Maher, Griffin, Colbert: Anti-Trump comedians are having a really bad moment

A racial slur. A homophobic joke. A mock beheading.

Anti-Trump comedians are having a moment — and not the good kind.

(snip...) antics like these are the exact opposite of the Michelle Obama maxim: “When they go low, we go high.”

[simpson96]

Author nicely encapsulates that with liberals, it's always, Do as I say, not as I do.

Remember all those anti-Obama comedians?

Yeah, me neither.

Time to revisit Sandra Bernhard’s calls for her “big black brothers” to “gang rape” Sarah Palin!

Maher, Griffin, Colbert: Anti-Trump comedians are having a really bad moment

They would have a well deserved “vacation” in Gitmo for a year or so. See if that would help their attitude.

Indeed they only attack those who are smarter.

How does a beheading come across in any way as funny? If I were to kill a puppy on youtube and call it a joke, would Griffin laugh?

“Maher, Griffin, Colbert: Anti-Trump comedians are having a really bad moment”

To call these tools comedians proves we as a nation have lost sight of the meaning of comedy. Political hacks of the first order on their knees to comply with group think.

“Remember all those anti-Obama comedians?”

I remember 8 years of “comedians” who only told “jokes” about how cool Obama was. Even the precious few who weren’t liberal sycophants, were scared to death to say anything critical about him.

Geeez! I feel so bad for them. Oh, wait. No I don’t. Hopefully sarah silverfish will soon insert foot in mouth too. Or has she.

The real Democrat maxim: Always go low.

When you join the cult that insists on being politically correct you will eventually fall victim to your own intolerance.

Kinda like Karma!

"the Michelle Obama maxim: “When they go low, we go high.” "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change." There is only one Mooch "maxim," and that is it.

[dfwgator]

I think it’s more important that liberals start getting hoisted on their own petards.

[BradyLS]

Griffin has a small point when she says, “This wouldn’t happen to a guy.”

What she should have said was “…a _liberal_ guy.” Colbert and Maher still have their day jobs. Alec jumps from gig to gig, spitting venom whenever he gets the chance.

A guy whose career really was torpedoed for a miniscule offense by today’s standards was Jackie Mason. It took him two decades to recover for seemingly flipping Ed the bird on the Ed Sullivan show.

[apocalypto]

I agree with you.

" . . . antics like these are the exact opposite of the Michelle Obama maxim: “When they go low, we go high.”

A maxim which was itself a lie. The recent incidents the author talks about are not exceptions to a general pattern of liberal civility, but are TYPICAL examples of leftist crudity and vulgarity.

This may be the most stupid post i’ve seen in years.

“Hopefully sarah silverfish will soon insert foot in mouth too. Or has she”

Oh she has... “I hope the Jews did kill Jesus, I’d do it again in a second!”

If Conservatives get up in arms about this, they are feeding the beast of political correctness.

I'm with you on that. Bill Maher ran afoul of the PC rule that only black people are allowed to ever use the n-word.
