He’s a dick!

Pure racism!

“This is someone whose political identity is supposedly deeply rooted in a hatred of racism, someone who makes his paycheck self-righteously brandishing his tolerance.”

Are you kidding? Maher is one of the most intolerant people on the planet.

I was impressed . No sharp intake of breath , no scattered aplause . Right to the laugh track !

It’s funny , cause it’s Bill . Right ?

Bill Maher….just like comedy, but without the humor.

But guess what? Maher is a liberal so he can say anything he wants with absolutely no fallout whatsoever.

well, this liberal was offended by Maher, doesn’t generally think he’s funny, and thinks this remark in particular was racist.

Keep building that straw man, though.

This is a guy that thinks he is smarter than Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and O’Reilly. LOL. He is a loser on a loser outlet.

Yep, comedians get a pass on what they can say because they are the professional court jesters. We take the jester for what he is worth. Mostly a fool. But as such, from the standpoint of good taste, the fool is allowed to transgress. Unlike, for example, news commentators who are not trying to be funny.

Of course Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, Rush are all in another category, that of news enterainers. So they can get away with almost as much as the comedian.

Maher is NOT funny and I have never thought that he was. Liberals tend to like him because he spends most of his time attacking republicans. But the liberals will forget about this as soon as he goes back to attacking republicans. There will be no cries for boycotts, no calling for his sponsors to drop his show etc.

We all must remember that neither liberals nor minorities can be racists.

At ease.

The nothing to see here gambit , well played,

Maher is definately smarter than Beck, O’Reilly and Hannity. Limbaugh, however, has few peers.
P.S. Intellect doesn’t equate to being right.

It’s well known if your a liberal you have a permit to make racist jokes.

“How exactly does President Sanford and Son think he got elected — by CB radio? The campaign was based on the Internet.”- Bill Maher after Obama’s Technology is not all good speech, at Hampton University.

If that was Limbaugh , Beck , HA! Can you imagine?

Spoken like a true race card flinging liberal a**hole.

How long will it take for Sharpton to show up? For Obama to tell HBO he should be fired?

What a demeaning stereotype, and very offensive. Once again, Hollywood perpetuating the stereotypes they accuse Conservatives of holding.

Wait, is Bill saying that Blacks have large penises?

Don Imus get fired and pilloried for saying stuff like this. But Maher gets another pass

Just give a lib a little time and his racism will burst forth.

Essentially, Maher is using sarcasm to simply make the point that Obama has effectively been a moderate.

Gordon’s Rug said: “This is a guy that thinks he is smarter than Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and O’Reilly. LOL. He is a loser on a loser outlet.”

You’re right Gordo. HBO is shit compared to public access, where all you need are a camcorder and a basement to have a “show.”

Maher’s monologues are marked by extremely lazy writing, and he seems to think he’s earned his “hood pass,” routinely making jokes that are iffy from a white comic, but wouldn’t raise an eyebrow coming from Chris Rock.

That said, Maher is less a comic, less a pundit, and more of a provocateur, so he gets more latitude. Someone who’s not afraid to say the wrong thing will often end up saying the right thing that everyone else is afraid to say. I’m not a fan of Maher at all, but he offers some insights in Religulous, for example, that you wouldn’t get from a more disciplined mind.

Tommy

You still seem to miss the double standard. Why is he on Sunday Shows , and CNN, MSNBC, as a poltical pundit?

Offensive, yes, surprising, no.

“…you wouldn’t get that from a more disciplined mind.” If by disciplined, you mean sane.

No doubt he feels a “real black president” ought to be wearing a hoodie and flash gang signs during the State of the Union address.

Maher an intellect? PHHHTTT!

Because he uses big words? ROFL.
Knowledge is to wisdom as Bill Maher is to Marge Simpson.

Pants and guns, hmmmm, maybe check with Plaxico Burress to see how well that works out.

Bill Maher is condescending. He might just be showing his true colors.

His satire lacks…the point being that in reaching for “humor” …he went way too far.

Racism either exists, which it does, or who do you apologize for?

People speak in stereotypes; both sides of the political spectrum.

Yo “Tinkletown whatever”

Maher is smarter than who ? (!@#$ ?)

He’s lost one show already for being offensive…

But YOU like him.

We just caught a glimpse of what he REALLY believes.

Racist scumbag.

@benrush: Knowledge is to wisdom as Bill Maher is to Marge Simpson.

I’ve had a couple of cocktails but I’ve actually found Marge Simpson to be a voice of reason!

Perhaps I should stop typing.

Wonder what the virulent Mr. Maher would make of this scenario: Stanley Armour Dunham, so desirous of a first-born son that he names his daughter Stanley, has a little bastard baby boy by an obliging Polynesian wahine. His daughter Stanley Ann and her husband of convenience the black alien Luo tribesman adopt him, name him Barack Hussein Obama II; a fable is spun about Stanley Ann’s going to Kenya and having the baby there, the better to detract attention from the illegitimate birth and evade the question how she could have a baby without first being pregnant. From the adoptive black father and the Kenyan birth myth the little bugger builds a political career on the pretense of being black and having African relatives. Surely the asinine Mr. Maher could indulge his corrosive sense of humor by developing a minstrel show starring Obama II, with a stand-up warm-up by that eminent comedian Robert Gibbs. If there be any justice, they soon will have nothing better to do.

This SLUG, Bill Maher seems to be a first class RACIST. Most of us don’t see Barack Obama’s race but Bill Maher sure does. He is obsessed with it. What a freak-show!

Sunnyr you frickin moron – I think the 97.5% of blacks that voted for the Commie saw he was one of them.

Turns out only 2.5% of blacks have half a brain. If you voted for Obama you have about as much sense as the juriors in the O.J. Simpson Murder trial. “F” Obama and “F” everyone that voted for this piece of Commie trash.

This is directed to eingriff and AmericanCowboy… I’m curious do you dummies wake up this stupid or does it just develop throughout the day? You don’t care about government control, hell you two have probably been sucking off the tit of the government since your days in diapers. No, what is pissing you off is that everyday you wake in America A BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN AND HIS FAMILY is leaving in the White House. Now deal!

Now in other news… Bill Maher like many of the so-called political pundits earning a check… are accustom to politicians behaving like children. Thank GOD, President Obama behaves like an adult.

I meant living in the White House.

Came back to say AmericanCowboy probably hasn’t served in the U.S. Military not one day, but loves waving the flag and throwing around the word communism. We all know he couldn’t explain the difference between communism, Marxism, capitalism if they offered him an island to escape his sorry ass to. However there is one ism that he is quite comfortable with and that is racism. It’s his badge of honor. People like him bring bad luck to this country, as their hate is sucking up the positive energy that could be circulating. And I bet he’s in his late 50s, but more like 60′s and wishes he was born in 1760s… I wish he was too.

What I see living in the White House is a disgusting piece of Commie sh*t. Commies come in all colors and they are all trash, so don’t try your race baiting BS on me you ignorant moron.

Here is what you stupid welfare recipients just don’t get:

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody, anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” – Dr. Adrian Rogers

No deal ith that.

“F” Obama, his wife Rupaul his little cimmie piglets and all the idiots who voted for him.

Obama has done more damage to the USA then Bin Laden ever has or ever could.

It must really suck for you that the 1st black president is such a miserable failure who has been and continues to fiscally abuse America’s children. The damage he has done in one year cannot be repaired in our children’s lifetime. But Nobrain360 – it is just a little over your head, funny thing is, it is basic economics: You don’t spend money that you don’t have.

You see Bush started this bail out crap, Obama just made it fifty times worse. Yes, I did blame Bush for starting it. Last time I checked he wasn’t black you race baiting toilet bowl feeder.

I just can’t believe what a complete fricking idiot you had to be to vote for the Commie with all the evidence against him.

Castro = Big Government
Chavez = Big Government
Mao = Big Government
Saddam Hussein = Big Government

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
- William John Henry Boetcker

Big Governemt or Freedom – You can’t have both

I want to make my on decissions. I don’t want Big Government making my decisions for me. The lefties needs the Government to make their decisions for them because they are too stupid to make their decissions. They don’t want personal responsabilty, they just want to be taken care of… Idiots!!!!!

Noelle360′s use of the word “beautiful” to describe the President is a bit off-putting to me. If a conservative poster here would use the same word in defense of Sarah Palin . . . things would get “ugly.” No offense to Noelle though, she’s entitled to the way she wants to think.

Anyway, pundits on the right and the left are ripe with hypocrisy. Comments made by Beck and Olbermann just this week stand out as prime examples of what we all know: they’re all shills.

Maher’s character though seems to only appeal to the most deviant immature on the left, an audience I’m sure practical liberals do not want exposed as easy prey for conservative criticism.

Why don’t you tell us who Marxism was named after? Then tell us who wrote the Communist Manifesto? Why don’t you tell us what the 10 Pillars of Communism are?

You should know these things since you voted for a Commie.

In the mean time, I will tell you what Capitalism is: Capitalism is the American Dream. Capitalism is an opportunity and not a guarantee. Capitalism is the reason immigrants want to leave their Socialist and Communist countries and come to the United States. Capitalism is what makes this country great. Capitalism is what is threatened when you bail out auto companies and banks that should fail. Capitalism is what is threatened when the government forces banks to loan money to unqualified losers. Capitalism is a chance to make enough money to make all your dreams come true. Socialism is when they take that money you worked for and give it to someone else. Socialism is a stepping stone to Communism.

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students.The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” – Barak Obama

Also in Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father,” he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as “Frank.” referring to Frank Marshall Davis. Obama has called him is mentor and Davis was a member of the Communist Party. Obama’s Mother and Father were both Marxist that left him at a young age to promote and fight for Marxism.

Obama has admitted attending “social conferences” and reading a lot of Marxist literature.

Obama has pledged to “redistribute wealth” which is a Marxist philosophy.

Obama kicked off his political career in the home of Bill Aryes who has admitted to being a communist. Obama has appointed admitted Communist ot his adminastration, (see Van Jones)

Trying have any sort of debate on Mediate amounts to a snake chasing his own tail.

If I were you, I would just introduce content to the audience here and post a link to your blog for more of the same. Hey, maybe you’ll get enough hits where you can get advertisers and make money on your own site.

After all, you’re obviously conservative and this site is owned by a liberal pundit so every time you click here you put money in his pocket.

I’d guess that if Sarah Palin or any conservative had said the same thing about Obama, Bill Maher would’ve pitched such a fit he’d have been writhing on the floor, in danger of swallowing his tongue. That’s called hypocrisy.

Bill Maher from ‘Real Time’ 2008:
” Someone this week released this 2006 photograph of Barack Obama provocatively dressed as Aladdin. The point: to remind voters that Barack Hussein Obama is a weirdo, from some place weird like Morocco or something! He’s not like us. He shrieks when he prays! He watches soccer. He reads from right to left. And he has a huge, uncircumcised cock that smells like curry. I know, just vaguely foreign.”

Are we going to get all bent out of shape every time Maher speaks in the fashion he’s been speaking in for years? Cripes! It’s HBO.

Looks like Nobrain360 has stuck her head back in the sand unable to respond to the facts as I have laid them out.

cOME ON AMERICAN COWBOY

I think Bill Maher is very funny snd I enjoy his show as another political forum because he gets good guests from across the spectrum.

that being said there are sometimes when he is not funny; just offensive. Let me enumerate:

1. the comment about the 9-11 terrorists that got him kicked off the air in 2001 was stupid and he got what he deserved. The free market of ideas rejects stupid ones.

2. his movie “religious” was dumb because as we have seen with Acorn Lad O’Keef any fool can walk into a joint/church with a hidden camera and make people with faith look stupid. Dumb movie and not on par with a documentarian like Michael or even John Zeigler.

You follwoing this? Are you smart enough?

I will continue.

3. His recent joke about the nut not falling far from the tree about Rand paul? not funny cause somebody else wrote it in 1776-yeah the old falling from the tree troke is that old-adding expletives to it is not humor in the 21rst century.

4. His comment about wanting a black president with a piece in his pants b-slapping people is dumb AND RACIST. I strongly suggest you contact Michael Steele and get your people on it cause its a pretty clean shot-he’s guilty on this one and if you a SINGLE ounce of integrity your brent bozell media researcvh council bozos would take him OUT for this cause its freaking RACIST.

But you know what? You won’t pull the trigger because that would mean that racism is not just a red hearing that liberals use to discredit conservatives.

You may contact RNC HONCHO Steele here

http://gop.com/

As I write this not a single conservative blog has picked up the story-even the Maher loathing MRC and Brent Bozell are ignoring this.

One sure does wonder.

Be a hero for your people COWBOY-break the story and take down Maher-if you have the guts.

opps Hotair just picked up-now lets watch the GOP and the conservatives shill give this a big fat pass.

Bill Maher tolerant?
What a joke!
He proclaims to be an Atheist, but what he really is, is an anti-Christian bigot. He despises Christians.

Bootle, and don’t forget when Maher likened mentally disabled children to dogs. He was forced to apologize onair for that one.

This Obama comment from Maher illustrates nicely the deep racism on the left. Mahe, no doubt, thinks he’s paying blacks a compliment by equating them with violence and thugs. Reminds me of a very similar comment from Micahel Moore. After 9/11, Mikey blamed the victims of the hijacked planes for their own deaths by saying they were too white and lazy to actually physically take on the hijackers. Mike said that a black man would have taken care of them, cause, you know, blacks are violent and all.

ha ha ha ha oxycon-NO THIS ABOUT RACISM YOU NANCY!!!

Do something and show us racism exists.

Can’t do it or say it can ya?

ki9

he should applogize4 for this; guess what he won’t cause there’s no pressure.

Liberals don’t care and republicans are hypocrites.

I don’t defend Maher. I don’t care if he is a racist or not. I think people have the right to be racist if they want. I is a free country.

But you must have missed my point.

Obama got 97.5% of the black vote. It is blacks that voted based on race. Besides that only leaves 2.5% of blacks that seem to show signs of intellegents. Anyone who voted for a Commie is a moron regardless of color.

Here is your typical black voter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyvqhdllXgU

Oops – intelligence. Before you fricken libtards start spell checking

You cant seem to get the facts straight or make an informed vote but you sure can use the spell check

“I don’t defend Maher. I don’t care if he is a racist or not. I think people have the right to be racist if they want. I is a free country”

I thought so. Thanks for saying it. I could not have expressed that stupid sentiment any better. Yes only an IDIOT would say people have a right to be racist. You want to know why Obama bot 97% of the back vote?

If McCain or Palin had said the above moron’s right-they would have gotten 100% or not only the black vote but the latino vote the jewish vote, asian, etc.

Thankfully darwinism takes care of people who think like American Cowboy.

You are the not the typical white bigot-nay JUST A SIMPLE MINDED FOOL- and the reason why you lost the senate, the house, the potus.

Good Day Sir.*

Are you serious?
Disciplined mind?

He argues the Atheist Theory against the Religious Theory, both are “un-provable”, what’s your definition of a waste of time?

Hey I know, lets throw in “Chariots of the Gods!”

A Disciplined mind, please.

It is a free country. The Black Panthers, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Rev Wright can all hate Whitey and the Klan can hate who ever they want. No one can tell someone how to think no matter how much Obama wants too.

Do I think the Tea Party are racists? No. Am I a racist? No Are the blacks that voted for Obama just because he as black racists? Yes

“F” you and everyone who voted for the Commie

“Bill actually has real black friends.” Trouble is, it’s a hundred dollars for a half hour. LOL

American Cowboy

I never said you were a racist-I said YOU WERE A SIMPLE MINDED FOOL.

Its pretty obvious from all your brilliant posts who the race baitor is; but don’t get me wrong-you’re no racist son, you’re just a sorry waste of empy space. And from all your inspid moronic posts its clear you don’t have enough brain cells to actually qualify as a racist-at least they have an opinion if even a wrong one.

You’re just sitting on the floor spining like a top in your own refuse. Hint; empty the diaper-don’t eat what’s inside.

Seriously Frances

You were dead on the mark with this one and the reasons while partisans on both sides of the ilse are
giving Maher a pass are myriad and should be explored more.

Certainly if Beck or Limbaugh had said this it would be on Media Matters five seconds later, I mean who are kidding here?

Remember what I said about ULTIMATE FACT CHECK.ORG? This could be one of the areas that needs
a little independent monitoring.

hey ms. martel you do realize that was a comedian on his comedy show using humor to express his frustration with the lack activity in stopping the oil spew, right? as for the racial aspect of the remark, i’m black and am able to glean from it both his frustration and the humor. lighten up lady. stop trying, most of you mediaite writers to stop jumping on every little thing and trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Why would anyone be surprised by Bill Maher saying something awful? LOOK at the man and what he says, he’s one of the most miserable, loathsome people in America. He honestly looks like he’s not experienced a moment of joy in decades. Every day that Bill Maher goes without killing himself or one of his wayward hookers I am legitimately surprised.

Sunnyr you frickin moron – I think the 97.5% of blacks that voted for the Commie saw he was one of them.

Turns out only 2.5% of blacks have half a brain. If you voted for Obama you have about as much sense as the juriors in the O.J. Simpson Murder trial. “F” Obama and “F” everyone that voted for this piece of Commie trash.
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
First of all, I am NOT a frickin’ moron! You must be new to Mediaite OR you don’t read any of the posts but your own drivel. I am NO FAN of Comrade Obama, I did not vote for the Empty Suit and I am counting the days until he is either impeached or thrown out of office. I detest RACIST’S however, and it appears that Bill Maher is obsessed with Obama’s race. I detest the man, Obozo, because of his Marxist/Socialist/Communist policies, not because he happens to be black, or half and half, or whatever he is. Bill Maher is a smarmy racist. Are you?

________________________________________________

How is Maher a racist? Maher voted for the commie. How many folks that do not like blacks would vote for Commie Obammie. It does not make any sense. BTW I hate Mahar. But I hate race baiting more.

It’s a free country. You should be able to be a racist wiether you are a Blank Panther or a Klans man. Niether of which, I support.

I see a lot of liberals on these threads, who get mad when you make blanket statements about liberals. But the fact is that mainstream liberals come off as anti-Christian, anti-military, anti-business, anti-American. But I see a lot of us getting mad at the same thing. Perhaps, and this may scare you, you’re all not as liberal as you think you are. Cheers.

One thing I hate about Bill Maher is how he steals my jokes… I was going to think up that joke next week and have people look at me like a hypocrite… Fuck Bill Maher… Now people hate him when they should hate me… Fuck HBO

A BEAUTIFUL BLACK MAN AND HIS FAMILY is leaving in the White House. Now deal!

Ha Ha Freudian slip Nolle.

I know white peeps (who told me) they voted for Obama because he his black. At the time, part of me could understand that victory. But a better part of me understood that to be racism.

Yeehaw!!!

@RogueComic….hopefully the quote is not taken out of context…”this site is owned by a liberal pundit so every time you click here you put money in his pocket.”.

Personally, I have always looked at this site as an aggregation of the opinions of journalists. It does seem to skew to the left…but the forums are open.

One of the most frightening things in the world is to go back and look at what you typed the next day.

Yep, sounds racist to me. But an offensive comedian? This is news?

What’s more appalling to me is a U.S. President who talks about kicking ass. It reminds me of when San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown bragged about stealing towels from the White House.

Yes He can make racial jokes-and not be offencive. He can even use the N word in a proper context . It’s all about Who, how and when he say it.. I was surprised with all the coments.I’m from EU and just recently got to know Bill Maher. As a Pro American I wish there were more americans like him.
If You think he’s not funny – your views must be in total oposition, which makes you one of that tipical american – not popular/hated world wide
