Search: Women's shelter cuts Bernhard after gang-rape line

"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 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."
