Bozell Column: Sarah Silverman's Insult Act Gets Old
NewsBusters.org ^ | January 4, 2014 | Brent Bozell

Posted on 01/04/2014 10:56:10 AM PST by Kaslin

Sarah Silverman celebrated Christmas in her usual mode: mocking Christians, and religion in general. On Twitter, she wrote “Happy Birthday, Jesus! I'm sorry [you] were murdered by people afraid of new ideas!”

Her last HBO special in 2002 was even mockingly titled “Jesus Is Magic.” Her new special was called “We Are Miracles.” Once again in the new show, she made fun of the death of Jesus, as a Jew: “You’re welcome. If we hadn’t killed him, he wouldn’t even be famous.”

Sarah Silverman has been treated for mental problems. I wish she would get further help, as clearly she needs it.
Needs an exorcist.

That is very sad. I wish she would too.

Needs an exorcist:
Maybe she needs that too. I'm sure she is getting all the help she wants and needs.

Religion is a most difficult topic for comedy. It’s often easy to see humor in aspects of religious faith or practice/ ritual, but relating one’ s possibly-amusing insights in a manner that avoids causing some offense in some people is very hard to do. We tend to be quite sensitive about our faith and not too keen to have it treated in a comedic way. I have no idea who this lady is and from the report I’d just suggest she may be better off doing something else in her routines. I try not to get upset with humor or even attempted humor but, occasionally I do Everyone probably does. There are so many other things a comedian can talk about these days, I wouldn’t try to do too many religious jokes if I were on stage. Even really take yes professional comedians have caused some offense in some viewers when they’ve done religious topics ( Tom leher , Myron Cohen , you name it).

She’s disturbed and infantile.

I hope she does not. Doing so would be a grave sin as it is tantamount to committing idolatry.

Ooo, the Germans DO make good cars. In fact, really all they do is make cars.

Well, your mother will pass. Mine did last June. She was 94 years old. I can't blame her prejudices as we all have them. She did eat copious amounts of Japanese food. So, her prejudices didn't run THAT deep.

Also one could always use the bathroom at a Japanese restaurant because they were clean, clean, clean...the COMPLETE opposite at Chinese restaurants.

At Chinese restaurants one NEVER sits by the wall as one will see the cockroaches crawling up the wall. The Chinese will NOT spend money on cleanliness. I used to sit in the CENTER of the room, as far away from those filthy little critters. Now I eschew them altogether.

Since the Japanese originally came from China, my theory of their cleanliness, the ANTITHESIS of clean, is this: I surmised that one day a Chinese general or other big shot arrived in Japan, saw it, conquered it and decided to have a CLEAN conquest. So he initiated the famous Japanese BATH.
The entire family bathes together..but showers and scrubs before getting into the communal tub. HOW DIFFERENT is that from the Chinese point of view?

Despite the fact that she’s an idiot “Sarah Silverman” is a pretty nice sounding name, and I don’t think I’d change it, if it were mine. And even though they were victimized and abused I imagine there are many German Jews who are proud of their heritage, or at the very least proud of their family’s name.

I love my own name, and could never consider changing it, but I agree that might not always be the case. I esp. like when someone in law enforcement has the name “lawless” or “savage” for example. But there’s got to be a good story behind some of these names.

Sarah Silverman can be an attractive woman, when she's not trying to destroy her physical presentation.

Frankly, I can't think of a woman who has more successfully destroyed my interest in knowing anything more about her at all, in under one minute.

She is vile, sacrilegious, and one of the most prominent bigots I've had the displeasure to observe.

It’s not necessary a German name. It could just as well be English The German word for Silver is Silber and man is spelled with 2 m which would be Silbermann

She might be attractive on the outside, but what inside that counts and it isn’t pretty

Thanks Kaslin...“You’re welcome. If we hadn’t killed him, he wouldn’t even be famous.”....amazing what she said....."Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

My dad fought the Germans in WWII, but he drove Volskswagens his whole life. I learned to drive on a Volkswagen.

It IS a pretty sounding name, Sarah being an old, old Jewish name STRAIGHT out of the old Testament.

As for German Jews being proud of their heritage? I doubt if too many are proud of that German heritage. The Germans did produce a zillion geniuses and things to be proud of but...I dunno.

*When I visited Austria some years ago we had an Austrian guide who said with a laugh: "We keep trying to convince the world that Hitler was German and Beethoven was Austrian." I didn't think that was humorous.

**I was in Hamburg a while back on a tour bus. The guide was pointing out the LEGAL brothels to us. She made a point of saying how ENLIGHTENED Europeans were having legal brothels.
I COULDN'T help myself!!!! My loud, clear, crisp teacher voice popped up: "Yes, isn't that wonderful?? Having your daughters, mothers and sisters lying on a bed, flat on their backs, with their legs up in the air with a TOTAL stranger? Isn't that SWEET?"
There was instant, IMMEDIATE silence. Not a word, even from the guide. I was SO right that NO one cold utter a sound for 15 minutes.

***I never heard the name "lawless" before but "savage"--Michael Savage. I always liked what he said but his SCREAMING got REAL old, REAL FAST.

****I also got tired of STUPIDS saying that prostitution was the oldest "profession" in the world. POPPYCOCK. Prostitution didn't happen until humanity had PLENTY of spare time to waste. The OLDEST professions were:
hunter
fisherman
warrior
cook
healer
------------------------------------
It was all about survival first, not screwing total strangers for a price.
