BTW jvie...its not because "Rush doesn't agree with him" its because Rush says he hopes Obama fails, and many see that as hoping that America feel. OK, Mr. Patriotic?

Real classy guy you're defending there.


And Rush didn't illegally abuse controlled substances either.



More like "I am God...kneel before me. Bow down batches!"
Rush Limbaugh isnt president, and you might remember he did get pretty beat up. One could say Rush gets beat up for what he says and does far more than Obama does. I mean, Obama is laughing at Rush's drug addition and hoping his kidneys fail. And yet Obama makes fun of mentally disabled, calls his own grandmother a racist, and dont even get started on Michelle and Joe.

Where has Obama ever said that he wants Rush's Kidneys to fail? i don't think he ever said that. Besides, its was a joke... don't normal people laugh at jokes?

BTW, every normal person "makes fun" of other people, including people of their own race, creed, ethnicity... ect. not being able to laugh at your lineage, yourself or others must be a miserable fucking existence.

What pisses me off is that people take jokes personally. a joke is a joke, calm down. At least the democrats have a sense of humor. I have yet to hear a "conservative" or a "republican" make any kind of good joke. but hey, prove me wrong, find one and send me the link. but your gonna have a hard time.

Well, Libertarians are the funniest bunch.

South Park is definitely not a product of the left and it's the funniest show on television.

Also, there is not any funny political humor from the left (most of it just comes off as whiny and childish). The right has plenty of humorous talk show hosts (Hannity, Mike McConnell, Billy Cunningham, Glenn Beck etc....)

Well i wouldn't really give south park a political stance, from someone who knows absolutely nothing about the creator but loves the show i would say its dead center. It makes fun of everyone. but thats just my opinion.

As for "(Hannity, Mike McConnell, Billy Cunningham, Glenn Beck etc....)" i would most definitely NOT consider these political comedy. nice try though...

And you said "there is not any funny political humor from the left"... how about "Daily Show", "Colbert Report" (yes this is left wing), "Real Time"... the list goes on. All of which are left. Funny as shit too.

I'm sorry, but you need to listen to the creators of South Park. They absolutely hate the left (the show is not in the middle).

John Stewart and the Colbert Report is not that funny, this stuff is made for high school kids.

I guess they are funny if you are a die hard left winger, however, I wouldn't be bragging about that (really trying hard to not insult you because of your taste of humor).

As I said before, the funniest shit comes from Libertarians.

Re: Wanda Sykes...

I actually missed seeing Wanda Sykes on the tele, and seeing her in action like that is funny. I kinda enjoyed her Rush-Limbaugh-kidney joke. I mean, I can see how it can be offensive, but I mean, it was only a joke!

No, I can't deny that. He's like a guy on the right that is typical of the left and it's funny to see him make the leaps he does in his arguments.

Beck on the other hand is down to earth, to the point and really funny.


edit: With Hannity, it's fun to laugh at him, with Beck it's fun to laugh with him.

Youve obvisouly never heard Barney Frank sing 'Banking Queen'. Of course this happened on a private talk show by a private citizen, not at a public dinner with the President and White House Correspondents, with the President laughing at someone joking about a citizens drug addiction. I think youre missing the point that the President is not a normal person.

How was Trent Lotts saying Strom Thurman shoulda been president at his birthday offensive? He lost his job for that. Will Obama get any flak for laughing at someones kidneys failing? Of course not. DOuble standard.
