As much criticism we all can mount on someone in any case I don't think we ever wish ill on them. It's just classless to wish your opponent or someone you don't like to die wouldn't it?
Obama laughs at Rush "Oxycontin" jab
I don't know who Sykes is, don't care. But wishing someone ill is something we see from bitter, shallow and people who can't engage in a civil matter. Laughing and agreeing with this sort of tasteless attack only encourages more. Remember, if Rush were a liberal these people would be talking about how brave he is for facing his addictions.
Engage on the issues, don't attack the person. We've seen it with that Miss California and anyone else who doesn't tow the politically correct groupthink mentality. They attack the person not the ideas.
Obama laughs at Rush "Oxycontin" jab
Wanda Sykes isn't killing but she's getting some laughs -- and Obama was yukking it up until Sykes muttered the word "abstinence" and "Palin" in the same joke.
He was back laughing when Sykes slammed Rush -- and hard -- for the hoping-Obama-will fail stuff.
CSPAN was trained on the president when Sykes joked that Limbaugh was the "I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th [Sept. 11th] hijacker, but he was so strung out on Oxycontin he missed his flight."
Obama was chuckling -- while saying something to his dais mates -- and couldn't quite stop smiling even as he sipped some water.
She finished her Rush bit with: "l hope this country fails?" I hope his kidney fails!"
He chuckled at that one too.
