Liberals don't get the joke, but they'll try to get the one who made it

Nobody outs liberals as well as Limbaugh does.

"Blazing Saddles" would never be allowed to be made today because "it is racist"... yet it's primary message is to denounce the stupidity of racism.

"The sheriff is a N*****!"
"Excuse me while I whip this out!"

Yeah, that would go over big on Ebert & Whoever.

"Blazing Saddles" would never be allowed to be made today . . .

It could be made

The category is "People Who Annoy You"

I've just finished reading The Liberal Mind - The Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr., M.D. and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the insanity of the Left. I think it should be required reading for every person before graduating from high school.

I have no affiliation with Dr. Rossiter and receive no remuneration from the sale of the book.

The problem is the Left is trying to redefine freedom of speech as the the right not to be offended. Any speech on important issues is going to offend somebody.

[Aetius]

Its no surprise that leftwingers have no sense of humor about such things, which is surprising since most comedians are liberals.

[Elsie]

Heck, I'm surprised it hasn't been banned from video stores yet.

Along with "Song of the South"

The problem is the Left is trying to redefine freedom of speech as the the right (on the Left) not to be offended (by the Right).

[Cheburashka]

Does that make me a “person without color”?

[eyedigress]

They also know how ignorant their audience is

That is SPOT ON!

"IT IS NOT LIBAUGH’S! IT WAS FROM THE LA TIMES"

No mater how many time Rush explains this on his show, it still won't make a difference with the stupid ones.

They simply don't listen.

Or don't want to hear.

Trying to get the libs to understand anything is a hugh waste of time.

"“magic colored person of color”. Would that work?"

What color?

[Designer II]

"..most comedians are liberals."

Most of what passes for "humor" these days is someone making fun of sombody else.

I never laugh at that.

[7thson]

Now that’s funny!8-)

Song of the South has been banned - for years!

“That leaves about 90% of the left out in the cold when it comes to satire.”

How right you are - some of the funniest humor is subtle, gee-I-have-to-think-about-that humor. Goes right over the head of some folks.

I consider Monty Python humor satire and it is excellent. You laugh at the time the joke/pratfall/silly line is done and then you laugh AGAIN 5 minutes later as it sinks in how witty the whole thing was!

Can anyone else think of a humorist who knows how to present satire in a routine, etc.

What I really hate is “toilet or crude” humor or jokes at other’s expense - it really really irritates me.
