What part of "She's a flipping comedian" did you have a problem with?

Update...

Once again (thankfully, because they are few and far between), anyone has the right to free speech, but that doesn't force others to give you a platform for it...

Sandra Bernhard Loses Gig After Attacking Palin on Abortion, Rape Comments

Quote:
Comedian Sandra Bernhard has lost her slot as a keynote speaker for a women's shelter in Massachusetts after attacking vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on abortion. In a monologue criticizing the Alaska governor, Bernhard made crude comments about rape that cost her the gig.

The comments came in a one-woman stand up show Bernhard did last month in Washington, D.C.. During the event, Bernhard said Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" and the comments came in a diatribe against Palin's pro-life views.

Bernhard was supposed to be a featured speaker at the October 16 event "Funny Women ... Serious Business" put on by the Boston-based Rosie's Place, a domestic violence shelter for women.

Public relations director Leemarie Mosca told AP about the cancellation and said the comments were offensive to many of the victims the shelter helps as well as its staff and volunteers.

"In light of our mission, we don't think violence against women is a laughing matter," she said.
I don't think violence against women is a laughing matter either...

Some here do...

That is not the right audience for her kind of humor. And it would be offensive to a group of women some of whom may have been molested or abused.
I wouldn't tell a joke to a bunch of truck drivers that I might tell at a National Nurses Convention. Know your audience. That is the number one rule in public speaking.
I was her audience when I viewed the video, and I thought she was funny. I still do.
