I don’t know how many people have seen the story, I think mostly the people who are obsessed with arguing about everything, and people who pay a lot of attention to Sarah Silverman. Seems she’s catching a bit of flak for something she tweeted in 2009.
It was a joke which was very un-PC, certainly by 2018 standards, which are starting to be a bit restrictive for my tastes, but apparently wasn’t enough to raise eyebrows at the time. It wasn’t as if these were notes in her diary that are now being revealed, it was a tweet, which she put out in public, and I think it’s still there.
I thought it was kind of a funny joke. She tweeted: “Is it still child molestation if the child makes the first move. I’m going to need a quick answer on this.” I almost literally lol’ed, but it’s late and people are sleeping.
Anyway, one of my Facebook friends, from one of the Bernie sites I frequent, posted “Sarah Silverman is a disgusting piece of shit” on a black field with a couple of thumbs down emojis. I’m pretty sure that the tweets are just an excuse. A lot of Bernie people have never forgiven her for her ‘You are being ridiculous’ quote. That, in my opinion, is ridiculous. She backed Bernie in the primaries, so she’s cool in my book.
And, as far as I’m concerned, she can go ahead and keep on not being PC. She’s a comedian, for fuck’s sake.
