Women’s shelter looks down on ‘gang rape’ jokes October 01, 2008 | by MP
A Boston rape shelter has cancelled a planned appearance by Sandra Bernhard, who joked that Palin would be “gang-raped” by blacks in New York.
A women’s shelter on Wednesday cut headliner Sandra Bernhard from its annual benefit after she said Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be gang-raped if she ever visited New York.
Bernhard’s made the remarks last month during her one-woman show in Washington D.C., before Palin visited New York to campaign. Bernhard said Palin would be “gang-raped by my big black brothers” during a diatribe in which she also criticized Palin for opposing abortion rights.
Many guests at Rosie’s Place, a Boston shelter, have been victims of violence, public relations director Leemarie Mosca said.
“In light of our mission, we don’t think violence against women is a laughing matter,” she said.
Mosca said the shelter expected to book a replacement before the Oct. 16 luncheon “Funny Women … Serious Business.”
