Well, CBS Morning News reported on it. Seems it’s not as fringe as you may think. No smiles at his jokes, just faux outrage.

You will see liberals burning books and breaking glass before long. Don’t doubt it.

Had a similar conversation with my oldest son over the holidays. His time at college as a white male has lead to him shifting from liberal democrat to libertarian.

The far left SJW's are every bit as bad as the bible thumpers on the far right. A bunch of humorless zealots that hang around their own kind until they reach a critical mass of stupid in isolated echo chambers.

Didn’t you guys get all in an uproar over Kathy Griffin holding that I-1 head as a joke?

Seems you all get a little snowflakey, too. The high road is closed to you on this issue.

I’m torn on this one. I think Louis CK is one of the funniest comedians out there, but what he did was just super creepy. He never touched anyone, but why on earth would he want to whip it out and masterbate in front of people? It’s just weird as hell and not acceptable. He shouldn’t be headlining anything now.

Both cut from the same cloth.

If you think those are the same thing then I'd have to point out that one of those two comedians had a long conversation with the Secret Service for their "joke".

Kinda like Tom Green humping a dead moose in a comedy bit would not mitigate the deserved outrage over a comedian doing a sketch about killing Michelle O and defiling her corpse. Not remotely equivalent.

You’re right. They are not the same.

I assumed this was about his joke about the Parkland students. The Parkland joke is just as inappropriate as Griffin’s I-1 joke. People justifiably flipped out about both.

Well lets hear from some of them then. Normal liberals are awfully silent when SJW progressives take over and attempt to speak for the entire left. In fact you will be called out as right wing or at least out of touch if you criticize anything they say or even if you don't agree with them completely on every topic.

I’m sure that comparison works on whatever planet you’re from.

Agree that I don't like it.

But other than voting with our own wallet with regards to attendance, I see no valid reason to state that his headlining should be at an end. Those were the same kinds of comments I heard growing up in a church community about gay performers that "shouldn't be influencing children etc." with their movies, songs etc.

I think that dictating morality linked to employment should stop at the end of each persons own nose.
