Politically incorrect comic, Chris Warren, owner of the Brickwall Comedy Club in Spokane, Washington was visited by two Special Agents from the Spokane office of the United States Secret Service today about a joke Chris told at his comedy club a few weeks ago. Chris, one of only a few politically conservative comedians in the country, told a joke about Hillary Clinton, which evidently crossed the line with a local Doctor who was attending a show at the comedy club.

Had the joke been about W, they wouldn't have said a word.
What the heck was the joke? (On second thought, don't post it) No go ahead post it. (NO DON'T)
Dang. I really want to know what the joke was... I'd write a song about it, just to be a d**k ;0)
So what was the joke?!??!
But specifically, what did he say that started this ball rolling? Did he threaten Hitlary? There is a missing piece to this "piece".
Apparently he can't repeat it, based on the article - if he does, he gets put on a watch list, his travel will be problematic, and he'd lose the gigs performing in the Mideast for the troops...
So, I guess now we'll never know what the joke is... bummer.
No freepin kidding! Unless he overtly made a threat against the one who must not be named, it would seem to me to be a 1st ammendment issue!
Unleash the Joke!
Sick Jokes
Recently a group from my office got together and went to the Brickwall Comedy Club at the Budget Inn.
When I go to an adults-only comedy club, I expect to hear adult humor (including off-color jokes, which are half the fun) but did not expect to come out completely irate. The night started with the owner, Chris Warren, getting up and telling a few jokes. His jokes consisted of not one multiple jokes about rape. One of them started out by him asking if anyone had heard about the woman who married her rapist. His "punch line"? "At what point during the rape did she think, 'Hey, this isn't so bad?'" When the room was silent, he made a comment that maybe his joke was too dark for the crowd. It was not that his humor was too dark but that violent crimes against women are just not funny. Later he made a comment that Hillary Clinton should be raped and assassinated. When again the room was silent, he said that "OK, maybe we should assassinate her first then rape her." This is supposed to be funny?? I don't care what your political persuasion is, wishing any person to be raped and put to death is just wrong. Maybe Warren should look at his material and figure out that there are certain subject matters that are never funny no matter how you tell the joke.
I know that some people will think I am overreacting, but I take care of women in my practice who have been victims of violence and rape, and I can guarantee they're not laughing about it. Neither am I.

What if he said the joke was about someone named Cillary Hlinton?
Curiosity aroused.
But neither is Hillary's history of aiding and abetting Bubba's rapes.
So, I'm walking through the woods with a woman, as it starts to get dark, and she turns to me and says "It's getting dark, and I'm scared..." and I looked at her and said "Ha. you think YOU'RE scared? I gotta walk back alone!"
Tee hee ;0)
Well, I must admit that I don't find any of those comments particularly funny, however, there have been many, many documented cases of "comedians" saying far worse things about numerous conservatives, with NO repercussions whatsoever.

You sick freak! :-) I've always meant to ask where you do your standup?
Here. ;0)
I agree with the Doctor. The Hillary comment is out of line.
oh, well, yeah - i should have known... <:-0
