Samantha Bee and her cancer jokes

Personally, I thought the joke wasn't funny but she doesn't need to apologize for it. It shows that there are right wing snowflakes as well as left wing ones. If you say you've never made a botched joke or said something stupid, you are either lying or delusional. Samantha Bee is not lying or delusional, and she did apologize-so she's doing the correct thing. 

The right wing snowflakes are dead on about something. If a republican comedian said something like this, the pitchforks would come out. Don't mention Ann Coutler-she isn't taken seriously by anyone and doesn't have the credibility that Samantha Bee does. While it's true, there are no right of center (or even libertarian!) late night talk show hosts or comedians (outside of the Heaven sent Red Eye and it's former host, Greg Gutfeld) that shows more on the entertainment industry bias that it does conservatism.

It's important on this one to ask yourself "If I agreed with the comedians politics, how would I feel?" that's a good step to see if you are being honest with yourself and morally consistent. If Ann Coulter was a leftist, I'm guaranteeing you that she'd be given a lot more room from the media with her disgusting and nasty comments.
