Leftist sensitivity on display

I think we can assume with some safety that the three individuals (I hesitate to call them men) mentioned below are on the Left. Most of the entertainment industy is:
"A writer for the US animated comedy program Family Guy has apologised after making a joke linking Japan's massive earthquake-tsunami disaster to the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbour.

In a message on Twitter about Friday's earthquake, scriptwriter Alec Sulkin wrote: "If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google 'Pearl Harbor death toll."'

The reference to imperial Japan's sneak attack on US forces in Hawaii, which killed about 2500 people, set off a storm of criticism over the internet.

Sulkin apologised and deleted the message, explaining that he wrote it when he believed the death toll was lower.

Rapper 50 Cent has sparked outrage after mocking the Japanese earthquake victims. As the death toll continues to climb from the devastating 9.0 earthquake the singer took to his Twitter account to comment on the catastrophe. 'Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoes from LA, Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol,' he Tweeted.

He added shortly afterwards, 'Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let’s pray for anyone who has lost someone.'

The rapper later admitted that he Tweets for shock value, saying: 'Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or love it. I’m cool either way 50cent.”

He sent out his remarks on the social networking site as millions on the west coast of America were put on a tsunami alert following the disaster in Japan. 'Wave will hit 8am them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing.' he tweeted.

American comedian Gilbert Gottfried also made vile jokes about the devastating disaster.

'I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, "They'll be another one floating by any minute now," Gottfried, 56, tweeted on Saturday.

He added: 'What does every Japanese person have in their apartment? Flood lights.'

Gottfried has now been fired from insurance company Aflac as the voice of the duck in the ad campaigns. 'Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac,' a spokesman for the firm told TMZ.

All three are proof of how unwise censorship is. By letting them say what they want, we get to see the shallowness and ugliness of their character.

The Leftists feel that, having been morally superior all their lives, they can now "joke" with good humor about those who are down on their luck - in the most racist and sexist of ways. But, given the evidence of the rest of their lives, everyone knows they're "kidding," and they don't really mean what they say.

This is one of the major benefits of free speech that people never talk about. When people are free to say what they will, it gives them more opportunity to show how much of a jackass they are. It makes it so much easier recognize and avoid the douchery around us.

Not at all surprising when you remember one of the fundamental principles of the Left,

"Do as i say, not as i do..."

Gottfried had some of the funniest lines. I have four of them, but if anyone has any of the rest (there are 12 in total), please post them here.

They are some of the most hilarious thing ever.

From Dan Turner, Press Secretary for Haley Barbour:

"Otis Redding posthumously received a gold record for his single, (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay. (Not a big hit in Japan right now.)"

I wonder how many jokes they'll be making as they drown in the next tsunami. Looks like one is due States-side of the Pacific plate anytime soon as the "big one" quakes, not to mention the magma dome under Yellowstone, etc., etc.

You mean we might lose Mexifornia? Hey, i call that a major win for America!

Well an eruption of the magma dome under Yellowstone will affect the entire US catastrophically, and is probably only a matter of time.
