Yes, youve read correctly. To all of you GOP types playing the offended card on a daily basis Prepare to have your feelings hurt, because according to my carefully calculated research Republicans need to shut up and laugh a little.
Never has the GOPs lack of funnybone been on sharper display than the last 5 months. For a party that claims to shun political correctness, weve certainly done a good job of embracing it. Over the past 150 days there have been three media-worthy politically incorrect moments related to this administration and Republicans have managed to jump on each one of them for political gain. All to no avail. Let us examine:
Exhibit A
Barack Obamas Special Olympics comment on Leno. On air, President B. Hussein Obama made a self-deprecating joke in regards to his bowling abilities. He made the implication that he was so bad at bowling that his skill level resembled that of a mentally challenged athlete. Twas a surprisingly funny, off-handed moment for a generally very unfunny president.
Republicans, however, decided to act as though they were appalled by this and ran with the you cant make fun of retards theme. (Im paraphrasing here of course, but you get the picture.) I believe that somewhere in the middle, Sarah Palin and her son Trigg were tied into the whole fiasco. The media took little notice and sharp comedians like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert managed to successfully lampoon Conservatives for being humorless old bags. Thats one for you, Democrats ...

It’s not a matter of actually feeling offended by anything, it is just that we like to use the tactics of the liberals against them. We can play the “we are offended” game as well as they can, and some of the useful idiots in the media even believe it and give us good coverage sometimes. Look at the Palin / Letterman thing - that was a very big win for our side, and the liberals are still reeling from the defeat.
This is after 8 years of whining and outrage by the Dims.
“typical of the left”
Exactly.
Mel Brooks pegged lieberals: “Comedy is when you (Palin)fall through a manhole; tragedy is when I (Obama) stub my toe.”
Ridicule of conservatives is hilarious, thigh-slapping humor and to be encouraged; ridicule by conservatives, on the other hand, is hate speech and to be condemned.
And Obama’s daughters? Got knocked up at a baseball game while Obama was giving an interview.
Are all the liberals laughing? Truth is that "jokes" in Hitler's Germany that could be told about Jewish women and children could NOT be told about German women and children. And it's the same here. Jokes that can be told about conservative women and children can't be told about liberal women and children.
Liberals want to be thuggy without us being allowed to notice.
The author is immature and petulant.
I agree. Let's get it started....
"Sasha Obama was walking down to score some drugs when she saw her sister Malia working the corner of 5th and Main. Malia had been turning tricks for a long time on that corner, and ..."I won't go further because I wouldn't actually make a "joke" like this. But I did want to make the point.

Senator Ensign R-NV admits affair with married staffer. This is the guy who said after Lewinsky that Bill Clinton has no credibility left. I have been laughing about that all morning!
It's the hypocrisy that I have a hard time laughing at...
Republicans?
Democrats refuse to allow any ridicule of thier politicians.
Where are the jokes on SNL about Obama dragging his telprompter and plastic greek temple around?
Where are the jokes about Michelle Obama manly ugliness being spun as “hot”?
Where are the jokes about obama pushing socialism but saying it is not socialism?
Where are the actual barbs on the late attacking and ridiculing democrats?
I agree wholeheartedly.
He went public because he was being blackmailed (his term) by the husband of the woman. So the cuckolded husband himself has committed a crime. I hope he's prosecuted for his efforts.
We are all sinners, some try to make excuses for the sins.
During the primaries, he bowled a 37 in Altoona.
It was the strangest score in Pennsylvania history since Nick "Bowling for Dollars" Perry scored a 666 with the Lotto ping-pong balls.
There is no truth in the Pravda media. It serves the Party.
And that goes for smearing the opposition as well. Nothing but propaganda.
President Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The
teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the
discussion on the word ‘tragedy’?
So our illustrious president asked the class for an example
of a ‘tragedy’.
One little boy stood up and offered:
‘If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in
the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy?’
‘No,’ said Obama, ‘that would be an accident.’
A little girl raised her hand: ‘If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.’
‘I’m afraid not,’ explained Obama.
‘That’s what we would call great loss.’
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama
searched the room.’Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?’
Try this for Comedy, LIBTARDS!
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his
hand. In a quiet voice he said: ‘If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a ‘friendly fire’ missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.’
‘Fantastic!’ exclaimed Obama. ‘That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?’
‘Well,’ says the boy, ‘It has to be a tragedy,because it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss... and it probably wouldn’t be an accident either.
Actually, I love humor thats a bit edgy.
I’m just waiting to see what Letterman’s “edgy” humor will look like when he decides to go after the Obama family.
Which, I think, is the point. What most people are ticked about isn’t so much the fact that we’re the butt of someone’s jokes, but that there is a double standard. The same kind of humor directed at the Obama kids would be clearly out of line, and even a jerk like Letterman would be afraid to do it. But if you’re a conservative, you are fair game. Thats what gets under people’s skins.
As for me, I tuned Letterman out a decade ago. If he ever decides to get edgy with Mrs Obama or her kids, I’ll have to read about it here, because I simply haven’t watched him in years.
The Dems. did walk all over the Republicans. Pretty sad.
