Sometimes there is a line that is crossed between what appropriate for comedy and what’s likely off limits. But did comic Christopher Titus cross that line?

In an appearance on Monday’s “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast, Titus may have waded into that territory. In responding to a question about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” in which Palin defended her interpretation of what happened during Paul Revere’s pre-Revolutionary War famous ride, Titus launched into a description of what he would do if Palin were elected.

“You know what man?” Titus said. “I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”

Sucks to find out a guy I thought was funny is just a moron.

[Lx]

Maybe he’s still bitter about his show only lasting, what, 10 episodes? It was actually funny if you’re a car guy but if you aren’t it was probably boring.

Where’s the Secret Service???????

[PapaNew]

Rip the masks off the bleeding-heart liberals and what do you find? Ravenous wolves.

Best one to ever shine the light on the libs? Reagan.

Comic Chris Titus

Never heard of 'em.

[agere_contra]

Civility!

[Genoa]

Beware, Christopher, she can shoot back.

[Rational Thought]

If that happened, they would be getting a visit from the secret service and facing possible criminal charges.

[Red Badger]

Never heard of the moron.
If he’s down to ‘appearing’ on a ‘podcast’ he’ must be pretty sorry..............

[VA_Gentleman]

Titus has never been funny. I tried to watch one of his specials years ago, and it was painful to watch. The only thing he talked about was how horrible his family is. How surprising.

[autumnraine]

Damn, I liked his old show.

[Jack Hydrazine]

He’s putting the idea of assassinating Sarah into other Democrat’s heads.

Titus was born in Castro Valley, California to Ken Titus and Juanita C. Holmes. Christopher's parents divorced when he was a young child, and he was raised largely by his father, Ken, a judgmental, chain-smoking, hard drinker who was married six times and divorced five times. His mother, Juanita, suffered from schizophrenia and spent time in and out of mental hospitals. At four he was taken away from his father and given to his grandparents on his mother's side. His father went to kidnap him back and told the local district attorney of his plans without knowing. Rather than arrest him, the attorney gave him legal tactics he could use to get his son back which he used and eventually regained custody of Christopher.

When he was 12 he ran away from his father to live with his mother, during which he lived in her garage but he shortly moved back with his father. According to Titus in Norman Rockwell is Bleeding, Juanita was acquitted in 1986 after murdering her second husband who beat her up during Thanksgiving dinner, and committed suicide in 1994 after marrying another abusive man and being sent to therapy for hurling a Duraflame log through the window of a Missouri sheriff's office. This resulted in Titus having a nervous breakdown on his flight a week after her funeral. His father, Ken Titus, died in 2001 of cardiac arrest. Christopher dedicated his entire "Norman Rockwell is Bleeding" special and an episode of his show Titus ("The Pendulum," where Christopher is in a coma following a racecar crash and Ken [played by Stacy Keach] narrates the episode in Christopher's Neutral Space) to his late father.

Titus had problems with alcohol and drugs during adolescence until one day, while intoxicated, he fell into a bonfire at a beach party. In the morning, his friends took him to the hospital, where the doctor told him he would have died if he had inhaled the deadly hot smoke inside of the bonfire. He calls this moment his "epiphany" and began to turn his life around and get into comedy. He has a younger stepbrother named Dave Scouville

Titus married his wife Erin Carden on April 17, 1991. Their daughter, Kennie Marie Titus (named after his late father Ken) was born August 25, 2001. Three years later their son Jett Evan Titus was born on May 8, 2004. Titus filed for divorce on June 6, 2006, because of her affairs with two other men.

Titus shares custody of his two children with his ex-wife though has stated that the divorce has been "messy." Titus currently lives with his girlfriend of the last 5 years, Rachel Bradley, in California.

See what a myth it is that lefties don’t like guns! In truth they don’t want you to have guns but its OK for them...b/c they’re superior to you in every way. See what a myth it is that lefties aren’t violent? Its OK for them to advance their agenda violence b/c they’re superior to you in every way. See what a myth it is that lefties are open minded? Its their way or the highway.

Titus does not realize how many fans Sarah has. He may have made a big mistake.

Wonder how he would like it if, every time he showed his face on the street, some (large) Palin supporter walked by him and said "We're watching you", and then kept walking?

[Mr. Jazzy]

Mr. Titus came from an extremely unstable family.

As Miss Ann Coulter comments in her book (out today as a matter of fact!) despite the screams from the left of conservative violence, it has always been leftists who have either attempted or assassinated American political foes.

Mr. Titus is a violent crime waiting to happen.

[RexBeach]

Is it unlawful to say something like this?...threatening to kill someone, even if in jest?

Disgraceful and stupid.
