Maher Defends Calling Palin C-Word, Says Limbaugh Attacked A ‘Civilian’
Mediaite ^ | March 15, 2012 | James Crugnale

Bill Maher spoke with ABC’s Jake Tapper about whether there was a double standard for liberals using offensive language towards conservative women. In the interview, the HBO host responded to the criticism over his obscene remarks about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and defended calling her the c-word.

Tapper asked Maher, in the wake of the controversy over Rush Limbaugh‘s comments about Sandra Fluke, whether there was a double standard, with the media accepting offensive language when it is used by liberals against conservative women. “Is that a fair comparison? You have certainly used offensive words to describe some politicians you don’t like.”

“I’m a comedian, not just a guy who says he is, like Rush, but someone who -– well, you saw me do stand-up last year in D.C. There’s a big difference between just saying you’re a comedian and going out and getting thousands of people to laugh hard for 90 minutes,” Maher argued.

She didn’t testify as an expert before Congress, she participated in a hoax, faux “Congressional hearing.”. Also, who gives a full-tuition scholarship for law school to a 30-year-old “student” from wealthy family? There are a lot of questions this lady may not want to answer for fear of revealing her role in a fraud.

We in South Carolina have been blessed with bad publicity ever since the Articles of Secession were published here in Columbia in 1861.

Liberals regard the Palmetto State as backward, racist, and unfit to live in, with rock-bottom vital statistics to match.

That perception alone has kept our liberal population small and manageable, as well as that of our muzzies, who see us “infidels” as whiskey-swigging gun-toting Bible-thumping Crusaders.

Which many of us are, thank you very much.

;^)

He dressed up as Steve Irwin for Halloween

Yep, that was sure a hoot. I wonder if Maher sent an autographed picture of himself in that getup, with the barb sticking out of his chest, to the late Irwin's wife and children?

Absolutely agree! If being surrounded by simple God fearing people who STILL have a good nature despite national elite perception ( who cares!) and look after each other withour government prompting “ cause we are neighbors” makes the squishy liberals uncomfortable, I’m more than happy for them to exercise their right to stay away! ;)

Anybody "especially sluts" who want the Government to force companies or churches (taxpayers) to
supplement sexual behavior or anything, IS a valid target for TAXPAYERS to attack!

Sorry, but when liberal activist Sandra Fluke actively participated in the democratic faux presentation she made herself a public person.

As such, she has no expectation of privacy.

As far as calling her a “civilian” who does he think he is?

Stupid Maher, all of them are civilians, idiot.

Rush, Palin, Fluck, and you. I am not quite sure if you are human though.

When I wrote `Crusaders’ I thought later it should have been `rednecks’.

Both are honorable G-d-fearing titles applied to good Christian people. Salt of the earth, I think.

Back to topic, this just occurred to me:

Does Maher have bodyguards? Well, does this punk have them?

Just askin’.

Reading and listening to all the liberals out there trying to justify Bill Maher’s vile slandering of Sarah Palin is laughable and shows what lying hypocrits they are! They say Sarah is fair game because she is a politician............so by their logic they would have no problem if Rush called Hillary Clinton a “cvnt” (Bill Maher’s term for Sarah), “who should have her ovaries ripped out” (liberal talk show host Randie Rhodes quote directed at all conservative women)??................

So does this mean Rush can call people like Pelosi the C word?

Send her to Detroit....she can film the city council and mayor in their attempt to save themselves and their jobs. Then send her out into the hood...she would be ‘jacked’ in no time.
