What jokes are okay for comedians to make about Obama?

[proud2BlibKansan]

White comedian asks black people if he's allowed to diss Obama.

1. Let's hope so.

Although the politically correct loons will likely call "RACIST"!

[scheming daemons]

2. Any and all jokes about Obama are okay....

The first amendment is more important than political correctness.


The marketplace will shout down those that are tasteless.... they'll get the Imus treatment.



But there should be no limits, no boundaries, as to what kinds of jokes people tell, as long as they aren't threats on Obama's life or well-being.



Unlike the Republicans.... let's actually preserve the Constitution, shall we?

3. None. We are in lockstep here.

Get back in line.

:smoke: Sorry. Bit tired of the BS witnessed here since CapHillForuhhhm decided we are now no longer too good for them.

4. Genuinely funny ones? (n/t)

[Common Sense Party]

5. Cool. I caught just the last few seconds of that skit when it aired.

Thanks for posting it.

6. his lips

his lips looked like he smoked a whole lotta bud back in the day. They're all dark and shit. LOL

And he cannot dance worth a DAMN! I love ya Barack, but you ain't got no rhythm man, LOL

7. Funny ones.

Since falling back on tired old stereotypes isn't funny I don't think those would be included.

8. Barack Obama is the new 9/11

You just can't make a joke about him without looking like an unpatriotic douchbag

10. Huh?

And could you please explain you sig gif to this old person?

[Undercurrent]

11. .

oops!

[MrSlayer]

9. It's all fair game. They just have to wait until he fucks up.

As long as the jokes are based on policy and not just cheap racial jabs, it's all good.

[Undercurrent]

12. .

The Constitution protects bad taste, and the right to make be an idiot as long as there are no threats -- veiled or otherwise -- it's protected speech. If I don't like a comedian's shtick I'll not watch/listen.

PS: Long live Lenny Bruce!

[FlaGranny]

13. Yeah, Lenny Bruce

I can't imagine how Lenny Bruce ever became known as a comedian. Not a funny man. Pathetic and hostile describe him best. He made me cringe.

[Undercurrent]

14. LOL

He was off putting to me too. But he's a good example to use while illustrating what is protected speech.

I remember listening to him on record albums, the old 33s that my brother in law had. I didn't think he was funny.

[happychatter]

15. First: Carlos Mencia is NOT a comedian... he may say NOTHING

second

everyone else gets first amendment and entertainment/editorial latitude

[Forkboy]

16. Which ones do you have?

:D

[Brazenly Liberal]

17. The same jokes it's okay to make about anyone else.

If a joke is racist, it's racist whether the subject is the President, the manager of a Wal Mart, an actor, a musician, a teacher, a homeless person......... you get my drift.

(can't watch videos because I'm on ultra-slow dialup, so I apologize if this answer makes no sense in connection with the vid you linked)
