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.”

It’s no longer “edgy” to bash Christians/Christianity in this country. If Ms. Silverman really wanted to push the envelope, she would make fun of Mohammed and Islam.

Question is, would she have the guts? There is no danger in bashing Christianity...we know the danger of saying something negative about the Left’s favorite religion.

You are correct.

Also, she would NOT have the guts to bash Islam. She is basically a coward, bending over to whomever has the most money.

Poor Sarah, is AIN'T gonna be pretty when it's her turn to be old, weak, haggy, saggy, baggy, unnecessary, and unwanted. She will look JUST like aging Christiane Amanpour, without the quasi-Brit accent.

I feel that way about Mark Levin, I really like him, but he plunges me into an anxiety attack.

And she’ll support either Clinton or Biden in 2016, two geezers who are nearly octogenarians and have been selling the same tired, feckless ideas for 50 years. Unfortunately, she lacks the basic intelligence to spot the incongruity, once considered a basic necessity for survival.

LOL, you could try him I suppose. He’s very legalistic, since he’s a lawyer, he’s reminiscent of Bob Grant, in a way. Hubby likes him a good deal, I think hubby thinks Levin is just a more serious thinker than Rush or Sean Hannity. But, if you feel that anxiety building, turn the dial!

I don't listen to Rush anymore. I watch T.V. and, while I'm in the car I listen to the IM radio station and/or classical music. If both have ads I click to a Mexican station. Helps me to remember my Spanish.
I've never heard Hannity make a joke. He DOES smile sometimes but doesn't laugh.

Either as Savior or as Judge....her choice.

I’m praying that this woman will find Christ.

She already did. You just don't like her conclusions about that.

Sarah Silverman has embraced the George Costanza rules..

“To tell a good lie: you must believe it’s true.. “

Wow - thanks for sharing that insight on those cultures! Fascinating, and incredibly important to understand. NOT all cultures are equal and “diversity” at times can be as effective as having three round wheels and one square on a car.

Oh, another supposed comedienne who uses the f word for the same reason a drunk uses a lamppost. Take the word away and over half her act is gone.

Pathetic attempt at humor.

Feel sorry for her? Yep. I guess so. But I feel more sorrow for the people who find her funny and pay to hear/see her perform.
