Obviously, Sarah Silverman isn’t one to shy away from political activism. Remember the PSA she made in 2008 to try to get elderly Jews to vote? Or the time she promised to bang an old Republican billionaire if he donated a truckload of money to Obama?
Now she’s back with another PSA to increase awareness of the oppressive voter registration laws that have been passed in some states, and it’s pretty damn hilarious — not to mention informative if you’re not up to speed on the efforts to prevent “voter fraud” by Republicans in some states. Short version of her message: make sure the people in your life don’t get “fucked in the a$shole” by “super f*cked up laws,” people who just so happen to be likely to vote for the black guy.

Asking for an ID to vote is no more an infringement on your rights than asking for an ID when you buy booze.
If that makes me a racist, then point me to the nearest cross-burning.
Anybody else think the vulgarity is kinda working against her? It’s like she’s sticking to a formula where 15.5% must be pushing boundaries. It doesn’t faze me, but I’m just thinking of people for whom this message is intended.
All of these people mentioned that are affected by voter ID laws use vulgarity on a regular basis. I count (technically) as three out of four of the targeted ass rape victims, and I hear my grandfather cursing once every 30 seconds. A swear word doesn’t magically do harm to people, it’s used for shock. She wants to keep your attention. Focus on the point of the PSA, not the word fuck. Also, RomanCandle, you implied that you were a racist by mentioning it after a statement that had no direct link to racism. The problem with the law is that it works it’s way around the 15th amendment by making it harder for people to vote, and will prevent an insignificant amount of fraudulent votes. Republicans have been gaffing so much that it should be clear to both sides. I’m wasting my time, regardless, because after the 47% video Romney is fucked.
There is no such thing as an “insignificant” amount of voter fraud.
what about 0.00000001%?
It’s laughable that people make a big deal out of having to verify your identity before voting. Is that so hard?
If you want to vote, be prepared to identify yourself as a legal voter. Simple as that. If you can’t then you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
@Calvin he didn’t imply he was racist he was preparing for the inevitable “YOU’RE RACIST” responses that follow any statement one makes regarding not wanting illegals voting in our country.
Since you’re fond of cursing I’ll go ahead and say I don’t give a fuck what color someone is as long as they are legal. They are welcome to vote even if they are stupid enough to drink Obama’s liar’s Koolaid.
You’re right though, Romney is fucked and so is this country because both of the options for president are piles of shit.
This.
I’m so into you, Sarah.
On the off chance that Sarah actually reads this….I’d just like to say that fuzz-muff or not, I would spend hours eating that dirty Jew snatch of hers.
