"What if somebody did one with this kind of humor on Obama and his daughters?" asked Jim Cash of Chattanooga, Tenn. "What an uproar there would be. This line of humor is tasteless and moronic and about as low as they could go. There simply must be an uproar over this. We cannot let this just pass."

If SNL had DARED to say that about Obama’s daughters, EVEN AS A JOKE, Rockefeller Center would currently be in riot-caused flames....

It’s BEYOND time to call these people out.

Yes, that line was uncalled for but the skit was a very hard slap in the msm face.

Remember this was in a satirical piece in which the reporters were the ones being skewered. I believe that line should be viewed as showing how moronic and stereotyped are the views of the liberal loons.

Saturday Night Live runs outside family viewing hours and, like it or not, that joke was far less offensive than many.

Because that would be racist, and then it would be wrong.

This is what political correctness has wrought: It’s forbidden to insult or degrade anyone identified as being a protected class; but heterosexual, white males are fair game, and heterosexual, white women have now lost their protection as it is now blatantly clear that only LIBERAL white, heterosexual women are in a protected class.

Yup, I’m sure a light-hearted joke about Obama pimping his little girls for campaign contributions will go over just as funnily. /sarc

The one thing as fruitless as watching the moronic, juvenile, unfunny, horrible excuse for a show that SNL has become is wasting the energy to get angry over it.

Yes, more adolescent humor from our intellectuals in Commiewood. Its all very funny haha. The thing that really gets me scratching my head is that left thinks this is actually clever. Look at Obama, its not so much the fact that his Pig comment was in fact directed at Governor Palin and was in fact a bit sexist, no what really made me shake my head was that he chuckled at it like it was a real funny and clever thing to say. If that’s as witty as he gets then he obviously doesn’t have the brain power Harvard wants us to believe.

They’ve always been pretty nasty. I seem to remember a skit where Elizabeth Dole and Hillary are exchanging insults, and Dole says, “Your daughter is so ugly, Woody Allen wouldn’t even touch her!”

I wonder how the Palin girls are feeling today?

Er, that skit absolutely savaged the Dinosaur Media. What’s the problem here? Yes, incest-related humor can be pretty nasty but that is EXACTLY what the soon-to-be-extinct MSM is all about; they are the ones that promulgated the vile rumors about Sarah’s daughters and children and so on.

This was a harsh reality check for the NYT crowd.

A few weeks ago a conservative blogger did a similar satire that can be found here...

http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2008/09/america-speaks.html

I don’t recall any freepers being upset with him.

SNL was making the exact same point as Iowahawk.

I didn't see the skit, but it seems that the NYT was the brunt of this joke. Distasteful, nonetheless..

This piece SEVERELY distorts the thrust of this skit. It was NOT making fun of Palin. It was making fun of the idiots at the NYTimes. It skewered the times reporters as a bunch of effete idiots who have never left Manhattan. And it was extremely funny (though the live audience was pretty quiet).

The premise is the editor was sending the top 50 reporters to Alaska to report on Palin. At one point they showed them a picture of a snowmobile. One of the reporters asks - is that some sort of baptism device?.

Junk like this is why I never read World Net Daily

What if we joked that B.H.O. was a homosexual

We have two other threads on this with hundreds of posts.

For the record, I think SNL nailed it this time. It was excellent.

NBC is garbage, from top to bottom. Don’t watch it.
