In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender,
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of
the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood
comedy club.
A video <http://www.laughfactory.com/channels/new-releases/1977> of the
short performance, which is less than three minutes, is posted on the
website of the renowned club, Laugh Factory, and the Clinton campaign has
tried to censor it. Besides demanding that the video be taken down, the
Clinton campaign has demanded the personal contact information of the
performers that appear in the recording. This is no laughing matter for
club owner Jamie Masada, a comedy guru who opened Laugh Factory more than
three decades ago and has been instrumental in launching the careers of
many famous comics. “They threatened me,” Masada told Judicial Watch. “I
have received complains before but never a call like this, threatening to
put me out of business if I don’t cut the video.”
Practically all of the country’s most acclaimed comedians have performed
at the Laugh Factory and undoubtedly they have offended politicians and
other well-known personalities with their standup routines. Tim Allen,
Jay Leno, Roseanne Bar, Drew Carey, George Carlin, Jim Carrey, Martin
Lawrence, Jerry Seinfeld and George Lopez are among the big names that
have headlined at the Laugh Factory. The First Amendment right to free
speech is a crucial component of the operation, though Masada drew the
line a few years ago banning performers—including African Americans—from
using the “n-word” in their acts.
The five short performances that Clinton wants eliminated include some
profanity and portions could be considered crass, but some of the lines
are funny and that’s what the Laugh Factory is all about. The video
features the individual acts of five comedians, four men and a woman. The
skits make fun of Clinton’s wardrobe, her age, sexual orientation, the
Monica Lewinsky scandal and the former First Lady’s relationship with her
famous husband. The Laugh Factory has appropriately titled it “Hillary
vs. The First Amendment.”
Masada told Judicial Watch that, as soon as the video got posted on the
Laugh Factory website, he received a phone call from a “prominent” person
inside Clinton’s campaign. “He said the video was disgusting and asked
who put me up to this,” Masada said. The Clinton staffer, who Masada did
not want to identify, also demanded to know the names and phone numbers
of the comedians that appear in the video. Masada refused and hung up. He
insists that the comedy stage is a sanctuary for freedom of speech no
matter who is offended. “Just last night we had (Emmy-award winner) Dana
Carvey doing Donald Trump and it was hilarious,” Masada said.

Obama Nine Hours Before Paris Terror Attack: "We've Contained ISIS"
"Never underestimate the willingness of white progressives to be offended
on behalf of people who aren’t and to impose their will on those who
didn’t ask for it." (Derek Hunter)
"Liberals never argue with one another over substance; their only dispute
is how to prevent the public from figuring out what they really
believe." (Ann Coulter)
