Just watched the "CP" skit on the Talk. Nothing to fret about so move on. Out of context

snips and the bs spouted here is what makes this overblown. You have to watch the entire skit including the comments from the black actor on stage. The event was a kind of "roast" Poor timing for the skit though and we already know how the media reports half-truths and out of context. To make more out of this than it was is really grasping at straws.

HRC campaign just needs to be wiser and not even attempt comedy with race, religious, or gender tones.

Will you call the news media or should we? Can we just say "Jitter65" says it's no biggee or do we need to give your last name too?

... and I've said this before, that Bernie's supporters can see that little faux pas of a turd all the way down from the mountain of shit they're standing on. "Uninformed" "brain dead" "Stockholm Syndrome", etc etc etc, and that mountain just keeps getting higher and higher because, well, I guess they just can't help themselves.

Getting your laughs at someone else's expense isn't exactly how it's done these days, ESPECIALLY when you use a racial stereotype to get your yuks.

So a Catholic, Jew, and an Indian Chief go into a bar full of Colored People...

The better Bernie is known, the better everyone thinks of him.

Dump her, now. She has zero coattails, and over 51% of voters already say that they'll "never" vote for her. She incites Republicans to vote against her and she is one of the most corrupt politicians that we have.

She has a tin ear and her idea of "funny" and "campaigning" is to insult her own potential supporters.

She takes down everyone who's with her. She probably just cost DeBasio his re-election.

If you want to know why the Democratic Party has been losing support since Bill Clinton's first term, look no further.
