Denis Leary's Sick Idea of Humor (Bashes Christian Belief)

Have you - or ANYONE - ever seen or heard a comedian that bashes liberal values - EVER?

Yeah, I have...and his name is Denis Leary. He bashes smoking bans, enviornmentalists, vegetarians, therapy, Hollywood celebrities who whine about their problems and blame everybody but themselves, musicians who tell people to support liberal causes, etc.

Why should we accept such behavior?

[Mr. Mojo]

how can anyone watch this guy on comedy central? you miss half his routine for all the BLEEPs.

Yep, like watching Eddie Murphy's Raw -- I'd hear beeps in my sleep after a half hour of that sheet.

"I guess only pornographers and filthy-mouthed comedians get to decide what kind of culture we have."

Well, that would be true if that was the only thing being broadcast on TV. It is not. At the same time this program ran, there were hundreds of other programs running that did not have that point of view.

Was Mary a virgin? Not in my opinion. Was Jesus divine? Not in my opinion. I have no problem with people believing either thing, though. I'm not insisting that my point of view be presented on TV, nor asking that religious programming be banned.

Personally, I think the program is in bad taste, and wouldn't watch it. But, that's my choice, isn't it? I also don't watch the many religious channels on my television set. I'm not asking that they be removed, though.

I USE my channel selector.

Why does anyone think this guy is funny? I have never heard a funny word come out of his mouth.

[TradicalRC]

Our nation has become much too sophistcated and enlightened to accept the humor of a Laurel & Hardy, Bud Abbott & Lou Costello or a Bill Cosby.

I noticed that the Stooges are still a perennial favorite.

[Mr. Mojo]

Indeed he does.

[MineralMan]

"Why should we accept such behavior?"

---

Hmm...accept? Did you watch this program? No? Then you did not accept it.

I did not watch it either. WE don't accept television programming unless we choose to watch it.

[Willie Green]

Yeah, I have...and his name is Denis Leary. He bashes smoking bans, enviornmentalists, vegetarians, therapy, Hollywood celebrities who whine about their problems and blame everybody but themselves, musicians who tell people to support liberal causes, etc.

Well then Leary must be a typical narcissistic libertarian who bashes everything.

I watched the first couple minutes of the show last night,
then I flipped to another channel because the a-hole wasn't funny.

[trisham]

Leary is actually a very good guy. I don't know why he's chosen to bash Catholicism, but I will hope that he finds his way back to the Church. What a shame.

[TradicalRC]

Ironically, turn it around on the Leftist with humor against them, they go ballistic as evidenced by the FReeper posts regarding a recent book.

I must've missed it. Which book was that?

I have nothing against Leary or Comedy Central. Leary works hard and tries new material. This is just not funny to me. And Comedy Central is just trying to make ratings so they can sell advertising. I am not so sure this is not just bad humor. I do not see a political attack on our culture as much as I see bad judgement. I do not like it. It offends me. There is nothing illegal or wrong with offending me as this is a free country.

I will, in this free country, write a letter and refuse to patronize the station. It is my choice and I will not lose sleep over it or firebomb the network, or threaten peoples lives. See I am a compassionate, logical, mainstream, hardworking, conservative. If I were a liberal wacko that had been offended, I might throw myself in front of a trian or set myself on fire in front of CNN headquarters.

I will just do my small part to advance a righteous culture rooted in morals and values for our country and hope that it is contagious.

"Moslems just doesn't believe he is God or the son of God."

They also believe that Judas was crucified in His place, I believe.

[kellynla]

BTTT

[Sertorius]

I don't know If I would characterize Rush as a comedian, but he does one hell of a job at using humor to bash liberals...

[Tenacious 1]

{"Moslems just doesn't believe he is God or the son of God."

They also believe that Judas was crucified in His place, I believe.}

I believe that they do not know what they believe. Does their religion tell them to murder innocent people or doesn't it. You would think a religion could agree on the basics. Maybe a world renound cleric will rise up and explain it to us neophites.

This was 1, there was another: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1528979/posts

Lutherans have vacillated a good bit on the "ever-virgin" issue, and there is actually a lot of back-and-forth on the issue. A pretty good summary is here:

Someone should remind Dennis that Muslims believe in the Virgin Birth as an article of their faith. That will shut him up but good.
