Imagine how little humor we'll show when we deal with this issue the same way we dealt with Letterman:

Fired IG Calls White House Explanation 'Baseless,' Says He's Being Targeted

Check it out and see if you might help.

The war on the double-standard culture continues.

No, you lying leftist scumbags made humor a crime. Now you
get to
have it pointed out to you. Now run along and check your

work boots to see if your missing paycheck is in there.

You are a living hate crime in progress.

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.

When is Michelle Obama going to give up that slutty airline stewardess look?

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.

> Republicans Need to Grow a Sense of Humor

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.

IMO, it's not that we are not seeing humor in something, I think it's more that we are sick and tired of the double standard. If a conservative went on Leno and made any reference to a mentally challenged kid, that person would have been ridiculed all over the place. The left would not have laughed. If a comedian said that they hoped that Pelosi or Reid would have kidney failure, the left would not have laughed. If someone said anything about Obama's daughters being raped, once again, no laughter from the left.

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?

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.

humor, they want hunor?

OK

How about 2 homosexuals give Letterman`s son some Viagra and rape him during the 7nth anus stretch!

The guy’s right. We need to yuk it up, just like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. They’re a laugh a minute, right? And their popularity numbers are sooooo good!

I’m the first to admit I am completely humourless these past few months. I’m still waiting to see what is so funny about the disinigration of our Nation...

I have a sense of humor that’s pretty good and broad to the point that it occasionally gets my posts pulled. The problem is not that I don’t have a sense of humor. The problem is that those jokes weren’t funny. They were cruel, and gratuitously so. And in both the president’s and especially Dave Letterman’s case, lazy. And it’s the type of stuff that when our guys get caught saying it gets them fired, beaten at the polls, or at the very minimum does permanent damage to their reputations. And I’m not going to lie and say otherwise in the (as far as I’m concerned, vain) hope that I or conservatives will from now on be portrayed as hail-fellows-well-met. There’s a time to laugh, and a time to give the joker a good beating. So to speak. In my opinion, this is the latter.

What this idiot does not understand is that we really are not offended by any of this. We simply enjoy exposing their hypocrisy and watching them squirm. Its great fun.

They simply don’t understand our sense of humor because their sense of self-worth is so low they are offended by their own reflection.

“Republicans Need to Grow a Sense of Humor”

Hell they need to grow something more than a sense of humor...how about a spine and a pair of _ _ _ _ s.
