Bill Maher defends Rush Limbaugh for 'slut' apology

It tells you that you are wasting your life 3-4 times a month, bro. do you really believe any of these leftists slamming him listen to rush more than maher? I did that once, I forget maybe a couple years ago, some loud mouth hack was yammering on about limbaugh repleat with media matters links and the like. I challenged him to listed each day for a week and I would do the same, we would then discuss what he said.

He, nor anyone else would take up the challenge and freely admitted they do not listen

I listen to Rush's show fairly regularly when I'm in the car -- primarily because there's no progressive talk radio where I live.
 
You don't think so? You get mad every time someone calls a celebrity a ****ty name? You must be mad a lot, because that happens like every day. And you continue to compare Maher and Letterman to Rush... which you have to know is ****ing sad.




So... who watches Bill Maher? Oh wait, no one. Sorry, Rev.

Wow, this is quite an admission that much of the supposed outrage about what Rush said is really just fake, and it has more to do with the fact that it was Rush that said it.
 
and he was oh, so sincere in that apology. "I'm sorry Mom, the liberals made me do it!"



Sorry man, you will need to put more effort into your posts, there is nothing for me to work here as you are just doing what appears a free thought exercise. :shrug:
 
unless of course it's coming from a liberal, then you all just brush it aside.... MIRITE!

Well, when you can offer me a cite with a liberal expousing racist, misoynistic bile, I'll be happy to condemn it. Look, I know you on the Right love things like Rush's song 'Barack the Magic Negro' and couldn't see why anybody might find that offensive, but that era has passed in American politics. I know, it's still hilariously funny to those of you on the Right, but for the rest of us it just reminds us why we are who we are politically.
 

Fluke was planted by Obama to change the direction of the discussion, since he had himself cornered with Catholics and that whole debate. And the media has played along exactly to their role.

He shouldn't have to apologize! Letterman is a comedian. That's his job. That's what comedians do. Just like Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes (or whatever), that's what he is hired to do. They are supposed to tell jokes and push the envelope. Sometimes you go too far, so you just dial it back and keep that in mind.

Do I really need to explain the difference to you guys?



Letterman suggested a 14 year old girl was sleeping with A-rod. If you think that's comedy, you have issues my friend. Should he tell "negro jokes" next? I mean come on it's "comedy"....


btw, rush calls his show a political satire show... he uses absurdity to "explain absurdity"..... hiding behind "oh he's just a comedien" is weak sauce.

Well, I understand the difficulty you have in responding to the truth. It's gets those of you on the Right every time.

But I digress. This constant bashing of women and people with brown skin is a wonderful campaign tactic this year and I sincerely hope you guys keep it up for the entire election cycle. You've permanently lost the black vote, I think making it a trifecta by throwing in the women and hispanics is a wonderful idea.
 

and Rush was planted to say something offensive so that every body in the country become aware that Fluke was planted to appear before congress.
 
Actually show me other than this, when anyone on this forum quoted rush "the next day after his show".... in fact, was this even quoted the next day or was it after several days when the media picked it up....

If I was a betting man, not one liberal heard him call her a slut "live"....

I don't even need to... you can see. They all use his talking points - well, the talking points come from the RNC and then Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc all just spread it like wildfire over the day. Jon Stewart calls them out on it weekly.

But if you really want me to, I'll look and see if I can find it. I mean, if you really want to force me to do that and are trying to make the argument that Maher has any where near the influence that Limbaugh does... then fine, I'll do it.

Dude, he's a comedian. That's not my job to tell him what to do. Personally... I like my comedians to say the most ****ed up **** they can think of.

Do we really need to have a discussion on the relative impact of David Letterman on the Democratic Party versus the impact of Limbaugh with the Right wing party? One guy is a late night comedian. The other runs the Republican Party.

you don't get that song, it was a parody of what a democrat called Obama.


(Affect(ing) a black accent to recount San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asking) "Who is this "Emily List? She's supportin' all these people. She's supportin' Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's supported Sen. Barbara Boxer....She supported everybody. Why won't she support me?" -- Hillary Clinton. Source: John Broder of the LA Times

"You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva." -- Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

"Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?" -- Song from the show of left-wing radio host Neil Rogers

Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News.

"You f*cking Jew b@stard." -- Hillary Clinton to political operative Paul Fray. This was revealed in "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton" and has been verified by Paul Fray and three witnesses

'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.

The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, City College audience in New York



Want to talk about biden and "articulate black people"?


You didn't think this one through, eh?

john stewart, I should have known. :shrug:

I'm voting for Obama dude. :failpail:

A serious political pundit who has lots of followers about a lady who wanted to make a difference and he agreed with. Yes, context is important in my opinion, X.

I'd say context is probably the most important thing ever. The word **** does not piss me off. The word slut is not bad to me. Whore neither. Comedians can use those words all day. That's what they are paid to do.
 
john stewart, I should have known. :shrug:

It's Jon with no 'h', and yeah. In fact, he just pointed out the other day the RNC memo about how the economy may be getting better but gas prices were still bad (I suggest checking the forum on that one LOL).

So you want me to find someone on here who says they listened to Rush earlier? I think we all know I don't need to.

Apparently. Discussion with conservatives is mind-bottling.

I find those words to be those of the man of a weak constitution. There is never a need for such commentary as it's sexist as hell when a man pontificates on the promiscuity of a woman when discussing things that have little bearing on her choice in quantity of coital interactions.
 
I still have an open offer of 100 bucks to the forum, showing a liberal starting a thread denouncing him calling palin a **** and a twat.

So? Seriously. Palin is a candidate, or was one, a player open to be commented on. But a private citizen at a hearing? Well, that's one way make sure citizens think twice about participating.

As for out of context, aren't you doing something even less honest concerning Obama calling Palin a pig? Just asking. . . .

Yes find me someone who listened to his show earlier today, have them tell you the time too.

I'm certainly watching a number of them twist themselves into pretzels explaining why it was OK for Maher to do so.

her 14 year old daughter wasn't.

Obama knew exactly what he was saying, I got it, the crowd he was speaking to got it, you however seem to be again, left wanting. So sad for you.
