crowd. One minute he’s handing the queen an iPod, the next he’s laughing at dumb jokes. What’s next? Invading a country?”
Doh!
But this part is the kicker:
“What’s clear, meanwhile, is that even humor has become a partisan affair. If you’re not a fan of Limbaugh, you laughed. If you don’t like Obama, you were ratified in your certitude that the president isn’t up to snuff.
Lost in the frenzy is the more important matter of our thin-skinned intolerance and our reflexive lurch to take offense. We might remind ourselves that it’s always the fanatics who can’t take a joke.”

Yes it is, and nicely done! But you must be getting tired moving those goalposts. The issue isn’t a BAD joke like those I tell at parties where only friends laugh and everyone else looks puzzled. It was a TASTELESS and vicious joke unbecoming for a President to enjoy, any more than we expect a Supreme Court justice to be slapping his or her thigh over some racial joke.
The behaviorial standard of a comic is not that of a President. You can prove this elemental point by vomiting in public after a hangover or picking your nose in front of paparazzi: aside from famaily or kids, and maybe an employer, few will care. Or using steroids or even fixing a baseball game. Not so if Obama does it, right?
You can’t rescue Sheesh from his intellectually untenable stand out on the limb by comparing Bush’s “Mission Acomplished,” which is more akin to “I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski.”

I’ve heard enough from the trolls claiming that the Republican party is in ruins and devoid of ideas. Obama and the Democrats have shown up like it’s Christmas and they’re going to play Santa with our money. In fact, if I recall correctly, Hillary had a campaign ad that showed her hanging ornaments on a Christmas tree that said (among others) universal healthcare, universal childcare and such. At the time I thought that was a very appropriate way of expressing what the left wants to do.
Much like a divorced parent who refuses to play this game of trying to buy their child’s love, the right is quite unwilling to mortgage our children’s future to buy electoral popularity. At some point, Obama’s house of cards will fall down and the populace will embrace the correctness of the conservative policies.
The right is not bereft of ideas, it’s simply that their ideas do not include a bag of goodies. But that does not mean they are inferior. Quite the opposite. The most recent elections were not a rejection of these ideas. In fact, our current sojourn in the wilderness was brought about by our failure to adhere to our ideas.
The best government is not one that seeks a cause to champion, but one that allows the people to become champions of their own cause.

Yet rather than respond with a counter fact or even to what was said, you go on the personal attack.
When someone resorts to ad-hom like this, it means they lost. Everyone knows this. Next time, try responding to the topic.
#212 – Should Obama fail, the only viable alternative is the GOP. If the voters reject his excess this is *not* the same thing as them demanding a hard right turn.
I would not say that a return to the supply-side economics that has been the foundation for our country’s greatest prosperity, as well as that of other countries that emulated the American model to great success, is such a hard right turn. Point of fact, supply-side has been quite mainstream for the past 30 years.
Our fellow Americans, who experienced the Great Depression, would be quite amused to see that we can say in all seriousness, that someone who owns an IPOD, a cellphone, a computer, a DVD player and one or more TVs, is impoverished.
Watching Cheney last week on the Fox interview caused a nostalgic sense of melancholy remebering the times when the federal government was still run by adults, and not narcisstic, adolescent wankers.

And it WILL ‘come apart’. It’s beginning to already. He’s losing his supporters as he continually throws them under his ‘bus’. Even Andrew Sullivan is FINALLY figuring it out. That he and his homosexual ‘buds’ were lied to. The REAL kicker is business. All those big-time donators who contributed to his campaign are realizing THEY’RE the ones who are going to be fleeced to support these programs. Not that the middle-class won’t be fleeced at the same time, but the ‘shears’ will be different for them. They’ll realize it a bit later.
As I said, the fit is going to hit the proverbial shan and everyone who put this cretin in the Oval Office is going to be ashamed. And a good number of them are going to be PO’d.

As opposed to a poorly written and reasoned column, I would like to post a much better and more interesting analysis:
“Why Is That Man Smiling?
By Kathleen Parker
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
There’s nothing un-funnier than Saturday night’s jokes reviewed by the caffeinated light of Monday morning.
Which is why we probably shouldn’t quarterback a comedian over coffee when she was performing for a crowd primed on cocktails.
That reasonable rule seems not to apply, however, when the venue is the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and one of the revelers happens to be the president of the United States. Whether he laughs, smiles or frowns carries political freight far beyond the moment.
Washington buzz lately has become a buzz saw.
In the days since the correspondents’ dinner, reaction to Barack Obama’s reaction to Wanda Sykes’s one-liners has resembled a confederacy of scolds. What dreary, sensitive wretches we’ve become.
Do I think Sykes was a monument to hilarity? No, but she was funny much of the time. Do I think her now-infamous Rush Limbaugh jokes were over the top? Yeah. That’s a comedian for you. Do I think her performance — and Obama’s apparent amusement — marks the decline of civilization? This is hardly a new development.
I do think we take ourselves far too seriously — and literally.
For those who’ve somehow managed to avoid the controversy, Sykes joked that Limbaugh, whom she compared to Osama bin Laden, might have been the 20th hijacker, but was “just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight.” She also suggested that Rush might be guilty of treason for hoping Obama’s policies fail.
In a final flourish, she said: “Rush Limbaugh, ‘I hope the country fails’ — I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a waterboarding, that’s what he needs.”
Ho-ho-ho. The audience did not, in fact, roar with laughter, at least not compared to other jokes during the evening. From where I sat, most who laughed were reacting to the outrageousness of the “joke.” Even Sykes acknowledged that she’d gone too far, but noted that we’d be talking about it later. She got that part right.
My own thought at the time was: “Oh, dear. She just gave Rush the gift of a lifetime.” But as a committed non-literalist, I assumed Sykes didn’t really think that Rush is a terrorist. That she didn’t really hope he suffers kidney failure. Or that he needs a good waterboarding.
Rush Limbaugh is rich in satire ops — and Sykes missed them. That the president was captured on video laughing during the joke, alas, was also a gift to the sorry-loser crowd. One minute he’s handing the queen an iPod, the next he’s laughing at dumb jokes. What’s next? Invading a country?
Let’s be clear. The joke was a dud. But you’d think from the scurrying of tiny feet that we were on the verge of appointing a Special Commission on Acceptable Humor. Don’t laugh. At this rate, it may be coming.
If Sykes deserves criticism, it’s for being un-clever. To be funny, a joke has to reveal some truth buried deep in the collective psyche. As when Sykes said she wouldn’t need to waterboard Sean Hannity to get information, because all she’d need to do is put him in a middle seat in coach.
Now that’s funny — not because we infer that Hannity is a diva, but because we’re all divas when it comes to the middle seat. We have personal experience with that bit of torture. During a recent four-hour flight wedged between two folks who’ve apparently yet to decline dessert, I’d have confessed to whatever Sykes wanted for an upgrade to first class.
Alas, the joke on Limbaugh bore no resemblance to truth and therefore wasn’t funny. She didn’t get under our skin with a scalpel; she hit us over the head with a cudgel. Limbaugh isn’t like bin Laden or a Sept. 11 hijacker. His dislike of Obama’s policies and his hope that they fail do not equate to hoping the country fails. No one’s drug addiction is amusing.
That said, the punch lines weren’t as awful as they now seem after numerous reruns. Nothing’s funny the 27th time. What’s clear, meanwhile, is that even humor has become a partisan affair. If you’re not a fan of Limbaugh, you laughed. If you don’t like Obama, you were ratified in your certitude that the president isn’t up to snuff.
Lost in the frenzy is the more important matter of our thin-skinned intolerance and our reflexive lurch to take offense. We might remind ourselves that it’s always the fanatics who can’t take a joke.

Originally, the Leftists loved being called liberal, but many of their liberal policies failed; therefore, over time, liberal became a dirty word. What does Leftists do? They change the word. It’s now “progressives.” Progressive is the same meaning as liberal & soon “progressive” will be just as dirty a word as “liberal.”
Y’all don’t get it. Your Leftist policies are poison & you keep ramming down the same old, Leftist shtick.
Y’all better get a Thesaurus because “progressive” is going to be soiled pretty badly under Obama. So is Socialist. Marxist. Fascist. Communist.

A commission I sit on is looking for a new name, as the current name includes 2010. The idea is that we need something that is not date-limited.
Someone offered a name with the term “Progressive” in it.
It was immediately shot down as having a negative connotation that would not be appreciated by a large portion of the community.

244. Chuck Pelto . . . yeah, by all means go over to that other post . . . another scoop by CP! I know who Rush Limbaugh is! Forget the fact that he can’t discern the difference between, “Hey who is that fat guy who has the largest radio audience in America and has been at the top of the news since he had his oxy-induced cochlear implant installed?” and “Why the hell does Rush Limbaugh matter?” And this moron says he’s in Mensa? If so, Mensa has moved from IQ standard to entrance based on hat size.
Now, of course, to believe Chuck’s claim that I lied to about him about not knowing Limbaugh, you would have to consider Chuck to be a functioning mongoloid. While this remains in the universe of possible realities, it gives way to an even more disappointing likelihood – Chuck is acting out to divert attention from the pain he’s feeling from being skewered by yours truly in #241 and #243.

This is why Farrakhanm et.al, called him the Messiah. He is a 24 hour salesman and agitprop artist. That is his JOB.
His JOB is not to be a President for the American People.
His JOB is to ALTER the perceptions of the American People and pass his Communistic, West-destroying agenda.
His JOB is to creat an Afro-Centric WORLD.
It’s not about Republicans and Democrats.
The One eats, sh*ts, breathes only to CHANGE. He could care a rat’s ass about America. He wants his Global Village and his place in history.
There was no real humor there: nor is there in any of the “jokes” we are subjected to on daytime television, etc. nowadays: only insults, name-calling, obscenity, vulgarity and violence. This is what passes for WIT.
Calling names is not humor nor is it wit.
Have you ever seen a busload of inner city disruptive Junior Highs ? They squauk, preen, bully, defame, purposfully disrupt, and vie boastfully with each other to see who has gotten away with the most hate, racism, broken the most laws, had the most explicit sex, humiliated the most people, disrespected their parents, etc. etc.loudly, arrogantly. Their strength lies in numbers and their commitment to getting power over others by any means necessary, and in their utter lack of commitment to the civil society. They will obey no rules but their own; they institute the law of the jungle, much as in the Lord of the Flies. Any veneer of civility is skin deep and cracks easily showing the essential race partisan savage just beneath the surface.
Since they know what they are, they have low self esteem and need to scapegoat and project their sins and weaknesses; hence the constant need to beat up on Conservatives, white people,religion, etc.
This is what’s in control now. Only they have gone through higher education, become Communists, own a lot of technology and wear suits. They almost look…..civilized.

Twisted humor is often a mask over fear. We have a half black Pres laughing his head off about the rants of a black comedian that is wishing the death of a white person with an opposing view of the world.
“Those of us who do the work in the district know that the rates of infection are very high,” said Earl Fowlkes. “We see these cases all the time.”
This year’s report shows a 22 percent increase in HIV/AIDS cases since 2006. It says that among reported cases, nearly 70 percent are men and 76 percent are African American.
Fowlkes says the high rate of infection in the African American population is more a matter of economics than race.
1% if this male group have the death sentence in D.c.
There are more black men dying there of aids than piggy flu. Folks we are in an epidemic. What is the Pres doing about this?
(by the way it is more about economics than race? No you do not get aids from an empty wallet.) It is about behavior.

Looks like Pelto has moved on and you’ll have to harass him elsewhere. It was still a classless joke and more imprtantly, one at which no president should laugh, at least in public. I bet you wouldn’t laugh at it in public. Even Nixon knew enough to confine his rants to the taped solitude in the oval office.
