Sandra Bernhard: Palin Would Be Gang-Raped By Blacks in Manhattan

The Washington Post isn’t the only daily D.C. newspaper to rave about Sandra Bernhard’s anti-Palin ranting. Wednesday’s Washington Examiner joined in, with the headline "Comedienne delivers enraged optimism." Barbara Mackay claimed "in the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhard’s message is positive."

That’s not the impression you’d get from the blog of Theater J, where Bernhard is appearing. It has video of Bernhard calling Palin "Uncle Women," a "turncoat b—h" and a "whore." One complaint on the blog that Bernhard crosses a line of political incorrectness draws a defense from Ari Roth of Theater J that really drops the curtain on how coarse this show is:

In fact, the play wears its politically VERY correct heart on its sleeve with its indictment of America as "A Man’s World, It’s a White Man’s World, It’s a F–ked Up White Man’s Racist World" and can only be suggested to be racist in its content if one is hell-bent on protecting White Folk for Sandra’s blistering indictment.When Sandra warns Sarah Palin not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandra’s big black brothers, she’s being provocative, combative, humorous, and yes, let’s allow, disgusting.

The fact that the show has a few riffs like this does not — to my mind — make it a "disgusting show." there’s too much beauty, variety, vitality, and intelligence to label the entire show as "disgusting." I’ll agree with you that we produced this show because we did find it to be edgy — because we wanted to give right wing conservative Jews a good run for their money by being on the receiving end of some blistering indictments from Sandra.Does it go over the edge sometimes? On the gang-rape joke, yes. Sure. Not much else. It goes over the edge and then comes right back to the cutting edge. [Profanity editing is mine.]

Forgive me if gang-rape jokes don't greet my ears as oddly and subtly positive, as the Examiner suggests, and forgive me if gang-rape jokes aren't "a rotating sprinkler that a spectator washes in most happily," like the Washington Post insists

Roth insisted to the complainer that the D.C. Jewish Community Center is loving their Bernhard show, and partied with Bernhard on opening night. They’re in tune with her right-bashing rage:

We’re proud of our producing -- proud of Sandra’s sense of timing -- taking the fight out to the house and to the street beyond, channeling so much of our rage and frustration at the bizarre recent twists of fortune since Karl Rove trotted out Sarah Palin for John McCain to briefly meet and then get in bed with.Sandra’s face is hanging 10 feet tall in a banner over the DCJCC steps and we’re proud that she’s a new emblem and ambassador for our theater and our center. She’s not the only one who represents us. But her large heart, her generous talent, and her big mouth are all a big part of who we are.

"Who we are" at this theater clearly isn't someone who's interesting in presenting anything other than rage. The video itself, presented like a commercial for the show, explains who the show is intended to please. The average person probably wouldn’t find it the least bit funny. But if you really, really hate Sarah Palin or Christian conservatives, this show is for you. Here’s some of what she says in the promo:

Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s--t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b---h! Don’t you f--kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b---h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally! You whore in your f--kin' cheap New Vision cheap-ass plastic glasses and your [sneering voice] hair up. A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls--t moment.

Is it too broad an interpretation to suggest that when Bernhard attacks Palin's "new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t," she means the New Testament? It sounds like she's telling the Christian to stay away from "her" Old Testament, as if Christians don't have an Old Testament in their Bible. It's quite clear that the D.C. Jewish Community Center is not attempting an interfaith dialogue with this rantfest.

Rant

Is there anyone who supports Obama who could read this and think to themselves :"Wow, this only means good things down the road!" ?   I suggest the "she's a Rove plant" defense.  Her and her pal Madonna.

sicko

This says more about her 'brothers' in Manhattan than is does about Gov. Palin.

Berntard is derainged, her hatred of all things consevative ( and possibly good) has blackened her soul. I see no redeaming quilities in someone who would wish violent sexual violation on anyone.

Hide the scissors she may hurt herself.

This says more about her

This says more about her 'brothers' in Manhattan than is does about Gov. Palin.

Actually, I think this says more about Bernhard and what, exactly, she thinks of blacks, i.e., they are violent criminals. Must be her circle of friends.

"Comedy" :  The genre 

"Comedy" :  The genre  that gives liberals the artistic license to say vicious things about conservatives that, if reversed, would be called "hate speech."

Sandra Bernhard is not, and never has been, funny. But then again, liberal humor never is.

When Don Rickles made fun of everyone, everyone knew he was a good guy underneath, so they laughed with him.

These liberal comedians today do nothing more than spew schoolyard taunts and ridicule at others.

ARTISTIC LICENCE...

mb,

1st things 1st, I lve Don Rickles, he is still 1 of the funniest people I have ever seen, on TV anyway.

As for Sandy Bernhard, she is a liberal trapped by classic racial & gender stereotypes.  Bernhard seems to think that black guys are into gang rape, I would think the NAACP would be axing her for an explanation. They should be, but I won't hold my breath.

I believe we have been given a look into Sandra Bernhard's true views & beliefs. She seems to hate herself for being a white chick, & has a thing about gang rape with a racial component. Quit while you are behind Sandy , YOU ARE PROJECTING. Now go away.

Speaking of racist

Good grief this woman insults every Blackman, and will probably recieve praise for it. Maybe she is jealous, Sahra has a great family a good man and all she has is her hate. Never could understand what Dave saw in her, she has always been gross. 

 

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

Bernhard?

Insulting conservatives is a time-honored method for failing stars to rejuvenate their careers. Nothing could be more definitive of the values of left-wing culture in America. They are mean-spirited, small-minded losers.

Sandra Bernhard is no-talent never-was hack who became famous for a few appearances on Letterman in the 80s. She keeps her name in the news by doing outrageous things every so often because "the talent thing" never worked for her.

Ignore her and she'll go away--it is our outrage that keeps her alive.

Geez!! I didn't know

Sarah was still alive. I thought she fell into a black hole of irrelevancy 25 years ago. I guess it took her all that time to figure out that she could resurrect herself by bashing conservatives...that's always a career booster! I guess being a dopey lesbian pig has lost it's glamour...since being gay is no longer "edgy".

Sandra Berhardt is yet another atheist low-life

She doesn't practice her supposed religion, she uses it to get into places that otherwise would shun her. The only thing "jewish" about her is her poor humiliated parents. As far as her embracing the Tanak, she's probably a modern day YezahBa'al.

But more to the point, she is laughed at as much or more then she is laughed with. As far as clout and authority, she has none. Whatever she says has to be vile and disgusting just to get any notice at all, because otherwise she is completely irrelevant.

 

You want change? Give me a dollar.

Hmmm...what about Black Men Raping White Women?

Never minding Bernhard's comments that if made by a conservative the Axis Media (comprising the old and new liberal establishment of Print, Television and Internet) would of course found this racist and enter Spike Lee.

But what provokes such thoughts in Bernhard? Even the absurd oft is born in some element of reality. What about BLACK MEN RAPING WHITE WOMEN?

What are the statistics of:

Of All White Women Raped, What Percent Are Raped By Blacks?

Of All Black Women Raped, What Percent Are Raped By Whites?

Maybe it is an unpleasant question but one must be bold enough to discover where Bernhard derived such a concept.

The answer to terrorism IS war. Next Please!

The "Borking" of Palin

Aside from the obvious viciousness and offensiveness of what's her name's remarks the "Borking" of Palin continues unabated. Palin really struck a nerve in the dim camp. The drooling hyperbolic hysterical frenzy of spewed filth and hatred towards Palin has reached a fever pitch. Haven't seen such lefty fireworks since the nomination hearings of Clarence Thomas. You can tell when the dims are scared because the spew meter is off the charts.

What a foul mouthed female

What a foul mouthed female cretin, trying desperately to get attention.

Sandra B. is NOT the kind of woman that feminists want representing them. Oooops, my mistake, I think she is the perfect example.

Don't worry Gov. Palin you are miles ahead of this woman in class, intelligence, integrity, and morality, so Sandra should be a ZERO threat to you.

At the D.C. Jewish Community center even more when Isreal is whiped off map   Woaaa good one, barry nice talking ya did there. Fortunatly, that's just a visit from barry future, When Sen Glenn and Gov Palin Win, The Isreal , Iran problem will already be taken care of, Mark my words, Isreal is gonna act before election to take out Nuke sites on the of chance barry actually wins,.

So, the Left is now pro-rape?

So, am I to take it that the Left (including the Democratic Party) is now pro-rape?

I guess it's a good thing that Palin is pro-gun.

rape issue

Don't forget the media just attacked Gov Palin a few days ago for having a weak stand against rape problems in Alaska. A statement like this even if condemned could bring that issue more publicity.

The marquee outside Theater

The marquee outside Theater J must read something like... "Come see BANGIN' DAMN UGLY on display!" ...ask about senior and gang rapist discounts.

You know what they say ...

You can't rape a 38.

A Mirror Image

Look into her face, Democrats, and there you will see yourselves. Sandra Bernhard is a portrait of the modern American liberal.

Are you proud?

Sandra who?

Sandra who?

"in the end, oddly and subtly, Bernhard’s message is positive."

Excuse me?  Never before could I imagine that gang rape could be spun as a "positive" message.  If anyone on the right dared utter such a thing, there'd be demonstrations demanding a "hate crime" procecution.

Thank you, and keep it up Sandra and friends in the media. It's stuff like this that's causing the likelyhood of an Obama administration to evaporate more daily.

Its amazing...

that this waste of human debris has anything even resembling a career. She's never really been funny, although she claims to be a comedian, singer and actress.

Bernhard is number 97 on Comedy Centra'ls list of the 100 greatest standups of all time. She is number six on Maxim's 12 worst stand-ups of all time.

Why not use some of that unattractiveness to make you funny? LOL

I kept waiting for the

I kept waiting for the jokes. Didn't the the guy promise "humorous"? Where was the "sense of timing" this guy bragged about?

"Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s--t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b---h! Don’t you f--kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls--t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b---h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally!

"Uncle Women"?

This is 'generous talent'?

"Jumps on the s--t"?

Is this the "beauty, variety, vitality, and intelligence"?

Hardly, though, Roth did say something about "her big mouth". On this, I think we can all agree. Ripping the New Testement and calling the GOP's veep candidate "b---h" and "w--re" repeatedly must be the part that makes Roth "proud that she’s a new emblem and ambassador for our theater and our center."

I've known lots of comics who went the excessive cussing route. Sandra came up after Eddie Murphy's Raw days...in the same timeframe as Sam Kinison and Andrew Dice Clay, both with acts littered with gutter language. But, in their day, at least there were jokes (or attempts at jokes at times in Dice's case).

Berhard's entire schtick here seems to be, "I hope someone's taping this outburst of dirty language and incoherent namecalling. Please, let Hannity or Limbaugh hear my act and make me relevent by attacking me. Maybe Larry or Keith will invite me on their shows, again, to offer my views as an accomplished Jewish woman."

And this is an endorsement of a black man for President?

Sandra Bernhard thinks that painting all black men as psychotic gang rapists is a good endorsement for the Harvard-educated Obama? What kind of idiot is she? This is a stereotype straight out of the Post-Reconstruction KKK playbook. And these are supposedly Jews who have no problem with that? Remember when Jews got killed in "Mississippi Burning" helping Blacks register to vote? Now a Jewish organization wants Black men portrayed as psychotic scum. What the hell happened? As Jews they should be ashamed. Not to mention as fellow human beings and Americans.

Talk about disgusting, and how any human being can want that to happen to another, not to mention woman on woman, it's disgusting. I mean seriously, what the hell? How can anyone wish that on someone just for being in the other party and even pretend to be worth listening to?


Didn't Bernhard have a gig working on some TV cop show as a police officer? How anyone could hire her for such a job now honestly begs analysis of their conscience.

 

If anything the myth of liberals being pro woman is now well and truly dead, as if their turning their backs on Bill and Hillary Clinton's treatment of the women he used and threw away (and were then destroyed by Hillary acting as clean up crew) left any doubts at all. I'm waiting for the Obama camp to denouce this like McCain denounced some of the people who said insensitive stuff about Obama.

Bernhard should do humanity a favor and shut her oyster cracker mouth. Her BB sized brain just makes her and whatever cause she says she is for look like an obscenity.

Sad Butch Bitch

She would love to be gang raped by anything. Her self loathing is on display for any fool willing to pay a nickle to see her act. Who's pointing fingers here? Seems like if you don't agree with these folks/kooks/inbreds you are the problem. Too mean for me. Sad.

Never heard of her

Does anyone really care what this potty-mouth skank has to say about anything? And, does anyone living outside of New York even know who she is?

Sad State of Affairs

I believe she is what is known as a reprobate in every sense of the word. Her hatred and vile personality will only destroy herself, those who align with her, and appears to have already begun. This and all the other garbage coming from the left; politicians, the media, Hollywood, the leftest bloggers are spinning out of control. Like the mythical bird, The Zatiefrat, that flies in an ever decreasing circle, screeching obsenities, it continues to fly until it flies up it's own rear end and disappears completely.

Sandra Bernhard is a white supremacist.

Sandra Bernhard is a walking hate crime. She views Judaism as her ethnicity instead of her religion. Any converts to Judaism, especially black converts, would not be "real" Jews to Sandra Bernhard. This is despite that fact that Bernhard herself is the descendant of non-Semetic Eastern Europeans converts. Bernhard is an extremely hardcore white supremacist.
