What Gang Rape???
Filed under: Media Minute > Sarah Palin
Comedienne Sandra Bernhard is denying reports that she verbally attacked Republican VP Nominee Sarah Palin.
Bernhard is denying that she said Palin would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers" if she enters Manhattan.
Ouch.
This supposedly happened during her opening monologue during a show last month in Washington, DC.
But Bernhard told the Daily News on Thursday, "I never said 'gang-raped' and I never used 'rape.'"
The "funny" woman is speaking out after an announcement was made that she was dropped as the keynote speaker for a benefit in mid-October at Rosie's Place, a women's shelter in Boston.
But when first contacted by the Daily News in mid-September to confirm the remarks, Bernhard never denied it.
In an email at the time, she said "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."
Inneresting.
As for Bernhard, she said she had waited to set the record straight because "as a performer, I'm not in the business of explaining myself to ill-informed critics. However, once this caused collateral damage to an innocent charity which does great work, I needed to correct things for the record."
And although Bernhard said she couldn't recall her exact words, since she said it's very improvised, she did say she "addressed the issue [that] if Sarah Palin had, God forbid, been violated, would she be willing to care for the baby?"
As for the cancellation, Bernhard claims she has no hard feelings and plans to make a donation to the shelter "immediately."
She added, "I understand the predicament they're in."
What do U think of her comments?

that's disgusting!
i think her comments represent the democratic party as a whole… if you disagree with them, then you are obviously an idiot and deserved to be gang-raped. when will compromise come back to BOTH parties??
who know and who cares what she really said. she's right anyway. she's handling it with class and donating to the charity that canned her. they'll probably end up getting publicity off of this and making way more money than they would have initially.
PEREZ IS A FUCKTARD!
Man, that's one ugly dude!
this is horrific. I really am afraid of what is going to happen to this country after this extremely divisive election.
Im glad i live in the uk, then again……. were all tea drinking nut jobs

well sandra bernhard is in no danger of being gang-raped, that's one homely gal
.
i wouldn't touch her with your dick perez
I think Sandra Bernhard is a lot of things … and funny is NOT one of them.
She never has been. She's just a bitter, grotesque, she-man looking to elevate her "non-status".
She fails misterably.
dayum! dat one ugly sista…
.

The monkey wouldn't even fuck that!
As a mother of black son, I am really offended when you put black man and rape together. Between her and the Cho comment, I will vote for McCain.
Re: L.B.Sambo – WHY DO YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO HAVE SOMEONE IN "BLACK FACE" AS YOUR AVATAR YOU RETARDED FUCK!
Dude looks like a lady, kind of
Ugly bitch. Go fuck yourself with a dildo.
She's making her point the only way she knows how, sensationally!
Shes got a face that guarentees she'll never be raped!!
In the long run the only ones to really suffer are the homeless woman of Rosie's Place.
REFRESH!
FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!! And Perez, PLEASE learn how to spell.
I saw the video of the show. She did say rape, etc. The accusation is accurate. That said. I think this goyle is one of the most offensive, bestial creatures ever to get paid to spew bilge. Anyone who would pay to hear her is trash. She is the maggot on the underbelly of the industry.
she's as ugly on the outside as she is on the inside.
she spews hate and animosity.
btw, abortion is murder under ANY circumstance.regardless of the how,the baby is an innocent. how is the right to choose to kill your unborn child any different that the right to choose to kill your living child or the neighbor next door? yes it's in your body but only for 9 months. then give it up for adoption if you don't want it! anyone that commits abortion or think it's an ok choice is ignorant, has low iq's, and suffer inside when/should they do so. how can democratic christians say they support obama and abortion? contradictory. picking and choosing…
BITCH FUCK!

STUPID WEIRD UGLY BITCH
BIG MOUTH
NASTY
FOUL MOUTHED GAP TOOTH NERD
LOL
once again bernhard's big foul mouth has gotten her knee deep in it. see how she's back tracking at the speed of light now. hahahahah
I think she is full of shit.
Re: dot. dot. dot. – Freedom of speech is fine (although I sometimes think people take it too far), but she should be ready to accept the consequences. Goodbye career.
I feel sorry for her daughter being subjected to her vile example.
This woman has GOT TO BE the ugliest woman on earth!
Sandra Bernhard is the true definition of ugly both inside and out. She rips on Sarah Pailin to whom she couldn't hold a candle. An asshole like Sandra Bernhard has no shame and will do anything for attention. I'm embarrassed to have her as a fellow American.
I will never understand why anyone would pay to hear anything that comes out of this woman's filthy mouth. I'm not a prude by any stretch of imagination but I find her totally disgusting and without any value. This latest mess is a classic example of her vile sense of "humor". There are some things in life that are considered open season when it comes to making fun of them. Rape is not one of them, under any circumstances. Whether she likes Sarah Palin or not is not the point. Rape is not funny. Rape is a serious violent crime against another human being. I'd venture to say that Sarah Bernhard wouldn't find rape subject matter for laughs if she were the victim.
I think its rediculous and completly uncalled for! I mean yes i can understand disagreeing with someone's belief and all that but to ridicule and be hateful its not right!
I think she is a disgusting individual and I hope that the charity stands firm on their decision to give her the boot. She has always been homely, but she looks absolutely HORRIBLE!
Mud Slinging aside…
Did she always look THIS bad?
Seems she wasn't quite THIS horrific on the Roseanne show when she was makin out with Tom Arnold constantly…
Although don't think I'm meaning to say she was ever "pretty"…
Re: L.B.Sambo – that! is funny!!!
Re: stephie86 – Agree with you 100%! Dowhatsright, I respect your opinion and hear what you are trying to say. Personally, I would never judge/berate anyone facing such a difficult decision. With that said, I believe those that are pro-choice are fighting for the right to choose. As a woman, it scares me if this right is taken away from us. If so, what will be next?
SHE'S HIDEOUS!!!!
Sandra Bernhardt deserved to get dropped from the charity- and deserves her current bad PR.
Joking about Sarah Palin gettting "gang raped" in New York crossed the line.
Sandra just isn't that funny anymore. She and Margaret Cho have become REALLY tedious and annoying. Maybe their own "extreme" views on killing innocent life should be examined. Sexy Sarah's views seem much more inline with mainstream America than these two "comedians."
She is a disgusting, talentless old hag. I saw her perform live in Fort Lauderdale on Labor Day and she came totally unprepared, hurled insults at prettimuch everyone, including gays, and thinks she has the moral authority to do so by calling herself a "strong, black woman." She's not black, she's not intelligent and she never had a career to begin with which is probably why the charity dumped her sorry tired ass. Her 15 minutes of fame were over a long time ago when she went down on Madonna. Time to accept her old-age obscurity for what she really is….a nobody.
She is seriously UGLY
Meh - freedom of speech I say.
I just wish people would realize that this cunt just ain't funny. Gimme Sarah Silverman any day over this "Lenny Bruce" wanna be.
Ooooo - Sandra! What you said was SOOOOO shocking!!!
Fuck off you unfunny cow.
A HOT mess
I have always thought that this lady is disgusting - she better look out for karma when she says shit like that
what a hateful fucking bitch!
Goddamn! I thought she was ugly 20 yrs ago,and I didn't think getting uglier was possible. She is positively frightening
Good God, was she face fucked by a rhino?
I believe Sandra. I doubt she said it as is being portrayed. Of course when RIGHT-WING crazies say that gay people like me should be lynched, well, there you have it. But Sandra is telling the truth.
I can't believe anyone pays to see her "perform"
Sandra is funny. Very funny. What is funny is that people laughed at guys like George Carlin or equally offensive MALE comedians, but attack Sandra?? Personally, she makes me laugh. I love her style.
SHE IS THE UGLIEST WOMAN THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! PLEASE DONT EVER PUT HER ON HERE EVER AGAIN!!!
Whatever happened to Americans being able to have their opinions without someone as foul mouthed as Bernhard making a stupid comment as that! I don't agree with Obama, but I wouldn't wish him or his family any harm. I thank God that I answer to a higher power and at least have enough class to let all have their opinion and life style without judgment or hatred. Sandra needs to keep her mouth shut if she can't at least manage try to say something intelligent. If you read this Sandra, I'm sure Obama is proud that you are on his side, lol. Notice who he invites to represent him, Oprah and women of that caliber. He puts his hand up to people like you and Lezlo. Get a clue and keep your foul mouth to yourself.
Bernhard is a comedian, she can say whatever the fuck she wants. Sarah Palin deserves to be gang raped just for making rape victims PAY FOR THEIR OWN RAPE KITS. She a disgusting excuse for a Governor. All she cares about is spreading her EVANGELICAL crap.
GOD that bernhard is one FUGLY gross bitch! The whole episode smacks of
d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-i-o-n and no LIFE. UGH
Sandra is an ugly pig. and even the lipstick doesn't help. low class dog.
Re: Timmy – lol! i truly agree though!
Wassup with her makeup? Perry, you thought Cathy Zeta-Jones' was bad..
she's a liar. there's video PROOF of her exact remarks about sarah palin, and she did say gang raped. stating that she "can't recall her exact words" is a cop out. perez, you should've done some fair reporting and shown the other side of the story, which is the actual video of her doing exactly what she said she didn't do. her outrageous tangent on sarah palin is typical of extremist left minded people. if you don't agree with them, then you deserve to be gang raped. stupid biatch.
gross
Not only do I find her comments offensive, but equally offensive is people would pay to see this "never-had-talent has been" to begin with.
And yes, I agree witht The rest of the world that the "trade mark" of a Democrat is THEY'RE FOREVER SHOUTING FOR THE RIGHTS TO ONES OWN OPINION AND BELIEFS AS LONG AS IT COINSIDES WITH THEIR OWN.
LOVE SANDRA,HATE SARAH!!!!!!!!!
Man!! She puts the UG UG UG in FUGLY!!
Her comments are vulgar & ugly (just like her looks)
lmao her face
This woman is so vile (both verbally and physically). I never understood why anyone ever watched her. It's her desperate attempt at keeping herself in some type of media. She needs to head back to "Main Street" and work in underground sewers, where she belongs and no one has to look at that wretched face.
She needs to know her role and shut her fucking dyke ass ugly fuck hole. I can't BELIEVE that people PAY money to go and see her. They give money to sit in a room with one of human's lowest forms. She is too aggressive and too rude. Someone needs to shoot her and put us all out of our misery. Please.
Re: Furby Fuckina –
If she's 8 mo prego we're all in fucking trouble!
Is she trying to say that all black men are rapist? hahaha Was she trying to make Sarah look bad or the black men?? haha good one. BTW this biotch is fugly
Re: Fire – funny you — a democrat — ASSUME I am a male, latino, and a republican. All of which I am not.
Re: Paulie – Don't be inaccurate. Muslim Extremists hang gay people. Right Wing Christians would stone you to death per the prescribed Biblical punishment. Now, we know the Iranians, among others, execute gays. I can't really remember any Christian Crazies stoning gays. How about a little less hyperbole and a little more anger directed at the real danger to you and the rest of our society?
BOTH SANDRA BERNHARD AND SARAH SILVERMAN ARE DISGUSTING TRASH!
.
THEY ARE NOT FUNNY AND ONLY GET ATTENTION BY SAYING SUPER TRASHY DIRTBAG THINGS THAT GET THEM ATTENTION!!
.
THEY'RE LIKE BORAT!!
.
NOT FUNNY UNLESS THEY ARE ACTIVELY HURTING OTHER PEOPLE!!
blinded by her beauty…
I finally figured out what her expression is caused by. Sandra forgot the rule, Mouth to ass, ok. Ass to mouth, not ok.
Sandra Bernhard deserves to be slapped in the mouth with a herpes infested dick. How dare she even make a joke about gang-rape? And why did it have to be "big black brothers"? Why play into that particular stereotype? The whole "joke" was offensive and reprehensible on so many different levels.
Whoa! What a vile comment. And if there ever was a case for plastic surgery, Sandra is it! She is ugly inside and out.
She looks like Bozo the clown with that redface and big bulbous nose
she is fugly on the inside and out
She's a bold faced liar! I saw her do this routine on a video of her show that is playing on youtube. She absolutely makes that statement.
Hellooooo, she's a comedian…
She really looks odd, like a halloween costume! Boo!
Re: Missy McGee –
…what career?
Re: dot. dot. dot. –
Yeah, what about freedom of speech? Freedom of speech only protects speech from the government. It doesn't protect speech from criticism. It doesn't guarantee that you won't face any repercussions from your words.
