November 28, 201213 yr I am still struggling to see how this falls into the category of making fun of a religion. If anything he's making fun of black folk for the pedestal they're placing the POTUS upon. I think some of are offended because we already had Ronald Reagan there.

November 28, 201213 yr I think some of are offended because we already had Ronald Reagan there. An instant classic BGP post.
November 28, 201213 yr After 2+ pages, I'll admit that I'm lost. Which people have something the hell wrong with them?
November 28, 201213 yr Or don't say things on a show that everyone has a right to watch that would be that offensive' date=' that seems pretty simple too.[/quote'] They have the right to watch, but they can also easily not watch if it offends them. I have the right to carry a concealed weapon, but I don't feel the need to so I don't. I have the right to listen to Matt Jones, but he is an idiot so I don't. I have the right to watch Bill O'Reilly, but he gets on my nerves so I don't.
November 28, 201213 yr You have that right' date=' might be nice if you would at least afford them their right to find something offensive.[/quote'] They can find it offensive.

I think it would have been better to keep jokes like that tailored to a stand-up show of his own rather than an awards show where anyone can tune in not expecting to hear what they very well may consider blasphemy.
