Trump would probably pick-up another 3%-4% if he promised to deport Sandra Bee back to Canada.

I miss the good old days... when comedians were actually funny and smart, and would put offensive hecklers into the hall of shame with their rapier wit.

Just for the sake of discussion, let's assume the behavior Peter Kim described actually happened. If he can't handle hecklers or disruptive audience members, he'll never make it as a comedian. I suspect he knows his career was going nowhere,and this is a convenient way of bailing out and saving face.

Provided that there actually was a Mexican in the audience and a guy really did say that.

All too often the left lies to push their silly agendas.

“feel emboldened by the no-holds-bars, speak-your-mind style”

That’s the no talent “comedians” job.

Comedy has been a cesspool of raunchiness for decades...

Bump. Sanctimonious hypocrites.

Yup. The last few times I went to a comedy club (10 years ago or so) I heard comedians tell “jokes” like:

“Republicans are stupid.”
“Christians are stupid.”
George Bush should be in jail.”

These are not jokes. They aren’t remotely “funny”. Now, if the audience wants to yell out offensive things and if the comedians say, “That bothers me”, then maybe the comedians should go back to being funny.

I think the comment about sitting too close to a Mexican was disgusting, however... this cretin would have had no problem at all if the person had substituted “Conservative” for Mexican.

As for caustic audiences, I’ve been in the midst of some very caustic audiences that were Leftist in nature, and that was just super for those on stage. They loved it, fed off of it, and propagated it.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. All I have to say is, FINALLY!

Let’s be honest here, the comment about the Mexican isn’t what bothered them. They didn’t like push-back on their trashing of Trump and Conservatives.

These same folks would be just fine if a “Mexican” joke were told from stage. Artistic license and all...

I think it’s great all the Leftists are quitting. We could use some fresh decent humor in this nation, absent the trashing of decent people and values.

Excellent of this person to voluntarily sit down and shut up.

Mrs. INFOOL7 and I haven’t been to see a stand up “comic” in years. The innuendo and subtle digs at our conservative / traditional lifestyle have long become tiresome let alone not entertaining. We refuse to pay to be belittled and insulted. especially when we can turn on the news and get that treatment for free.

Trump has opened the door to the great quiet seething rage that virtuous people have been harboring silently for decades.

Snowflakes and Shrinking violets ALERT!

PREPARE FOR THE WORST!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

TRUMP IS COMMIN

AND HE IS BRINGING HELL WITH HIM.

My first thought, too.

The sourpuss left has no sense of humor, because they are so puritanically self-righteous. They simply cannot allow that they are 1) silly, 2) capable of error, 3) exempt from scrutiny or lampooning.

Rush comes on saying jokingly, here come the rape police again, and the oh-so-righteous left accuses him of being pro-rape. There is not use in attempting textured nuanced conversation with them.

Like the loving death in Chicago since Zero took office?

Like the race baiter in the white hut??

And I know the Trump rallies are peaceful, with a handful of hellery protesters going violent.

What is PETER’s opinion of Margaret Cho’s ethnic “humor”?

A little hypocrisy with your tea, Pete?

Ten to one he’s an affirmative action’d token Asian in Second City and was selected on the basis of what he looks like rather than his alleged funniness

He’s quitting to keep from getting fired

We have enough of our own home grown a-holes here, we certainly don’t need to import them.
