Can you imagine a skit where they portrayed Obama as having sex with his children?
Neither can I.
I don’t disagree with your point but with comedy I am not sure that your point is not incorporated within the skit.
SNL has commented on how Obama gets a double standard.
I would draw everyone’s attention to a skit done the previous week during the news segment featuring a typical Alaskan. It had similar inuendoes directed at Alaska. I think that sketch failed for reasons noted by those angry here.
It is possible that the reaction to that flawed skit lead to a critique of those assumptions.
Again, this is wild speculation and difficult to verify. But here again, I think conservatives need to become more creative in interpreting and controlling the comic frame. If we spin it in our favor that is fine.
I think we could say to our water cooler pals all of the things noted here— including the ‘they’d never say that about Obama’ as part of our reaction. That solidified more arguments against Obama and leaves us not looking like whiners.
That is why Southpark is so much bette than SNL. Southpark attacks all sides equally.
