The link goes to the story page. I couldn't link directly to voting page since I already voted, wasn't sure if it would "work" then. Scroll down, you'll see the link written in red font, "Vote: Did Sykes' dinner performance go too far?"

58.1% Yes, she went too far. She called Rush Limbaugh the 20th Sept. 11 hijacker. Sykes even joked that she wants his kidneys to fail. Calling someone a terrorist and wishing them dead crosses the line of decency. 32,078 votes

Wow...this coming from the Moonbat Society at MSNBC...

I’m starting to think that, after Miss California being slandered by P. Hilton, Sykes, Carville, Begalia, etc. that it’s waaayyy past time for us to take the gloves off and intellectually beat the ever living sh*t out of these leftists. Tell it like it is. I couldn’t care less if I’m called racist, homophobic, reactionary. I don’t care. These POS’s are destroying the greatest experiment in the history of mankind right before our eyes, and it is time to step on a few necks.

If you want to hurt her in the pocket go here;

I wrote Applebee’s telling them she was unfit to be a spokesperson...in words to that effect...

http://www.applebees.com/guestcontact.aspx

I know - it’s a pain to fill out...and there might be a cookie...I just don’t care anymore, my spam filter is good and screw these idiots who love to use their celebrity and get no heat - let enough people write and she might have to put some of her repulsive skin in the game...

The lefties are losing the poll, but they are still leaving plenty of comments like these "gems":

"Wanda was funny as hell and saying what people were thinking and I hope Rush's kidneys fail too."

"That's right. What goes around, comes around and Limbaugh deserved it. He is a sickening man and a waste of oxygen."

"Rush is a despicable coward that deserves whatever he gets."

"Republicans will continue to reap the consequences of putting a clown like Limbaugh out as their number one man. Since the Republican party is in the sewer, it is appropriate that they have the Limbaugh turd as their poster boy."

"SCOTT honey, you're delusional. People are leaving the Republican party in droves (like me!) and Rush will have the same losers listening to him he always has had."

I bet the woman claiming to leave the party is a life long Dem.

Interesting results for a PMS-MSNBC poll.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.

Did Sykes go too far?

Nah. Most of us on the right are used to it. Besides the only chance conservatism has a chance is to have the leftists feel comfortable enough with their power to act our their fantasies. The more despicable they are, the more we have a chance to get what’s left of the country back in the next election ... or at least start to.

So far, the Obamarama administration and Democrat congress have exceeded my expectation of utter disaster for America. I don’t think I could have imagined such destruction as he has accomplished in the last 4 months.

Uh Oh, you just did...watch a lib come in and rat you out.

People, who cares! Don’t make a big deal about this? Have you not seen how the libs depict us Conservatives on TV shows and Movies all of the time? I didn’t see that Press Cr*p of course but they could do better. Of course there is a double standard, so we can’t call any Lib a terrorist. When any Conservative gets that reaction from the hardcore libs who are actually destroying our country as we type our little nuances here, then we are doing the right thing and bringing attention to our cause by showing the libs for what they really are. Have them call us Nazis, Terrorists, baby killers; they give up the high ground when they act like that.

Way to go Rush! Keep up the good work!

Rush didn’t bring this up on his website this afternoon. I don’t know if he commented about it on radio since I missed it. I think he is keeping his powder dry to fight another day.

No. It was all in good fun. She knew the audience she was pandering to, and her comedy routine was a big hit with the Democrats in the crowd.

I don’t know. I think she took the Limbaugh jokes a little too far, but she also roasted Democrats too. “The first black president playing basketball — that’s two steps forward, one step back,” Sykes said of the president.

"that it’s waaayyy past time for us to take the gloves off and intellectually beat the ever living sh*t out of these leftists."

The farthest we can go is jokes like Ann Coulter does. No where near as bad.

We can not take it as far as the left we would lose that fight due to the fact they have control of all the media.

Sykes is not important to American taxpayers. Most would not even know who she is or what she even does for a living.
Sykes just started a blog so it was just about publicity.
Sykes used Rush to create an audience.
A poll question of this nature takes away from the real 'wars' that have to be fought; and just gives her blog more press.
I am sure Bill Mahr will immediately seat her in the "cheap shot seats".
I wonder why the Left, declared winners of the last election, are so worried about what our "camp", who incidentally lost by the way, have to say holding with the majority and all that. Even Pelosi has to stoop to a big whopper in attacking the last administration which did not fail in keeping this country safe! I would think she would be proud of that fact! and after the fact.
Did Mr. Dodd not teach Ms. Pelosi that lying can come back to bite you in the Botox?
Sykes is just trying to scrap with Rush to get attention and over what?

Goodbye

My email/contact to Applebee’s:


I cannot BELIEVE you have Wanda Sykes as your spokesperson after her hate-filled diatribe at the WH Correspondent’s Dinner. A respected (if controversial) U.S. Citizen as 20th Hijacker on 9/11??? Suggesting you want him to die from kidney failure?

Until you get rid of her, I will not be spending any of my hard-earned cash at Applebees.

Can you afford to keep such a hateful, evil person as your spokesperson?

When you fire her, I will celebrate that night at my nearest Applebee’s, I promise

If they serve your nearest city, Virgin America is giving seats away for promotion...$249 each round trip for me and two of my boys from the west coast...and you can’t get a better blast of America than camping at, say, GETTYSBURG??? An hour away, but worth the trip...especially if you got young Americans to show around...other good camps around, including inside the beltway.

But, Obama laughed.

This is the types of incident that will live on in voter's minds, long after this event has faded from memory otherwise. The more arrogant and dismissive these people are of conservative and independents, the more it will come back to bite them in the butt when it counts down the road. This will not be the last of such incidents, as reverse bigotry and contempt seem to be not only acceptable, but obligatory in Washington.
