MICHAEL MOORE has my permission to go soak his head and keep it under water.   Other than little Bobby Kennedy, he is the most useless figure of the play left who always gets attention for himself by trashing Democrats at crucial times.    To quote Tim Walz, what a jerkwad. 

"Comedians" As The Only Sacred Thing - American Comedy c. 2024 Is Not Funny

WHEN I HEARD that the rapidly curdling Jon Stewart came out in defense of the racist, sexist, Trumpian-fascist bit done at Trump's Nazi rally I went to look where it was written up.   If the top hits on google are any indication it was mostly written up in the Republican-fascist and "entertainment" rags and sites.   I'd had about  enough of Stewart earlier in the year when I read and heard him on first the best president we've had since LBJ,  Joe Biden was being sandbagged and then later,  I mean I remember with fondness his over the top take-down of Glenn Beck when he was still doing The Daily Show, which I laughed at but I would guess that's more the writers than him.  I'm wondering if in ten years he's going to be a sour old man like Jerry Seinfeld is, whining that People of Color,  Latinos, Women, others are calling out the holy, sacrosanct "comedians" when they peddle hate against them defending those poor, unjustly persecuted white male comedians against the onslaught of People who are tired of the kind of shtick that was one of the most effective means of keeping "those" People in their place.   Of course the People who endured that and overcame that are mostly white,  the Irish, the Italians, white Jews,  as enough of them rose in wealth and, so, prominence and influence and mostly white men, at that.  

If that Hinchcliffe asshole had used the "c" word in his shtick as he wanted to,  I have no problem imagining that Stewart would have defended him.   Given how degenerate American "comedy" is these days,  I can imagine him defending him if he'd done a Roseanne Barr style Holocaust "joke".    I'd like to know if he's ever addressed that recent innovation in edgy "comedy."  

Why would Stewart think that the very jerks who are making everyone else into a target should be immune from commentary, mockery, rejection?   Why shouldn't the population at large have the opportunity to do what any stand-up audience has the right to do when someone like him bombs and objects to it?   That's pretty much what America has been doing since Sunday.   

Apparently for Stewart "comedians" are the only thing not allowed to be booed.   What a self-serving stand to take.   Especially as he rejects far more important and serious ones.   He has forfeited any right to be taken seriously, from now on.   It is less than a week till we find out if American Hitler 2024 is going to take power, afterall.

White Catholicism Has A Serious Facism Problem - People's Exhibit #n=infinity But Not Nearly As Serious A Problem as Current "Comedy" Does

THE SCUMBAG RACIST "comedian" Tony Hinchcliffe who is now infamous is a product of Ursuline High School in Youngstown, Ohio.   Also, too, he was a member of the wrestling team.   There's something deeply creepy about wrestling, perhaps especially the kulcha of wrestling in mid-western states.  See also:  Denny Hastert and Jim Jordan.

More to the point and probably far more relevant to anything he's a product of thorough conventional American "comedy."   Not caring to dip too far into the sewer that is Hinchcliffe,  I looked him up on his, no doubt, self-typed Wikipedia page:  

In 2007, Hinchcliffe moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in comedy.[2][4] He started performing stand-up at open mics at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California.[2][9][3] He was hired to work the phones and the cover booth, eventually becoming a paid regular at the venue.[2][5] He also started opening for comedians Joe Rogan and Jeff Ross on tour.[10][9][5]

Hinchcliffe became known at The Comedy Store for insulting other comics and audience members during shows.[3][11] He is also known for broaching uncomfortable and sensitive topics during his stand-up sets.[9][3][11][12] Hinchcliffe's style of roasting[13][3][10] and dark sense of humor appealed to fellow comedian Jeff Ross, also known as the "Roastmaster General" of the television series Comedy Central Roast.[3][5][11] Hinchcliffe refers to Ross as his "mentor" and he helped get Hinchcliffe his first writing jobs.[3][5][11]

Hinchcliffe has written for the Comedy Central Roast episodes featuring James Franco, Justin Bieber and Rob Lowe.[2][9][14][10][15] Hinchcliffe's contributions to the series include writing Martha Stewart's set for the Justin Bieber roast and Ann Coulter's set for the Rob Lowe roast.[10][15] Hinchcliffe has also written for the comedy panel show The Burn with Jeff Ross and appeared as a contestant on the first season of Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle.[5][16]

He also appeared as a roaster on the All Def Digital Roast of Snoop Dogg in 2016[9][14] and The Roast of Tom Brady in 2024.[17]

Since 2013, Hinchcliffe has produced and hosted a podcast called Kill Tony, a weekly live show recorded at The Comedy Store.[14][13][18] During the show, Hinchcliffe and co-host Brian Redban (of The Joe Rogan Experience and the Deathsquad Network), along with a changing panel of comedians and other celebrities, act as judges for amateur comedians.[18][19] The contestants enter their names into a bucket and are selected at random throughout the show.[18][19] Each selected contestant gets to perform a one-minute comedy set,[2][14][13] followed by a discussion and critique by the panel of judges.[19] The show aims to give young comedians a chance to showcase their talent and build their professional reputation. It sets no limits on topics the contestants can present, allowing for potentially offensive or politically incorrect performances.[20][21]

Hinchcliffe's first one-hour stand-up special titled One Shot premiered on Netflix in 2016.[2][13][14] His special was so named because it was shot in one camera take with no edits.[2][14] In 2017, he headlined the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour where he toured 20 American cities in 22 days.[2][13][10]

In September 2020, Hinchcliffe announced that he would be relocating to Austin, Texas, to join Joe Rogan and Brian Redban.[22] The Kill Tony podcast, previously filmed at The Comedy Store, relocated to Antone's Nightclub in downtown Austin, Texas. The show relocated to Vulcan Gas Company on 6th Street in May 2021. Due to an incident that month, his agency WME released him as a client and Antone's announced that it would no longer work with Hinchcliffe or Kill Tony.[23][24][25] As of 2023, the show is hosted at Joe Rogan's Austin based comedy club, Comedy Mothership.

On New Year's Eve 2023, Kill Tony hosted its first live arena show at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park.[26] 

American "comedy" has no sense of morals, no sense of anything being sacred, no sense of anything being wrong and also isn't at all funny.  "Comedy" is entirely compatable with Republican-fascist Trumpian Nazism.
