Palin-basher Sandra Bernhard loses gig over gang-rape joke

Lesson for “comedian” Sandra Bernhard:
If you joke about Palin being gang-raped by black men, you might turn off even your most ardent supporters.
Actions have consequences, via Life News:
Comedian Sandra Bernhard has lost her slot as a keynote speaker for a women’s shelter in Massachusetts after attacking vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on abortion. In a monologue criticizing the Alaska governor, Bernhard made crude comments about rape that cost her the gig.
The comments came in a one-woman stand up show Bernhard did last month in Washington, D.C.. During the event, Bernhard said Palin would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” and the comments came in a diatribe against Palin’s pro-life views.
Bernhard was supposed to be a featured speaker at the October 16 event “Funny Women … Serious Business” put on by the Boston-based Rosie’s Place, a domestic violence shelter for women.
Public relations director Leemarie Mosca told AP about the cancellation and said the comments were offensive to many of the victims the shelter helps as well as its staff and volunteers.
“In light of our mission, we don’t think violence against women is a laughing matter,” she said.

EQ:
I sincerely wish the best for you and your family. ALS can be an terrible disease, and I hope you all find strength in your faith and support system.
On a side note, aspartame, splenda, and other artificial sweeteners can destroy the body and imitate or cause neurological disorders. The 1rst time I addressed this info, I came off as defensive and ugly because of certain types of people reading my post. That was a mistake, because the main message was lost. I don’t know why ALS happen to your family, but artficial sugars have ravaged the central nervous system of someone close to me. I wanna get that info out there. Again, best of luck on the tough road ahead, and take care.
I do wish these celebrity “intellectuals” would stop trying to insult the intelligence of their audiences with platitudes of “free speech” and- in a moment of refreshing honesty- just come out and say they wanted to push the envelope. The free exchange of thoughts and ideas can’t be equated with saying it’s okay to rape someone. The former is good. The latter is horrible.
That being said, when the hell did Sandra Bernhard get her career back?
I didn’t know that. Sorry to hear about your loved one.
Thanks for the kind words. I just don’t know how this is all going to play out and I feel like I’m losing my mind.
THing is, it should have been disgusting to everyone. Unfortunately, Liberals have no gag reflex and actually welcome things said such as this…as long as it is about someone with an (R) after their name.
Comedy is subjective.
You merely need wonder about the mentality of someone who would find gang-rape by a bunch of thugs to be humorous.
englishqueen01, for what it’s worth, you and your family will be in my prayers.
It would be hard to watch Bernhard anyway unless she had a bag over her head. But beyond that….she’s just another sad example of the coarsening of America. Those who support her do our society a grave injustice by their condoning of such trash. The more people like her are showcased, the more desensitized our society becomes to their garbage. This is not a battle we can afford to lose.
Looking and listening to this humanoid explains an awful lot about liberals and BDS/PDS.
Is it something in the kool-aid?
