Too many people can't take a joke. O and A are good guys and if they saw someone being raped, they would try to stop it. I have no doubt in my mind.

Are you guys telling me that you have never laughed at a joke that makes fun of someone or shotcomings of others? Just because you laugh, doesn't mean you agree with what the Charlie the homeless guy says.

A : NO
For the record, Just because you laugh, doesn't mean you agree with it.

It's a comedy show. They DON"T agree with raping women. They never said the rape stuff. The laughed more at Charlie, not the rape part. I don't think they said anything about beating women up.

Ok, punching her in the face.

At this point we'll just agree to disagree. Like I said I put no they shouldn't be fired but it doesn't surprise me that they were.

My partial transcript:
O or A: I just imagine the horror in Condoleezza Rice's face as you were just like holding her down and $%$#% her.
Homeless guy: Punch her [unintelligible] in the #$#$# face.
O or A: That's exactly what I meant.

Laughing is heard throughout.

It's a freakin comedy show. They look for the laughs. I agree, we agree to disagree, but I think we all just need to lighten up. If they were serious, I would understand their suspension and your comments.

By the way, by saying 'holding her down' does that have to mean,she's being forced, not necessarily IMO.

I'm sure everyone here watches movies that go to far with sex and jokes, but why is that different?

How about the "horror in her eyes" and the punches to the face? Would that convince you they were talking about rape?
