Clinton Goes after Laugh Factory Comedians for Making Fun of Her
Judicial Watch ^

Posted on 11/18/2015 1:10:53 PM PST by amorphous

In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender, Hillary Clinton's campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood comedy club.

A video of the short performance, which is less than three minutes, is posted on the website of the renowned club, Laugh Factory, and the Clinton campaign has tried to censor it. Besides demanding that the video be taken down, the Clinton campaign has demanded the personal contact information of the performers that appear in the recording. This is no laughing matter for club owner Jamie Masada, a comedy guru who opened Laugh Factory more than three decades ago and has been instrumental in launching the careers of many famous comics. "They threatened me," Masada told Judicial Watch. "I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don't cut the video."

With the Clintons and Clintonistas, this is big business, not politics - sort of like Mafia operations. Her winning means big bucks to the Family

Vince Foster-ing is quicker and easier with all of the experience gained since then. What are a few more bodies to the tin goddess?

That was United States v. Alfred E Neuman. It was the first time the, “What, me worry?” defense was used.

Yep, most of it was not funny. Probably the best was the line about who wears a padded suit skirt better: Caitlyn Jenner or Hillary Clinton?

I'd suggest that it was the Laugh Factory putting out the story to drive traffic to it, but if that was a sample of the humor, it'll backfire.

If it really was the Clinton Campaign, then it's an intimidation tactic designed to forestall any intentionally funny stuff about her by pointing out the lameness of anything funny about Hillary.

The she-devil should come to this site. It would make her spontaneously combust.

I saw a video of her speaking to a group about making us all go to “summer camp” so we can learn to get along in politics.

Thin-skinned crowd libs are.

Remember when they fact-checked an SNL sketch on Obama?

Will the New York Times flood the zone? Don’t count on it...

If Trump had pulled this trick every newspaper in the country would have it on the front page...

Pathetic...
