Where's the group photo of right-wing blow-hards from "talk radio" and Faux News?
Conservatives attack popular culture because they contribute so little to it, they have no Oprah or Bruce Springsteen. What's gonna happen when Clint Eastwood croaks, they got nothing.
What this tells me is conservatives have no sense of humor... If there was demand for conservative comedy it would be met by the entertainment market.
Whatever happened to Andrew Dice Clay anyway? We've had generations and generations of angry white guy humor. Didn't we have a whole "Married with Children" show for several years? And before that, "All in the Family" ran through the entirety of the seventies.
The entire history of comedy has been dominated by angry racist misogynist xenophobic white guys like Don Rickles. It's been done to death. It's not funny anymore.
All in the Family was created by Norman Lear, a well known supporter of liberal causes. The Archie Bunker character was always made fun of. Maybe you didn't watch the show?
I always liked Don Rickles. He was a life long democrat until supporting Donald Trump when he was 88. Not a good excuse, but ... I never felt he was angry racist misogynistic and xenophobic. He was nothing like that in his personal life. It should be obvious, but his insults wouldn't have been funny if his audience thought he actually felt that way.
