Week of May 25, 2008 - May 31, 2008

If he was Chris Rock


Ok, so I am sure everyone heard the pfleger comments.  I would first like to point out that I think it's unacceptable and inappropriate for a church forum.  I also wish that Obama's church would just go away for about six months.

So with my objections to the comments made I will say this.

This man was trying to be funny.  It was a totally inappropriate place for this type of humor, however I have to admit....

If he had been Chris Rock,...  and that had been on comedy central I have to admit I would be laughing my ass off.  Just like I laugh my ass off when Stephanie Miller "onion belts" Mcain on Air America, and yes how I laughed when Saturday Night Live did the pillow for Barack sketch.

I know I will get some flaming for this post, however I think my main question is, when did it become so offensive to make fun of candidates.  (and I am not talking about when preachers do it because that is offensive but when comedians and television personalities do it everyone gets uptight.  I don't remember people getting uptight when Bill Clinton was portrayed stopping at a Mcdonalds in the middle of his jog for a bag of cheeseburgers.  What's changed here?  We as a culture have always lampooned and ridiculed our elected officials.  It's kind of the American way.)
