Bill Maher should be fired.
It's not acceptable that in this country in 2011 a mother of five children should be called such a disgusting name on television.
When Imus only chuckled at someone else's comment of "nappy-headed ho's" he was immediately dismissed. Why? Because blacks threatened to boycott CBS. And guess what? Boycotts work.
Where is the boycott of Time-Warner after Maher's insane remarks?
Anyone with a pencil or a computer should contact Time Warner and tell them we're going to boycott all Time Warner television shows, films and products until Maher is ousted for his foul comment last week.
As of today, Sarah Palin looks like a very viable Presidential candidate for 2012. Nobody fries the circuits of the left like she does, so she must be doing something right. William Buckley said he'd trust the first 50 names in the phone book over the entire Harvard faculty. Any one of those names could run the country better than the guy currently in the White House.
Boycott Time-Warner until Maher is sent packing.

Here's Maher and his putrid rant...

Don’t you understand, Dr? The left can do these things, the right can’t. Besides ... she’s white. Double besides ... she’s Sarah Palin. Total free pass on that topic.
Totally agree with your sentiments though.
First time I’ve ever agreed with you.
Good for you. Me, too.
In this day and age when advertising dollars are so dear, and dwindling audiences have a lot of choices, CEOs pay attention to canceled subscriptions and movie boycotts.
You know what should really happen? Palin’s husband should make a private, personal call to Maher, man-to-man, and tell him to cease and desist immediately. Or, better yet, contact Maher in person. He should tell Maher, in a calm, clear manner that he does not appreciate this vile language being said about his wife and demand a public apology.
This is the least any reasonable man should do to defend his wife.
Wussies like Maher almost always back down.
I totally agree with you. You’re absolutely right about how Imus got in so much trouble, and Maher is getting away with it.
Paddy Drunk a$$ed agitator with no real purpose beyond money and being childish with a potty mouth when 50 years old.
I’m betting he has a squad of big bodyguards who go with him everywhere. If I was calling Gov. Sarah Palin names half that nasty, I know I would.
If he gets fired or silenced, we're no better than the liberals we complain about for getting ABC to edit their "Road to 9/11" project...but it's different when WE do it.
Ignore him. The only time his boring show gets any publicity is when he calls conservatives names, and we respond. Let him call names--how are they hurting? All they're doing is helping...him, and his boring show, which will fade if his "Look at me!" tactics stop getting the attention he wants and needs.
Agreed, I love a good boycott, the junk is probably from China anyway.
Todd should do us all a favor and crack Maher’s f-cking jaw into pieces.
Four of them were The River. The calf is being born in the barn, the tractor has tipped over on Sissy Spacek, the creek is rising and I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE!!!!
You’re right and your post is excellent. He should be banned from appearing on Fox News for sure, but we’ll see. Greta is talking about him now.
***He’s one reason why I don’t subscribe to HBO. I haven’t subscribed to HBO since 1991 and even then they only showed the same 6 movies over and over again.***
Are they STILL doing that?
I dumped them more years ago than I can remember for the same reason. Oh, and I signed up with them in the first place because they promised college courses. Eventually, they finally had one: It was about fourth grade grammar, and the teacher was black and the student was an imbecilic white male.
Yeah, with Kirsten Powers, who already told everyone what she thought of this story on Fox News Watch. She merely said it was much ado about nothing and that Maher is a comedian and what he has to say shouldn’t be taken seriously. Her words, not mine.
I don’t know and I frankly since I am not paying for that trash, I don’t care.
What, and fire the liberal and mainstream’s poster child?
Bill Maher should be put in a room for 5 minutes with Todd Palin - problem solved.
FIOS now has TV.
I shall look into ditching Time Warner based on this.
This clown is just another brand of Charlie Sheen. Quit giving him attention, website hits, and TV ratings and he’ll go away. Call the cable company and tell them to keep their skiffy HBO, your life would be richer if you went outside and counted the tulips.
I’m utterly baffled that anybody could stand to watch ten consecutive seconds of Bill Maher. I’ve tried. His “humor” is sour sarcasm that’s about as funny as nails on a chalk board.
I do not understand how Hollywood picks the comedians that “make it”. Most of them are the most unfunny people on the planet. Billy Crystal, Gilbert Gottfried, Sinbad, Whoopie Goldberg, Roseanne Barr, Kathy Griffin, do I need to go on? The really funny ones get some play on Last Comic Standing and then disappear back into obscurity. Bill Maher is not only extremely not-funny, he’s downright annoying and outrageously arrogant. He gets an HBO special, a star on the Walk of Fame, and the red carpet wherever he goes. I’ll never understand it.
