Saturday Night Live : Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
This is rank hypocrisy and stupidity. It is wrong to attack the CHILDREN of presidents. Period.
0bama said he didn't want his daughters to be attacked because of him, but then takes a $1 million donation from Bill Mahr who flat out insulted Sarah Palin's daughter.
Meryl Streep hated President Trump for the things he's said, but stood up and cheered for a pedophile rapist.
I agree about the hypocrisy - wee see it constantly from the left.
Rule #1 - liberal = hypocrite
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
That's absolutely disgusting, but I only barely remember it because I was only a kid during the 90s.
I think people like me expect that sort of crap from prototypical alt-right pigs like Limbaugh though. It's more upsetting for me when someone who defines themselves as a liberal attacks a 10-year-old child because it sends me into a state of cognitive dissonance where I wonder "is this type of discourse now acceptable amongst people on my side".
I don't want libs to become pushovers, but I also think we sometimes need to take the moral highground rather than stoop to the level of the deplorables.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
FYI, on SNL in Dec 1992 on Wayne's World, Mike Myers mocked 12 year old Chelsea Clinton by saying that "adolescence has been thus far unkind" to her.
As you can imagine, her parents weren't too happy, and all rebroadcasts were edited. Myers wrote them an apology letter, Lorne Michaels said she was a kid and didn't deserve it, and that was it.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Trying to be fair, I think this, like with lots of situations, one can find an example from whatever the other side is to you. For every insult of a liberal president's kid, you can find another one of a conservative president's kid. And you will find the other side goes ape s**t crazy over it when their person is being attacked, but mum when the other side is attacked, or they may even snicker. Both sides are gonna have their extremes who dish out the insults and push the envelope. The right should actually embrace it since they don't want everyone to be so PC and have no sense of humor and drama queens and sensitive to every little thing. The left should come out hard against this and attacks against the First Lady, bc they come across as hypocritical and having double standards to people who claim to be so tolerant and claim they abhor this behavior. They don't like it only when it's done to them but they can say it whenever they want. Either way, whenever this type of thing happens, both sides use it to their fullest to exploit it. For once, I would like a side to say "it's ok, just don't complain when we do it to you" lol.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Exactly, the left is meant to be against this kind of nastiness.
I wonder if the left were more outraged by the attack on 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton, as opposed to 10-year-old Barron Trump, because one was a girl and the child of 'liberals', and the other is a boy and the child of Trump, and therefore 'deserves everything he gets'.
But hey, that's identity politics for you. A white male is inherently evil before he's done anything.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
It's terriblechildren should be off-limits, period.
But, that being said, the attack on Chelsea was on-air, during the show.
Barron's was from one writer, from her personal account, unsanctioned by SNL.
Nobody was suspended or lost their jobs in the Chelsea situation.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Typical, liberal p&ssy way of excusing their hypocrisy.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
I'm not excusing itI'm just saying those are the facts, and not the "alternative" ones.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Then say there is no excuse at all for either one of them. Don't bring anything else in to try to lessen what one did.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Learn to read then, because I said that at the beginning of the post.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
It was wrong, and you're right, someone should have lost their job. But I'd have hoped we would have less tolerance for such nastiness these days

EXACTLY! That is the huge issue here. They are supposed to be kind, tolerant and accepting. Yet we see time and time again they aren't. They have no desire to accept anyone who doesn't fully believe what they believe.
If the left held themselves to the same set of standards they hold everyone else, then the country could heal and move on.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
We COULD all just try being nice to everyone,as crazy as that sounds.

Is nice the word you would use to describe Trump?
If not, perhaps it should start with him

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
At least he knows what the definition of "is" is.
Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
I can't make anyone act any certain way,I can only try to be my best. You should try it too. You shouldn't base your behavior on someone else's actions.

Attitude reflects leadership.

That does not make any sense.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
Actually, it does. President Trump has all types of attitude and is kicking azz all over the place. Think of how much of 0bama's sh!t he's fixed in just a week's time.
Now, compare that to 0bama's attitude of a "Reset Button", "JV" team, and if you've ever seen him ride a bike or throw a baseball.

Re: Rush Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton
You seem too astute not to get how "attitude reflects leadership."
It means the leader affects the attitude of the people he leads.
Perhaps if we didn't have a Tweeter-in-Chief, things might be more harmonious.

Rush can be mean, but that's not exactly what happened.

This is honestly NOT about left vs. right. This is rank hypocrisy and stupidity. It is wrong to attack the CHILDREN of presidents. Period. But we have free speech in America and you sometimes to tolerate that someone will got too far with highly offensive speech. PERIOD.
