Sandra Bernhard Trying To Back Away From Rape Comments

J.J. Jackson* | October 5, 2008

Ah, this is a funny thing indeed. Sandra Bernhard reportedly makes a comment about Sarah Palin, who I am pretty sure she dislikes, being gang raped by her “big black brothers” and does not deny the claim when asked:

Bernhard, 53, was asked to confirm the “gang rape” remark when first contacted by the Daily News in mid-September - and never denied it.

“That comment is part of a much larger, nuanced, and yes, provocative (that’s what I do) piece from my show about racism, freedom, women’s rights, and the extreme views of Governor Sarah Palin,” she said in an e-mail at the time.

So she originally admitted that the “comment” was part of her piece and you must be stupid if you don’t understand it. That is a typical liberal talking point. Their hate is always “nuanced”.

Now however that she is starting the see the consequences of this action (link) she is back peddling and denying the report of what she said:

Outspoken comedienne Sandra Bernhard has shot down earlier reports that she said Sarah Palin would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” if she enters Manhattan.
“I never said ‘gang-raped’ and I never used ‘rape,’ ” Bernhard told the Daily News on Thursday.

But when asked what she actually said:

Bernhard wouldn’t recall the exact words she had spoken, citing her monologue’s improvisational nature, but said she “addressed the issue [that] if Sarah Palin had, God forbid, been violated, would she be willing to care for the baby?”

So she admitted to saying it, then denied it and now cannot recall what she actually said. So if she cannot recall what she said, how can she deny that she said what she originally confirmed she did indeed say?

Being a liberal is easy. That’s why she is one. She can say whatever she wants and in her own mind she will be right no matter how utterly stupid she sounds. And if you don’t like it? Well her opinions are just too “nuanced” for you I suppose.
