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.)
