That’s funny? Comic’s 9/11 jokes touch raw nerve

Boy, she sounds like a real knee-slapper.

"Tee-hee!"

I’m sure the families of 177 Massachusetts families who lost loved ones that day are not laughing.

Don't be so sure about all 177 families...as we've seen, many families can dishonor the deaths of their own spouse or child in the name of their own personal politics and ambitions.

"This is not the first time that Europe has been passive while a Jew-hating tyrant with a weird looking mustache killed the people by giving them gas. Obviously I'm talking about Chef Boyardee."

Doesn't excuse her other remark though.

[SteveMcKing]

If she's going to cross the line, at least be funny. (She ain't...)

If she's going to cross the line, at least be funny. (She ain't...)

If she was funny, she wouldn't be doing it.

[goresalooza]

She's the girlfriend of Jimmy Kimmel...I wouldn't expect her to have any sense.

This is about as low as libnuts have gone...lately.

Hi All-

Sarah Silverman sounds like a 34-year-old moron. That dingbat should seek comedy material elsewhere.

Can someone please explain to me why Hollywood Jews are so pro-Palestine and pro terrorism? Do they know no history before WWII? Do they agree that they should be exterminated as per Iran's stated agenda? Do they really believe that Israel has no right to exist in any form? Can they honestly believe that Israel is somehow menacing the rest of the Middle East?

[ncountylee]

It's some strange type of guilt.

[Texas Songwriter]

Who produced the movie? Who wrote the movie script? Who else is in the movie? Who distributes the movie?

These people do not understand decency and propriety, but I suspect you can get their attention by hitting them in the pocketbook.

[DakotaRed]

Must be a protege' of Al (not funny at all) Franken.

Maybe she too will end up begging for salary on Air America with no audience.

"Can someone please explain to me why Hollywood Jews are so pro-Palestine and pro terrorism?"

My guess is that they all hate what America stands for, and you know the rest about "birds of a feather".

By the way, the following "ad by Google" appeared on the Herald's page when I just went to it. These ads "spider" certain words and deliver an ad based on them. The word
was "Twin", so the following ad came up (referring to
the Bush twins...)

"Support our troops--Draft the Twins - ribbon ribbons bumper stickers shirts etc.

>>why Hollywood Jews are so pro-Palestine and pro terrorism

Not all of them; I believe Ron Silver is Jewish and if you
saw the Dick Morris movie "FahrenHYPE 9/11" you know he's
on the RIGHT side of history.

From Internet Movie Database (which lists his real name as
Ronald Zimelman): "A lifelong Democrat of the Truman mold (his description), he broke with the Democratic Party over the War on Terrorism and spoke at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. Has re-registered as an Independent."

She is sorta cute in a loud Catskills Comic sorta way.

He politics are standard Northeastern Jewish Liberal with a dose of libertarianism and irreverence.

she used to live with Jimmy Kimmel...maybe still does

she's a damn sight better than Bill Mayer or Jon Stewart etc...very un-pc about race and religion etc

nearly all comics today are tasteless given the chance...it's a symptom of what we are expected to tolerate

[raccoonradio]

btw Silver also narrated the movie...
