Not Knowing Your Audience...

...Can get you in trouble:

30 Rock comic Tracy Morgan is under pressure to apologise after reportedly launching a vicious homophobic tirade during his stand-up show.

The comedian allegedly said that homosexuality was ‘bullshit’ and said that if his son announced that he was gay he’ would ‘pull out a knife and stab that little nigger to death’.

Audience member Kevin Rogers described the incident on Facebook, insisting: ‘The sad thing is that none of this rant was a joke. His entire demeanour changed during that portion of the night.He was truly filled with some hate towards us.....

Morgan has not yet issued any statement about the row – despite calls for him to explain himself, led by campaign group Truth Wins Out....

The group also called on 30 Rock producer and star Tina Fey, who has long supported gay causes, to ‘forthrightly condemn any sort of anti-gay hatred’.

Yes, if you are going to talk about stabbing people make it someone who liberals would laugh about stabbing, like Catholics, or Tea Party people, or Sarah Palin, that way they would be totally cool with it.
