'I hope Rush’s kidneys fail'

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....

Obama and Sykes are cut from the same radical cloth and share the same views and the same agenda.
'I hope Rush’s kidneys fail'
Problem: Political Correctness only applies to conservatives.
I believe it is our duty to point out the hypocrisy every time we get the chance.
Why was it ok for Garofalo to pronounce actual brain defects on people she disagreed with? Where were the mental illness groups to cry foul?
When Democrats talk about why Democrats are the party for black folks, they always say it’s because of social welfare. So...WHO just pronounced an entire race unable to make it in the USA without welfare? Who is the racist?
The capacity for bigotry seems to be inherent in human nature. Children and sadly adults have to be taught that it is not acceptable to hate someone because of the color of their skin or their gender etc.
Sadly, since the far left owns the mainstream media, there is no negative feedback given to cruel children like Sykes, Obama and and the people that would make fun of the mutilation of a child. These horrible people receive no societal pressure to change their way of thinking. It is socially acceptable to viciously and personally attack conservatives and anyone that doesn’t agree with the socialist agenda, just as it used to be socially acceptable to use the N word or belong to the KKK.
Unfortuantely the bigotry against Conservatives, Christians, Southerners, Heterosexuals etc., is becomming more not less socially acceptable.
As repulsive as Sykes is, she’s nowhere near as repulsive as Zero or his stump-legged wife.

Barry thinks people with Down’s Syndrome, 9/11 hijackers, waterboarding and kidney failure
are side splitting and hysterically funny.
If any of us worked with someone with such a creepy sense of humor,
we’d be calling Human Resources and reporting a potential work place threat.
No Republican would ever be allowed to display such perversity and not only have it ignored, but, celebrated by the media.
I think the more this sort of stuff comes out of the left the more it makes all of them look like petulant teenagers who don’t know what they are doing and aren’t ready to run anything.
Everyone missed the little glimpse into the culture of the White House that Obama revealed in his speech.
He joked about Rahm Emanuel having a problem putting the word “day” after “mother”.
The clear implication was that Rahm Emanuel uses the the phrase “Mother F%$ker” frequently in the White House.
What does this tell us about the culture of Obama’s administration where a staff member can use foul expletives, it’s considered acceptable, and even something to joke about to the nation.
We’ve come a long way from the Days when Reagan wouldn’t remove his suit coat out of respect for the Oval Office and the office that he held.
Wanda’s comments about Rush & Sarah got to me. Obama doesn’look healthy to me, maybe because his mother & grandmother both had cancer. Some people never grow up.
Well stated. The double standard is despicable.
Don’t her remarks make her an “extremist” or a “terorist”?
