Censorship. Plain & Simple. But why?

Here's my suggestion. If you hire a person to skewer the 'other guy', and you get a little 'skewer' on YOU, live with it!
.
A comedian impersonating President Obama made racially tinged jokes Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference before being pulled off the stage by an event organizer.

The Obama impersonator, Reggie Brown, said that while the First Lady celebrated all of Black History Month, the bi-racial president only celebrated half the month.

Brown also said: "My mother loved a black man, and she was not a Kardashian."

Brown didn’t just limit his jokes to Obama, though. He also mocked Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith, ridiculed Newt Gingrich’s faltering campaign and suggested Tim Pawlenty needed a spinal transplant.

As Brown was preparing to make a Michele Bachmann joke, one of the conference’s officials came out to the lectern and told the comedian to leave the stage.

.

At best, it's bad form, to invite a guy to make jokes, and fire him for making jokes. It, to me, seems less than adult to do this. I'll go so far as to say, it looks a lot like the kind of stuff the Democrats do. Speaking one way, acting another. What a crock of BS, this was, IMHO.

Didn't anyone check out this guys act BEFORE they hired him? C'mon? Are they that incompetent at the RNC? Oh, wait, they're the ones who put John McCain out there as the 'best' choice for POTUS last time. So it WAS incompetence!

I wouldn't expect much more from the RNC. Also, no black comics career would ever get off the ground without this kind of humor, or so they call it.

It's things like this, this very obvious lack of common sense on the part of the Repubs, that makes the 2012 elections a long shot for them, especially with the left and the MSM amplifying every little mistake they make.

But don't these idiots who show themselves to be idiots by these moves realize that anyone who COUNTS will read about online? Only the weak minded and ridiculous are getting their news anywhere BUT the internet.

I still think we have a chance. That small % of people we need to defeat the current mob, won't be getting their news or making decisions based on American MSM.
