I bet that rule wasn't applied from 2000-2008
Had any speaker said anything slanderous about anyone black during the Bush administration at one of these functions, they would have been ousted in a minute.

Terrorists vs. someone who has their own opinion. Both should die, right? Thanks for that clarification.

The GOP has turned into a party of nothing but crybabies. They whine about everything lately.

Well, an attack on gays is like an attack on me personally because its an innate characteristic. It's natural to have a strong reaction to things like that.

Anyway, I don't think I get that dramatic over the gay stuff, and if I do, well, what do you expect from a gay guy? Seriously, our brains are wired to make us more emotional and sensitive, so that's my excuse. I can't get over it, but you'll have to deal with it.

She is a pretty standard liberal.
Actually she is a black, lesbian comedian and HER of all people making fun of your HOLY Limbaugh is MORE then you all can handle.

Pass the tissues to the right before they drown in their crying.

I'm a lot more concerned about the stuff from right-wing radio than I am from a comedian who was obviously doing a comedy routine. Geez.

Here's an example of what incites people to violence. It's not comedy:


YouTube - BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | Rage on the Radio | PBS

Saying something about a black person and making a racist comment are two very different things. Wanda said things about the black male President, the white male Vice President, the white female Sec. of State, the black female First lady, a white female moron governer and overweight drug addicted comedian.

I think she was fair

How about your parties Mayday Rallies, Abortion Rallies, Impeach Bush Rallies, End the War Rallies. That is pretty "cry baby"ish to me.
