Judged By Who You Associate With?

Attempted coverup: Obama laughs at offensive "jokes" on Fox news but not on MSNBC

From Fox news, we get the following report (excerpt) of the hate-speech about Rush Limbaugh uttered by black "comedian" Wanda Sykes:
"He's not saying anything differently than what Usama bin Laden is saying," she continued, before addressing the guest of honor, President Obama. "You know, you might want to look into this, sir, because I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin he missed his flight."

The crowd groaned, Obama smiled and Sykes may have noticed a little discomfort in the room. "Too much?" she asked. But then she piled it on:

"Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails' -- I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? ... He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

Obama joined the crowd in laughing at the crack about Limbaugh's "kidneys."

Below is the full MSNBC report
"The White House is keeping its distance from an entertainer's joke comparing conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh to a terrorist.

On Monday, presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs was asked for President Barack Obama's reaction to Wanda Sykes' comedic performance Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

"I don’t know how guests get booked," said Gibbs. "That’s a White House Correspondents' Association thing."

Anything missing from the MSNBC report? To the bigoted mainstream media, a black man can do no wrong. He can certainly not laugh at hate speech. So they cover for Obama in their usual way.

Will Sykes have to apologize the way golf analyst David Feherty had to? Both wished death on someone.

And will Obama condemn her hate speech? I hope I am wrong but I think we already know the answers to both questions. There are reports that "The White House" (a talking house?) has distanced itself from the remarks but as at the time of writing we had heard nothing from Obama himself

Man, between the "Dijongate", this, and the other nonsense, it makes one wonder why such a focus on sheer stupidity.

Why would you label Obama stupid?

some of us have to create jobs and pay taxes so that you can sit on your ass and blog nonsense and whine about Miller 40 times a day.

You create jobs? How many high paying jobs have you created since the Super Center project in Leslieville was defeated. As far a sitting on MY ass it is strange that you are posting comments within "minutes" of me putting something new on my blog. "Whine about Miller 40 times a day" would mean I post in excess 0f 14,600 items in a year and the stats dispute this and just make you come across as a troubled individual looking for attention whih I believe should be forthcoming from professionals in the mental health field.

2 actually, in the last couple months. And another if things go well in the near term. It took me almost 10 years of very hard work to get this off the ground, and I'm proud to be one of the many, many small businesses who are creating jobs. Now I realize as a conservative, you will scoff at this. But wouldn't surprise me, so does Harper, as he has so far, done dick all to help small businesses except throw a token trinket or two which amounts to nothing.

As for posting minutes after your post, I really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. But there's likely a product at the pharmacy that will help if it becomes more of a problem for you.

There. something you might understand.

Proof....you made the statement and unless you actually did create these jobs your obession about tories doesn't hold water.

provide a contact email and I will be more than happy to. I don't associate my business with my opinions, it is not fair to my new business partners as they may have differing opinions or not wish to have my political views associated with their livelihood. And in fact I can email the details and you are welcome to visit the premises and meet the new people who have been added to the business. One is a web developer, and the other, a graphic designer. My business is located in a commercial building near Spadina and Queen, should you want to drop by.

You'll have all the proof you could ever want.
