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

I don't think Sykes has been funny since the Chappelle show. This is just confirmation for me.
 
I think it can easily be taken the wrong way but she isn't trying to compare him to Hitler at all. She at least could've used someone who actually made a fuss about it, though, not the only politician that preferred to focus on the economy.
 
Meh, the joke was the he has two first names because he's "hiding something." Not that he's like Hitler. Nothing offensive.

Then why wasn't it "Ron Paul Johnson", or "...McGee" or "...Crosby"?

I don't know that it was meant to be a swipe at Paul, but it speaks volumes as to Sykes' character that "Hitler" is the first "funny" name that comes to her mind.

You don't like the commercial where she accosts a group of teenage douche-bags for saying "gay" as an insult? That is probably the pinnacle of her career. :rolleyes:
 
She mainly attacked Trump (rightly so) and then made fun of Newt Gingrich for having a "funny name" and Ron Paul for having two first names. Seems pretty tame.

If Ron Paul becomes more mainstream we'll need to have a thicker skin than that.
 
Hitler slaughtered Jews and Ron Paul has been accused of being anti-Israel and racist. Her choice of names was just a coincidence, I am sure. :rolleyes:

I actually found it so funny. I just watched it for a second time...

I think its good that she knows who Ron Paul is... and you know what.. Leno has a million people who heard his name again.. and its good..

any press is good press..

4 years ago we would have been ecstatic to have Ron Paul mentioned on Leno like this..
 
thanks for bumping this thread.. now I gotta watch this video again.. maybe its on youtube
 
We shouldn't even be wasting time typing her name, she's the least funny, and worst comedian in the entire world... period

I agree with the first sentence. The rest is irrelevant. And I would extend that sentiment to Herman Cain, Fox News polls, the energy spent on intel on issues that matter to 2% of voters, and all the other diversions everyone seems so focused on. If Fox News, MSM, terrorists, big government supporters, and other anti-liberty people wanted to provides distractions so Ron Paul supporters would focus all their energies on meaningless pursuits, they are winning.
 
She says stuff like this a lot. It means little to nothing in my view.
