While U.S. citizens struggle to find work and pay their mortgages in this stagnant economy, while terrorists target the West for attack and the world descends into violent chaos, it is good to know the Democratic presidential frontrunner has her priorities straight. 

A new report issued by the legal monitoring organization, Judicial Watch, reveals that Hillary Clinton is using her resources to assail five comedians who made fun of her during skits performed at the famed Hollywood "Laugh Factory." 

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.”

Above is the video currently targeted by the Clinton campaign for censorship. According to Judicial Watch, in addition to demanding that Laugh Factory remove the video, Clinton is pushing the comedy club to release the personal contact information of the stand-up comedians featured in it "or else." According to the Laugh Factory's owner, the Clinton campaign has threatened to put him "out of business" if he does not comply. 

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.”

The Laugh Factory is an institution that helped propel the careers of many famed comics including Jay Leno, Roseanne Bar, Drew Carey, Jim Carrey, Martin Lawrence, Jerry Seinfeld and others. Naturally, politicians of all walks have always served as comic-fodder for performers, but Masada claims that as soon as the Clinton-skits were posted on his website, the shake-down began. The club owner told Judicial watch that he received a call from a “prominent” person inside the Clinton campaign demanding to know the identities of the comics.

“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.

At least Hillary Clinton is staying true to humorless persona and her Alinsky-like tactics.
