As an Irish hoodlum, Gloves is officially offended, appalled and aghast.

Time to see a counselor to try to get over this.

“philosophically, he’s a privileged contrarian dick”

So are your heroes at MSNBC, but you promote their jackassery with squeals of delight.

I think he spouts the idiocy most of the left agrees with, but are too cowardly to say. And you’re right, the left always gets a free pass on their racism, because..well, because it’s the left. All one needs to do is which a day or two of MSNBC to realize the left is always popping off on race and hardly ever getting called on it. 

Pretty soon Matthews will see a Republican with a black tie criticizing Obama and figure there must be a racist correlation. If it wasn’t so damaging, it would be hilarious. 

Tommy, I read your piece before watching the video. When I watched it, I realized that your article is very misleading. His frustration is with on line piracy and basically says that at least they are trying to do something about it…..     Online piracy is as easy as uploading a video. The tools are everywhere for anyone of any race. You’re the racist  who assumed that black people aren’t smart enough otherwise you would have included Asians, Indians and Hispanics….. Like someone else once typed in your comment section before, you should just limit yourself to write about the story and leave its analysis to others.  

Wow, Bill. “Caucasian looting”? Really??? What is black looting???

Tommy he is firmly in the liberal camp, as libertarians actually hold some conservative views and values, and don’t make millions attacking conservatism. By the way, I know many conservatives who smoke pot and…screw. Imagine that. Only they don’t believe they have the right to screw their neighbors, their neighbor’s wives, daughters, sons or their fellow citizens through the government.

We also know he is a liberal clown, because he is a racist, and closet homophobe,who, like all liberals, will eventually show what a hypocrite he really is when he lets his guard down and goes “off ‘prompter”.

The mental midget, and midget in stature, Maher, makes his millions attacking conservatives, as do the mental midget minions of expansive liberal government. It’s all they’ve got. And obviously it pays well.

Here is Maher and meathead Robby Reiner actually laughing while admitting that their audience are SHEEEEEEEEEP.

Bill Maher Admits His Audience Are ‘Brainwashed Liberals’

“libertarian” is a word for conservatives who reserve the right to smoke pot and screw

That was downright funny, Tommy.

That happened during the primary with Sarah Palin. I think it was the Kos kids that actually had a post up about her wearing white blouses, and that it was code to her base. I kid you not.

“If the people he listens to would call him out on it, maybe Bill Maher would adjust his attitude.”

Why would they ever do that? I mean, you are talking about the people who actually watch him.  They love it, and don’t see anything wrong with it.

I wouldn’t call it “Appalling” as Tommy described in the article above.I find it unappealing. I think Bill thought he was being edgy and hip.
I do agree with a lot of what Bill says. Not everything.This is one one those things. I am not a Ditto head!

Maher thinks black people aren’t smart enough to figure out all that computer stuff.  He apparently thinks it takes a white man.  How else do you explain this “joke”?

Yes, I agree that it was a jump to assume black.

Mahers statement is still racist – Caucasian looting

Unless it’s just looting, the assumption will be non-white could not engage in such

Yes, sorry Tommy.

Bill was being MUCH more inclusive in his racist sounding joke.

This is a pathetic attempt of control. To say that its Caucasian looting is absurd. Oh, white people are the only ones that download shit illegally? No.  

typical anti white crap from the left, nothing to see here.

I don’t agree with Maher on everything but to regard his comments as “appallingly racist” is silly.  It’s the same reverse racism false equivalency that the right uses all the time to marginalize their own racism.  ”Caucasian looting” was referring to the fact that the majority of media pirates in America are privileged and/or white (a true statement of course, because the majority of PEOPLE in America are privileged and/or white).  In regard to the implied thought of blacks being people who loot things, I just don’t have a problem with that, and regard it similarly to the use of the pejorative term “white trash” to refer to redneck white people.  It’s just our culture to relate new things to old things, even if the old thing isn’t very pleasant.

“but philosophically, he’s a privileged contrarian dick.”… Ka-Boom!! 

Given that the RIAA and the MPAA’s clients are reporting record profits, I don’t buy all this piracy bull crap. 

I get ALL my content on-line, through iTunes, off of the web, by paying for my downloads (Louis C.K. $5 show which earned him a million bucks profit instead of a crummy $10k for the night.)

That’s what has the RIAA and the MPAAs clients scared. The producers will realize that it costs nothing to discover and get content off of the internet and very little to distribute it so you don’t need the record and movie studios anymore.

Affirmative Action is non-Caucasian looting.

The scary part is that SOPA and PIPA might have been labeled anti-piracy, but Maher missed the entire point… they were draconian censorship bills.  Maher is a self-centered idiot who thinks that the “pirates” who downloaded his little movie would ever have bought it.  He should be damn happy that new people watched his stuff and in the future they might buy something of his… but I doubt that will happen now.  Truth is piracy is a small thing… most people who pirate are also huge buyers of media (music, movies etc.) but the industry has insisted of controlling availability… Instead of figuring out how to participate… they hold on to antiquated models which are doomed to failure and have decided that it is cheaper to get government to rig the system in their favor at the cost of liberty versus competing. Maher has no idea of the damage SOPA and PIPA would do to the actual Internet, Cloud, DNS, Personal Sharing and business…. he is only concerned with his movie… I repeat… an idiot.

I think Bill was Right! On Honky Crackers have a computer, the internet so it must be those Bastards!

Sorry, Only

Maher has been obsessed with Obama’s race from the moment he took office.  Examples from the first year: “Did you notice that when Obama met the Queen of England she held her purse closer?”
“Obama visited Nancy Reagan. She checked that her hallway vase was still there.”
“Obama and Biden went to a popular hamburger joint last week. Biden asked Obama if he wanted the fried chicken.”  In all these cases, the butt of the joke was supposed to be the other person — the queen, Mrs. Reagan, or Biden; but in each case, it was a concocted racist remark put into someone else’s mouth, but based on Maher’s fixation of Obama’s race.

Hope you think that racism is wrong no matter the person’s politics is

Tommy, you need to work on making your Writing clear and comprehensible. And you might try to get a sense of humor.

REPUBLICANS SUCK! Yeah!

Tommy
 If you define libertarians as conservatives who reserve the right to smoke pot and screw, then what exactly is a left-leaning libertarian? Seems like a rather counter-intuitive descriptor you ginned up so you could make a rather meaningless point about Maher not being a conventional liberal, which he pretty obviously is. You’ve criticized other liberals before, I don’t see why you feel the need to distance Maher from the Left.

You have nailed it here.   I have been trained in every brand of digital theft by poor children on Chicago’s S.Side.  What are they stealing?  Rosetta Stone is huge.  Photoshop.  Games certainly.  Music for sure.  Movies as you would expect.  All children are driven to stay current… to be on the edge of developments they observe.  It is an impulse of youth we are favored to remember.  

LMAO Bill Maher is not a racist. It is racist assuming that when he made that statement he was talking about Black people. Im an African-American and didn’t take offense to that at all. He was most likely referring to the computer geeks like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. So i laugh at all of you who have a stick up your ass pointing your finger. Bill Maher has dated all African-American women if you didn’t know, dumb-asses

“Religulous grossed over $13 million after having a production budget of $2.5 million. It is seventh among the highest grossing documentaries in the US and was the highest grossing documentary of 2008″ 2.5 – 13 = 10.5 Million in profit. mmmm…. you better run to the food bank… cause you lost so much money.

I think the distinction Bill’s making is the double-standard with respect to how aggressively the LAW pursues online piracy versus hands-on looting, say during the Rodney King riots or Hurricane Katrina. A guy steals a toaster oven, the police hunt him down like a dog and he spends 5 years in jail. But some habitual internet pirate (a WHITE COLLAR looter) can rest assured that nobody is actively hunting him down. Race isn’t the issue, but the nature of the crime and the stigma attached to one versus the other.

Somebody in Hollywood doesn’t know what the Hell is going on? Shocking! Bill should have looked at the bright side of internet piracy, it saved him hundreds of thousands of people he’d have to scream “NO REFUNDS!” at after they were done watching his terrible movie.

Mahar just does what all leftwing kooks do, he makes these idiotic statements about race as a way to tar people whom he disgrees politically and to show how “enlightened” he is. But, the only thing he succeeds in doing is showing, how you noted, his own fixation on the color of peoples skin.
