Alabama Democrats Use Bill Maher for Fundraising

Jim Geraghty

March 7, 2012

The Democratic party continues its bold stand against hateful rhetoric, such as the C-word, this time in Alabama:

An Evening with Bill Maher

March 17, 2012 Chairman’s Reception at 7pm 

Performance at 8pm

Come join Alabama Democrats at the Von Braun Center Concert Hall in Huntsville for an Evening with Bill Maher. 700 Monroe Street Southwest, Huntsville, AL 35801.

Tickets are $100 and include admission to the pre-event Chairman’s reception and prime seating at the performance.

Paid for by the Alabama Democratic Party. P.O. Box 950. Montgomery, AL 36101. (334) 262-2221. (800) 995-3386.

Now, if every Republican officeholder is expected to comment on and denounce Rush Limbaugh for using the S-word, why isn’t every Democratic officeholder expected to comment on and denounce Bill Maher for using the C-word?

“Oh, he’s just a comedian.” No, he’s a Democratic-party fundraiser. Maher donated $1 million to Obama’s SuperPAC.

Why is one acceptable, to the point where Maher is still welcome to headline fundraisers, but Rush is supposed to be persona non grata?

KEYWORDS: billmaher; corruption; democrats; elections; fraud; liberalfascism; maher; nobama2012; obama; partisanmediashills; rushlimbaugh; sandrafluke
I'd almost be willing to bet this goes on as scheduled. I only say almost because I'm not a betting man.

This is why I do not donate to the RNC. Where are they in supporting what is right and true?

Why doesn’t the GOP run a tv ad airing the MAher clip? Or was it not on tape?

10 days is plenty of time to prepare a conservative welcome.

A double standard is the only standard RATS have.

Yet let’s ban Rush for calling a spade a slut.

Hopefully the locals will be out with picket signs. This man is vile! That Alabama Democrats would allign themselves with this worm says all you need to know about that party in that state.

A vile, vile man.

Wealth-wise, Maher is a non-entity. $1m is probably 10% to 20% of his wealth. And yet the guy ponied up. Compare that with the GOP billionaires. People who donated a few million dollars, and preen about it. If GOP tycoons continue to be this tight-fisted, and we're outspent 3 to 1 as in 2008, Jesus Christ could show up and we'd lose.

Bill Maher is as popular with Alabama Democrats as George Wallace

REALLY bad idea. Maher is a very polarizing figure and this could well backfire on them.

Bill Maher is slated to be the keynote speaker at a March 17 reception in Huntsville in honor of Democratic Party chairman Mark Kennedy, a former associate justice on the Alabama Supreme Court

“Kennedy, the son-in-law of former Govs. George and Lurleen Wallace, acknowledged his ties to the Wallace family and how the family will always live under shadow of George Wallace’s stand in the schoolhouse door to prevent integration of the University of Alabama.”

Hmm, I wonder if he'll bring his girlfriend.

This ever classy, waste of otherwise valuable protoplasm and pathetic excuse for a life form is seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up!
