Maher's 'Joke': Hopes Palin Reincarnated as Wolf Shot From Plane
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/20/2008 11:40:40 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

H/t reader Harry S. Imagine that a prominent media conservative jokingly hoped, in any way shape or form, that a member of the Dem presidential ticket would be shot. How long until the MSM and various others demanded he be fired, a Secret Service investigation launched, etc?

But when Bill Maher jokes about Sarah Palin being shot? Silence, except for the raucous laughter of the studio crowd. Maher offered up his violent fantasy on this past Friday's Real Time on HBO in a regular feature devoted to exploring foreign countries to which people might consider moving in the event of a McCain victory. India was the subject of the week, which led to Maher's invocation of recincarnation, and his "hope" for how Sarah Palin would come back . . . .

Segment begins 1:13 into the YouTube here.

Did he say that before or after the McCain/Palin bus was hit today?

Please Bill, you and your open-minded, nonracist, tolerant pals, go “diversify” India.

I’ll hope to hear your voice the next time I call customer service.

And the Secret Service doesn’t visit Maher’s home because he was “being FUNNY.” Killing a VP candidate is such a good joke.

I believe that Bill Maher is the ugliest person on this planet, inside and out.

“...if I had a horse.”

Why use a horse? I’d use an Ass.

This stuff sickens me. Not the individual incidents, but the larger scope.

Maher continues to find work, and is paid very well. People laugh at the venom he passes off as humor. Maher is not only tolerated in today’s America, people like Maher and Keith Olbermann are celebrated.

Our country is sick.

Does this mean that every woman like Sarah should also be shot?

One day, when something really tragic does happen along these lines, unconscionable rodents like Maher will not utter a word, nor feel a single pang of responsibility.

what are the ratings for this alleged ‘show’

does anyone watch it?

He would not have a job if he were not spewing liberal hate-speach on demand. And he might even know it.

Bill Maher, in a wonderful example of karma, would be reincarnated as a sewer rat - one that drowns, over and over, through several hundred lifetimes.

“Our country is sick.”

Indeed.

The downward cultural spiral and coarsening of popular entertainment continues.

Is it any wonder the Islamic scum thought we’d be an easy mark?

The good news is, I just discovered a local channel which runs the occasional Ozzie and Harriet episode.
