(Mediaite) -- Last week, actress Gwyneth Paltrow tweeted a picture of herself with Kanye West and Jay-Z with the caption “N**gas in Paris.” This set off a huge firestorm with people hurling accusations of racism her way. Wait until these same people find out her Iron Man co-star once performed in blackface!
Bill Maher dismissed the whole thing as a stupid internet controversy, and suggested that if you were looking for a good example of what a racist is actually like, you need only make your way over to the Drudge Report.

If I call them “Fried Chicken Littles”, does that make me racist too?
Perhaps little billy maher should read about real rascists, like the icon Woodrow Wilson, the worst president of the 20th century, if at not All time.
PERHAPS the stupid twerp should be apologizing for being in the party that originated the KKK!
blessings, bobo
Bill Maher makes desperate look calm.
Am I missing something, or is the layout Bill Maher shows wrong?
Maher shows alleged screen caps of the title “Drudge Report” on top of a centered photo all on a white background. When Drudge has a single photo, the photo is ABOVE the words “Drudge Report”, with a story specific caption between the photo and “Drudge Report.”
Photos below the words “Drudge Report” are in line with his links, so you’d see text in the screen cap alongside the photo if that’s what Maher was showing.
For example, here is the page where Drudge showed Mike Tyson: http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2012/04/12/20120412_152203.htm
Maher’s people photoshopped out the rest of the page to make it look like this was the featured photo... and centered it so it wasn’t so obvious a photoshop.
Curiosity and procrastination got the better of me, so I looked up all the photos (since Maher claimed they were all from April, it was fairly easy). I used www.drudgerportarchive.com, which doesn’t take a perfect screen cap. Anyone know how to get a true screen cap? These are the dates:
April 11, 2012: Holder-Sharpton (actual lead photo was George Zimmerman)
April 12, 2012: Mike Tyson (actual lead photo was Kim Jong Un)
April 17, 2012, Farrakhan (actual lead photo was NYC skyline)
April 27, 2012, Michael Jordan (top photo: Obama in Air Force One)
April 9, 2012: Can’t find a photo, but that’s the only April story I can find on Rev. Wright
April 5, 2012: Again, can’t find the photo, but that’s the only April story on Marion Barry
