Irony is running rampant these days. Turns out unfunny comedienne Wanda Sykes, who insulted Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, appeared in a recent “public service” commercial where she lectures teenage boys about how they shouldn’t use insulting language. She tells them to “Knock it off.”
After her humorless appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, maybe the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network should find itself a new role model who’s not so, well, insulting.
Just sayin’.

"You are missing the point. There is a major difference between perfectly legitimate mocking of an anti American extremist like Rush Limbuagh for his actions and insulting an entire class of people based on prejudice."
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

when libs get caught in hyprocracy they always make invalid comparisons. such as free speech is only ok if tis politically correct -- see Carrie Prejean or Imus
It's ok to bash conservatives on talk radio, but Jon Stewart is a-ok.
The president can be forgiven for mocking people with disabilities but if a conservative had done the same thing they would be hung from the yard arms.
Hey - why can't we go to the golden rule"?- do unto others as you would have them do unto you -- oh wait, that's too religious.. can't have any talk of that religious morality.
So I'll go back to secular straight talk -- stop whining and crying -- it's so gay.
You are missing the point. There is a major difference between perfectly legitimate mocking of an anti American extremist like Rush Limbuagh for his actions and insulting an entire class of people based on prejudice. When rightists get upset, they always make invalid comparisons.
Are you kidding me libhomo? Stop getting your feelings hurt over comments like "that is so gay" toughen up. We all get negative comments all the time, so toughen up. Is this your way, like many typical people, to justify Wanda Sykes poor comments and ridiculing people in many of her comedy routines but play the "holier than thou" card for her own causes. She is extremely hypocritical, open your eyes...you seem to be blind to people who you agree with doing anything wrong. It must be ok for Wand Sykes to ridicule, but if someone you do not like or agree with ridicules, it is a reason to reprimand. Are you liberals the moral police...as long as it goes your way, its good?
James and ocmadam are right. Nice posts!!!!
Although Limbaugh might be an extremist, he is not anti American...however, what justification do you have for being an extremist in your beliefs. Is it ok for you to be one and not others? Only be an extremist if we believe in what you believe..CRAZY!!
Is it wrong to be an extremist? Sitting on the fence with beliefs and issues usually is not a good thing, so why not be an extremist. It must be ok for you to be an extremist but not anyone that goes against your beliefs. RIDICULOUS!
Kinda like leftist commparing gayrights to civilrights?
I like that Rush is just ignoring her. Maybe the rest of us will too.
For the record, I teach rude little 8th grade boys who are trying to woo little girls. The little ladies seem to like the edgy talk and let the little guys know when they have gone too far. My guess is they, the boys, don't watch a lot of lesbian network anyway.
She's SO GAY!
