Byline - “Yael T. Abouhalkah” - writing to tell us whether or not jokes about 9-11 are funny...

(Yes, I read the article, and yes I have read several of his articles - he’s a Rush hater from way back - but I still think it’s interesting - you know - with his name and all. This is the same guy who ‘remember’ which Phil(l) Kline is who in KC by noting to himself that the one with 2 ‘l’s is the liar. So name jokes should be acceptable in his world.)

Meanwhile...The Whitey House tries to distant itself from "Wicked Wanda"...

Gibbs on Sykes: 9/11 is not 'comedy'

In his daily briefing Monday, Robert Gibbs distanced the president from comedian Wanda Sykes’ joke comparing Rush Limbaugh to a 9/11 hijacker at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. "I don't know how the guests get booked,” Gibbs said, adding that he hadn’t “talked specifically” with Obama about Sykes’ crack. “I think there are a lot of topics that are better left for serious reflection rather than comedy. I think there's no doubt 9/11 is part of that,” Gibbs continued.

9/11 is not 'comedy'

The Democrats and humor? You are kidding?

Their humor is political correctness to the extreme!

Their humor is hate speech!

Rush has a difficult job in trying to educate these idiots.

In fact, she also poked plenty of fun at President Barack Obama and others in his administration, a required part of the program.

And yet, nowhere in her reported remarks do I see she jokingly equated him with a terrorist, or suggested it would be really funny if President Obama should die a horrible wasting death from failure of his internal organs (as my mother did, for that matter.)

Over the top? Perhaps if she had joked that the President was a terrorist who should be lynched? Now, that would be over the top.

DISCLAIMER: For lurking Democrats, Liberals, Race-baiters and other such ready to be offended idiots...did that just offend you? Good. Please note I do not wish any harm to the President (unlike the wish this speaker made towards Rush.) I do not wish or promote any pain or suffering towrds the President, my political opposite (unlike the speaker just did to Rush.) While I find his point of view dispicable and his recent political actions reprehensible, I think that something shouldn't be joked about...causing human suffering should be one of them. And yet...there I just did. And I hope that all of you People Who Are Always Ready To Be Offended understand now how offended we are that someone attacked Rush, and by extension, all of us, in this insensitive matter. The sad thing is, you won't. Because you lack the basic human empathy to project the feelings of others into yourself; thus you can be offended all day long when someone makes cruel fun of what you hold dear, but not have enough human sympathy to imagine that you might be offending and hurting others with obvious hate speech when one of your own suggests that kidney failure is funny...in a Republican. I wish you had half the human kindness you imagine you have, and I wish you could understand the horrible double standard you live with every day.

The funniest thing she’s ever done was a PSA urging teens not to use the term “GAY” when criticizing something as dumb or uncool! That gave me a good laugh!!

RUSH SAID HE HOPES OBAMA’S POLICIES FAIL. HE NEVER SAID HE HOPES AMERICA FAILS. Rush is one of the most patriotic Americans you’ll find anywhere. He loves this country and he is right to hope that Obama’s policies fail, because Obama’s policies are extremely un-American.
This woman who said these things about Rush is not funny. Anybody who jokes about things in anyway about 911, or that someone who they don’t agree with should get kidney failure, is despicable, not funny. And all of her ilk in the room who laughed (including Obama)are also despicable.
I do not agree with the direction Obama is taking the country, but neither I nor Rush would ever wish anything like that on him, not even in the form of a joke. I’ll tell you what is funny, I hope Obama gets the runny sh*ts while he is in the middle of his speech in Egypt. He needs to be knocked down a bit off his arrogant pedestal.

Admittedly, I don’t watch much television, or go to the movies these days...haven’t in quite a while, so Ms. Sykes’ name doesn’t ring a bell in my memory.

However, this story about her is granting her enough publicity to bring her to my attention, and to remind me that her kind of “entertainment” is precisely why I don’t watch much television or go to the movies these days.

Get back to me when a white Republican is able to get away with saying things like that about a black Democrat and the people at the Kansas City Star say “The white Republican was funny. Get over it.”

Well... even Bob Beckle didn’t think she was funny and he was angry at all the people who laughed.

I know nobody here believes in boycotts, but if you're so inclined, she does a lot of "kids" animated shows because of her recognizably-annoying voice:

Wanda Sykes Was Funny (get over it>

No, she wasn't. And I'm talking about all her jokes, up to and including the Limbaugh crack.

My brother recently started Dialysis, 3 hrs, 3 times a week. Believe me it is not something to wish on anyone. She is a fool.
