The Washington Post isnt the only daily D.C. newspaper to rave about Sandra Bernhards anti-Palin ranting. Wednesdays Washington Examiner joined in, with the headline "Comedienne delivers enraged optimism." Barbara Mackay claimed "in the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhards message is positive."
Thats not the impression youd get from the blog of Theater J, where Bernhard is appearing. It has video of Bernhard calling Palin "Uncle Women," a "turncoat bh" and a "whore." One complaint on the blog that Bernhard crosses a line of political incorrectness draws a defense from Ari Roth of Theater J that really drops the curtain on how coarse this show is:
In fact, the play wears its politically VERY correct heart on its sleeve with its indictment of America as "A Mans World, Its a White Mans World, Its a Fked Up White Mans Racist World" and can only be suggested to be racist in its content if one is hell-bent on protecting White Folk for Sandras blistering indictment. When Sandra warns Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandras big black brothers, shes being provocative, combative, humorous, and yes, lets allow, disgusting.
The fact that the show has a few riffs like this does not to my mind make it a "disgusting show." theres too much beauty, variety, vitality, and intelligence to label the entire show as "disgusting." Ill agree with you that we produced this show because we did find it to be edgy because we wanted to give right wing conservative Jews a good run for their money by being on the receiving end of some blistering indictments from Sandra.Does it go over the edge sometimes? On the gang-rape joke, yes. Sure. Not much else. It goes over the edge and then comes right back to the cutting edge. [Profanity editing is mine -newsbusters]
Forgive me if gang-rape jokes don't greet my ears as oddly and subtly positive, as the Examiner suggests, and forgive me if gang-rape jokes aren't "a rotating sprinkler that a spectator washes in most happily," like the Washington Post insists.
Roth insisted to the complainer that the D.C. Jewish Community Center is loving their Bernhard show, and partied with Bernhard on opening night. Theyre in tune with her right-bashing rage:
Were proud of our producing -- proud of Sandras sense of timing -- taking the fight out to the house and to the street beyond, channeling so much of our rage and frustration at the bizarre recent twists of fortune since Karl Rove trotted out Sarah Palin for John McCain to briefly meet and then get in bed with.Sandras face is hanging 10 feet tall in a banner over the DCJCC steps and were proud that shes a new emblem and ambassador for our theater and our center. Shes not the only one who represents us. But her large heart, her generous talent, and her big mouth are all a big part of who we are.
"Who we are" at this theater clearly isn't someone who's interesting in presenting anything other than rage. The video itself, presented like a commercial for the show, explains who the show is intended to please. The average person probably wouldnt find it the least bit funny. But if you really, really hate Sarah Palin or Christian conservatives, this show is for you. Heres some of what she says in the promo:
Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s--t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b---h! Dont you f--kin reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t! Dont you touch my Old Testament, you b---h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally! You whore in your f--kin' cheap New Vision cheap-ass plastic glasses and your [sneering voice] hair up. A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls--t moment.
Is it too broad an interpretation to suggest that when Bernhard attacks Palin's "new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t," she means the New Testament? It sounds like she's telling the Christian to stay away from "her" Old Testament, as if Christians don't have an Old Testament in their Bible. It's quite clear that the D.C. Jewish Community Center is not attempting an interfaith dialogue with this rantfest.
Here is the video. Decide for yourself:

"when I was getting ready to leave [Bill] Ayers told me I couldnt go until I slept with his roommate and his brother. At this point Bill and I had slept together just once. I was sexually inexperienced, having had only one serious boyfriend with whom I had recently broken up. At first I thought Ayers was joking. I got up; and went to the door. He moved quickly to block me at the doorway. He locked the door and put the chain on it. I went to the couch and sat down and told him that I had no intention of having sex with his roommate and his brother or him. He said that I had no choice but to do as he said if I wanted to get out of there. He claimed that I wouldnt sleep with his married roommate because he was black -- that I was a bigot. I got up from the couch and walked over to the black roommates bed and put myself on it and he ****** me. I went totally out of my body. I floated beside myself on the outside and above the bed looking at this black stranger **** me angrily while I hated myself."

oh dear Lord.
Let’s flip the script here. What Bernhard is saying that black men are brutes and would gang rape a woman solely based on the fact that they did not agree with her politics or because she was white. What little faith she has in the African-American community. Isn’t she afraid that she may be attacked by brutal black men who support Obama?
There’s no chance ANYONE would ever rape Sandra Bernhard. She’s several thousand whacks past ugly!
Sandra Bernhard is Helen Thomas without the grace and charm.
“Sandra Bernhard: Palin Would Be Gang-Raped By [big] Blacks in Manhattan”
This sounds like a pretty racist generalization. If a conservative said it, the outrage would be heard around the world.
This is a grave and serious threat against someone who is under the protection of the Secret Service. I am forwarding this to their attention. We’ll see how funny this low-life it is.
this is outrageous....
Battleground states?.....I know McCain wouldn't stoop this low but somebody has got to get the white neaderthals to see this...this utter evil hatred and racism....
Bernhard would be protected by her gross ugliness.
Call me wrong, but I take pleasure in knowing that when and if worse comes to worse, it’s scum like Bernhard that are usually the first that are put down in the trench. Of course then we come next. But hey, at least we will get to see the loudmouths like her go first.
“When Sandra warns Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandras big black brothers, ....”
Sandy’s just upset that she wasn’t.
Sandra Bernhard is so ugly, Helen Thomas is dressing up as her for Halloween (from the other FR thread)
it was all about the sex, in the end ( or wherever)...lets start a “revolution” so we can claim forcing sex on females is just part of their “contribution”.
Once again, I have no clue who this person is. But, the stench is easily identifiable and unmistakable.
Swine feces.
I’m guessing Sandra Bernhard would probably enjoy getting raped by a gang of black men. After all, she most certainly has never had sex with a man before.
Isaiah 5
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
I’d bet money, marbles and chalk Sarah Palin would survive in Manhattan a hell of a lot better than the homeboys would survive in Alaska.
Sandra Bernhard is the cultural equivalent of a herpes outbreak on the genitals of American society.
Aside from its manifest record of failure and crime in the real world, “progressive” leftism just attracts such a trainload of deranged scum like Bernhard to its ranks that I can’t imagine any sane person voting for it.
