Twenty-sixteen is a presidential election year. So it shouldn't surprise that the political brass knuckles are coming out.
The dangerous, iron hand of left wing intolerance recently rolled out it's political brass knuckles in a threat to stifle liberty and free speech when current presidential candidate Hillary Clinton went after some Hollywood comics who poked fun at her in a video.
We say Hilary went after them even though it was reportedly a high ranking Hillary campaign official because we don't think she'd get away with another Bengazi-I-Didn't-Have-Any-Knowledge-Of-It defense.
Here is the full story from.zerohedge.com.
The one upside of Hillary Clinton becoming President, is that her endless stream of stupidity will result in more content for this writer than I could ever imagine.
Hot off her recent debate performance in which she claimed that the reason she is owned by Wall Street is because of 9/11, her aides are now demanding a Hollywood comedy club take down a video of comedians mocking her.
Just in case you have any doubt about what a Hillary presidency would look like, we learn from Judicial Watch:
In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood comedy club.
A video of the short performance, which is less than three minutes, is posted on the website of the renowned club, Laugh Factory, and the Clinton campaign has tried to censor it. Besides demanding that the video be taken down, the Clinton campaign has demanded the personal contact information of the performers that appear in the recording. This is no laughing matter for club owner Jamie Masada, a comedy guru who opened Laugh Factory more than three decades ago and has been instrumental in launching the careers of many famous comics. “They threatened me,” Masada told Judicial Watch. “I have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.”
Masada told Judicial Watch that, as soon as the video got posted on the Laugh Factory website, he received a phone call from a “prominent” person inside Clinton’s campaign. “He said the video was disgusting and asked who put me up to this,” Masada said. The Clinton staffer, who Masada did not want to identify, also demanded to know the names and phone numbers of the comedians that appear in the video. Masada refused and hung up. He insists that the comedy stage is a sanctuary for freedom of speech no matter who is offended. “Just last night we had (Emmy-award winner) Dana Carvey doing Donald Trump and it was hilarious,” Masada said.
The last time we checked, the video was still up and running. Profiles in Courage was a Pulitzer Prize winning book attributed to the late President John F. Kennedy, though in truth much of it was ghost written by one his close high ranking colleagues. It was a book mostly about historical brave political people and their role in the founding and development of this nation.
It's refreshing to know there are other courageous profiles of ordinary Americans out there today who refuse to concede their liberty or freedom of speech, others who refuse to be intimidated.
Someone out there knows the name of that high ranking campaign person. Do yourself, your country and the American people a service. Publish it.
Maybe there's some more decent material there for those Hollywood comics?
