"Repeat after me: fetus, fetus, fetus. It's not a baby until it's born."

silly

"Here's the other side of your simplistic world view: If you don't have a uterus, you don't have an opinion about abortions."

Wrong

shouldn't gays be segragated from communal facilities in the military? Why are women's privacy rights more important that straight dudes? If they aren't, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Replace her with someone who cares.

"Let us not forget that 1 in 12 transgendered people are the victims of murder."

There is no way that nearly 10% of the trannies are murdered.

"Pay Attention, Antifems

I hope the antifems remember this article the next time they want to rant and scream about how feminists don't care about men's issues. But I won't hold my breath."

Eating disorders are not men's issues. Anyway, Frank Bruni is gay. That means his almost certainly a feminist ally. That's how it works.

Lesbians lead the feminist movement...mostly because they are in competition with men for vaginas. That's why you get arguments like, "Women's heterosexuality is a societal construct forced on women by the patriarchy." vis-a-vis the demonization of guys with misleading and over inflated statistics about rape and domestic violence. Gay guys side with feminists. Then you get your typical pro-feminist guys like Kimmel, which is analogous to African-Americans sideing with segregationists. So really, he's not prepresentative of guy hood.

I hope that helps.

Why would anybody think she is funny? It's one thing to have racial material. It is another to base one's career on it. I don't care that she supported Obama. What? If you're Jewish it's okay to do it? I don't think so.

Like I'm the first person to call her a racist.

"Everybody blames the Jews for killing Christ, and then the Jews try to pass it off on the Romans. I'm one of the few people that believe it was the blacks."

"I don't care if you think I'm racist," Silverman says in her act. "I just want you to think I'm thin."

I have a suggestion. Why don't you type into google, '"sarah silverman" racist' and see if I just magically came up with the concept myself. I don't give a flock that you find her sympathetic...she is exactly what she presents herself to be.

A bigot.

that a person that bases her entire career on racist material not think she is a racist? Like novelists, people write themselves into their work. Comedians tell stories about themselves.

You like the pretty white girl, fine. She's a bigot. The company you keep and all.

There are plenty of people who use race in their material. The difference with Sarah Silverman, is that its not self-deprecating, nor does she expand her material to encompass "racial stereotypes." She concentrates on African-Americans with ugly stuff that she cannot wash clean from.

Much like the material in Southpark, that is often told form Kyle's vantage point. Kyle is the sane, smart, counter weight to Cartman, the white trash fat kid with the whore single mother. It would be one thing to if Kyle was occassionally debased as the punchline, but usually it's Cartman, Token, or Butters. Kyle is often victimized by anti-semites, and therefore, represents the noble martyer.

Do you believe that Sarah Silverman's material regarding Jesus or religion does not reflect a contempt for both? The reason you probably don't mind that material is because you agree with it. But, it would wreck your progressive self-identification if someone, i.e. Silverman, with whom you so easily identify turns out to be something you are supposed to abhore. So you come out with a, "She's just kidding" excuse for her stuff.

If a WASP comedian based his material primarily on Jewish stereotypes, no one would stand for it. On the other hand, Jerry Seinfeld can do it, because it is self deprecating. That's the way it works. Whether you like it or not.

"'Sarah Silverman and Ann Coulter share an obvious similarity: they each make a rather nice living saying things that would be unspeakable if they were not attractive Caucasian women, veiling their statements beneath a gossamer cloak of irony. I’m kind of tying my brain in knots trying to figure out whether they don’t actually share the exact same appeal for our culture.'"

At curlymelloncamp...shove it up your ass. At dale, I don't do the "answer my question" bit, because it is a trap used in debates to try to put the focus on the person you find offensive, instead of the argument. Trying to keep me writing, in hopes that I contradict myself. I've stated what I believe. My comment regarding her racism is NOT in the individual jokes themselves, which should be painfully honest since I have REPEATEDLY stated that she bases her career on lampooning African-Americans. And as the quote states above, just because you put a veneer of irony on your material does not hide the fact of what she does.
