I think it's fair to say that "comedian" Chuck Nice is not a household name.
However, thanks to uttering an offensive comment about Sarah Palin, Nice is becoming almost famous.
From MRC:
VH1 comedian Chuck Nice appeared on Tuesday's Today show and compared Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to the sexually transmitted disease herpes. He mocked: "But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I've got to say, she is very much like herpes, she's not going away."
The "Best Week Ever" contributor amazingly preceded his comments by instructing the show's hosts and his fellow guests, who were there to discuss news events in the 10am (4th) hour of the show, "...Please don't take it the way it sounds." Amazingly, no one on the program really challenged Nice on his ugly remark. NBC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams mildly observed: "That's the advantage of being Chuck Nice. You can say that and there's no repercussions." Nia-Malika Henderson, the White House reporter for Politico, said nothing.
Defiant, Nice continued: "Everybody's laughing. I don't care. The band is cracking up." Anchors Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Gifford quickly moved onto other topics. Would such a comment about Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton have gone unquestioned on Today?
That's the question.
Would such a comment about a Democrat be allowed to stand?

CHUCK NICE: [Sarah Palin] is beloved by a lot of people because she represents so many things. And I'm going to say this, and please don't take it the way it sounds. But, Sarah Palin to the GOP, this is what I've got to say, she is very much like herpes, she's not going away. Okay? That's it. I'm not equating her with that. Everybody's laughing. I don't care. The band is cracking up.
DAN ABRAMS: That's the advantage of being Chuck Nice. You can say that and there's no repercussions.
CHUCK NICE: I didn’t call her that, I'm just making an analogy.
I think Abrams' comment is just as bad, maybe worse, than what Nice said.
Abrams of NBC points out that Nice has the ADVANTAGE of being able to say that about Sarah Palin. He's envious.
Let's be clear: NBC has lost nearly all credibility as a news organization. It's a propaganda arm of the Obama White House and the Democrat Party. NBC News functions to be unfair and unbalanced.

SHAME ON YOU--GOING AFTER SARAH PALIN'S DAUGHTER IS JUST AWFUL. I'M SURE THAT YOUR MOTHER TAUGHT YOU BETTER. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE JUST BECOME A NEW DAD. WOULD YOU LIKE SOMEONE LIKE YOURSELF TO SAY THAT ABOUT YOUR CHILD? I GUESS THAT IS WHY I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF YOU & HOPE THAT I NEVER HEAR OF YOU AGAIN.
Chuck Nice is a COMEDIAN! A comedian's job is to make people laugh, not to be politically correct. And if you heard the whole interview, then you'd know that the comment really had nothing to do with an STD. He only used herpes as an analogy to illustrate her staying power and her determination to stay relevant and vocal in the GOP, weather they want her to or not. It's really sad to know that in this day & age, there are still adults that can not recognize a simple analogy when one is presented... so very very sad.
Amen!!!!
And to the op, yes - by the way - the same comment about a Democrat would also be fine and in BC then I can only imagine you absolutely can't stand Fox considering they violate the boundaries of what is truth every freakingsomething like this deal with your demise is in BC then I can only imagine you absolutely can't stand Fox considering they violate the boundaries of what "truth" is every freaking hour. feel free to fact check me on that. The Internet has multiple examples with pictures and video and words of how badly they mangle and distort facts.
