About the same number of conservative comedians. ---

> [@aldiboronti](#): > > She is? I can’t say I’ve seen any evidence of it. The few stolen routines which were funny when others did them fell totally flat from her. That’s good to know. Schumer is not everyone’s taste, of course, but she does happen to be arguably the #1 standup comic in America today, not to mention Emmy award winner and five-time nominee, and famed writer, actress, and producer. I happened to read something she wrote recently, where she says that she’s used to being insulted by the likes of, say, you, but she understandably no longer gives a shit, having risen to heights of success that are probably a lot brighter than it is under the rock where you live. > [@aldiboronti](#): > > As for Democrats spewing hate, let me count the ways. Yeah, same deal as above. > [@aldiboronti](#): > > Democrats scoff at the ‘biased liberal media’ notion but remind me how many right-wing late night hosts there are. You know what? Only a total moron would consider late-night talk shows to be “media”. Do you even know what “media” means when we talk about, you know, news? Do you even know what “news” is? Maybe you need to take a course that should be taught at the Academy for Mentally Challenged Right-Wing Dipshits called “_Entertainment 101: how entertainment and ‘reality shows’ featuring Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump differ from actual reality_”. Aside from that, maybe the reason that flame-breathing right-wing dipshits don’t host entertainment talk shows is that people just want to be entertained, and that takes the modest intellectual ability to be entertaining – most of those humorless dipshits don’t have two brain cells to rub together. Alternatively, of course, it might be a Hollywood + New York conspiracy perpetrated by the Jews. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard about it. ---

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard about it. No, a moron is someone who could quite overlook the fact that I was quoting one instance of media coverage, not conflating all media with late-night talk shows. You will admit that they are a part of the media, or is your intellectual grasp always far from your reach? It must be very frustrating. I advise reading more widely and deeply. It does wonders for the comprehension. The fact that you believe there are no funny writers or comedians on the right reveals your limitations quite starkly. But please, continue in your narrow-minded path of reading and watching only those who share your beliefs; it makes you so easy to shoot down. ---

Well, pretend we could quantify, just for the thought experiment. Lets say a genuinely outrageous example of racism rates a 529 millibannons. But the country, as a whole, runs about 200. More in Texas, less in Vermont. I’m not so concerned about individual psychopaths who latch on to whatever horseshit their voices tell them. Its the other, the day to day acceptability of racism. All in all, I want that number to drop. Someone who, to all appearances, wants that number to rise is not someone worthy of my respect or regard. ---
