Bill Maher Curses Out Audience for Not Laughing at Racist Joke

Bill Maher on Friday cursed out his audience for not laughing at a racist joke about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.

When his HBO Real Time attendees fell totally silent after the host said the judge in Florida gave Zimmerman bail under the condition that he only shoot "those kids," Maher raised both middle fingers at the crowd saying, "F--k you...You can get the stick out of your a--. It's just a joke" (video follows with transcript and commentary, serious vulgarity warning):

[bray]

We get it Bill, you are the only non-racist in this country.

Pray for America

[vanilla swirl]

The public is getting sick of Bill

[brivette]

bill, your 15 minutes are up, now get out.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Geez Billy, why so angry? Is it ‘cause you know deep down that you are a totally unfunny loser? Abusing an audience of people who chose to come see you is probably not your best strategy...

[Uncle Ike]

Bill Maher has an audience??

Who knew??

(Excluding, of course, the Newsbusters crew who, apparently, hang on his every word...)

[Dan Nunn]

Huh? I don't think the author of the article gets the joke. How is shooting the kids from One Direction racist? I mean, it's not funny, but it's not racist. I think the fact that the author doesn't capitalize One Direction in his transcript proves he doesn't get it. One Direction:

[arderkrag]

I stopped caring what Bill Maher said and did years ago.

[Rappini]

Who watches this guy.

[molson209]

Don Rickles should sue

[dfwgator]

How is shooting the kids from One Direction racist?

Not racist, but apparently it would be homophobic.

[hitchwolf]

Maher is a very very very bad rip off of George Carlin. A total Carlin wannabe. Thing is Carlin never would have told a joke like that because it’s so stupid and unfunny.

[Paladin2]

"It's just a joke"

Apparently not.

[chris37]

F*ck you too, Bill.

[SunkenCiv]

Hence, I keep some Trayvon keywords in a folder called “Partisan Media Shills”. A Kramer Moment Ping. Thanks chessplayer.

[layman]

Considering the quality of his “humor”, potty mouth might be well advised to install a laugh track.

[blueunicorn6]

Obama ate the pooch after Maher screwed it.

Billy Boy Maher is on a race to the bottom and he'll eventually find out that even paying Obama $1,000,000 in protection money wasn't enough to save his career.

[Oratam]

too soon

[altura]

People who actually like and watch Bill Maher deserve The Finger. Actually many fingers.

[samtheman]

Bill, didn’t anybody ever tell you?

It’s not a very good joke if you have to tell people it is one.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Calling Maher a pig would be slandering pigs!

[Bigh4u2]

I’m surprised the audience didn’t get up ‘en-mass’ and walk out.

They should have..

[Tax-chick]

It could be racist - one of the young men is Lebanese or Egyptian. j/k

(I have a pre-teen daughter.)

[Baynative]

...and he gets paid (a lot) for this

[mort56]

Stay Classy, Bill.

[Terry Mross]

The sad thing is this unfunny creep has been paid enough that he actually had a million bucks to give to anyone.

[Tigerized]

Maher and our president seem to have the same reaction from their audiences these days...

...and the same petulant reactions as well.

Time to give both the hook.

[UCANSEE2]

I don’t blame the audience. It’s a pretty lame joke. I don’t even get it.

[Hotlanta Mike]

An Olbermann style crack-up coming soon?

[Huskrrrr]

Here’s hoping you join Keith O.in Central Park, soon.

[smokingfrog]

I think it’s time for some shock therapy.

[X-spurt]

Carlin was funnier (by degrees maybe) because he knew the difference between funny and just rude. Maher’s lib audience prefers rude over funny. Quoting Dr. Strange “liberalism is a mental disorder”.

Typical libtard. Nothing but a bag full of hate and anger

Typical libtard. Nothing but a bag full of hate and anger

They're all just pist (CSD) because their stupidass selfish utopian dreams are just that, DREAMS, and will NEVER be anything more!

Sorry Bill, mainstream America does not share your narrow worldview. Perhaps a job at MSNBC? Your brand of rhetoric would dovetail nicely with likes of Sharpton, Mika, and Chris “Tingles” Matthews..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The subtext here is that the general public has rejected Benjamin Crump’s Trayvon Martin narrative as presented by state-controlled media.

[greene66]

Maher is a degenerate, sub-human piece of filth. I look forward to the day when I see his name in the obituaries, hopefully having choked to death on his own vomit. America will automatically go up a few notches when its rid of this worthless cretin.

[trisham]

Ugly on the inside and outside.

[null and void]

Humor lesson for Maher:

Choking to death on your own vomit, not funny.

Choking to death on someone else’s vomit, funny.

[Vaduz]

Maher’s gig on race war isn’t going well.He’s got to come up with some new bait.
Wonder if Obama goint to call him to the WH for a new plan?.

[Vince Ferrer]

Maybe he wants the million dollars back.

[UCANSEE2]

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think the only reason Maher even has an audience is because most of those people really don’t have anywhere else to go. Most are basement dwellers who have been evicted by their parents.

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, Johnny Carson! Why did you ever leave us??

[virginia lurker]

You post deserves an award. I will be laughing to myself the rest of the day. Thanks.

[Lancey Howard]

What is astonishing is that that simple assclown Maher is still getting any audience at all.
Seriously.. Who finds that little punk amusing? Besides Ann Coulter, I mean.

[philman_36]

It’s disturbing that Maher knows so much about “boy bands”.

[jocon307]

Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel!
