May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Comedy: RIP

I grew up watching great comedy. Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, Gregory Peck, Laugh In, It's a Mad Mad Mad World, Blazing Saddles, Monte Python. Great comedians like Mort Saul, George Carlin, Buddy Hackett, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart to name but a few. 

Now we have the hateful Kathy Griffin. Now we have the unfunny, hateful John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and most especially Bill Maher.

This is from a Friday night Bill Maher episode, from his horrid politically correct show “Politically Incorrect”. It was mocking Delaware Senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell.

Actress impersonating O’Donnell:
"Like, you know, one time, during a game of Truth or Dare, me and my friend Becky killed a Mexican."
“We've all done things we regret. In college, you know, we used to get pregnant all the time on purpose, just so we could sell the stem cells. I'm not proud of that! It's just, it was the 80's, you know?”
“Those girls should know that keeping your virginity is very important. But in the ass is okay. It is, it's true. I've dabbled in the ass a little bit. It's in the Bible, it's okay.”

On several “comedy” shows, there has been an incessant waterfall of jokes about her and masturbation.

I’ve tried to sit through sitcoms. I’ve tried to sit through movies billed as comedies. I’ve tried to sit through movies billed as “romantic comedies”. None are funny. They are long drawn out juvenile sex jokes and personal insults.

If you want to hear funny insults, listen to Don Rickles.

I watch standup comedians and hear personal stories leaden with sex and unfunny insults. No funny political commentary or social commentary. No playing with the language ala George Carlin. Of course there are exceptions, but for the most part, comedy is dead. RIP 

Now this is funny.

The Racist Bill Maher

Alleged Comedian and Racist Bill Maher 

Alleged comedian Bill Maher has topped his own hatred and racism for everything not Statist and atheist.

Maher: "Isn't Obama's big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it's because he's only half black. You know? It's that, if he was a, if this, if he was fully black, I'm telling you, he would be a better president. There's a white man in him holding him back because everything is half-assed. The stimulus was half-assed, healthcare is half-assed, let's talk about Afghanistan."

This was from his HBO show "Real Time" yesterday, which maybe a hand full of committed communists and some bored people watch.

His racism has leaked through before. This past May: "I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president. I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs, you know, where he lifts up his shirt where you can see the gun in his pants. That's - (in black man voice) we've got a ‘motherfu**ing problem here?' Shoot somebody in the foot." 

This is the knucklehead that CNN hired as a political analyst. Here he makes racist statements, advocates violence, spews hatred, and all that's okay. Conservatives do none of that, have polite protests with no violence, nothing racist has been said or done except by leftist plants that get interviewed by the Jurassic Press, yet they are the horrible ones. Plus, if you ever look at the after pictures of Leftist and TEA Party rallies/protests, the TEA partiers leave their trash in and around the trash cans, and the Leftists leave a hot filthy mess behind. Plus, you don't hear this kind of trash talk from real political commentators that are on the Right.  

I would say double standard here, but I no longer think it is. The Left advocates racism, intolerance, fascism and hatred, and the Jurassic Press are the willing purveyors. Can you imagine if Maher had reversed his stupid statement?  

Have we reached such a sorry point in our culture that this passes for humor and insight; that this guy has a platform at all? In other times he would be dismissed because of what he is and stands for, and perhaps even shunned.
