'SNL' Palin 'Incest' Skit Angers Viewers (Hey Obama, when are you going to condemn SNL?)
WBAL TV ^ | 9/22/2008 | wbal

For the second week in a row, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" has taken to lampooning Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- but this time, it has angered conservative viewers over a skit that suggests that the Alaska governor's husband, Todd Palin, was having sex with the couple's daughters.

In the skit, show guest host James Franco plays an assignment editor at the New York Times at the head of an editorial meeting. During a mock assignment meeting where the paper announced that 50 reporters were being sent to look for dirt on Sarah Palin, a Times "reporter" asks, "What about the husband? You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska."

In response, Franco's character said, "He very well could be. Admittedly, there is no evidence of that, but on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence to the contrary. And these are just some of the lingering questions about Gov. Palin."

Remember the old rule, plant the seeds. Everyone already knows the NY Slimes is a piece of crap but SNL attempted to plant seeds of this grotesque innuendo.

You got that right. Why waste time watching some left wing crap?
The left loves to insert Politics into every message. Just like the Communists and Nazis. They cant have a show or a skit without promoting their ideas. Scary, isnt it?

Believe what you like, but you’re attempting to trash a scathing indictment of the DBM. That does not make sense. Even if SNL is generally left-leaning, in this case, and in the case of the bailout skit, the enemy of our enemy is our friend. We would do well to count to ten and APPLY SOME ANALYSIS before ranting and shooting from the hip.

This took place three weeks ago. You’re a little late. The implication is that you didn’t even see the skit you’re posting about.

Most normal people find the mere innuendo gross and most normal people know what SNL was attempting to portray. I have yet to hear a word from Obama for his SNL supporters to knock it off and yesterday Tina Fay admitted she was doing these skits to get Obama elected and will only quit on Nov 5. If you didn't like the thread then you didn't have to respond.

I just wonder what kind of reaction there would have been if someone had said something like "You just know Obama is doing his daughters.... He is black, you know."

No, I don't wonder.

"It's the seriousness of the charge."

That's what you just said. Unbelievable.

“...Scary, isnt it?”

I don’t know about “scary”.....tedious and odius are terms that come to mind.

Not a day passes that my level of contempt, disgust and hatred fails to increase in intensity.

Yep. SNL planted the seeds of innuendo of a very gross subject and for 3 weeks now the libs have run with these SNL skits. Where is the Obama condemnation of these skits?

I’m sorry...I’m an elite white guy...I have DirecTV and never entertain common TV. What is an “SNL? Southern National League? A ball club of some kind? I’ve never seen them on ESPN High Definition or The Discovery Channel High Definition.../s

The premise of this “skit” is within reason of the typical supporter of todays Democrat Party, ie; lowlife scum.

Ahhhh..for the good ol’ days when one could communicate intellectually with most any Democrat, and come to agreement. Not so today as those flying the Dem flag are actually Socialists. There is no such thing as communicating intellectually with cement, and one might be considered somewhat odd if found to be attempting to do so.

The “skit” addresses their choir, and IMO will send moral undecideds running for McCain/Palin.

That’s just sick; and part of why I haven’t watched that sick program in 20 years.

I don't watch that trash either but every cable news channel from CNN to even Fox has been promoting these skits. They ask from Mon-Fri “what will SNL do next?” then on Sunday-Thurs replay the weeks skits about Palin over and over. Some here on FR seem to enjoy this kind of liberal crap.

That may well be exactly what the NYT editorial board is thinking.

He won’t condemn it. SNL is a tool of NBC being used to promote Obama and make McCain/Palin look like indept idiots in the name of “comedy”. NBC/MSNBC/CNBC no longer exists in my household. Boycott them and their advertisers. Driver them out of business. The have been the major propagandists of this election.
