have you ever asked someone who is telling a story if it is a joke.........?????

and you are making assumptions about his beliefs.....how do you know he hates these groups....?????...have you heard of artist privilege....????

Bill is a comedian who gets paid to say over the top, outlandish, sometimes offensive things about groups of people.....unlike Rush who gets paid to say offensive rude remarks about individuals.... and is paying dearly for his bully pulpit, literally.....
