Days before the 2008 election, HBO host Bill Maher expressed his hatred for Sarah Palin: "If there is such a thing as karma, let's hope that Sarah Palin comes back as a wolf being shot from a plane." Maher returned to the wolf-shooting metaphors on Friday night's Real Time as he discussed her farewell address in Alaska – except this time Maher suggested Palin would execute Cherokee Indians. Right-leaning humorist Joe Queenan set off the "joking."
QUEENAN: Are you blaming Sarah Palin for the extermination of the Cherokee tribe?
MAHER: I certainly am.
QUEENAN: Exactly.
MAHER: Not that she did it, but if she was around then, she would have – from a helicopter, like she did the wolves.
Notice how the logic collapses: Palin in a helicopter in the 1800s? That was not the only moment when the Palin mockery seemed a little mangled on the Maher show. This is how the bashing began:

I think it’s time to dig up some dirt on this little p.o.s. What a looney toon.
Frankly, this jackass is best left ignored!
I can’t believe Ann Coulter ever dated him.
What is supposed to be sticking out from his chest? Looks like a snake? Weird.
Helicopters in the 1800's?
Lay off the drugs Maher... or better just whack yourself.
She didn’t. Their just friends. Disgusting enough.
I am surprised that Maher and NRO seem unaware that the term “apologetics” applies beyond the theological sphere of Christianity. Apologia is rhetoric of self defense. Apologetics is a technical extension of the category understood since Aristotle.
Its Palin who has a clue and her various critics as usual do not.
I read they did.
After some of the things Bill Maher has said and done, he’d better be concerned about his own karma.
Look how childish the left has made so many people.
No one should give a good damn about shooting a wolf in Alaska. Period.
That it is predation control to protect livestock is icing on the cake. Turning shooting a wolf into an immoral act is just kooky.
Lots of Cherokees still around, we don’t need that idiot Maher to save us!
Maher is his own worst enemy. Some of his rants make him look like an absolute imbecile. I’m content to watch him destroy himself, and he will take his audience with him, when folks realize what a fool you have to be to laugh at some of this stuff.
It was Andrew Jackson — the father of the Democratic Party — who ethnically cleansed, not exterminated, the Cherokee from Tennessee and Alabama.
Bill Maher is a stain on a piece of used toilet paper.
Maher’s idea of a joke was to mock the Crocodile Hunter’s tragic death while the family was in mourning.
Yeah he’s a real nice guy compared to those who allow predatory wolf control. Not.
not to mention he just equated indians with wolves(dogs). how F’ed up is that??
Stop giving this waste of skin any bandwidth.
Drunk, drugged up, wigged out and a poofter. Bad B-movie actor, asshole unfunny comic, and a seriously depleted intellect...I can’t for the live of me figure out why HBO has given him a show. I have seriously thought about reworking my premium satellite lineup and will when my commitment period is over.
An acquanintance of mine who so upset about reading about shooting wolves in Alaska that she sent an e-mail around to the rest of us in our writing group. She was saddened and appalled.....meanwhile a few years ago she revealed to us that she had had an abortion...apparently she cares more about the wolves in Alaska than her own flesh and blood.
