Bill Maher defends Rush Limbaugh for 'slut' apology

Rush Limbaugh isnt making money??
To hear j-mac cry Rush is halfway to the Poor House!

But, in any case, is this the kind of war against free speech America really wants? Who will be next?
"War against free speech"? LOL!

Didn't Nixon start that "War on xxxx" policy with the War on Drugs FORTY years ago? Everything is a war now and it's loosing it's sensationalism. Conservatives need to get a new line - "war on" has turned into just plain "worn". :roll:

Grant pointing out that someone who gives a million dollars, no small amount of money, to a democrate Presidential candidate, is himself a liberal democrate, makes him (grant) a far right extremist?? That makes little to no sense.

No, Grant referring to the Democratic Party as the Demo****s makes him a far right extremist. That and most of the rest of his political posts.

Back to Nixon now? What happened to blaming it all on Bush?

When there are web sites (not available in Nixon's time) devoted to silencing one person, then it's a war. Are you familiar with the term "war of words", by the way? This goes beyond that.
 
It seems what really annoys them is suggesting terms that Bill Maher, a strong Democrat supporter, uses against political opponents on a regular basis. They find this turning of the tables almost unbearable, having had almost exclusive use of these words for a generation or so. They find it offensive that anyone not of the left use them. Thus the fall-back position of the ""extreme right wing"' labeling, with "racist" surely to follow.

It just another example of the Leftists being able to dish it out but use their own tactics on them and they start crying the blues.

Doesn't annoy me at all, which you would know if you'd read any of my other comments on Maher. I find Maher and Limbaugh to be two sides of the same coin. I dislike them both and find their language disgusting. How about you, Grant?

Ready to bite the bullet and call out the pill junkie Limbo? Or are you still fixated on the 'Demo****s'?

All i did was remove the "crat" part of the word. Your imagination did the rest.

Did you call Maher a "far right extremist" (whatever that means to you!) when he use genuine foul language against women and children? I doubt it. Again, as noted, the left can dish it out but they can't take it.
 
Yes, we can all start using the term Democ**ts now as a source of entertainment.

No, I'd say only the Far Right Extremists would be entertained by that. Still, if the shoe fits.....

No, I actually called him an unamusing Far Left asshole.

It's not clear whether you're being deliberately thick here or not but I wasn't necessarily referring to you. I was making a general observation, which you only tend to justify.

Rush Limbaugh (Limbo, right?) is a "pill junkie"? Are you quite certain of that?
 
Yeah, not like the always enlightened 'Demo****s' from you folks on the Far Right.

But I'm still waiting for the condemnation from you - a self proclaimed Independent - of the fat junkie Limbaugh. I could see why those on the Far Right or the Far Left - like Maher - refuse to do it but I would have expected you 'Independents' to join the rest of us in criticizing the bulbous toad. Guess not.

Ignorant people (yes, even those dumb asses in DC) are well known for wanting to stifle business on the Net. I'm sure it's because Silicon Valley isn't really as controllable as they'd like. I mean, really?, give everyone a chance to say what they want to say! Oh the horror of free speech! :shock:

Hasn't the stance always been "Once a druggie, always a druggie"? I'd say Rush fits that description.


Another note to all those Mean Old People Against Rush - didn't Bohner even condemn Rush's actions? How telling is that?
 
Nothing that Bill Maher said or will say will wash the slate clean for Rush, the point is that there is an obvious sense of selective moral outrage in this country when Rush can get hounded for weeks after saying the word slut on his program, but Bill Maher can call people names on a nightly basis and get away with it on the premis that he is a comedian (comedian card). He has called Palin a dumb Tw*t, he called her the C word, he has called her a lesbian, he has called Michelle Bachman a bimbo. He made a joke about Rick Santorum's wife using a vibrator (imagine if he had made a comment like that about michelle Obama during last election). The guy says disdainful things on every show, and he has never EVER been asked to apologize (nor has he given one).

Rush shouldnt have called that girla slut, for obvious resons. However that wordpales in comparison to the words and names that Bill Maher throws at respectable political figures ALL THE TIME!

Context matters. Rush used the word "slut," which isn't actually what matters, and as you well know people on the left use more than their fair share of vulgarity. Can you list examples of what Maher said? I don't mean just that he used the word lesbian or whore or whatever, I mean the full context. I already learned from clips from Fox News what words he used.
 
That would be all fine and dandy if it were a truly organic event...But, we all know that this attack on Limbaugh sponsors is not....


j-mac

What do you mean by an organic event?

If these advertisers were leaving totally without protection racket type pressure from groups like stoprush.org, aka media matters. Now some of them possibly did leave on their own, but it is likely that many more that have left the show for now, are doing so because of the thug like tactics employed by the ****heads that want to stifle Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, FoxNews, and anyone that doesn't fall into orgasmic trance like awe every time our current liar n chief speaks...

Not sure why the right is so upset that Maher called a cu*t...it's actually quite appropriate...

A cu*t is a woman who Cant Understand Normal Thinking...

And who says the leftists lack a sense of humor??
 
The language of the left is always so predictable.

Almost as predictable as the comments of those who can't bring themselves to admit they are righties.
 
And who says the leftists lack a sense of humor??

Actually leftys appreciate humor. Those on the right are too uptight. I mean Dennis Miller is the funniest they have? Really?

Nah, compared to Rush, Miller needs some work....heh, heh....

Really?

Playing to sell out crowds, selling books and albums, and having a very popular radio program?

How you doin'?

All that proves is that there are lots of sheep in the flock...

trust me, I do just fine, thx and do it without having to spread divisive rhetoric and lies...

And this is how you judge importance? Well, it shouldn't be a surprise.

I have seen no evidence of "thug like tactics". Do you have any to present?
