Tina Fey blasts Tracy Morgan over his remarks that he would stab his gay son until he was dead. | Changing The Planet

@hotlava: I assume you mean that these issues are of no importance in the big picture of life. That's true and we should allow equal access to the law for gays so that we can get on with our lifes. It is no one's business what we do in the bedroom. Shame on them for passing laws against gays.

This is true, and I would mostly agree.

But gays are already violently attacked for being gay.

Hence, the poor taste.

If he made fun of how they dressed and talked, then there would be not outcry.

He dished it out ...he should now have to take it,not watching him or giving him money is a given.Why should he be able to say something but,everyone should shut up and leave him alone? I think nazis should be able to march that doesnt mean I think people should not show up to give them shit and just leave them be.

I wondered too if the gay community was over-reacting. Then, I re-framed it:
Two Jewish children were playing with fire and burned themselves. Their father was not at all sympathetic. He said, get over it. After all, your grandmother was burned alive in an oven- and she didn't cry and whine about it. Funny stuff.

definitely his publicist, the word "jokester" is a dead giveaway

You know keithponder, I told my son the same thing, I don't think he is funny. I simply cannot stand that baby talk act he has, it annoys me to no end. You are right, he is not applying wit, or irony or even sarcasism like many of the masters in the comedy trade. He is simply a grown man who has agreed to act like a bumbling idiot on screen.

thanks for that comment.

Keith, I couldn't agree with you more. By the way,don't forget Red Fox.real comedians.Where's Chapell?

now redd foxx was funny.

ditto.

please.......... lets be real it doesn't take any sort of balls to be a hollywood celebrity and stand up for gays right now, anyone of em can do it and score points.

Now if your a tea partier standing up for gay rights, thats a complete different story.

She's his boss, so it does mean something for her to come out publicly against his statement. Your qualification of the gesture means absolutely nothing in this context. If she would've just let it go without saying anything she would've been blasted as well by certain groups. At least she went on record which is what she deserves credit for, simple as that.

And insult to injury he has Fey to thank for his Snl material and all his awards.

I dont understand why you want to be on here...I come on here because I agree with some dems on war ,gay rights and I like seeing how others think.Why are you here, other than to just irritate people.I would understand a conservative coming here to try to change someones mind on perhaps a certain economic policy but you seem to just get off on being abrasive....and heterophobe what is that? Most of the people ragging on you are hetro.

someone like you wouldnt know the meaning of tolerance if it slapped you in the face

That was not a sentence in the English language.

1.) Since when is Tina Fey a moron?

2.) Since when is saying that you would stab your gay son in the face a "joke"?
Do you find any humor in his statement?

i had to edit my comment after reading some of the things he actually said... he wasnt just joking and it wasnt a case of people being sensitive. he did go over the top..

Wow, what do you have, 30 posts and you're already a parody of yourself? Your comments are ridiculous unless it's turned into 1950 while I was asleep. I'd tell you to take your shit somewhere else, but you're going to be a short-timer anyway, so why bother?

Signed,
Another angry pole smoker (because if you're choking, you're not doing it right)

Imaging what you can do for the white race............. but being a taker, you'll never realize your potential and shall never ever.

First you say:
"... a joke was a joke"

Then you say:
"the twisted gay population"

Thus, making it clear that it is not just a joke even to YOU.
You think jokes are an excuse to mask your hatred and bigotry.

you say:
"... even slightly derogatory ... "

The joke was about murdering his son for being gay.
Gee, is that even slightly derogatory?
Just a little maybe?
Hey moron- it was not a joke about gays being hair stylists.
It was a joke about a parent murdering his son because he's gay.

If you think that is FUNNY- well, we already know the kind of person you are.

Yeah, but all hate-spewing aside, that joke was just not funny at all. Gay people can take jokes and, in fact, make them. I hope you were able to catch the "That's Gay" special with Bryan Safi last night to give you a little perspective.

What the hell was that?

Our potential for the HUMAN race is based on our INTELLECT and how we apply it.

Obviously, being a moron, you will never realize that potential.

I'm not a pole choker or, as you probably meant, a pole smoker but I despise homophobic creeps like you. My son is gay and he is ten times the man you will ever be.

Everything Marshaldog says is completely unnecessary.

I wouldn't normally chime in if someone is being ganged up on but,what the fuck is wrong with you? Is it a religious thing,a gay guy kick your ass, are intimidated by gay people? ....seriously I want to know.

I wish they would not remove comments,I would love to see what other gems you have written.I am guessing you're a religious white supremacist?

Thanks for your kind comment. My son is director of patient protocol for a large cancer research facility on the west coast. Most of the patients he deals with have been declared terminal. He is a caring man as are so many of the gays who are in the health care profession. I wonder if homophobes would eschew hospital stays if they knew how many of those caring for them in their hours of need were gay?

wow!!!! maybe he could live up to his full potential for the white race if he could kill some jews and native americans and own some black people... just like in the good ole days... white power!!!

Poor UtopianSky... still dreaming of a world full of rainbows, raining colorful Skittles

If all comedians jokes were funny they would overpopulate the industry. He tried a joke that he thought was comedy and he was wrong. Let the ticket buyers sort it out. I've watched "A" listed comedians totally bomb while testing new material.

But all of this public outrage is ridicules. Why don't you guys just hang him in the town square? Will that quite the blood thirsty hetero-phobic gays? I doubt it.

I didn't see anyone calling for him to be hurt.If someone is saying or doing something you feel is wrong (or in this case abhorrent)...you should speak out against it,he said what he did and you are fine with that but,condemn those who speak out saying it was wrong.By the way are you going to explain why you hate gay people?

I do not HATE anyone. I strongly oppose the choice to be gay and the forced indoctrination thereof. But that's my opinion and sense most of the posters here are of a different opinion, they automatically blast me as an uneducated homophobe. In other words, free speech and opinions are great... as long as they agree with their own.

YOU dont hate anyone but told a man he should beat his son? You also said choice...when did you decide you liked women?

By definition, since you hold that opinion you are an uneducated homophobe.

Just like someone who thinks the earth is flat has no knowledge of geography, astronomy, or physics.

You have freedom of speech- and so do we.

The diference is, we actually know what we are talking about, and your only desire is to be an annoying child having a tantrum on the internet to get attention.

Typical slander attack by a far left, lean forward idiot. Anyone that has a differing opinion is a religious white supremacist. The more you type the more you reveal your intolerance!

INTOLERANCE??? HAHAHAHAHAHA

Beat his son???? Where in the F did you get that from? A slap is a beating?

Nature decided for me to like women. I would be breaking a major law against nature to like men. I would have to choose to break that law. I chose not to!

Now that's a riot. And thanks' for proving my point. Liberals are extremely intolerant people. It's either your way or the Hershey Highway.

Oh, good lord. How about you try this: watch some gay porn, and try your damndest to get an erection. If you are indeed "straight by nature," you won't get an erection. It is simple.

Sexual preference is not a choice. You need to learn to think outside of your apparently limited experience and try to empathize with people. You don't know everything.

And your silly "breaking a major law against nature" argument is just a construct inside your own head. Gay people having sex with each other does not create holes in the ozone or cause the extinction of species. In fact, since humankind is overrunning the planet and choking the life out of it, the less babies had, the better. We need to slow down with all this unchecked breeding for breeding's sake. Nature will find a way to do it for us if we can't.

Nature decided for some to be gay also.Calling me left is priceless.You said "slap his son around to make him not gay." Tolerance is simply putting up with,if no one is physically hurting me then what they do has no effect on my life.

Look you obviously have a fake profile and like trolling but you also actually believe in the crap you say...I have never met anyone that had a problem with gays except when it stemmed from religion,so I am simply guessing that you are a christian conservative.If I am wrong fine.To me you saying you hate gay people is no different than saying you hate women or someone of a different race.You are either attracted to someone or you're not,there simply is no choice in it. Imagine if you were told that your being attracted to women was wrong and you should be with men.Putting up with someones beliefs doesnt mean agreeing with them or not debating them but,when you have the belief that gays are inferior to you and something should be done about them ,that delves into the realm of self defense from you, not just putting up with.

Murder is not something to joke about. How many people have been dissowned, abused, and murdred by their families because they were Gay? If you are unwilling to accept a person because of your biases then fine. But that does not give you the right to to cause or advocate that pesons death or any other kind of abuse. And for you information I am not gay but I support the right of the LGBT community to have happy fulfilling lives that are given fill and equal protection under the law.

Hope you feel better my sweet. Enjoy the weekend. ;-)

When was that choice given? I do not remember getting the paperwork.

Ah! So if nature filled out that paperwork for you. So you did not have a choice in whom you were attracted to. So using your logic nature filled out the paperwork for people in the LGBT community as well. So these people like who they like because nature chose for them. like you They were BORN with their sexuality predetermined.

Probably has a lot to do with this perceived "forced indoctrination" which is not true. No one is forcing you to do anything as far as gays are concerned.

I am so glad tina fey spoke out, I found tracy morgan's comments offensive and he is not that funny. I have friends who are gay and damn proud I have them as friends. FYI dave chappelle and I attended the same high school. I graduated six years before he did.

you should be thankful for having such a wonderful son

Thanks cherry, I couldn't be prouder!

I agree with you sam, tl is a good guy, I don't appreciate when someone say anything negative about him.

because alec baldwin is the leading authority on offensive gay jokes? who gives a shit

I read somewhere last night that Baldwin tweeted, "Oh, that Tracy!"

I believe Tina is the boss, not Alec.
