It's only an error if you don't want to acknowledge what makes your audience laugh and vote.

I promise you Libs laugh at those jokes too.    
The time and the place matters.  Doing those jokes at a political rally is just stupid because it allows your opponent to make ads without the comedy context.  Everyone is saying those jokes were ad lobbed and not vetted.  It’s an error to have that type of comic at that type of venue.

The three jokes in question would have drawn cringes in any comedy club I've been too. The insult is the joke. There's not even a "make you think" twist. 

Dave Chappelle is vastly more talented at handling risky material, and he's having a bit of trouble with it, too.

Comedy is tough when you're punching down. 

And let's be honest, Hinchcliffe was playing to the crowd. That's the point.

Reminds me of the Andrew Dice Clay schtick of the 80s-90s...offensive on purpose for shock value.

Similar for sure. Same bro culture schtick. Not particularly clever, just the fact that he's willing to say the ugly part out loud. 

I can't pinpoint the difference, but Ricky Gervais gets away with some of this stuff by being much, much funnier. He's taken heat for it, too.

Well, you’ve had the most Liberal of Liberals in Hispanic comedians George Lopez and John Leguizamo make fun of Hispanics for stealing everything, Jamaican women for only being able to be Housemaids who smoke weed and Jews being good with money.    Doesn’t seem to be a Left Right thing about being crude and more of a comedy thing in general
