Not quite. Syke's joke was relevant to what Limbaugh had said earlier - which had disgusted the country.

So for an analogy, you need to come up with something that refers to something President Obama did or said.

Get it now?

What does "uppity" have to do with the other names you mentioned? Wanda Sykes is not a political figure...

I pointed out the use of the word "uppity" by the OP and their motives for doing so, which had nothing to do with GWB.

The name-calling isn't the problem. It's the fact that the particular word the OP used - "uppity" - means only one thing in this context - that Syke's was speaking above her social status.

I guess its okay for the president to laugh about the thought of a citizen dying, but no one could laugh about a joke towards him in the same manner?

I thought you liberals hate hypocrisy.....
Uh, no..the President smiled at that joke as he did every joke she said. He was being polite..Should he have ripped the mic from her in defense of a joke about another comedian?...You guys are pathetic..

I don't believe Obama's trying to destroy anything.....except maybe the legacy of 8 years of Republican neglect of America..........

So exactly who is deflecting what?

Not that i used the word for that specific reason, however, I think YOUR definition certainly applies. Why the hell she was there anyways seems a bit incongrous.

lol... Oh man. Your true colors come out! Hey - at least we now know how you really feel.

Hey - think of Michelle Obama - and then tell us what she "really is" in your mind.

Then, give us your uncensored opinion of Barney Frank.

Don't hold back on anything! The entertainment value is awesome!
