“Bush=Hitler” OK but must not joke about Obama
We read:
“Canada’s public broadcaster was wrong to show a skit that joked about the possible assassination of US President Barack Obama and suggested he could be a thief, an industry panel ruled today. The New Year’s Eve Bye Bye comedy program – shown by the French-language Radio Canada network – generated more than 200 complaints.
In one segment, two hosts discussed Mr Obama’s election in November 2008.
“We’re not racists. It will be good to have a Negro in the White House,” one of the show’s hosts remarked. “It will be practical. Black on white, it will be easier to shoot him.”
The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council said it found “nothing redeeming in the allegedly comedic notion that an American president should be shot, still less that this would be easier to achieve because of the colour of the president’s skin”. “It was a disturbing, wounding, abusive racial comment.”

Actually, it all makes perfect sense.
“W” has a sense of humor, so anything goes when talking about him.
“The One”, poor soul, hasn’t a trace, so making fun of HIM is just plain mean, like ridiculing the handicapped.
Clear?
