Maybe we need to be sending our comments to the Jewish Council for Education and Research and tell them how bad they look for alligning themselves with Sara. But I posted only to give the Point counter point to her attempt to sway Florida Jews to vote for The Messiah BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
Who is Sarah Silverman?

So, you don't think that there is any limit that can be placed on what might be considered funny. It really shows that you have not thought your position all the way through. If a comedian wanted to shock audiences by making fun of black people, well, we can't be judgemental about that. Maybe they would like to joke about rape victims, or people being murdered. Maybe there's humor to be found in the Holocaust, which might get someone laughing, but that would be perfectly fine to you. Perhaps they could tell jokes about children being kidnapped or abused. That could be real funny, don't you think?
I can probably make some really good jokes about stupid people who like to be able to laugh at anything that can be imagined and pepper spray, but I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings. Don't get mad, I'm only joking.
There has to be a line drawn somewhere. I totally did not watch Austin Powers number 3 because it was toilet humor. I hold that against Mike Meyers. And I didn't go to his recent stupid guru movie either. Do I want to disdain him? HELL YES! Same with Rosie Odonell. I will not watch anything with Rosie Odonell. Not that she's rude, she's just a skank with a big mouth. But she's not getting any money from me. Same with Micheal Jackson. I don't know for sure anything about him, but I will turn the station anytime I hear any of his music, even the thriller stuff which wasn't that bad.
The point is that you have a moral responsibility to draw a line somewhere, and let it be known that the gratification of the senses at the expense of others is not acceptable to you. Nothing at all is wierd about that.
Sure there are limits. And once a comedian crosses MY defined limits, I ignore them. You’d be amazed at how effective this method is.
Instead, you take the opposite approach and invest more time and energy into the comedian in question. You actually used the phrase “moral responsibility” ?!?!?! You sound like the indecency police here.
Likewise, I dislike some of the other people you listed(Rosie and MJ). So what do I do? I don’t support them in any way. NO buying product, no watching them on TV, etc... I don’t however try to start a crusade against them, because I know it would be pointless.
And I certainly don’t try to liken anyone who finds them mildly entertaining with deviant’s without a moral compass.
Enjoy the view from way up there in your Ivory Tower.
Lyric’s to the Bigot’s song!
Can you blow your nose?
Can you tie your own shoe?
If you had Velcro once would you even know what to do?
When you make a Doody is it in your pants
Or trousers as they said in the day
Are you made because your grandson is gay?
Is it a bummer that your pubes are all gray?
When you clear your throat is it really disgusting
Does it go on for hours and mile?
You’re going to die soon
You’re going to die soon
It’s not cold in here your just dieing
You’re going to die soon
You’re going to die soon
You in the back you are dieing soon
You’re going to die soon
You’re going to die soon
We’re all going to die
Put not as soon as you guys
You’re going to die soon
You’re dieing
btt
Here is a new link for Sara Silverman’s Your going to Die soon video.
