Should Sarah Palin come to NY after Sandra Bernhard's warning?



19 September 2008 @ 03:30 pm ET

Sandra Bernhard issued a vulgar hate-speech against Gov. Sarah Palin during a performance of her new one-woman show in Washington D.C., warning her to stay away from Manhattan.

Bernhard refers to her as "Uncle Woman" and even goes to the extremes and says that she will not be invited in Manhattan where she might be "gang-raped" by her "big black brothers."

"[The gang rape comment] is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that's what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women's rights and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin, a woman who doesn't believe that other women should have the right to choose," Bernhard said, according to the Daily News today.

Currently, Bernhard is performing her act "Without You I'm Nothing" at Washington DC's Theater J, which is part of the Washington DC Jewish Community Center.

Palin had been set to attend the rally protesting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad organized by major Jewish organizations and sponsored by the National Coalition to Stop Iran Now on Sep 22.

Clinton backed out this week because no one told her Palin would be there. Jewish groups disinvited Gov. Palin on Thursday.

Former first lady backed out as she did not want to appear with Palin, who has emerged as the new female star of the 2008 campaign.

"It was a huge misjudgment," said one person familiar with the discussions about Palin, according to Newsday.

"Gov. Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue," McCain said in a statement, but "regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans."

I think she should go to NYC and proclaim she isn't a racist because she does not believe Black people are inclined to rape as Sandra Bernhard believes.

I agree. Sandra Bernhardt should keep her nose out of Palin’s business. I know it’s hard, being as how Bernhardt’s nose has its own area code... .

Sandra Bernhardt is nothing but a vile little pig (i.e, physical resemblance), but her views on Palin are not only anti-feminist, racist, uncivilized and moronic, but they also demonstrate how desperate she is for some form of public affection. When she can’t get something her way, she simply resorts to vulgarity—the lowest form of creativity and humor.Crawl back under your trough Sandra.

This pig, just like the other Celebrity Obamanites should just keep their mouths SHUT! I HOPE that we ALL, after this election, will show all of them that there is a price for spewing the kind of hate they have been spewing
