M$M lamenting "personal" attacks on Sarah 3 Names...but

[jodymarie aimee]

is it NOT her person who gets up there every day and lies to America for Tubby and sneers at us...I say SMACK them all hard, comedienne !! Comedy is a great weapon against fascism..Only thing better is if Michelle had on a pussy hat.

[Trust Buster]

1. Except Wolfe was not actually funny. She never had the room. It was an epic fail.

[jodymarie aimee]

3. Mocking HORROR is a tricky business

I laughed....Epic fail is reserved for Trump, not a mocker.

[Trust Buster]

5. Epic fail applies to a comedian that lacks being clever and funny and, therefore, goes straight to

Raunchy sex and profanity to fill their talent void. See Andrew Dice Clay.

[wasupaloopa]

20. She is a big hit here and in many progressive households I am sure. She didn't fail because her

target audience is us.

[Trust Buster]

28. I disagree with your assessment.

[wasupaloopa]

29. no doubt

[HAB911]

31. She was funny as hell

and said what needed to be said

[Blue_Adept]

6. Those that perform at the WHCD almost never have the room

The whole experience is a roast/truth to power that's mean to make them feel uncomfortable. It's often a bit more subtle at times, but there has long been harsh takes across the media and government.

The performers aren't there to PLEASE the attendees.

[Trust Buster]

7. Or, she was a bad comedian that compensated with vulgarity and profanity. Andrew Dice Clay.

[Blue_Adept]

8. Maybe next year they'll designate the WHCD a Safe Space for the snowflakes there

[Trust Buster]

9. That won't make up for the lack of a comedic talent.

[Blue_Adept]

10. Comedy is in the eye of the beholder

I can't listen to music but I listen to a ton of stand up. Not everything is for everyone. It's that simple.

[dembotoz]

33. oh please her stuff was brilliant....all kinds of talent

earlier i saw a segment on how bad a room the dinner really is
too big
sound system does not deliver laughs from audience well
show while dinner is served
round tables bad for comedy

she did well

[Trust Buster]

35. Brilliant ? LOL

[dembotoz]

40. perhaps i better understand what is funny...lol

[Atman]

11. Yes, let's get Jimmy Fallon and a bunch of kittens.

Certainly wouldn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable!

[Trust Buster]

14. Yes, Jimmy would probably stay away from those "rip that sucker right out of there" abortion

Jokes.

[Atman]

18. Okay, that "joke" was a bit over the top

But that doesn’t mean everything else was. Someone like Fallon would be so safe and non-offensive there would be no point in watching. Do we really Mike Pence’s sense of humor to be the standard?

[dembotoz]

34. trust ya shoulda just turned the channel....

with the new remotes you don't even have to get off the couch...just click the button.

[shanny]

16. Do you recall the uncomfortable silence

at Stephen Colbert's WHCD performance? I do.

[eShirl]

12. Didn't they say the same about Stephen Colbert?

[dalton99a]

21. +1

[Trust Buster]

30. I wasn't comparing her to anyone else.

Speaking of abortion as ripping out babies and comparing the pussy hats at the women’s march to the length of her p**sy hair was just tasteless imo. Comparing some of her gross comments to Colbert is just absurd IMO.

[Squinch]

23. Steven Colbert never "had the room" either when he did the set at the WHCD that made him

a household name.

It's still a classic.

[Generic Brad]

24. She was not playing to the room

She was playing to us. Parts of her routine have gone viral. Plus, we are discussing the negative reception she received when she flat out told the truth. I say, job well executed.

[Trust Buster]

37. And, being part of "us", I think she was crass and vulgar.

[jrthin]

26. She was an epic success in my household. Someone needs to

lay out the truth to the MSM and the 1%. Epic fail and courseness for me are when food, shelter, and healthcare are taken from the poor to give tax cuts to the people in that room...all done in nice polite language.

[BannonsLiver]

42. Nah, she was pretty funny.

[AJT]

2. What would you expect? She insulted them.

This was a routine that would have been great on Comedy Central, but when the crude insults are aimed at the audience you're not going to get a lot of laughs. When the audience is the news media there will be payback by the media, in the media. If the you were the target of mean, foul mouthed jokes you would have a negative reaction too. She knew what the reaction would be, she was taking a stand, but it will be used against the left for a while. It is too bad that it will over shadow the crazy speech 45 gave in Michigan. The Sunday shows and news outlets will be focused on retribution for last nights dinner.

[jodymarie aimee]

4. Exactly

Media gotta be FAIR, right? Michelle is not ruining our great county, the other guy is.

[Vinca]

13. Sarah's much worse in her daily briefings.

If her little feelings were hurt she can go off to a hate rally with Dear Leader next time instead.

[Demsrule86]

15. I didn't like the show, and I have never like going after people for how they look.

I do make an exception for Trump as he goes after people for how they look and has it coming. It wasn't funny and it came across as mean...whether that was the intent or not.

[dembotoz]

36. sarah is a lying disgusting clown.....don't much car how her feeling are hurt

perhaps if she wasn't such a lying disgusting clown

she defends policies that hurt people i care about

[Demsrule86]

43. I get it. I don't like her either. It just made me feel uncomfortable.

[Oneironaut]

17. They're just mad that someone called them out for creating and supporting Trump.

[Kirk Lover]

19. Maybe Sarah should call Alicia Macado to have a talk. nt

[oswaldactedalone]

22. Glad she kicked those lying

Sacks of shit in the teeth. Haven’t seen the video but the jokes read very well. Keep kicking the bastards where it hurts.

[Phoenix61]

25. I thought it was great

And heard lots of laughter from the audience. Did all her jokes work? No, but unlike a regular standup routine that a comedian performs several times and gets to drop the jokes that bomb this is a one shot deal.

[TNLib]

27. I thought it was funny as hell

Just watched her full set. It was good comedy. I’d love to see her get a Netflix special. It was good stand up
and I’m pretty picky up stand up.

[a kennedy]

32. I'll give it another try........will watch a replay.

[dembotoz]

39. i laughed more at the replay

[Greybnk48]

38. I thought Wolf was hilarious.

She matched the coarseness and vulgarity of Trump and the Republican Party perfectly.

Their daily attacks on LGBTQ, minorities, Blacks, Muslims, Jews and women are much more coarse, vulgar and shocking than ANYTHING Michelle Wolf said last night.

I thought she was laugh out loud funny!

[oberliner]

41. A wise person once said: "when someone is cruel or acts like a bully you don't stoop to their level"

Maybe a good idea to take that advice.
