So maybe a conservative can decide to stop telling jokes about killing liberals independently of such crimes. That does require, however, initiative as opposed to constant reaction.

Feherty knew exactly what he was doing. Yeah, he had to apologize but he knows in the end he’ll help his employer earn higher Nielsen points, and he’ll end up getting a raise.

No good, Mr. Tea. We can see your lips moving.

And “conservatives” believe themselves incapable of ever making any mistake. So you can see the difficulty here.

I’m confused; what’s the funny part?

Except by doing that conservatives would in effect be admitting they were in part, culpable for those crimes. They weren’t. So your ‘advice’ sucks ass.

It would be a shame if JT went on vacation and was captured by an enemy nation and tortured to find out what he knows. Because, as he shows here on a daily basis, he knows nothing.

It was Republican Bush’s torture-justifying lawyer John Yoo who said that crushing a child’s testicles would be within the President’s power.

Is that something right winger “Joe McD” would do? “Jay Tea” would.

And if she worked for anybody besides herself at the time she told those jokes, they’d be within their rights to fire her over it.

Joe McD – Your arguments in favor of anybody’s torture scares me more than the possibility of a second 9/11.

I asked this question on another thread and the person I asked it of flat-out ignored me. Perhaps you will be more responsive.

If we should do anything in our power to keep American citizens safe, including torture, then why must we stop at mere waterboarding? As we’ve already ruled the Geneva Conventions to be “quaint” (according to torture-justifying WH counsel John Yoo), really, the sky’s the limit.

How many fingers would you cut off a terror suspect? It stands to reason, after all, that the harder you press, the faster you’ll get to that imaginary ticking time bomb. How many hours in do you pluck out the first eye? How many members of that suspect’s family would you brutalize or murder in front of him?

Still. It was a joke.

The notion that Feherty was actually promoting violence or mass murder or anything criminal comes from people that need to have their heads examined.

It’s as simple as that.

That doesn’t include:

Republican Bush’s “joke”/lie killing over 100,000 Iraqis.

Republican Bush’s “joke”/lie misdirecting American troops out of AFghanistan.

Republican Bush’s Iraq “joke”/lie leaving Afghanistan prey to the Taliban.

Republican Bush’s Iraq “joke”/lie leaving nuclear armed Pakistan prey to the Taliban.

Republican Bush’s Iraq “joke”/lie leaving tens of thousands of American troops wounded.

Republican Bush’s Iraq “joke”/lie deteriorating America as a world power.

Bush: ““Nope, no weapons over there””.

And the sycophantish right wing media LAUGHED.

Right winger’s “jokes” kill.

Literally.

Republican President Bush:

“Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere.”

“Nope, no weapons over there”

“Maybe under here?”

4294 American troops killed because of Republican Bush’s “joke” that lied US into the Iraq War.

To be somewhat fair, “look over there” can a valid response when trying to point out hypocrisy or inconsistency. If “over there” is an example of one side doing exactly what they’ve just complained about the other side doing.

I haven’t seen any clip of the dinner, so I haven’t seen Sykes routine or Obama’s reaction or etc. So I don’t know if anything Sykes said about Limbaugh was worse than what he’s said about others. But if it is comparable the person shouldn’t be banished to some other venue to make their case.

Translation: “LOOK OVER THERE!”

I’d debate you like you were an actual human being, but we both know you would just run away like you did in the DADT debate or the “Drudge attack on First Lady” thread.

So if you want to talk about the Wanda Sykes, do it on your own Blog, before you get fired from that one.

Here’s something to get you started. Can you find anything Wanda Sykes said about Rush Limbaugh that was worse than what Rush Limbaugh has said about others?

Saturday night Wanda Sikes called Rush Limbaugh a traitor, a terrorist, and wished he’d die. And our president thought it was just gut-bustingly funny.

At least until his spokesman got up and said, in essence, “President Obama thought that was completely over the line. You didn’t see him guffawing over it.”

Yay for the new era of civility and maturity and respect and civil discourse.

“By the way, what is the liberal, progressive, reality based, perspective on Pelosi at the moment? What did she know and when did she know it? And is she telling the truth or is she a liar?”

Repack — “I think those are pretty much the questions. If she was in on it, screw her, okay, but for sure screw all the people from the White House who were in on it too. If Pelosi is guilty of anything, Cheney, Addington, Libby, Rice et al are for sure guilty of far worse. I’ll trade you Pelosi, and take Jello Jay with her, for putting the aforementioned in prison.”

That is pretty ridiculous, Repack. However, the sad thing is, Bush and many of the folks in his administration would probably take you up on that if it meant ensuring our safety (I know I would). That is what they were most concerned with when they made the decision to dunk 3 dirtbag’s heads in water immediately after they masterminded the murder of 3000 of our ciitizens, with the counsel of several attorneys (you do realize that this is all over 3 of the most heinous terroists out of the hundreds or thousands we have captured on the battlefield?….only 3).

That should really be something that gets you fired up. Not whether someone is a democrat or Republican, or whether someone tells a tasteless joke, but protecting innocent Americans while they go about their everyday lives without having to be in fear of someone killing them because they worship and live differently than them. And that means leaving those alone that we elect in our democratic Republic to make the tough decisions with the inside information that only they are privied to, without fear that they will be prosecuted for political reasons if the administration that follows them disagrees with their political views. That is not good for our national safety.
