Two (2) watt is fair and funny. The other, inexcusable. Not in the least funny.

Poor Maher- his ratings must be going down again and he is doing anything to try to be relevant. What next Bill? Make Sarah Silver”fish” your girlfriend?

“Yet, when he makes a comment that crosses the line, he’ll conveniently hide behind the comedian veil and folks on the Left will wittingly give him a pass.”

So you have seen The View also.

Wah wah wah. I’m sure Sarah will have a facebook post up whining later about this.

Maher is liberal pond scum.

and ps, Maher is not even close to being funny.

I disagree with that last part, of course, since Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers immediately comes to mind as someone who has denounced Maher’s attacks.”

Name another, TC and btw, libs don’t consider Powers a lib. Work on that!

Liberal Tormentor said:

Actually, if you weren’t an utter moron, you’d know he’s not all that terribly liberal. Maher is extremely clever, creative and can be terribly funny. On the lecture circuit, he can be wondrously gentle and sensitive to his audience. When he is “on” however, his foul language and his constant attacks upon religion, all religion, are so offensive, I can’t watch him.

Liberal Tormentor said:

Except for his face and his hookers.

Liberal Tormentor said:

Since you have absolutely no sense of humor, you are in no position to judge. You ought to have punted on that one.

Another reason why I don’t watch Maher this season, he was good in his prior ones. I think he went off the deep end after last November’s elections.

Look at how the Thumb’s Up and Thumb’s Down count has soared since Michelle-in-Utah hauled in from the casino. Coincidence? I think not.

I have taken HBO in my home since the early 1980′s.
Before even finishing this article, I have contacted my provider and canceled it.
Being a son, husband, father and grandfather of a mother, wife, daughter and granddaughters, I will
not spend one more dime on a company that pays the likes of Bill Maher and the misogyny that he spews.
The arrogant piece of shit can go back to the trailer park from which he came.

Bill Maher Calls Sarah Palin The ‘C-Word’ During His Stand-Up Act”

I thought everyone knew SP was a Conservative.

Maher didn’t?

I agree that 2 watt is not sexist. But it isn’t funny or creative. I remember doing amateur stand-up for fun in my hometown (see: small town America). We were a small group of guys just goofing and having fun drinking for free where we could get a gig. One thing that was unforgivable was “going the easy route”. That would be anything the audience wanted to hear with little humor content. Like… “Doesn’t your boss suck”. Or doing right winger jokes in San Fran, Lib jokes in Texas, black jokes at a KKK rally, white jokes at an NAACP meeting… you get the picture. I dislike Maher for a lot of reasons… but #1 with a bullet is that he has made millions “going the easy route”. He says “teaba@@er” and his audience slaps their hands together faster than Pavlov’s dog drools. He’s a lazy comic… that is his biggest sin.

OOOooooOOOoooooTHUMBSooooOOOOoooOOOoooooIDIOToooOOOOOo

Don’t be such Pu$$ies!!!!

You all know Sarah Palin is a C&nt!!!!

Unlike Rush Limp-balls, who claims to be joking whenever he says something stupid, Bill Maher really is a comedian. People pay money to watch his standup act. This was part of his act and anyone who can’t handle that needs to go die in a fire already. As Henny Youngman used to say:

“Screw ‘em if they can’t take a joke!”

I had satellite with most of the premium channels until last week. I was paying US $164.00/month, not watching all that much (except for news, college sports and “Big Love”) and not finding much to watch when I wanted to do so. I went back to cable, a fairly basic HD package costing less than US $40.00/month. I don’t expect to miss Maher or HBO. Interestingly, I get all the broadcast and cable “news” packages, but FOX “News” is not HD. CNN and MSNBC are.

“Besides, I’ve seen this kind of thing from Maher for a long time, and his use of shocking language and jokes, more often than not, is used as a replacement for actual material, rather than as an enhancement.”

Bingo.

vulgar language helps sell weak jokes ~ David Brenner

It’s lowbrow and a crutch, appealing to the lowest common denominator.

“Maher isn’t likely to stop any time soon, unless some of his guests begin to confront and call him out for it, like Dana Loesch did over his use of the term “Teabagger,” or until he stops getting a reaction.”

Bingo again. Although, I don’t think calling him out with work, i think people need to start ignoring him, and quit watching his show. He is getting exactly what he wants – he’s just like Kathy Griffin. They are bottom feeders that feed off the attention.

Its official, Bill Maher is a misogynist.

Bill Maher Hit With Palimony SuitEx accuses HBO star of physical abuse, “degrading racial comments”

http://mediaoutrage.com/2007/10/31/superhead-talks-ex-boyfriend-bill-maher/

“Bill wants someone he can put down in an argument, tell you how ghetto you are, how big your butt is, and that you’re an idiot. That’s why you never see him with a white girl or an intellectual. I might as well have been a Muslim woman with my head wrapped, walking 10 paces behind my man. [But] I couldn’t be ‘Bill Maher’s girlfriend’ any more…”

http://icydk.com/2011/03/21/bill-maher-and-cara-santa-maria-split/

“Bill can never stay with one woman for more than a few years. He always gets bored and just wants to go back to playing the field.”

At least his most recent girlfriend was in the “business” already and no doubt benefited from his profile- Finally a woman got something out of a relationship with Bill Maher besides a venerial decease.

Exactly why you also shouldn’t support or watch Fox News. Would you appreciate having a filthy pervert like Bill O’Reilly jacking off on the phone to his employee who happened to be your daughter. Would you continue to watch Fox News if you found out that he did that?

Maher is one of the most liberal TV personalities there is. He advocated a dictatorial government during the Obamacare debate when he repeatedly said he wanted Obama and the Democrats to just ram the health care bill through because they knew what was best for the American people(whom he claimed were too dumb to think for themselves).

He’s also stated on his Real Time program in recent months that he favors European style socialism as he believes that system works best. Never mind that this very form of government is drowning Europe in debt and forcing severe cutbacks in spending(anyone see the scene in London last weekend?).

So according to the man’s own words, his political ideology falls somewhere between wanting America to have a socialist government or an oligarchy.

If the only place I hear this on is mediaite and FNC, then Newsbusters is correct. Maher’s attacks using vile sexist terms crosses all lines. Great shouldn’t be the only one making it known that these vile attacks are simply unacceptable.

Tommy, Since you’re here, I was wondering if you were going to write this up:

New Black Panther leader, Malik Zulu Shabazz, unloaded on President Barack Obama during a March 23rd episode of “Black Power Radio.” “We have held back on this negro for a long time,” says Shabbazz, who launches into an ugly racial attack against Obama, referring to him as a “buck-dancing Tom,” and a “terrorist” for attacking Gaddafi. “You should have listened to Louis Farrakhan a long time ago when you were at his table,” Shabazz scolded. Shabazz continued…”What you see in Libya is a big case of police brutality,” and Obama is the “n***** police chief.

Dictators who eliminate individual rights, freedoms and impress their govt, into every fabric of life are hardly right-wing.

What’s so funny about these benighted libs is they think it’s the social policies that determines if a govt. is right or left. WRONG It’s policies determine if they are Progressive or Conservative, but the degree they eliminate individual rights, freedoms and impress their govt into your life determines if they are left-wing or right wing govts.

Richard Pryor used offensive language. But his act wasn’t based on insulting people. He’d playfully mock, but it would never get personal.

BINGO!!! Bring the funny and I don’t care about politics. I couldn’t disagree with Chris Rock more. But he’s funny. I couldn’t disagree with David Letterman more. But he’s NOT funny.

The NOW has for far too long stayed silent on the rude, crude and socially unacceptable attacks on Sarah palin and her family. The left has far too long stayed silent on the attacks on women conservatives by the likes of Chrissyt the spiitter and Keith the unemployed.

NOW should denounce Maher; CNN and MSNBC should shun Maher, but of course, they won’t they will invite him on the air to continue to trash women.

Mediaite should no longer give a voice to Maher…ya’ll bless HuffPo shutting up Brietbart and his words were nothing compared to Mahers.

Furthermore, Mediaite is still using media matters as a source, and if you had an ounce on integrity you would never use them again, but then again, you kind of spiked the whole story about media matters to being with.

Whoa, Tommy. Defending Palin & standing up to a lefty? You feeling okay? It does make me feel a little better for your health that you were able to throw a couple Palin digs in there while defending her against being called a “c^nt”. Progress.

exactly! i used to spend at least once a week at the Improv, and have seen just about every comedian there is, and some of the funniest were full of swearing, but they were HILARIOUS. not just hacks seeking attention, like Maher, feeding off the attention he gets from yelling *twat* and *c*nt* like he’s got tourettes.

Can anyone even begin to imagine the fallout if a pundit used this term with regard to Michelle Obama? It would be the end of their career. But Maher won’t even get a slap on the wrist.

If the shoe fits. Nothing that little prick said was untrue. Good for him for saying it.

There’s nothing remotely funny about Bill Maher……other than maybe the fact that he is today’s de facto leader and spokesman for the morally bankrupt, equally brain dead liberal movement in America. You guys must bo oh so proud to have someone of such a high caliber as your front man going into this most important campaign season.

In reality, every single time this slime ball fairy opens his mouth another 100,000 independents decide on a party.

Hmm, that reminds me of a guy named Rush Limbaugh who frequently says outright ignorant and disrespectful and sometimes racist things like he did with his Haiti comments and hides behind the “tweeking the media” veil and gets a pass from his followers on the right.

I don’t watch Maher often (on Youtube a couple times) and know he works with a foul mouth, and agree pushing with the c— word was to get attention, but hadn’t heard anything about him “trashing women” until he said stuff about Palin and Bachmann (with a side insult to the two on Gilligan). Will watch to see if he habitually trashes ALL women – seems he trashes anyone he disagrees with (like so many I see on these boards).

It’s a pretty common understanding that disdain and disrespect hides in the heart of a womanizer.

It’s less common to understand that hiding in there too, is a double standard so vast it makes the Taliban look like champions of female emancipation.

If women can appreciate Maher for anything, they should thank him for revealing that.

If true, he’d be from the left. AK is still trying to clean up budgets after Sarah quit (Wasilla/sports complex cost and the state/oil tax). The nation will be cleaning up the mess long after Obama is gone, but the difference is AK/Wasilla were in decent shape to start with (though much in the state was fed handouts even with oil revenue – AK should be one of the first places to shrink fed spending)..

“Misogyny isn’t just a left/right issue . . ”

Looks like it is more of a conservative issue these days. NOW and the rest of the left sat by quietly when Obama’s minions trashed Hillary and called Bill a racist just like they did Ferraro. Not to mention the attacks on Palin and her girls. I don’t see anyone on the right using this kind of hateful language, like Maher and Kathy Griffin. Dennis Miller is pretty brash, but nothing like this.

Sounds like an inside joke to me, Garth.

Can someone explain this to me; just where are the NOW or NARAL gang condemning this attack on women? Seems to me that you can dismiss anything provided that the attack is directed towards a Conservative. Bob Packwood (Republican, and a huge supporter of abortion rights) chased a rather ugly woman around his desk and tried to KISS her (oh the horror) some 35+ years ago, and the NOW and NARAL gang began a misandrous campaign of hate against him. They got him out. Where are all of the feminists denouncing this crude and misogynistic insult?

ndanielson said:

When my kids were older teens, they would try to get me to listen to Dane Cook and agree with them that he is funny but I would stop listening after just a few minutes because every other word was of the “f” variety and distracted from whatever comedy might be there.

Agree. I just watched Palin’s response to Obama’s speech. She honestly has no clue as to how important it is to have allies. I mean she is as dumb as a bag of rocks. But the c–word is not appropiate at all. Even to her.

sarainitaly said:

I don’t agree with everything Bill says either politically or otherwise, but realistically, there are a lot of people out there that get paid to say outrageous things , or just to be a celebrity. Limbaugh comes to mind.
While Palin isn’t profane, she quit her job to take financial advantage of her celebrity.

Comedy , and I suppose political commentary and opinion, is subjective. If you don’t like it , don’t watch.

Wonder if you would be so “liberal” minded if Bill had said the same thing about Hillary, Nancy etc.

As for why Palin quit – you are being less than honest which sums up your entire comment.

Maher shows his class—or LACK thereof. Imagine what would happen if some conservative made such a remark about a liberal woman.

Oh yeah, and I would like to personally slap Maher’s ugly little face. I would do the same if a conservative made such a remark about a liberal woman.

X-3 said:

We don’t have to imagine. Rush Limbaugh does it all the time. This distinguished sociologist and political theorist likes to use terms like feminazi and other colorful variations of the c-word. I don’t like some of the terms Maher uses, but nobody can deny the he is a genius and quite brilliant.

I can deny his genius and brilliance. Smart people don’t routinely make asses of themselves. Nor do they have need to resort to profanity laden ad hominems to show disagreement or to make a point.

BTW, feminazi isn’t a 4 letter word. It isn’t equivalent to one either.

I didn’t read all the comments so forgive me if someone else made this point…

Maher is not “dangerous” or “edgy”, Maher is predictable.

His hero, Christopher Hitchens nailed him brilliantly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HECI4QK_mXA

After Hitchens flipped off Mahers audience and “fuck you” he said to Maher
“I hear you make 5 George Bush IQ jokes a night, there’s nobody who can’t do it…this is now the joke that stupid people laugh at…it’s the joke that stupid people can laugh at…like your audience”

Bill looked like he was about to cry. But Hitch got it right. Palin jokes are the equivalent of a knock knock joke. Bill Maher is lazy and doing the least edgy thing possible.

John Michael, would you mind sharing what colorful variations of the c-word Limbaugh uses or has used? Can’t think of any can you because, although I don’t listen to Limbaugh, he’d be toast if he ever did.

Thus the difference. As to Maher’s “brilliance”, I would refer to him as a “shock jock” but brilliant? Not so much. The man can’t utter a sentence without profanity – not a sign of intelligence.

Please, keep it real and don’t make up things to further your cause. All you managed to do is show us the dishonesty some will resort to – with no qualms, it would appear.

ndanielson said:

Sometimes I read the NYT but for Alaska issues I read Alaska publications. Lots in Wikipedia, then verify it with other articles. I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media — Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years. I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

Aside from Maher using a vulgar word, this issue has been blown out of proportion. If you remove the world’s foremost victim (Sarah Palin), and consider some man who is a loudmouth, always cutting down and name-calling people who don’t bow to his point of view, and never offering a solution to anything because he’s full of crap instead of knowledge (some might say like Bill Maher), you’d call the guy a “weaselly little pr/ck”. What Maher did is no different except the loudmouth is female – same type person getting called the same gender appropriate part of anatomy. Jack Nicholson used the same name for Nurse Ratchett in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

X-3 said: “Imagine what would happen if some conservative made such a remark about a liberal woman.”

I guess you mean if a conservative comedian made such a remark.
Do you have any examples of a foul mouthed conservative comedian or a liberal version of Sarah Palin (constant criticism and name-calling [especially toward other liberals], weekly/monthly gaffes, misquoting facts/numbers, etc)?

Palin and Bachmann are public figures and fair game for any comedian during a STAND UP ACT. The only mistake Bill made was leaving out Michelle Malkin and that’s because her dumbass has never held any kind of office.

Christopher says that Maher is too much of a pundit to hide behind his guise as a comedian, and that Maher’s language is unacceptable in a political context.

Which is a pretty silly statement.

Maher has been doing this social commentary comedy schtick for most of the last 20 years. Christopher can try to arrogate a role as Arbiter of Comedy, but frankly he’s an insignificant little nobody compared to Maher, and he doesn’t get to pick Maher’s location in the pantheon of comedy based on what his perception of what’s seemly.

Love him or hate him, find him funny or not, Maher is a comedian and gets to decide for himself how far down any road he’s willing to go. His audience will reward or reject him accordingly.

Bill Maher is a fake !!! If not for 911 his career was over. I watched him as a stand-up in the 80’s and he sucked big time. He exploited the Americans who died on 911 and found his big “payday” by trying to be off humor or controversial…..C’mon folks don’t be so small minded on this fool.You really thinks he gives a f#$% aboout what you think ? He laughs at you all the way to the bank.

Don’t be too harsh on our resident Dims’ role model. He shows them how much further down one can descend into filth and immorality, and teaching them a new level of hypocrisy while he’s at it. If that what he has to do to get attention, then so be it……………Dims need to be led in any case.

I’ve often observed that the only personal freedom anti-American Liberals are willing to tolerate, is the freedom to be as disgustingly immoral as humanly imaginable……………..NO OTHER FREEDOM ALLOWED. Maher serves as proof of that observation.

It’s interesting that you were able to name two publications that you read, right off the top of your head.

Some folks seem to have a problem doing that…

Like her or not, Palin has a shot at running for president of the United States of Amreica. Maher is a comedian.

Sorry to bluntly break things down Barney style for all, but i’m just good at it sometimes.

Maher is not “dangerous” or “edgy”, Maher is predictable.

His hero, Christopher Hitchens nailed him brilliantly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HECI4QK_mXA

After Hitchens flipped off Mahers audience and “fuck you” he said to Maher
“I hear you make 5 George Bush IQ jokes a night, there’s nobody who can’t do it…this is now the joke that stupid people laugh at…it’s the joke that stupid people can laugh at…like your audience”

Bill looked like he was about to cry. But Hitch got it right. Palin jokes are the equivalent of a knock knock joke. Bill Maher is lazy and doing the least edgy thing possible.

soooo true! great post.

wanted to add – in my opinion c*nt is just as offensive as n*gger. It is disgusting, degrading and extremely offensive.

Maher should hang out with Chris Brown. Sounds like both share a violent contempt for women…

Palin is a C and Maher is a prick. This is true for some not so true for others. Next story.

A man’s personal worth as human being is inversely proportional to his usage of vulgarity.

Enough said!

All real right wing, eh?

Maher is a perverted woman-hater who’s fooled a lot of progressives, but not this one.

I waste time reading too much – main thing is to filter out the bias and verify facts.
The gibberish is a direct quote from the Palin/Couric interview:
“I’ve read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media — Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years. I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.”

c**t is more in line with d**k or pr**k and it’s used all the time.

The “n” word might have died out more if not used by black rappers – them saying it’s not the same because they pronounce the ending “ah” instead of “er” is BS.

This may be more of a case of “what goes around comes around” and “you reap what you sow” – though not vulgar (beyond “bastards” for CBS reporters) no politician name-calls as much as Sarah Palin (esp toward members of her own party).
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/31/palin-laughs-as-opponent_n_122776.html

The psychological angle: “The process of name-calling is typically based upon feeling not OK, and name-callers are trying to make themselves feel more powerful by using the process. If I call you a name and get you upset, then I temporarily feel more powerful because I had a powerful effect upon you. My self-esteem rises at your expense. I project my unhappiness on to you and you take it on if you allow yourself to be upset.”
http://www.psychologyhelp.com/thnk86.htm

Could apply to Maher (a comedian), but more likely to Sarah (a politician) – she name-calls because she can’t elevate her self-esteem by presenting details to implement her ideas.

Holy crap wow dude, I dont know if I should lol or point out what an idiot you are.

For the most part it’s up to the individual to take offense to any particular word. But a strong case can be made that the c word is to woman what the n word is to blacks. And, seeing that the n word is used so easily in rap and never seeing the c word being used, can that be some kind of indicator of whats worse?

Doesn’t matter. Your excuse for it being ok in rap songs could be the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen in all of bloggin. NOT JUST Mediaite, ALL of bloggin.

The one presenter that we really miss; her family was most important? That’s one of the reasons that made Jane a special anchor. It’d be nice if she did a guest bow on one of the shows, as in Update.

Maher is gay and not the normal gay man, hes’ the type of gay man that hates women. Maher hits women, calls them vile names, and then quickly hides behind the ‘comedian’ thing or pretends not to care. He cares, he cares for Maher and he loves the shock value of slang names for female body parts. He is a child, he is evil, and yes, Bill Maher is gay.

And, what’s with his nose? Have you ever seen an uglier nose on anyone in your whole life, The creep could rent out that hideous nose. Flat, wide, and a step beyond ugly. Maybe God is pissed after all the hate stuff this creep says about him, and he’s tweaking that schnoz while the creep sleeps. Bill, buy a bag…please.

So — you castigate Maher for using a part of the anatomy to describe her, but then turn around and do the same thing to him. Totally logicial — NOT.

I am shocked!!!

… shocked that Bill Maher actually gets any press.

Who gives a shit? The guy’s your typical, run of the mill hateful bigot. Next story!

Instead of simply strongly condemning Maher, Christopher uses it as an opportunity to attack Palin. Example 654 of why Tommy Christopher is Mediaites most disgustingly biased contributer.

Sometimes you just have to call a cunt a cunt.

I gotta admit , that’s a good clip. I like Maher okay, but don’t think he’s as sharp as either Stewart or Colbert. The thing is, I see plenty of cheap jokes on the Daily Show and Colbert. Toilet humor and what not. Jon even pokes fun at how cheap they are, but it’s part of a package. Out of X number of punchlines a certain number will be low brow, and some will be dam clever. Then again Jon and Stephen do four shows a week, while Maher does one right?
A conservative friend pointed pout years ago that while Bush may have said some stupid stuff, his record shows he’s not stupid. He’s just not a great orator. Bushism’s still crack me up but saying Bush is an idiot or moron, is not only inaccurate , it’s letting him off way to easy.

Maher is gross.

Mr. Christopher wrote:

“… [Maher's] gender-based attacks on conservative women like Palin and Michele Bachmann threaten to alienate the many pro-vagina viewers in his audience.”

So, just because I support Palin and Bachmann, that makes me “pro-vagina” should I happen to watch Maher?

Why not simply write, “gender-based attacks on conservative women like Palin and Michele Bachmann threaten to alienate their many supporters”? Or, since when have reporters referred to supporters of woman politicians as “pro-vagina”?

Bill maher is a cowardly price of crap!

Amen, he’s a liberal shock jockette with issues of his own,maybee a slanduskie victim that didn’t tell and is trying to make up for his own insecurities with women. He’s obviously not well and you should not let your small boys around him. He’s probably grooming one now.
Talk to your children. Tell them the difference between a good touch and a bad touch. Connect with your kids so they are comfortable coming to you about anything. Recognize if they are unusually quiet or angry and gently help them to talk about it. Earn their trust and you may end up saving them or others. Pray for Bill and thE rest of our leaders, they really need IT. Godspeed troops1

fluke is a tool of the left

Oh, my, comparing Maher, a comedian pundit with Rush, the leader of the Republican Party…..or should I say trying to excuse Rush, by saying he’s no different than Maher, which as head of the Republican Party, is probably true.

whats a cant?

Liberal women really just don’t care that liberal men call them names.  Conservative women are stronger, and stand up for themselves.  I really think libtwats like to be marginalized.

First of all, does anyone beleive that a**hole Bill Maher, would ever call Sarah Palin that vile word in front of Todd Palin? Of course not, because he is a P–sy, and Todd would punch his lights out, dim as they are.

Second,Bill Maher is not and never was funny,just an a**hole!!!

What a horrible little “man”.  Is Ofailure going to give back his donation to democRats?

 You mean the insufferable fatassed Wookie in the White House?

Nothing really new here.  Bill Maher’s hatred for women is deep-rooted.  I’ve never seen a liberal so accepted by his peers while he seethes in obvious, pure disdain for those of the female gender.

It’s a simple fact, folks.  Bill Maher absolutely HATES women and can’t keep his mouth shut when one of them dares not to believe the way he demands they believe or denies submitting to his opinions without question.

“War on Women”?  Here’s your field general. 

actually, Im pretty sure Rush has no job with the republican party

Stunning that Phil “interviewed” himself, pretending to be Bill?   Derp. 

People aren’t told often enough that religion is idiotic. TIme to enter the age of reason.

Consider the source

Vile scum is what Maher is.  Two entertainers speak out of line; admittedly, one far worse than the other.  One is praised while one is demonized. The socialist left is frothing at the mouth for a war and I am fed-up enough to pray they start one.

It is past time to take our country back from people who are just a waste of oxygen.  Take it back by force if necessary.

Agreed, and if Maher had uses that word after donating to the PAC then the money should be returned. Other wise to be consistent anyone running for office should return the money from any donor whoever made a sexist remark.
The problem with Rush is that he repeatedly sexually demeaned a private citizen 53 times over the public airwaves over the course of 3 days. He even said “we” wanted to see her in a pornography tape.   

She’s a cent?  Can we call her Penny?

Really?  I wonder if you’d feel that same way if you were a woman and “joked” about in that way, or if your wife or daugher were used in a joke that way.  Double standard here.  Maher is just as accountable for his mouth as Rush is.  No excuses.

Chuck from Tacoma:  You go Chuck!  Nice to have men around us to stand up for their women!  I havent had HBO for years and dont ever plan to pay for it again.  I’ve had it blocked on my cable. 

f you

Go Rush

A trailer park is way too good for him.  I would  prefer dumpster mouth live in a trash bin with the rest of the ilk such as he.

You are so right but i call him a shit head       semper fi

 I’ll boycott HBO when Clear Channel fires Rush Limbaugh and not one day sooner.

Look at all the whiny people here. Last I checked women were equal to men, and have fought for a long time to be treated as such. So Bill has every right to go after women the same way he does men. Especially when the women are the idiotic Palin and Bachman and the phonies on Fox News.

Grow up!! Why is the “C” word so villified in America anyway? Looks like conservative women want to have it both ways, they want to stand up and claim to be powerful and independent, but one word can has the power to make them cower in the corner crying “You hurt my feelings.” Take it like a man.

How’s that hand working out for you Willy?

Not on your life.  Since when does evil ever do the right thing?

After reading your post, I can see why you would “own it.”  Is that YOUR trademark?

 Pretty good. I’ve had it all my life.
