Sarah Silverman: 'The Entire Fox News Channel is a 24-Hour a Day Racism Engine'
Newsbusters ^ | June 1, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/01/2010 10:41:30 AM PDT by Rufus2007

Don't you hate when people assume the worst of the motivations of others? Especially people who shouldn't be making any social commentary, like Sarah Silverman, comedian and author of "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee."

In her book, Silverman attacks the Tea Party movement and "right-wing Americans," suggesting their efforts aren't for the sake of fiscal responsibility and the fear the country is headed toward an entitlement state, but instead - veiled racism. Silverman, who had her own run-in with Guy Aoki, president of the Media Action Network for Asian Americans, for using the word "chink" in a joke, said his cause, to combat racism against Asians, is more difficult today because of this so-called camouflage.

“Who is Sarah Silverman?”

I think it was a movie that had a crazed raccon in it.

What is nuts, is why anyone would even think this was a news story.

I doubt Sarah Silverman has ever watched even an hour of Fox News, so how would she know.

She's just another lying, hypocritical liberal.

You could fit all the people who give a damn about what Sarah Silverman says into a pinkie thimble. And have lots of room left over for a grand piano.

Her humor has also touched on other religions. In 2009 she suggested the Pope sell the Vatican and use some of the money for luxurious housing and the remainder to stop world hunger saying he would “get crazy p*ssy.” Was she making him an offer? You'd think being a comedian and all that she'd be funny.

All I know about Sarah Silverman is that she is foul-mouthed and not very funny.

Silverman's stupid comments about Fox News are beneath contempt and clearly ridiculous. She's using the fact that because President Brack Hussein Obama is governing from a hard-left position and the Fox News channel actually questions his policies and has commentators that oppose him, it's all 'racist'.

This is a childish, ridiculously simplistic conclusion bereft of a scintilla of evidence. It's probably not something this irrelevant 'comedian' really believes but a 'bold' statement that will give her positive attention from her show-biz peers and garner her a tiny bit of media attention.

Frankly, this thread on FR is likely the most publicity Sarah Silverman will receive for her idiotic remark and I almost regret adding to it - but here we are.

So Sarah, how’d that “big schlep” turn out for you?

She’s some comic who has decided that her political opinion is worth sharing with the world.

You could say the same thing about the MSM regarding Adult White Males in this country. . .

I think there is a virus that all liberals eventually get, manifested by calling conservatism racist. In some severe case it is accompanied by panting and drooling....

“Biased Dolt” is correct!

Back in 2008, she ran this thing called “The Great Schlep”. It was all about Jewish grandchildren encouraging/nagging/begging their grandparents (Florida residents) to vote for Barack Obama.

Don’t forget her 2008 escapade “The Great Schlep”.

I saw her making the rounds on the late night shows. It was pretty sick.

There are not many people as creepy as SS. She gives Jews, women and comics a bad name.
