Here are a small fraction of the Tweets sent to her. If Hillary wasn’t a Democrat, Democrats would be calling for her imprisonment. THAN YOU ARE MAKING IT! They’re a bit like the people who thought Stalin was too lax in the forced collectivizations and wanted the USSR to get more serious about violently spreading revolution to other countries. That's it. Ted Cruz. Sad. If people care more about the causes than getting the opportunity to be smug, they’ll put the work in on the non-presidential years too. This cultural trend means: Abandon your minds, sheeple, and do not independently asses the ideas put forth by others. Thus it’s not at all “clear” that it was a reference to right-wing theories. I can’t even tell if the “liberals are humorless” posts are referencing the liberals who threatened Kirkman for not liking her jokes or if they’re saying we’re humorless because we don’t think the misogyny directed at her is funny. (((VioletBeauregarde))): Prominent Misanderer of the Gynocracy. Oh yes, it’s sooooo progressive to call refugees invaders. Even if that op ed from a little known blog was convincing, consider on that list of tactics not one of them was threaten a comic who happens to support the opposing candidate en masse. The issue is the entire antivaxx stance is based on a known medical fraud perpetrated by Andrew Wakefield: Why? Kirkman’s thread was launched after a Twitter user criticized her for having a chance to expose C.K. The joke seemed to reference drone strikes, and riff on hardcore Hillary supporters who try to spin everything she does as positive. Kirkman produces I Seem Fun: The Diary Of Jen Kirkman, her own weekly podcast, and has made several appearances on The Crabfeast podcast, which is … IT IS SO MUCH SIMPLER AND WAY MORE FUN (it's punk rock!!!) that was intense. How did that turn out? Her last stand-up special, Jen Kirkman: I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine), premiered there in 2015. The people bombarding Kirkman with threats and abuse aren’t Trump fans. I don’t know who Jen Kirkman is, but I’m instinctively on her side. Feb 10. It’s for anyone who is, ever has been or ever might be one. Sad, but not surprised. If I may suggest a moment of honest reflection here…. Yeah she didn’t say a damn thing about vaccines causing autism, She’s an antivaxer, who says stupid shit about autism. JEN KIRKMAN ‍ retweeted. Jen Kirkman made a joke on Twitter yesterday that set up a big chain of events ending with Kirkman saying she’s taking time away from tweeting and reading tweets. You know, the Russian dictator whose actual non-fictional not-a-joke STALIN BODY COUNT added up to something close to 20 million. Orac’s in-depth analysis of Jill Stein’s antivaccine dog whistles is here and it is worth a read. =P. It’s normal. In most countries, people trust their regulatory agencies and have very high rates of vaccination through voluntary programs. There are many possible responses to that fact, but “haha I think it’s great” isn’t a particularly tasteful one. Or dead Pakistanis cos fuck them for harbouring bin Laden, right Axecalibur? In a world of Netflix specials and podcasts and Twitter, why would a stand-up comedian still put out an old-fashioned comedy album? Hillary and Obama went to war in Libya without congressional approval. Stein is a delusional crank. I shared to mock (especially in contrast with what we’re seeing here and in the anti-Semitic and misognist memes against Clinton seen in other WHTM posts), not praise. In 2009, Entertainment Weekly named her one of the "Top 12 Rising Stars in Comedy," and in May 2010, both MSN and The Huffington Post named her one of the top comedians to follow on social networking service Twitter. Her writing has appeared in GQ, ELLE, the Toast, the New Yorker, Tthe Hairpin, BuzzFeed, Racked, Eater, Catapult, and others. She is the co-author of 'Dad Magazine,' the author of 'The Book Of Lost Recipes,' and the co-author of 'Basic Witches. Were his previous posts deleted, or did I see him elsewhere? It is just one of many which show there is some serious, SERIOUS hatred and violence infused rhetoric on the Left. The Left is, in fact, in denial about the amount of hate which exists in it’s ranks. A polished hour that finds Kirkman waxing rhapsodic on everything from meditation to abortion, Just Keep Livin’? He’s a fundie creationist type. Where exactly does feminism say women shouldn’t be criticised? Jen Kirkman is a stand-up comedian and the author of the book “I Can Barely Take Care of Myself ” which became an instant New York Times Bestseller when it was released in April 2013. But they’re not so far to the left that they will rally behind an ideologically pure progressive candidate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMR_vaccine_controversy. I found this out after reading the following op-ed: Little did we know, the media was actually pulling its punches. This Is my OWN Conclusion refers to a series of tweets made in parody of a theory put forth on Twitter by comedian Jen Kirkman that Bernie Sanders was a paid "chaos agent" employed by the Russians in the 2016 United States Presidential Election. Not only do I not like any of those things, I don’t believe Hillary’s actions lead to those things. Would love your thoughts, please comment. © They just laugh at ridicule of people or causes they don’t like. Or maybe that entire thing was meant ironically? Take note of the doubtful, introspective tone of the comment you obviously didn’t comprehend. Hope that helps!! Local politics and midterm elections are so much more important for advancing progressivism. Most people in the US are moderately liberal even if they vote for Republican candidates for other reasons. Comedian Jen Kirkman is not quitting Twitter, but not not quitting Twitter, either, after tweeting a questionable joke about Hillary Clinton. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield#Fraud_and_conflict_of_interest_allegations U.S. foreign policy actually does kill people. You sounded so reasonable until you hit the “unhinged-Muslim-hating-racist-Donald-Trump” macro. (Sorry, this embed was not found.) Yeah she didn’t say a damn thing about vaccines causing autism. Instead, accept “the consensus,” and be driven by your feelings; human whim will lead to a better world; majority whim, “democracy,” is the ideal. It s a joke about the right-wing idiots who think that Hillary goes around offing people like some pastel-pantsuited Tony Soprano. Jen Kirkman Talks Russian Twitter Bots | What A Joke | Netflix Is … o.O. The analysis in this post is pretty poorly thought out. The world’s population was 4,003,448,151 and there were an estimated 121,673,775 babies born throughout the world in 1974, Richard Nixon (Republican) was the president of the United States, and the number one song on Billboard 100 was "(You're) Having My Baby" by Paul Anka with Odia Coates. So are you going to respond to the point that others have made about you sizing the symbol “female” in order to shame someone when you are yourself using it in a bigoted manner? I can see where if someone were younger (or hadn’t been following the “controversies” for the last couple of decades) and had heard a lot of talk about Hillary being a hawk, they might interpret it that way and assume it was a comment about the recent military actions abroad. You just spent a week Twitter-feuding with Seth Rogen. She also says she’s received death threats and other abuse. Jen Kirkman criticized Jezebel both on Twitter and to other outlets, implying that we had somehow spearheaded a campaign against her in order to … @Repentantphonebooth: In a display of shameless schadenfreude, the media gleefully mocked Sanders supporters for being emotionally weak and cognitively damaged. Of course death threats and harassment are indefensible, but it’s dishonest to suggest that Kirkman was 100% right and her only critics are misogynistic bros. I’ll grant you that. Take that, weirwoodtreehugger, Scented Fucking Hard Chairs, Paradoxical Intention, Johanna Roberts, and others including me! Saying a shitty thing is shitty, and bringing a dead loved one into a discussion is low, but is it twitter hordes low? I’ve been lax on bans in this thread so far but that’s over now. Most of the actual leftists who got angry at the tweet seemed too feel that it was a reference to Hillary’s foreign policies killing people in other countries and not to the right-wing conspiracy theories like Vince Foster. Before we look at what happened after she posted this Tweet (which has now been deleted), let me just say a couple of things about the Tweet itself. Just remember, on Twitter, nobody can hear your tone. I don’t believe any of them were deficient enough not to understand there was some irony at play, they were just sore because they were being dismissed and so they lashed out like an army of screaming children. (*I’m so old I remember who Hillary Clinton was before she murdered Vince Foster! Folks “progressively” making those twitter threats, with those words, and simultaneously not getting the (older than the Internet) joke liberals have been making* since Newt Gingrich was on his first wife? If you think that being a feminist means all women should be immune to criticism, then you’re not one. Or dead Pakistanis cos fuck them for harbouring bin Laden, right Axecalibur? If so, oops, sorry, hugs, love you! You see, Patton made a joke about the president being bipolar or something, and he started receiving some pissed off tweets from people who (rightly imo) believe that stigmatizes the mentally ill. One such person linked Oswald’s heartfelt essay about his deceased wife to a tweet that read something like ‘I can’t believe you could say those things after writing this’. ... Second of all, back in 2012/2013, Twitter used to be fun. Democrats want a week of political theater raging at Donald Trump instead of focusing on reopening schools or getting millions of Americans back to work. Of course, this is Paste Magazine, which also had a recent piece on why Clinton can’t be trusted to appoint a better Supreme Court nominee than Trump (mostly due to her VP Kaine and because of Citizens United: “Equally distressing to this half-measure talk is the reality that without the controversial 2010 court ruling there would be no Hillary Clinton nomination.”). @scentedfuckinghardchairs- so it would seem. Twitter Tags jen kirkman, bernie sanders, russia, parody, twitter Additional References Twitter About. And yes, that last dude is using a photo of a young Josef Stalin as his avatar. We’re good, man. @SFHC Are you maybe thinking of Ken Hovind? I don’t know if we have an “official” stance, but I can tell you my personal stance at this point. Jen Kirkman is a lefty sort of comic. Jen Kirkman performs Friday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Wilbur, 246 Tremont St, Boston. And, even then, I don’t want them imprisoned for the war itself, nor the aftermath. She could have said literally anything. You see, the humour device I am using here is called irony. Hillary and Obama went to war in Libya without congressional approval, If Hillary wasn’t a Democrat, Democrats would be calling for her imprisonment, I should hope not. 2021 We Hunted The Mammoth. Oh wow, it is true- you really think the best time to talk about your favourite candidate is during the harassment campaign of a female comic by your fellow bernie bros. I think dropping vaccinations rates that can and must be fixed in order to get at the vaccination issue: the widespread distrust of the medical-indsutrial complex. A+ feminism. The next time your read or hear something talking about all the “hatred” and “vitriol” coming from the right, keep this little incident in mind. @kettle- Irony is when the intended meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning. And thanks, Violet!! Aside from Ray and Hartzell, Mahoney was oftentimes associated with stand-up comedian Jen Kirkman (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Chelsea Lately) as the two were married from 2009 to 2011.

Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Now she’s back with another, Jen Kirkman: Just Keep Livin’?, which is available now on the streaming service. Is this "intersectional feminism"? PS David gets all the feminism points for implying that a female presidential candidate should drop out because she’s making things difficult. What are you hoping for, that someone is going to feel sorry for bernie supporters? ), (Also anyone who’s been on Drunk History? I’d like to know where all these Bernie or bust and/or Jill Stein people were in 2014, 2010 or hell, even odd number years have local elections. Fuck dead Pakistanis just as much as dead Iraqis or Afghanis. If it was the former, they’d be posting it on Twitter towards the harassers, not here towards us. It’s why I included myself as one of people hit by the “take that”. … And that’s actually what got a bunch of bernie bros jammies in a knot. Jen Kirkman ... Posted on February 26, 2009 | 4 comments. Comedian Jen Kirkman talks about Boston, her new comedy album, and if Elizabeth Warren's Twitter crusade against Donald Trump has been effective. But Wodun, I LIKE that Hillary lead to the rise of ISIS, sex slavery, genocide, religious persecution, hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced, a refugee invasion of Europe, hundreds of terrorist attacks, dead Americans in Benghazi, dead Americans in Europe, and misery and suffering in general. And people wonder why the world is crumbling. It’s a name with a story, but for another day……. Turning around with “You’re not allowed to criticise Stein because she’s a woman” is beyond hypocritical. 2016 Democrats: Actually, murder is good and every war Clinton escalates and initiates will be awesome@JenKirkman pic.twitter.com/eje3RMlQXx, — Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) August 4, 2016, So, progressive Hillarybots – are you going to stand by @JenKirkman on this? ‘Vote Stein, the candidate for the sociopathic troll!’. In today’s anti-intellectual environment, anything that causes “uneasy feelings” is attempted to be suppressed. However, Oswald took a screenshot, which is now on his twitter wall. Liberals don’t have a real sense of humor. In Milan Kundera’s The Joke, set in Communist Czechoslovakia in the 1950s, a young Czech intellectual and Communist Party member is tossed from the party and sent to work in the mines after he jokingly writes “long live Trotsky” on a postcard. https://t.co/UKDs8KQrsF, — Galway Curiousblue (@iamcuriousblue) August 4, 2016, https://twitter.com/lastlivingrose/status/760999815778041856, https://twitter.com/STLeftist/status/761313833012998144. The issue has nothing to do with the FDA or ‘Big Pharma’. In another fighting move of his own, Callan took to Twitter on Wednesday to try to bait Drunk History regular Jen Kirkman to join him on his newly launched podcast on … If Stein can’t figure that out, she’s too dumb to be in politics. Perhaps, she should quit being so hamfisted and say what she means. Facebook Twitter … I’ve seen enough to decide. What I said was that, on a visceral, desensitized, 9/11 happened before I had most of my permanent teeth level, drones in Pakistan don’t phase me. Curiously, the criticism is much harsher than anything we see hurled at people supporting Trump… you know… the fascist whose potential presidency makes not supporting Clinton such an act of lunacy. She’s a random asshole who said a random asshole thing. Jen Kirkman is no stranger to Netflix. She also supports funding to organic farming. Ya know, actual crimes. There is no scientific evidence that organic food is healthier than non-organic food and higher cost would be a food security issue. Returning to share this with y ’ all found.
