Bill Maher defends Rush Limbaugh for 'slut' apology

What does Maher have to do with anything!?!?!! Why the **** do you guys keep bringing him up?

The answer is a no-brainer. It's because they are unable to defend Rush.
 
Yeah but what does it have to do with anything? What exactly is DarkWizard12 asking of everyone when it comes to Maher vs Limbaugh?

Apparently you slept through three separate threads in which you participated heavily.

Look, we get it; you've got a gigantic double standard and you don't want people to bring it up. But really, do you think no one will notice?

Have you been unconscious the past few days or something?

So if people say, "yeah Maher is a dick", you'll say Rush is a dick? And then we are good?

I just don't see the point. It's like if someone was talking about Ted Bundy being a psycho for killing women (but he's conservative) so someone gets mad and points out that Charles Mason was liberal and killed people. Ok great. What the **** does that change?

I never said he wasn't wrong for saying what he said. In fact, in another thread you slept through, I was quite clear that he crossed the line. (Which didn't stop you from saying I was "defending" him.)

It's about the double standard. You've been defending THAT quite ferociously.

Why is it a double standard? I didn't even know he called her a **** because I don't watch his show. And now he doesn't have a show.

No, it's nothing like that at all. :shock:

If I thought it would make a difference, I'd link back to about 50 posts of yours where all of this has already been discussed, but I guess your new game is playing dumb, as if none of it happened.

No reason to waste that time.

Your ignorance of the topic doesn't make it less of a double standard in the media.

You mean because I said I am not pissed at Bill Maher?

Was it a double standard in the media?
 
Yeah. That's about it for you.

Seems like he is getting tons of press right now, there were petitions from women's rights organizations, and he is now off the air. You want him in the stockade as well?
 
So I guess I have to just keep repeating this, since no conservative will address it; Palin is a public figure. Fluke was not.

Did anyone threaten to boycott Limbaugh when he accused the President of the United States of sending troops to Uganda to kill Christians, or when he claimed that Obama "supported" the murder of Christians in Egypt? I don't think so.

Here is what the bloated gasbag said about Obama allegedly targeting Christians in Uganda:

Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. It means God. I was only kidding. Lord's Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them. That's what the lingo means, "to help regional forces remove from the battlefield," meaning capture or kill.
So that's a new war, a hundred troops to wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda, and -- (interruption) no, I'm not kidding. Jacob Tapper just reported it. Now, are we gonna help the Egyptians wipe out the Christians? Wouldn't you say that we are? I mean the Coptic Christians are being wiped out, but it wasn't just Obama that supported that. The conservative intelligentsia thought it was an outbreak of democracy. Now they've done a 180 on that, but they forgot that they supported it in the first place. Now they're criticizing it.

Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here. "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people." Now, again Lord's Resistance Army is who Obama sent troops to help nations wipe out. The objectives of the Lord's Resistance Army, what they're trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following: "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people; to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda; to see an end to gross violation of human rights and dignity of Ugandans; to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Uganda, to ensure unity, sovereignty, and economic prosperity beneficial to all Ugandans, and to bring to an end the repressive policy of deliberate marginalization of groups of people who may not agree with the LRA ideology." Those are the objectives of the group that we are fighting, or who are being fought and we are joining in the effort to remove them from the battlefield.

And what was the ACTUAL story?

In 2005, a warrant was issued for [the arrest of the head of the LRA] in the International Criminal Court. "The LRA has engaged in a cycle of violence and established a pattern of 'brutalization of civilians' by acts including murder, abduction, sexual enslavement, mutilation, as well as mass burnings of houses and looting of camp settlements; that abducted civilians, including children, are said to have been forcibly "recruited" as fighters, porters and sex slaves to serve the LRA and to contribute to attacks against the Ugandan army and civilian communities

Limbaugh is a lying sack of ****.

Hmmm. I asked earlier in the thread -- if it's OK to say horrible misogynist things about Sarah Palin because she's a public figure, is it OK to say horrible racist things about Barack Obama, because he is, too?

Your answer, if you wish to remain intellectually consistent, must be "yes."

(Not that this "public figure" excuse isn't a whole bunch of hooey anyway. It's trying to apply a legal standard to something where it just doesn't matter.)

By conservative logic, used against Clinton and his daughter, and Kerry when he ran, the answer would be yes.

And we do hear such nearly daily, here and on Fox. ;):peace

He does all the time. He always refers to him as Barack Hussein Obama and has, in the past, referred to him as a "half-minority".
