Failed Comedian Doug Stanhope's Tasteless Pro-Abortion Publicity Stunt

As a comedian, Doug Stanhope may be an abject failure, but at least he has the smarts to know how a career is jumpstarted. He has offered Bristol Palin $25,000 to get an abortion:

Rather than sit back and impotently bemoan Bristol's tragic, lonely circumstance, it is time for us — the silent majority — to unite behind this poor, imprisoned woman and save her from both a tyrannical household as well as the horrible nightmare of a forced childbirth.
These are not empty words. I, Doug Stanhope, am offering you, Bristol Palin, the sum of 25,000 dollars so that you can abort your child and move out of that draconian home.

Since this loser is rarely seen even on Comedy Central anymore, where he would get $25,000 is an open question. But at least the kingmakers in the sewer known as the entertainment industry will know he's one of the guys, should they happen to notice his bid for attention.

Here Stanhope presents the moonbat version of family values:

I was once in a similar situation where I'd accidentally impregnated a girl and she had to make that same fateful decision that now faces you. It was easy for her — she didn't have a fascist, oligarch parent, the entire Republican Party or the sneering eyes of the Christian Right to contend with, much less a daft, puppet boyfriend who's just waiting for the cameras to stop rolling so he can bolt like a gazelle.
We made the right choice and rather than end up bitter rivals in court battles over custody or support, we are great friends who high-five over our decision and have all the free time and disposable income that young mothers never know.

Mercifully, their own tin god Darwin will eventually rub vermin like Stanhope out of existence.

Anon, you hit it on the head. It's all about death. It is really hard for some of my good-hearted friends who think liberal to get their minds around this, but it's TRUE!

Also, there is NO limit to how low, how vile, how hateful they will get. I sent VH a tip that I hope he'll print. You won't believe what is circulating in "progressive" Hollywood elite-type circles.

Stay tuned.

This guy is a piece of work. He is remarkably unfunny, and he's one of the most hateful comics working. I long for the days when liberal comics used to, you know, funny when bashing conservatives and Christians. Now they are, like Stanhope, hateful, bitter, bilious and remarkably unfunny. Even Whoopi Goldberg's bits are funnier that this piece of human excrement.

Deathcult is right. Stanhope is a comedian whose standup is built around killing anything remotely humorous with his deranged tirades. Kill the funny, Dan. Keep on killing the funny.

I'm mystified by the fact that someone who has been on TV a few times warrents ANY attention. I love comedy and good comics are some of the brightest people around - agree or disagree - they tend to lock in on the human condition and make it funny. A failed comic seems to me like a guy that has run the Peter Principle as far as possible and goes back to his day job as an overnight guy on the local FM station - so why does he matter?

So a child had to die so that you could enjoy "all the free time and disposable income" you would have otherwise missed out on.

As I explained yesterday in the open thread (I think that's where it surfaced), I've disliked Stanhope ever since he and Joe Rogan ran the Man Show into the ground in just a single season. When Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel hosted it, it was easily one of the funniest shows I EVER saw in my life, but Stanhope and Rogan made it into an absolute crap factory. It would have been better to just cancel it outright when Adam and Jimmy decided to leave. Ever since then, my dislike of Stanhope has increased with every high profile thing he's done (Which isn't saying much, but you get the idea). He's always been about as funny as a train wreck.

Posted by: Adam at September 18, 2008 1:45 PM

He just had sell-out shows in London's west end and has recieved minimum 4-star reviews in his recent reviews. He can fill any comedy club on any night and charge upwards of $1000 for an hour's work. He's a real failure!

Attack what the guy says, that's fair enough - but spluttering lies and ignorance of your target is just plain stupid.

Posted by: faceless at September 18, 2008 2:20 PM

Stanhope sucks and he's a failure. Whatcha going to do, bucko?

Posted by: The Truth at September 18, 2008 2:36 PM

I'd have to say that 4 star reviews of this foul, disgusting, hateful excuse for a comedian tell me more about people in London's West End than about his "success". No wonder the UK is going straight into the crapper.

1. "SavingBristol.com" aside, I wish people would abandon the misnomer "pro-abortion." Even the staunchest liberal doesn't get up in the morning and scan the obits for fetuses.

2. Stanhope's comedy isn't for everyone, but the reason you don't see him on Comedy Central is not because he's a failure but because he's not clean/vanilla enough for basic cable. Perhaps you missed the hour special he did for ShoTime just last year.

3. The Palins are being heralded as somehow heroic because of this unplanned teen pregnancy. Anyone whose mother was not on a presidential ticket would be labeled 'white trash' for that. Sarah P. asked that the matter be kept private, then she trotted Bristol and the hockey redneck out on the national stage for some hand-holdin' photo ops - this from the party that wants to make EVERYONE'S sexual/reproductive lives a matter of party business. Stanhope's site may be crude, but it highlights serious issues raised by this whole Palin affair - issues Americans think and talk about but the media doesn't except in the most banal ways.

"Stanhope sucks and he's a failure. Whatcha going to do, bucko?"

Did I really just read the word "bucko?" Is this a web log or 'Happy Days?'

I cringe to know what most of you consider quality entertainment. Like most fascistic fundamentalists, I'm not at all surprised to hear the typical rhetoric and paranoia about the entertainment industry.

Why don't you people just crawl back into a hole with your 'Touched by an Angel' vhs tapes and abject hatred of anything different than you and quit browbeating others for their choice of art and entertainment.

One thing I know Stanhope is right about is the "daft, puppet boyfriend." Holy shit, did that guy run into a sanctimony buzzsaw or what? When this whole thing blows over, and McCain loses in November, I predict he'll be long gone before that kid takes its first breath. Unless Bristol takes the money, that is.

Also, the format of this comments section sucks harder than the vacuum at a planned parenthood clinic.

The Palins are being heralded as somehow heroic because of this unplanned teen pregnancy. Anyone whose mother was not on a presidential ticket would be labeled 'white trash' for that.

So was Ann Dunham white trash? Let's see, at age 17 she was banging a married 25 year old Kenyan, becoming knocked up within days of her 18th birthday (11/29/60; Obama was born on 8/4/61 - do the math). She married the playa bigamously in Feb. 1961 (i.e., three months pregnant) in what was obviously a shotgun marriage. Dad the alcoholic abandons family permanently two years later (and evades any financial responsibility), so Mom swans off to Indonesia, sends Jr. back by UPS, fobbing the future doper off on the long-suffering grandparents, whom the doper later craps on publicly. Meanwhile, Dad practices his drunk driving skills until he takes one drive too many.

I believe we were discussing white trash? Obama must be grateful there was no Jerry Springer Show around then.

Hey Deb and Chooky...I think I figured out your problem: this isn't the Daily Kos. And your attempt at sounding moderate isn't getting any traction.

The Chook-man blew what little cover you had when he started calling us fascists. Yep...you CAN NOT go for more than two or three sentences without bringing up fascists, Nazis, KKK and the like. Keep up the libelous rhetoric, guys. It just emphasizes who and what you are.

Oh, and Chook-man? If you can't figure out that your name is at the bottom of the post, I'd suggest that you have bigger problems than us fascists here at MB.

Oh, yeah, like these libertarians who say that DS children should be put to death because they aren't worth the resources to raise them. Selfish turds like those guys and Douche Stanhope are why I'm no longer a Libertarian.

And I don't believe the "nobody is pro-abortion" bullcrap. Douche Stanhope and his slut girlfriend high-fiving over their abortion? Sounds pretty pro-abortion to me. Planned Parenthood making a billion dollars a year off abortion. Yeah, they're pro-abortion.

Face it, right-wingers oppose abortion because we don't believe in destroying innocent human life for the sake of convenience. Lefties are pro-abortion because they want to have sex without consequences.

Posted by: V the K at September 18, 2008 6:52 PM

These trolls aren't from the Daily Kos. They're hopping over from 4Chan. I'm guessing their attempts to hack into Palin's email account and subsequent media attention has made them bolder than normal.

Stephanie, I'm sure there were some Nazi comedians who made death camp jokes. Doesn't make them alright nor funny.

Oh well, here we go again. They jump on here, spew hate and foul language (at about a third grade level) then disappear, sit back in mom's basement and get the only sexual gratification they can achieve. Very much like the behavior of flasher-style exhibitionists.

Posted by: matt at September 19, 2008 7:02 PM

Like him or hate him, Stanhope is by far the most respected comedian amongst comedians in the world. His newest caper may be vile and disgusting and in poor taste, but so was Jonathan Swift when he wrote his satirical masterpiece, "A Modest Proposal" in which he suggested that the best way to end famine, would be to eat babies...and this was well over a hundred years ago.

perhaps this sick stunt is meant for us to examine something about our own ideals, the way we live, and the judgements we make...?

but probably not...so fuck him

Posted by: xantl at September 20, 2008 12:29 AM

Doug Stanhope has a bitter style of comedy that doesn't appeal to your soccer mom, pot-luck at church crowd. He is and always will be a very respected comedian whether you like it or not.

His stuff is 100% honest and that's hard to find these days when you are being spoonfed the same canned horseshit day after day after day.

Keep it up Doug!

Think what you want about the politics of abortion, but Doug Stanhope is far from a "failed comedian". He is one of the most brilliant comedians ever to come out of the United States.

Stanhope will be remembered long after he's dead. He has a hugely intelligent brain that works like no one else's.

Salut, Doug Stanhope! You have expanded my imagination and altered the way I look at the world!

Posted by: Lars at September 21, 2008 4:42 PM

Doug will always be a "failed comedian" in the eyes of the mental midgets who infest America, because he mixes a potent dose of truth into his hilarious commentary.

Retarded America will always make "successful comedians" out of dumb rednecks who tell endless fart jokes and other mentally-challenged dingleberries who smash watermelons with sledgehammers.

Posted by: Futt Buckley at September 21, 2008 4:43 PM

Regarding death camp jokes being made by Nazis:

1. I do think you should be able to "make fun" of literally anything. However, not everyone will find everything funny.

2. I wouldn't find a death camp joke funny if a Nazi was telling it. But if Doug Stanhope was telling it, it would probably be funny, because I know he's not a Nazi.

Doug is the truth. You have been brainwashed into believing that his humor is this evil, ungodly, 'tasteless' type.

Doug would be famous if the world's population consisted of high IQs. Instead, morons listen to dane cook's shitty 'works' and think that it is true comedy, even though it is just like the rest of the popular media in this country. That's right, dumbed down so it can be sold and marketed to and enjoyed by the lowest echelon of the population. The commoners, the proletariat. You morons eat it up while avoiding discussion of the real issues, and avoiding the crazy ideas of formulating your own opinions. And where is this publicized? Unless it is on FOX news, or some other channel that nobody except the murderous, judgmental Christian right watches, I have not seen Doug Stanhope get any publicity out of this.

Try again morons

Posted by: The Truth at September 26, 2008 2:43 PM

explain to me how you Christian right-wingers can judge somebody, when Jesus told you not to pass judgment on people. Can you not just let your god handle all of this bullshit like he said he will? You truly believe in all of that, right?

I am sure you would enjoy killing somebody like Doug, even though your good Christian values prohibit things like that. You are all completely contradictory.

Every sperm cell is a potential baby. No matter what, every sperm cell will not make it. One may, millions certainly won't, and that is just for one man.

And if you are so against murder, why are your soldiers fucking murdering babies and pregnant women in Iraq? YOU CANNOT JUSTIFY MURDER, NO MATTER WHAT THE AGE IS.

So if your going to cry about abortions, lets be consistent and quit having your evil fucking children viciously MURDERING people in Iraq. They are all fucking murderers, and if there is truly a Jesus, he will send these fucking soldiers, who signed up to KILL PEOPLE, straight to hell, before he starts worrying about abortions. Go read your ten commandments and tell me which ones you are openly violating. Then tell me where it says in the bible that abortion is a sin..........
