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.
Agreed. And maybe this is the root of the anger many conservatives feel, the double standard.
I heard a conservative (can't remember who) say about the liberal bias in the media, "Complaining about the liberal slant in the news is like complaining about the weather."
I don't know if that is the right response to the double standard in popular culture (news/comedy/etc) but maybe that's part of what Crowder is getting at.
