There’s been an interesting– shall we call it a trend?– lately. Basically, people on BOTH sides of the aisle are digging up old tweets from people they can’t stand and brining them to light. It’s interesting, because both sides are doing this, and the reactions aren’t consistent on party lines. Some conservatives are condemning it, others are loving it. Same goes for liberals.
Comedian Michael Ian Black is the latest “victim,” although I HARDLY want to call him one. He’s atrocious in every way imaginable. He’s convinced he’s being targeted because he accused the NRA of being a “mob front for Russia,” which might be the dumbest accusation I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
His past controversial tweets include, “Went to my kids’ elementary school Halloween parade. Disappointingly few ‘slutty girl’ costumes” and “I don’t like watching ‘Carly’ with my daughter because there is nobody on that show I want to molest” and “Some lady just changed her baby boy’s diaper right in front of everybody at the gate. Unimpressive penis” and “I really love my kids for about six minutes a day.”

My day so far: Mini Wheats, writing, quick baby fuck, more writing, picked up kids from school.

I don't like watching "iCarly" with my daughter because there is nobody on that show I want to molest.

Idea: sell little containers of jizz as "boy caviar."

What's Latin for "bring me some boys"?

Hosting a bunch of eleven-year-old girls for a sleepover tonight. Terrified their parents will find out.

When has ANY of that passed as “comedy”?
His response:
Today, right wing Twitter came after me out of the blue (again) because they took offense to a bunch of jokes I’ve made over the years (again). Why now? I suspect it has something to do with me asking @dloesh all week about Russian money-laundering at the NRA, but can’t prove it.

Here’s what’s true: 1. I make offensive jokes. I’ve been doing it for 30 years and although I’ve slowed down in recent years and gotten more reflective about it, I still do it. Like when I say I do butt stuff with your mom. I don’t *really* do butt stuff with your mom.

I don’t even think I know your mom. I make jokes about playing in the NFL. Guess what? I never played in the NFL. I could go on. The point is, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the week I go hard after the NRA for being a mob front for Russia, I get this coordinated attack.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) July 22, 2018
So be it, fuckers. I know what I’ve done in my life. And I know what you’ve done in yours. The NRA is a terrorist organization culpable in tens if not hundreds of thousands of American deaths. You want to shit on me for some bad jokes. Have at it. My hands are clean.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) July 22, 2018
Dude. You’re a nasty loser.
Cue Jenna Jameson.
No, it’s because making pedophilia and child rape jokes doesn’t go over well with non-pedos. Get help you sick f*ck. https://t.co/xEBPFnsKdS

Hi Jenna, thanks for the note. I've certainly made some terrible jokes in my career and there are some I wish I could take back. Not sure if you've done anything you regret, but I suspect you wouldn't want your performances to be confused with who you are in your private life. https://t.co/bBGIXIFVZy

Pornography is not pedophilia
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
How am I terrible?
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
Please don’t conflate legal pornography with the rape of innocent children. I was raped as a child and you strike me as a clear and present danger. My only regret is not putting my rapists in jail. I pray you arent the pedo your tweets elude to. https://t.co/tf3qtAn3jf
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
I think everyone should read the comments here. It’s frightening howSO many can normalize jokes about raping babies. Then, go on to trivialize the fact that I was gang raped as a child. #sickpeople https://t.co/Ogjwl1Fc5i
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
Because condemning child rape is bad. 🤦🏼♀️ https://t.co/3Pdsmh4SxA
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
Why do you moronic liberals keep making my hatred for pedophiles about the fact that I am a conservative? This is bipartisan hatred here folks. If you joke, defend or make light of raping babies, I HATE you. https://t.co/YcsYXD5XzU
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
EXACTLY.
Wow… just wow. https://t.co/u7q6ybKX4v
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
That’s the response she’s getting. All for pointing out that Michael Ian Black’s child sex jokes are reprehensible.
Pedophilia should offend EVERYONE. https://t.co/0ZNqoewpad
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
So because you think my vagina is big I can’t pass judgement on pedophilia jokes? https://t.co/sZKXimNLJK
— Jenna Jameson (@jennajameson) July 22, 2018
It just goes to show. Liberals don’t actually have principles to stand on. EVERYONE should detest Michael Ian Black’s old “jokes,” but they choose to ignore it and instead pummel conservatives for saying, “Hey yeah. That’s disgusting.”
Remember what I’ve always said. Liberals are liberals FIRST. Everything else is secondary.
