Wanda Sykes on Leno: "Ron Paul? What are you - Ron Paul Hitler? "

Um.... that's not really joking about Ron Paul as a person but, his name being two first names. Again, let's not make an issue over stuff that doesn't need to be.
 
but hitler? out of all the names she could've said she had to use hitler?
 
I did hear a pretty funny joke about Ron Paul's two first names - that Duncan Hunter had a problem of having two last names and that he he join up with Ron Paul.

I don't think that the Hitler comment was neutral though, I think that it was a deliberate attempt to suggest that Paul is racist.

I thought it was funny..

Besides we know Jay likes Ron
 
what is a wanda sykes?

She is like the black version of Kathy Lee Griffin. Annoying, stupid, and no one has a clue why she thinks she can pass herself off as a decent comedian. That is being unfair to Kathy though, Wanda is way worse.

I was offended before I read the transcript.

Since she was joking about Ron Paul "hiding something" because he has "two first names", and since "Hitler" is about the most exaggeratedly bad last name that one could conceivably have, then I think that her joke worked, and consequently was funny.
 
Hey, Hitler is pretty good considering some of the things he's been called.
 
There are malevolent forces out to prevent Ron Paul becoming President.I doubt that Mrs Sykes is associated with them.You never know but I doubt it.
 
She said much worse about the others and GOP in general. Jokes about having two first names is mild from Wanda. Wonder what she thinks of his stance on gov't involvement in marriage.
She probably agrees.
The Tom Joyner Show was on AFN here for a while. She is fairly regular on the show.

Wonder what would she say if someone joked about Barack Obama having a weird name and saying it would be easier if he was named Barack Hitler.

Just to clarify I am pretty sure what she would say.

Just found the coolest thing...

Dear Wanda Sykes,

You have just caricatured the only Republican left standing on the Frederick Douglass Republican Platform as a "Hitler," because you don't like the character of his name. You have just struck a blow against racial harmony in the US, by working to dismantle the last work of Frederick Douglass, and helping to return - not just any race - but everyone, back into a new kind of slavery in the United States. You profit on perpetuating the misery of your peers, raping the poor and downtrodden for material while you are driven home in the Jag. You should be ashamed!

Sincerely,

The 21st Century Abolitionist
 
Meh, the joke was the he has two first names because he's "hiding something." Not that he's like Hitler. Nothing offensive.
