This "black face" skit was a 21st Century skit. I never watched "The Man Show", so I was unaware of how far to the edge they went. No way that would pass today, just 15 years or so later.

Which brings up another interesting thought. Where is this culture going to? Some areas way more liberal (no-sex bathrooms) and in other areas ultra restrictive. While one could say that no way a black face skit should be tolerated, we have historical examples of that seemingly the norm just 15 years ago. That is a huge shift.

Our local radio ConservaBabe made a chilling observation, yesterday.

She said it doesn’t matter how many Republicans, ‘We The People’ vote into office, as we’ve LOST The Culture War to the Socialists. They OWN the Media, many local Town/City Councils, Education K-12 AND the Colleges. They own Hollywood and the Judiciary again in many states and cities. They have been ALLOWED to re-write History! While Big Business USED to be their whipping boy, now the HUGE companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, etc. are ALL owned by blatant Leftists.

And the Republicans respond, how? *Crickets Chirping*

I never looked at it that way, but now I am 100% DEPRESSED!

Nobody said that NBC "dredged up" the Access Hollywood tape of Trump.

I watched Hannity's show last night. While I'm no fan of Kimmel's, I think Sean needs to be a bit more selective in the clips he uses in his attacks.

First, "edgy" comedy is classified as such because it pushes the envelope, and that's what "The Man Show" was all about. Plus, it was juvenile humor directed at juvenile minds.

So, I think a little perspective is needed before branding Kimmel a "pervert" for it.

His relentless attacks on DJT and Melania are a different matter, however.

Hannity is totally on point calling such behavior "bullying", and he's completely correct in calling Kimmel out for it.

There's no doubt, however, his buddies in lib-land will circle the wagons around Kimmel on this, and launch all-out war on Hannity.

lol Kimmel deserves it. He is the same comedian now as he was when he did the "black face" skit of Karl Malone. Humor at the expense of others, whether it be Melania, black people, or gays. If you are going to play in "politically correct" playground, you are subject to their rules.

Don't fret. Remember - Justice Kennedy and Justice Ginsburg.

Things can change rapidly with a Supreme Court that is on America's side.

This is true the left has hijacked every public facing entity except talk radio and arguably one cable news station. News, Entertainment, Education the Judiciary, most institutions hell even Ad Agencies. Even the Girl Scouts was taken over by NOW. The left picked thier targets well and they were relentless and tireless. Trump was literally the last hope in my mind.

> we’ve LOST The Culture War to the Socialists <

Some truth there. On the other hand...a good friend of mine was very liberal in her 20’s. Now fast-forward 20 years. She is now quite conservative.

What changed? She is tired of paying high taxes to support free-loaders. And she is tired of all the crime in her neighborhood. So while schools and the media make people liberals, real life changes them into conservatives.

Normally I’d just say ignore but they’ve gone to s whole new level of being insulting punks. Kick the snowflakes in the shins. They’ll do something stupid. They always do.
And we don’t have to give on culture wars. We have to fight back.

If you take a spin over to DUmmyland and read around, you may be surprised to see that they say EXACTLY the same thing, only in their version the right holds all of the cards.

I think that there is a uniparty or cabal or something that intentionally stirs the chit-pot with the sole intent of keeping the left and the right absolutely convinced that they are losing the nation to the other side.

"Nobody said that NBC "dredged up" the Access Hollywood tape of Trump."

Beat me to it. Progressives always try to destroy conservatives by digging into their distant past. Remember the "Romney was a high-school bully" theme, or the bit about Trump pulling a girl's pigtails in the second grade?

I am backing Hannity 100â„… on this. Jimmy Kimmel is a nasty, disgusting, abhorrent pervert of the highest order who has been passing himself off as some kind of moral authority while constantly attacking Trump over Stormy Daniels and for being a sexual abuser. Turns out Kimmel is the biggest serial sexual abuser on the planet going back over s decade. His entire career was built on sexually abusing and exploiting women. What a hypocrite.
