Outrage--SNL Insults Christians, Pro-Lifers

Montag

[FreedomFriend]

The atheistic screen-guild, along with their friends in law, the media, and the government, have been blaspheming Christ's name for a long time. In my opinion, it is clear evidence of the time that we are in.

[College Repub]

Yeah. The DU people were ragging on SNL and Smigel for portraying Clinton as a sex crazed useless bum (that he is) and Reagan as the charasmatic leader and hero (that he is). They too urged people to write and protest. The similarities are eerie.

To me it's just shows how desperate these liberals are right now, they see their world crashing down around them and are looking for anything they can to upset things, I remember when Reagan was in office the Liberals were in the streets protesting every weekend.

Tonight's SNL show was mild compared to some of the things they did when Reagan was in office. But Reagan never responded to them and when someone would bring it up he just laughed it off as petty behavior from liberals.

That's all we have to do now is just consider the source, if we were to make a big deal of it by mass emails and protesting SNL it will just bring us down to their level.

IMHO The best thing to do is ignore the liberals, they are not worth trouble and by ignoring them makes them squirm just alittle more :-)

Who is Robert Smigel anyway?

I do not believe Smigel had as much to do with this one, given the additional credit screen with two new names, and the cartoon style being significantly different. Perhaps animators on loan from NARAL.

I have found MadTV over on FOX to be much, much funnier than SNL in recent weeks. Any hope of convincing ol' Rupert to enlist a liberal-ridiculing cartoon to his show?

[Doctor Doom]

Some people just can't get it that you have to be able to laugh at yourself.

That would be King of the Hill.

[screed]

SNL? Didn't there used to be a program on TV called Saturday Night Live? < /sarcasm>

I watched when it was Belushi, Aykroyd, Chase, Radner, Tomlin. i.e. when it was good. This show hasn't been good, ooooooh, for more than a decade. The fact that people still watch that crap is astonishing. Nothing personal, but if having no taste were illegal, you'd be looking at a life sentence (you have to watch game shows to get the chair). I'd be embarassed to admit that I still watch that crap.

america robert smigel is a huge liberal really took shots at Bush during the Florida fiasco, he had a short lived sit-com on comdey central. On the positive Tina Faye who hosts the news on SNL is closet Bushie and her mother worked on his campaign.

[Mark17]

A Flyer fan, I suspect?

Why do you watch television?

He probably watches it so he will have something to get upset about.

I thought the cartoon was funny. I didnt see it as an attack on Christians. It just poked fun at the pompous fool, Robinson. Robinson brought that joke on himself. In the cartoon Robinson appears to say that people with some thing seriously wrong with them like Parkinson most likely brought it on themselves, for example by being homosexuals. This is similar to the idiodic statement that Robinson made following 9/11 where he blamed the attack on homosexuals and others with whom he disagreed.

> broadcasters should not be allowed to broadcast their liberal propaganda when it assaults the sensitivities and sensibilities of religious.

So how would you accomplish this?

While the moral-liberal producers like to rant about their supposed 1st Amendment rights to ridicule and slam religion, given an organized campaign to contact their sponsors and complain, these oh-so-principled free-speech-at-whatever-cost ideologues would turn around their sleazy content really fast. You and I are eventually paying for this outrage by the products we purchase. If they want to manufacture toothpaste and deodorant and cars, fine. If they want to slam religion and asault our senibilities in doing so, then let them sit on their products and find a better avenue for salesmanship.

Even a handful of letters written to the sponsors of degrading television shows would have a huge effect. Business hates controversy. It gives them a headache, which they want to avoid. Besides, if we were to allow these degenerates to rule the society as they have the culture, there'd be no one of any productive worth out there to buy their products. So really it's all in their own best self-interests, too, to heed our kind message.

SNL was gone as soon as Chevy Chase left, once he was gone, it was all downhill from there. Haven't watched it but once since then, and it just proved the point. They are SOOO NOT funny.....

Chevy CHASE? HE'S funny?

Eddie Murphy isn't funny? Or, more accurately, Eddie Murphy was NEVER funny?

Martin Short wasn't funny?

Phil Hartman wasn't funny? The sketch in which Reagan orchestrated every last detail of Iran-Contra, even speaking fluent Arabic and Swedish, was the best political sketch of all time, and probably accurate. Second best was the sketch of Ross Perot dropping his VP candidate (whose name escapes me) off in the woods like an unwanted dog... "GRIDLOCK!!!" THIRD best was the most brutal bitch-slap of liberalism ever, "Dukakis After Dark," in which Willie Horton "dirty danced" with Donna Rice.

Julia Louise-Dreyfuss wasn't funny? I think she's probably the funniest woman alive.

Jan Hooks wasn't funny? Watch the Alamo sequence from Pee Wee's Big Adventure again - that was one of the best parodies ever filmed.

"Funny" is a subjective term, but I personally see a lot of exceptions to your statement.

[Doctor Doom]

A boycott is absolutely within your rights. Do as you will.

"Not allowing" them to broadcast what you find offensive suggests a government prohibition of free speech, which we both know is a no-no.

[Aric2000]

This is true, but I liked the OLD SNL, with James Belushi, and Chevy Chase and Gilda Radner, once they were gone, I watched every once in a while, but it just was NOT the same.

My favorites would be the Mr. Bill skits, the news with Chevy and Gilda, and of course the Samurai skits, the samurai skits just killed me!!

[Dave S]

I thought it was funny...

So did I.

Some people, however, are totally incapable of seeing the humor in anything that doesnt fall within certain narrowly prescribed limits. Laugh at cigar jokes about x42 but if anyone pokes fun at Robinson they have a fit. If Robinson doesnt want to be the brunt of an occasional joke, he shouldnt say stupid things.

[Bogey78O]

Well the purpose of it is to be insulting. I'm not really offended knowing they were going the insensitive route to begin ith. I do doubt however that they would use this formula against other religious groups.

[College Repub]

You can add the skit from 2 weeks ago with Clinton at Buddy's funeral. That was *CLASSIC*

[Bogey78O]

psst...Robertson...Robinson's a "cool dude"

[Dave S]

While no one is forcing anyone to watch anything, broadcasters should not be allowed to broadcast their liberal propaganda when it assaults the sensitivities and sensibilities of religious.

I guess that means you want them limited to airing shows like Little House on the Prairie and Touched by an Angel (and maybe not that one since it seems to suggest that Jews go to Heaven).
