WH Dings Comedian for Joke at WH Correspondents' Dinner

Ryan C:
Let me introduce you to
Senator Robert C Byrd, Democrat from
West Virgina!
You Dems know a lot about white hoods
and hangings and repressing black people! Or did you conveniently forget
the 1960's when Racist Democrat
Southern Governors like Lestor Maddox of
Georgia and George Wallace of Alabama
were hosing and beating blacks!
Sorry, I guess that's an
Inconvenient Truth!
Here's another Inconvenient Truth:
The 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed
in spite of Democrat Party opposition
by the Republicans in Congress!
Learn some history before you make
a fool of yourself!

I think we all, everyone posting and complaining about anything someone says needs a reality check. Words are just that words. Why spend hours worring over what a person says rather it's Rush, Hannity, Combs, O'Riley, Janeane Garofalo, or whoever. Instead we should care what is actually done. If you have issues with comedians or pundants stop listening to them. They have a right to say what they want without having to care what you or anyone else thinks.

"Would it matter if you did?"

I dunno...does the truth matter? As for the bow to the King of a foreign country, I have no trouble with that whatsoever. It's a formal, diplomatic gesture. Anybody with a couple hot brain cells to rally together knows it was not an endorsement of anything at all. In fact, those all bent out of shape about it are freaking hilarious.

"Secondly, I still haven't seen video, or even acknowledgement of video, of Obama laughing at that."

Would it matter if you did? You would just dismiss it as a series of muffled sneezes or a look of concern while rapidly nodding his head in disapproval.

This is the same man who didn't bow to the anti-gay, anti-women, anti-American, anti-religious freedom, anti-Israel King of Saudi Arabia after all.

"Obama is crude and immature. Let's move on."

Oh--if ONLY we could!

Is the loading dock clear? I have a pallette of faux outrage I need to unload.

First of all, I can't find where she said she wants him dead...just a cheeky comment about if he wants the country to fail, how about if she wants his kidneys to fail.

Secondly, I still haven't seen video, or even acknowledgement of video, of Obama laughing at that. Not that I'd care, because she didn't say she wants him dead.

Now, back to that faux outrage...

"And yet none of the videos show Obama laughing at the Limbaugh joke."

Are you raising this point to suggest that he didn't laugh? Because it's been shown on television repeatedly. I've seen him laughing at the joke on CNN, FOX and ABC.

Obama is crude and immature. Let's move on.

I can't stream media at work, but my google search doesn't indicate that he laughed at the joke.

This is straight out of a West Wing episode, btw.

"You know links aren't allowed here. The video is all over the internet. Google it. There are enough videos of it out there to keep you busy for the rest of the week."

And yet none of the videos show Obama laughing at the Limbaugh joke.

Where is a link to video of Obama laughing at the Limbaugh joke?

You know links aren't allowed here. The video is all over the internet. Google it. There are enough videos of it out there to keep you busy for the rest of the week.

Why didn't Gibbs answer the question from the NYT reporter who asked what the president's reaction was to the Limbaugh joke? We all saw the video. Obama laughed. He didn't just smile. He laughed.

The kicker here is how Liberals & the media would have reacted to jokes about black civil rights leaders or Obama coke use in his earlier years, or bad taste jokes about Obama father and other family members...etc if it had been a comedian who went after the president and his administration.

Jokes that attecked the various tax problems of so many Obama appointees.

Would all of you have been enjoying the laughs, or complaining ?

"When in doubt, the right wing makes it up."

And oftentimes when *not* in doubt.

Where is a link to confirmation that the White House approved all jokes beforehand? I've never heard of that being the case at the WHCD.

Where is a link to video of Obama laughing at the Limbaugh joke?

per The Brother Gibbs:
..we regret that the horse got out of the barn.. we would have shut the door and are shutting it now.. if it were our door, but the lady in charge of the horse and the door was sitting in the front.. she did open the door after all and we are sorry that the horse did so much damage.. but we didn't book the horse...

"When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out."

The uproarious cheers when Obama "joked" to the press corps that "all of you voted for me" says it all. Our mainstream media is morally bankrupt and worse, they know it, and don't even care.

I thought she was funny too. Rush gets nothing less than he deserves including a HUGE pay cheque for being a blow hart.

I think the reason you see so many people commenting on how the left seem to worship this unfunny creep. Many in our modern times have forgotten that all people everywhere always end up worshiping SOMETHING!! It may be money, sports, celebrities, ect. Most of our younger generation have forgotten God. If you mention any kind of morals, beliefs, they just think you're uneducated, stupid and foolish and most of the time, all three. We are a nation who has forgotten that there is a God...and it's NOT Obama. The liberals just mixed up who they were SUPPOSED to worship.

I thought she was funny.rush should be able to take after all the crap he puts out.

moderate...This is why the country is so divided ..Obama should do everything in his power to put a stop to these things before they happen...Obama was given her jokes and should have told her no way clean it up...The joke about 911 i seen nothing funny about it..And alot of american's seen nothing funny about it...Obama needs to grow up and start acting like he's our President because the more he lets it happen and then says oh it's just a joke is a shame...And if he doesn't put a stop to it it's going to cost him in the next election...People are sick of it!!!
