Ah, Newt
-
Well, he is a great actor.
-
Oh Ho! Super funny! I'm fuckin' rolling in the aisles bobby d.
-
Yep, cuz every white guy that voted for Obama fid so to prove he's not racist.
I don't think newt understands the difference between the two situations
-
I can't believe the White House apologized for that. What pussies.
-
And yet, Heck and all the rest of the liberal wonks, would go angry and outraged as hell,
if Rush had said it.
They would demand he be fired, and jailed, and tortured.
But let it be said by anybody on their side.... it's great.
See? If it benefits Heck emotionally, it's good. But if it does NOT benefit him emotionally, it's FREAKIN BAD AND DISGRACEFUL.
It's a kind of power - to use the same leverage for yourself, and against others at the same time.
They just keep doing it, and apparently can't help it.
Sad.

I don't think Cal understands the difference either, lol

I think the practice of getting out raged over every little tiny thing and demanding an apology is, or at least should be, embarrassing for everyone.
I think there's a whole lot more of it on the left but no one's hands are clean to be sure.
I'd rather have a "F you, get over it." than a fake apology.

And my oft repeated tagline...
Had a republican made any kind of a racial joke......
Well you get the idea.

Of course, it matters what the joke is.
This one is just a play off the media's meme from 2008.

Exactly...
I mean, the left can say this hurtful hurtful rhetoric but as soon as Bill OReilly calls Obama a N***** the left is up in arms...
Not fair

I meant to say "if"
then the joke would have made more sense
(the joke is about some of you treating situations that aren't similar as the same)

Fair enough.

Problem is, conservative comedy is like left-wing talk radio: it doesn't really work.

That certainly seems true.
But that doesn't explain or excuse the imbalance of outrage.
I mean come on if Newt had said we needed a white first lady......

And the thing with liberal and conservative talk radio is interesting.
It's the liberals, who are usually a lot funnier who are either nasty enough to make limbaugh seem like mister rogers or angry and sullen when they have more than 30 minutes to kill.
Plus you guys had springer!

Because it wouldn't be the same joke. That's why the reaction would be different.
For another thing, for people to laugh when you do racial humor they have to have a sense that you don't actually resent the race of the people you're poking fun of. Newt, of the "food stamp president" and "I don't want to give black people handouts" mold, wouldn't be able to tell those jokes effectively.
People have to think you're trying to be humorous, not derisive. That's key.
