Rich studiously avoids mentioning P.J. O’Rourke.

This article is so full of crap that it would be hard to know where to start to provide a counter argument. I’ll just say this: most humor is not political, and even if the people performing it are politically liberal, that does not make it liberal humor. Many conservatives liked shows like “Frasier” and “Seinfeld” and “Home Improvement” even if they were mostly written and acted by liberals. The notion that conservative humor would somehow have to involve bullying of the little guy is as wrong as it is offensive.

Are you kidding me!? Conservatives are the only ones who are actually funny! The lib’s depend of filth, sex, and shock value. NOT funny at all.
A truly funny person can make jokes out of any circumstance and crack you up without all the vomit the leftists attach to it.

Started to read.

Suspected the author was a moron but gave him a chance.

Had it confirmed with the lines:

"What bugs Gutfeld now, as it does Dunham’s grumpy old Walter and many present-day American conservatives, is that this country insists on perpetually re-­creating itself, progressively whittling down old white men’s monopoly on power.

In this sense, a lot of conservative comedy both expresses and panders to today’s Republican base, older white men who see America changing and feel impotent about thwarting it"

And that's where I stopped wasting my time reading...

Life's to short to waste on drivel.

"The Chris Christie scandal showed the right’s timidity in confronting its own sacred cows."

Proof that the writer knows conservatives not at all. The left is absolutely blind to true conservative nature.

As for humor, conservatives like intelligent, adult, witty humor, and appreciate subtle nuance, sarcasm and parody. We don't like potty-mouthed, genitalized, sophomoric outburts so much.

“Here in Texas we have the death penalty for murderers. . . and we yoooouzze it!!!” Ron White

Of course conservatives are funny, unless you are a libtard with no sense of humor.

It’s hard to have a sense of humor when communists are pissing on your constitution, raising your taxes, taking your guns and persecuting you because you’re straight and Christian.

Some of my stuff is pretty funny….in a way that tortures liberals: like my column “Sam the Sham”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2014/05/michael_sam_the_sham.html

I mean it’s not comedy, but it is political humor.

It’s hard to be funny when you see your world crumbling around you.

Well, that was an enormous pile of crap. Oh, I see, Frank Rich wrote it. I wish I had seen that before diving in.

Can Liberals Get their Inane, Nasty, Narcissistic Ideas Across In Less Than 3 Pages?

Anyway, I think Rush is Hilarious, just to start.

Plus, we find liberals to be sickeningly easily amused.

We see it when they show clips like in the Bernie Brief, and when we go to the movies at the artsy revival cinema.

Watch the clip of SNL making fun of Jayzee and solange. They are apopleptic. It’s like they’re amazed that people can be so funny. But it’s not funny. It’s a nasty domestic dispute and the spoof is unimaginative and amateurish.

What delusional left-wing jackasses like this Frank Rich character don't realize is that the stereotype of the conservative as a finger-wagging church lady is long outdated. Left-wingers are now the new church ladies - finger-wagging at anything and everything that might fall slightly out-of-bounds or paint one speck of color outside of the lines. Try making a real joke these days - racist! sexist! homophobic! Heck, for that matter, just try saying hello to someone, but don't forget to check your privilege!

Left-wingers constitute the whole of the Hollywood machine these days, including comedy, but only because the rezident political officer allows only left-wingers to be seen. The truth is that left-wing comedians are funny to nobody except other hardcore left-wingers, or those under 18 who laugh uproariously at their scat and sex jokes. Here is the gist of "humor" during the Bush years: "George Bush - what an a**hole, eh?" [crowd of leftwing nutbags goes wild]. "I sure hate that guy, wish he would get AIDS from a gorilla and die!" [crowd of left-wing nutbag goes wild again].

I'm not saying you have to be retarded to laugh at left-wing comedians, but it helps.
