I Listen To All The Self-Rightous Talk About How Bad Rev. Wrights Words Are......

yet - last night while I was flipping my cable TV channels I came across a black comic that was making racial, political, anti-american, religious, gender, gay jokes - using the "N" word as if it was going out of style - and the audience was filled with people - both black and white - laughing and applauding this guy - just having a grand old time.

They paid to go hear this guy in person and we pay for our cable TV that put these people on for our entertainment. This happened to be a black entertainer - but I'm sure there are white, yellow, brown, jewish, etc entertainers out there that are just as nasty and politically incorrect. We laugh at what these people say. We take their insults as being funny.

Yet a lot of people - both black and white - jump on this sort of stuff as it applies to a presidential candidate. They pretend that they are shocked by what they heard a Geraldine Farraro or Rev. Wright say.

Yet in a different context - they sit there and laugh at this sort of stuff.

To me - George W. Bush the other day singing a song and laughing about the crimes his administration is far worse than anything a Rev. Wright or Farraro could say. Why do we let Bush get away with that - yet jump on Wright or Farraro - Barack or Hillary?

Why is this sort of thing right sometimes and not others. Why are the American people so hypocritical? What am I missing here?

After listening and being moved by Barack Obama's speech yesterday and then seeing this on cable TV - it was quite a 180 degree swing.
