obama laughs that rush should have kidney failure

And my point wasn't to discredit that, but to educate people about the power that he wielded.

If you note, I pointed out what interested me about the story, not about your post.

The fact that not only did Larry King ask her a question that proved he was either ignorant (don't believe he was) or was promoting political bias, but that Slate continued to promote it, keeping their readers in ignorance, then you again promoted it saying that he had "refused" to grant what he could not grant.

Now that you have given me your answer to that

Now my point is that while you see that he was crass, I see the continued and purposeful spreading of ignorance in order to create a perception of something as "worse". Everybody laughs at crass jokes on occasion, or sometimes they even make them. Bowling jokes come to mind.

Why must you continue to keep people in ignorance in order to attempt to make this point? There is no need. Either you were ignorant and learned something today, or you were perpetuating something you thought would help your "cause". Instead of correcting the implication of his first "rejection" you perpetuate it to make his perceived "joke" even "worse". It is a play at emotional politics that people who pay attention should be above, and if you are here posting it is somewhat assumed that you pay attention. It is the reason we have a "divide" among Americans.

I find it always sad when people continue to promote an ignorant position along with something that could actually be a point, because it takes away from any significant advantage you could have had. It shouldn't be ignored that he hadn't the power to change her fate. Stressing how he had "refused" to grant what he couldn't grant, then made the joke definitely changes the perception of the joke.

Like a dull knife, you just ain't cuttin' . . .


Anyway, my favorite joke of Bush's was the oh so hilarious sketch of him searching for the non-existent weapons of mass destruction.

Yeah, that was stupid. Whomever didn't warn him is probably still chuckling about what an idiot he looked.

Again, I care not that somebody laughs at, or makes, the occasional crass joke. I do care at the purposeful and willful attempt to continue perpetuating ignorance made by the media in order to further a political bias and engender emotive uneducated responses from the weak of mind. Either people in the media have the responsibility to educate, or it is just another tool of whichever political party continues to hold their minds in thrall.

karla faye tucker was a murderous bitch who got what the people of Texas thought she should have. That Bush cracked a remark at her pitiful attempts for clemency simple because she was a woman is of little consequence.

There is a HUGE difference between mocking some killer bitchs whine to spare her pitiful life and laughing at a joke for someone to die for opposing political ideology.

Any that can't see THAT difference, well they should probably have their kidneys fail as well.

One notable fact missing in that story from Slate is that the Governor of Texas cannot stay an execution except once for only 30 days for a judicial review from judges that are not appointed by his office, and that the execution in question had gone through that judicial review. There was nothing more the Governor could have done, even if it had been somehow an opponent of the death penalty.

You are right. Texas Governors being little more than a figure head position in the State and his lack of experience running anything else except a baseball team is what gave me serious concerns about his ability to manage the Federal Government. Needless to say he pretty much exceeded everyones worst nightmare.

hey retard, are you able to tell the difference between a convicted murderer and a talk show host?

Yes, the convicted killer has less blood on her hands.

Seriously, Rush has way more blood on his hands then Carla Faye Tucker. The main difference is proximity to the actual killing.

Carla Faye just helped to pick axe to death two people. Rush was one of the lead propagandist chicken hawks leading up to the Iraq invasion in which thousans of our troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi's died. Rush has way more blood on his hands then Carla Faye Tucker did. That's the main difference I see. It would take little imagination to imagine Rush having a viagra induced orgasm every time he hears of an Iraqi dying.

in regards to clemency applications, texas law requires a majority of the paroles board AND the governer to grant clemency. This was done to avoid politically motivated death sentence commutations by just one person.
 
The hypocrites show their ugly intolerance again....
the hypocrites didn't like David Feherty's attempt at humor and he is forced to apologize The joke:
"If you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama Bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and Bin Laden would be strangled to death."


Wanda Sykes, after lying about what Rush Limbaugh said about wanting Obamas socialist agenda to fail, (claiming Rush wanted America to fail and people to loose jobs).....she can call Rush a terrorist, the 20th 9/11 hijacker, mis-characterize his dependence on the painkiller OxyContin as a willing addict and wish his death by kidney failure.......and its all good natured comedy.......

I couldn't care less about whatshisname's comment about Nancy Pelosi except that instead of saying that he would shoot Nancy Pelosi instead of Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity he ascribed to US soldiers his own homicidal rage towards people he disagrees with politically. That's fucked up. And he wasn't forced to apologize. He just realized that what he said was fucked up and he likes to earn a living and walk amongst the respectable types in the world. And he's isn't a comedian. And it wasn't funny.

And Wanda Sykes didn't really joke about shooing Rush Limbaugh so it's kind of different. She just joked that she hoped his kidney's failed. Kinda like Obama joking about how Hilary tried to give him swine flu.
 
Jesus people, it was a joke. J-O-K-E

They also joked about the president and quite a few jokes about Biden. Sykes said something about the first black president, until he screws up, then its 'What about that half-white guy?"

It was a night of jokes. You guys make it sound like they were trying to kill someone.

Wow...are you bouncing off the walls or what..??

Feherty didn't say HE would shoot anybody you moron...and repeating this old old joke hardly shows any homicidal rage towards anyone....
You can't even read and comprehend at a third grade level...

Wanda Sykes didn't really joke about shooting Rush Limbaugh?... and no one said she did...she joked about him having kidney failure...the equivalent to wishing him dead...

The point is the freekin' hypocracy....Sykes gets a bye because shes a lib Dem joking about Republicans...

If I called you a terrorist would you consider it funny? If you were a recovering drug addict and I joked about your condition would you think that was funny?

Yeah...remember how funny it was when Imus called Clinton a weasel at one of these gatherings....or
how funny it was when Fuzzy Zeller the golfer joked about Tiger putting fried chicken on the menu at a tournament...

Bullshit...they both payed dearly for their jokes...only the hypocrites on the left can "joke" about race and Republicans....the hard rules only apply to the Conservatives....

Feherty? He has been condemned by representatives from Pelosi and Reid and even the PGA Tour. CBS issued a statement that said, "Feherty's column for a Dallas magazine is an unacceptable attempt at humor and is not in any way condoned."


If you don't know the facts...STFU
