Conservatives making a Hillary joke is prosecutable as a hate crime or something.

I suppose it depends on the joke, don’t it? If someone were to say something like, “Hillary’s so fat, I wish she would just fucking die because she’s such a Nazifacistislamohomo murderer, BLAGHGH!!!!”
That could probably get tagged as a hate crime, yes.

Wow, Farris, bitter much?

Show me a conservative capable of making a Hillary joke that rises above the level of third-grade bullying and I guarantee you I will defend them against any scary liberal who cries “hate crime!”

I’m pretty sure that Conservatives making a Hillary joke is prosecutable as a hate crime or something.

To the writers of The Half Hour thingy:

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because Obama sounds like Osama! (where’s my laugh track?)

To conservatives, funny equals mean.

What, you expected more out of the movement that brought us Mallard Fillmore?

I think I understand why right-wingers consider Rush Limbaugh funny. Compared to this crap, he’s a riot, especially when he’s high.

I dont get it. Why is a fake drug with outlandish side-effects funny? Its just oxy-contin with clinton’s name in it.

Simple answers to simple questions:

Why does Fox fail to make them FUNNY?

For the same reason that Fox News Channel fails to be a news channel (it’s hard to be funny when you only push hate, lies, and propaganda).

The one time I saw it, what got to me was how absolutely joyless the presenters were. Not like Stewart is ecstatic on his show, but you can tell he likes being there. Colbert seems to absolutely love what he’s doing.

In addition, um, the writing is just so bad.
