What’s a liberal comic to do when it becomes harder every day to defend President Barack Obama?

Why, play the race card – even when it’s not even in the deck.

Comedienne Wanda Sykes, who refused to lay a humorous glove on Obama during her short-lived talk show, is now slamming Gov. Rick Perry for something he hasn’t done.

Sykes appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” last night and tore into the GOP presidential field. Why bother speak truth to actual power – the president – when you can taunt your ideological foes?

But even by liberal standards Sykes’ shtick was out of line regarding Perry, who withdrew from the presidential field this week.

You know, he had to drop out,” she added, “because I’m pretty sure he was one more debate away from saying the N-word. He really was. Oh, he was right on the edge. He was like ‘Oh, I can’t speak in public anymore like that. One more debate, I’m just, it’s gonna fly out.’ He knew it.

Look out, Janeane Garofalo, someone’s gunning for your crown as the goofiest liberal celebrity.

Comedian Sarah Silverman didn’t start out as a politically charged stand-up. But lately she seems eager to shift her shtick from the pretty girl who talks dirty to the comedian eager to carry water for the erroneous Left.

Silverman recently appeared on MSNBC’s ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ to promote ‘Live from [N-Word]head,’ a comedy show meant to mock Texas Gov. Rick Perry for his scandalous ranch connection. Too bad nobody told Silverman the charge has already been debunked and is simply part of the mainstream media’s attempt to discredit yet another Republican.

Here’s Silverman pontificating on the importance of keeping the racist meme alive:

Consider Michael Moore the latest celebrity to see the sour side of Hope and Change.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker won’t be voting for Rick Perry, Mitt Romney or Herman Cain next year, but he’ll pull the lever for President Barack Obama with a heavy heart. And no, that’s not a fat joke.

Moore described Obama’s first three years in office to the BBC as “heart-breaking” and a “disappointment.”

“He did not come into office like I hoped that he would, to do what Franklin Roosevelt did in his first few months where he came in and said, you know, ‘I’m in charge, this is the way we’re doing things, if you don’t like it, throw me out of office,’” Moore said.

Moore said Obama spent the past three years “running the ball in the wrong direction” before making somewhat of a turnaround with a jobs bill and other economic plans.

This is how it always works…

Obama’s Palace Guards at the race-baiting Washington Post create a phony racial narrative against Texas Governor Rick Perry. The truth comes out that proves just the opposite is true; that, in fact, Perry’s family merely leased a small potion of the land and were the ones responsible for painting over the offensive rock. But the MSM makes sure that information gets nowhere near the attention the original smear does. And so the false allegation lingers and now it’s time for liberal Hollywood to step in and cement the smear into popular culture:

Rick Perry isn’t going to live this one down for a long time: Sarah Silverman and several of her comedian cohorts are planning a live stand-up special — “Live From N—–head: Stripping The Paint Off Of Good Ol’ Fashioned Racism” — to raise funds for the NAACP.

The show, scheduled for Nov. 1 at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas [...]

The title of the show refers, of course, to the family hunting camp owned by Texas governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry. The name of the camp — which was painted on a rock at the entrance for many years — sparked a media storm for Perry earlier this month, but Silverman thinks the furor died down too quickly.

Did you know that Texas Governor Rick Perry and President George W. Bush are just like the fictional, prehistoric, sword-wielding, mass murderer, Conan the Barbarian? Well, Time Magazine entertainment reporter Richard Corliss is here to inform you all about it in his review of the new action movie released this week based on the Robert E. Howard character. What is it with these people that they have to bring their hatred for Republicans into their reviews about films that have nothing whatever to do with politics?

It is clear that Corliss is not a fan of this flick, for sure. And he mixes metaphors and abuses sayings to beat the band to show his disdain. But it is his second, non-sequitur-filled paragraph that goes for Perry’s and W’s throats. Corliss features this attack prominently in the second paragraph of the review so that no one will miss it.

Portrait of George W. Bush?

Corliss describes how at the beginning of the movie a young Conan watches his entire family slaughtered in front of him. To Corliss, this seems somehow “kind of like” the way Saddam Hussein plotted to kill George W. Bush’s father, H.W. Bush.

As a boy (played by Leo Howard), he watches in horror while the ruthless warlord Khalar Zym (Stephen Lang) humiliates and murders Conan’s father (Ron Perlman); it’s kind of like Saddam Hussein’s plot to assassinate George H.W. Bush, which supposedly led son W. to invade Iraq and chase down Saddam. Conan, though, grows up to be less like 43, the smiling tiger, and more like current Texas governor Rick Perry, with a compulsive appetite for red-meat rivalries. This barbarian has compiled an endless list of enemies and vows, as Perry did with Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, to make life pretty ugly for all of them.

Uh, sorry, Richie, it is not “kind of like” anything of the kind. In fact, it is just a left-wing trope that W. Bush invaded Iraq because he was trying to get even with Saddam for plotting to kill his daddy. There is no evidence at all of this nonsensical claim. W. laid out his reasons for going into Iraq pretty clearly through his discussions with the U.N. and the presentation that he had Secretary Colin Powell give. Revenge was nowhere in the mix. (more…)

Now it’s the swine flu.  People are running in the streets, scared, screaming, in total panic.  Oh, no, wait – sorry, that was downtown New York City the other day when the President’s Air Force One 747 buzzed Manhattan and set off a wave of urban terror amongst city-dwellers; who well remember the true calamity of that September morning seven-and-a-half years ago.  But it was a beautiful day for a $328 thousand dollar photo-op for the President’s website.  So New Yorkers should understand and be tolerant; even though the citizens on the ground weren’t alerted in advance of the stunt, not even Mayor Bloomberg. 

Hey, stuff happens.  Yes we can.

No, it’s the Swine Flu which is the new crisis-in-the-making and it’s quickly becoming the Crisis du Jour.  Texas Governor Rick Perry declared ‘a Disaster’ in his state after a two-yr-old boy tragically died after returning from Mexico.  Seems a bit of an overreaction, but maybe not.  It’s shaping up to be a pandemic of epic proportions, for as of this writing, ninety-one cases of Swine Flu have already been diagnosed in this country.  Ninety-one.  At this rate, in a week, there may be, literally, several hundred outbreaks reported. 

In a nation of 300 million. (more…)
