Bill Maher: 'The Racism is Coming from Rush Limbaugh'

Did you know that the racism in our country is coming from Rush Limbaugh?

That's what HBO's Bill Maher said on Friday's "Real Time."

Not just that, but also the people who are buying guns and ammunition since Election Day are doing so "because they're afraid that Obama and his Negro army are going to come and get" them.

I kid you not.

Such offenses occurred in the following exchange between Maher and his conservative guest Andrew Breitbart (video embedded below the fold, relevant section at 2:37):

Keep going, Maher. Payback in 2010 will be sweet. These idiots really know how to overplay their hand, sheesh

[George Smiley]

I ignore Bill Maher. That’s the best solution.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite guest-hosted Limbaugh shows. Walter Williams was in for Rush. As it happened, the Doc was about to come of age to be eligible for Medicare, and the staff was kidding him about how now he could get his Viagra paid for by the government. To which the Doc replied (and this is why he’s my favorite Limbaugh guest host ever):

“Brothers don’t need Viagra.”

[DesertRhino]

Maher must need ratings. He is hoping Rush will pick a fight with him.

Bill Maher: 'The Racism is Coming from Rush Limbaugh'

Oh... and so Bill Maher pays for a couple of "crack ho's" and thinks he's Gandhi?

[pray4liberty]

Yawn...yet another liberal has-been grasping for an additional 15 minutes of fame at someone else’s expense.

[ponygirl]

I can’t even watch the video. I’m afraid I might chuck my computer through the window. Bill Maher is an arrogant, putrid, hateful little f#ck with a schnoz that should be on a geological survey somewhere.

[TurtleUp]

Does Maher actually think anyone cares what color skin is used to cover a socialist and his thugs? Hitler was a white national socialist. Stalin was a white soviet socialist. Patriotic Americans are treating Obama exactly like they treated those two because he's the same, just with minor stylistic differences.

[Rome2000]

That Maher is a loudmouth.

No matter what he says, he still can't get ratings.

"Look at me, I'm controversial too!"

Problem is that when people do look at him, they change the channel quick.

[Ladysmith]

Double whammy - Rush ignores him and we don’t bother with his show...

[culpeper]

Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, two useful idiots for the ultimate village idiot.

[junta]

That idiot could no more define the word “racism” with any clarity and then apply it to anything in America (save the BS on college campi and Bill Ayers’ mouth)

[Rome2000]

attention whore (plural attention whores)

1. (Internet, slang) Someone who craves attention and is not above soliciting it via deliberately meaningless or provocative tactics.

[Dallas59]

"Negro Army"? LOL!!!!!

They'll have to fight the "Hispanic Army" for land. The "Whitey Army" has given up.

[junta]

Maybe it is a rap act?

[Big_Monkey]

"If anyone fits the title “Blithering Idiot” more than Bill Maher, I do not know them.

Maher is only an amateur contender for the title of "Blithering Idiot". He pales in comparison to the likes of Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon and my personal favorite, Keith Olbermann. Maher's got some real work to do before he's legitimate. But, I'm sure he willing and able to get there.

[Dallas59]

Blacks people have guns too...and live in Oklahoma.

[hecht]

obama isn;t negro. he’s not even half negro. He’s half capoid

[lucias_clay]

The funniest thing is that all of the “Rush Racism” is just Rush quoting the left. All Maha does is point it out.

[Finalapproach29er]

Rush should have never defended this idiot when on ABC he called our military leaders cowards, several years ago.
