Bernie Mac Not Loved at Obama Rally
The Celebrity Cafe.com ^ | July 12,2008 | Marshall Burns

Posted on 07/13/2008 10:44:00 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

Bernie Mac said some things that didn’t jive with Obama’s crowd and got a negative reaction for it.

Bernie Mac’s show at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago didn’t fly so well on Friday night as he appeared for a fund-raiser for Barack Obama. In one of his jokes he said, “My little nephew came to me and he said, ‘Uncle, what’s the different between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?’ I said, ‘I don’t know,’ but I said, ‘Go upstairs and ask your mother if she’d make love to the mailman for $50,000,’” reported the Associated Press.

This joke received an angry response from at least one person in the audience who said it was offensive to women. “It’s not funny. Let’s get Barack on,” shouted a man from the crowd, according to AP. Each person in the crowd had paid $2,300 to support the Illinois senator.

It's alright everyone, Obama didn't really know Bernie Mac that well.

“Free speech” under a B. Hussein Obama administration. I am sure Obama doesn't consider websites like this one to be “very funny” either.

The mistake was having a comedian for the opener. Liberals do not have a sense of humor.

The mistake was also in choosing Mac for the opener.......Looks like a bit of pandering to the blacks in the audience, and it looks like it backfired.

All I can say is........heh.

Wow! The Liberals really do need to open their minds and realize that everything cannot be taken seriously.

Bernie Mac is a funny guy. Loved his show and the movies he acted in.

The audience needs to develop a sense of humor, heh.

It depends on the jokes though. If he had gotten into a routine of poking fun at Bush, that would have been ok with everyone there.

“Sen. Obama told Bernie Mac that he doesn’t condone these statements..."

So, in Obamanation a joke punchline amounts to a "statement" What a pompous ass. Well, in other news each of Obama's own statements is definitely a joke...

Toward the end of a 10-minute standup routine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, the 50-year-old star of “The Bernie Mac Show” joked about menopause, sexual infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language.

“My little nephew came to me and he said, ‘Uncle, what’s the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?’” Mac said. “I said, I don’t know, but I said, ‘Go upstairs and ask your mother if she’d make love to the mailman for $50,000.’”

Hell....I think that's very pithy, wry and funny. I'm not surpised though that pinhead guilty mushy whites composed of fembot chin forward bobcut no makeup alpha wives and their little Yorkie husbands wouldn't like it.

Bet that an all black Def Jam crowd woulda howled. Obama is now learning who his real peeps are.

I'm a southern cracker old style but I'd rather roll with the bruthas and sistas for fun than a bunch of dried up stuffy politically correct robots like most white Obama worshippers.

“We can’t afford to be divided by race. We can’t afford to be divided by region or by class and we can’t afford to be divided by gender, which by the way, that means, Bernie, you’ve got to clean up your act next time,” Obama said. “This is a family affair. By the way, I’m just messing with you, man.”

Nice going, Hussein!

Last week, he lost the Jesse Jackson negroes. This week he lost the Bernie Mac negroes.

At this rate, the only black people who will vote for Hussein in November will be Mean Michelle and Rev. Crackpot Wright!!!

Just another way that dems and islamofacists are alike. No sense of humor and perpetually pi**ed about everything.

The episode where he “helped” pick out the date for his niece for the prom was BRILLIANT! It was absolutely hilarious...smarter...more “high level” than 99% of the junk-for-sitcoms out there. Go, Bernie!!!

He also made a memorable cameo on “King of the Hill”, where he played a repairman that was supposedly being harassed by Hank’s “racist” dog Ladybird.

Here's the whole joke from YAHOO:
The beginning of the joke was quoted: "My little nephew came to me and he said, 'Uncle, what's the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?'" Mac said. "I said, I don't know, but I said, 'Go upstairs and ask your mother if she'd make love to the mailman for $50,000."
The rest of the joke is: The boy does, comes back and he says his mom said yes she would. So Bernie says go ask your sister if she'd make love to the mailman for $50,000. The boys comes back and says she would too. Bernie says then hypothetically we have $100,000, but realistically we are living with a couple of sluts.

Shouldn't we be allowed to assess this for ourselves? If it's news, MSM should cover it.

Actually they do, especially funn to them is a fat drunk black woman making lewd puns about "Bush." That's a real knee-slapper for liberals.

Old joke, heard it from 2 radio guys(Mark and Brian???)a few years back, sure they got it from somewhere else. But that’s comedy...as Milton Berle used to say, “I know a good joke when I steal one — I mean, hear one”

He hasn’t lost 1 black vote. Black folk will vote for him irregardless of who he offends black or white. They will vote for him because they just chalk it up to saying or doing what he needs to get elected.

Humor is not allowed in liberal settings, I know , I learned the hard way.

Just about the only acceptable jokes to liberal groups:
God jokes; they always seem to go over without offending anyone who dares to come forward.

It seems like Barack Hussein forgot that his audience is just like him. Half white. Where’s the comedian for the white folks? These type of vulgar jokes are the kind you would here everyday on BET black entertainment network. I wonder what kind of jokes you would hear on WET white entertainment network. Oops I forgot we are not allowed to have one of those.
