Burgold Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sykes should have gone with "prostate." Leave the kidneys alone. Sykes is a liberal. She couldn't have gone Pro-state, if she wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexey Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 so having browsed through this thread, here's where we are now at. The right makes Tasteless jokes. The left gets outraged. The left makes tasteless jokes, the right gets outraged. Both sides are hypocrites. Anyone who denies this is plum dumb. Different sides have different kinds of wackos. Let us not pretend that we are dealing with a symmetrical situation here. This reminds me of "Obama is a socialist" McCain saying "he goes negative too" about "McCain's economic policies suck" Obama.

81artmonk Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Her humor was tasteless and I think the fact that our president laughed at jokes implying someones death was uncalled for. Just curious what would have happened if the same jokes were used, but directed at the president instead of the those it was intended for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dictator Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Her humor was tasteless and I think the fact that our president laughed at jokes implying someones death was uncalled for. agreed. Just curious what would have happened if the same jokes were used, but directed at the president instead of the those it was intended for? there's no hope for you if you can't tell the difference between a radio blowhard and the President of the United States of America. while it's not good to wish death on anyone, i will state that it's different to wish death on the president as oppossed to a normal citizen.

Duckus Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Just curious what would have happened if the same jokes were used, but directed at the president instead of the those it was intended for? Most likely you would spend hours defending it it on here. You would want to start several threads on it, but since you don't have that ability anymore you would probably spam several other unrelated political threads with articles talking about the complete overreaction of the evil liberal media and how if you don't like freedom then get out of the country. Probably throw in a few socialism rants as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama wasn't laughing "at jokes implying someones death was uncalled for." So now, one joke becomes "jokes"? Gee whiz, if only you and the other right-wingers showed such concern in the past for tasteless jokes. :doh: I cannot even take this question seriously, after all the stuff we've heard directed towards the President, even before he was elected.

The media had already made thousands of GWB / WMD jokes 2. GWB was making fun of himself 3. While tasteless it wasn't a 9-11joke 4. The media and libs on this board, ripped him a new one for making that joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sykes' joke about Limbaugh wasn't funny. It was dumb and tasteless. Really, the left needs to stop talking about him. And the last thing they should be doing is giving him an excuse to play the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Isnt stuff like this THE ENTIRE POINT of the WH correspondents dinner? If anyone should be offended it should be the other comedians. Because shes not that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because shes not that funny. Most of the time, the jokes at this event are aimed towards the party in power...Sykes got her share of them in on the dems, though. I thought Sykes was pretty damn funny, minus the over-the-line moments others have already mentioned. But hell, the rest had me rollin' lol :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken, however my point is this. The president should know better to laugh and have more common sense. if it were wrong to aim it at the president than it's the same for a citizen, he is after all just one of us in charge.

Holy crap, you are gonna nail us for plural use of the word joke??:doh: And you say we are anal and over the top!!! you're right it was one joke. However doesn't change the fact that the ones not dealing with Rush were tasteless and he shouldn't have laughed. Gee whiz, if only you and the other right-wingers showed such concern in the past for tasteless jokes. :doh: I cannot even take this question seriously, after all the stuff we've heard directed towards the President, even before he was elected. AS usual you are missing the whole point, but that's not surprising. I might point out that even when OUR guy was in, some of the jokes were directed at them and were quite insulting and demeaning for the president. Colbert being the most recent! Second, a personal joke told online or between friends is very different than having a comic tell a few rather tasteless jokes about other people and having the pres of the USA laugh at them giving them credibility. At best he could have just smiled. It was tuely appearant that he thought they were funny and he laughed at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I wonder if there's anybody in this thread who has never wished someone to drop dead or said they hate someone? I wonder if there's anyone on this board who ever said those words, but didn't mean them? I wonder if there's anybody on this board who ever said **** you to someone but didn't actually want to have intercourse with them at that moment? Or said, "Go to Hell!" to a parent who even in that moment they didn't wish them doomed to eternal torment and grief. There isn't a person on this board who thinks that Sykes meant that joke literally or that she was truly wishing Limbaugh to die, is there?
