Bill Maher defends Rush

[witness23]

Chef mentioned Maher in the Rush thread so I thought I would mention his "tweet" defending Mr. Limbaugh. Birds of a feather ya know.

For the record, I think Maher is just as much of a douchebag as Limbaugh is.

First and foremost, Rush only apologized for two words he used during his 3 day attack against Sandra Fluke(a private citizen) and that was only because he was feeling the pressure from his advertisers, otherwise he would've never apologized. Obviously Rush's advertisers didn't feel that it was much of an apology either, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing the exodus that you are.

If he was truly sorry, he would've done it on air.

Maher is just as much of an *opportunist as Rush is and I am sure he's hoping to steal a bit of the spotlight for himself.

To top it all off, Maher is on HBO because he essentially got run off advertisement-TV. He recently defended his remarks about Palin by saying, "I don't have sponsors". Words have consequences and Maher has felt those consequences in the past and Limbaugh is feeling the now, justifiably I might add.

In other word's, shut up Maher.

And as far as Limbaugh goes, if you can't take the heat and want to blame everyone else for your problems that you have brought upon yourself; leave public radio and either go to satellite radio, cable, or go the Glenn Beck route and start an online show.

*Opportunist:

Unprincipled resourceful Person

Somebody who takes advantage of something, especially somebody who does so in a devious, unscrupulous, or unprincipled way.​

I guess Obama should give Maher his money back right?

Newest million-dollar donor to Obama’s Super PAC: Bill Maher « Hot Air Headlines

 

[witness23]

I'm not even going to waste my time in pointing how ridiculous that question is. I will however inform you that the money was given to the President's PAC, not him personally. And as you should know by now, if you've been paying the least bit of attention, the PAC and the President are two different entities in which the President cannot have any contact with and vice-versa.

How convenient he can't have any contact with his PAC. It's just too darn bad he can't or otherwise he certainly will be on the horn voicing his outrage over the incendiary comments Maher has displayed towards women er conservative women. Those evil PACS. They are just off on their own aren't they? Maybe Obama should have kept his principles and continued to be against PACS like when he dressed down the justices of the Supreme Court for allowing them then he wouldn't have the appearance of accepting money from such foul mouthed women bashers like Bill Maher.

Sandra certainly is not a private citizen as she was actively seeking attention by testifying in front of Congress and flat out lying about the cost of birth control. Rush didn't owe her an apology and Maher had nothing to apologize for. These guys might be expressing themselves in a way that most find inappropriate but we should allow them to speak. I don't like Maher or what he has to say so I don't watch his show, problem solved.

Fixed it for ya

It is my understanding that Obama isn't legally prohibited from telling his PAC not to take money from Maher. So my point is if Obama and the libs are going to make political hay over Rush Limabaugh's comments it is only appropriate to hold them to some kind of consistency. Is it not? They are really looking hyprocritical on this issue. Fixed it for ya: Busted

Schakowsky Refuses To Condemn Misogynistic Language From Top Obama Donor

 

[Pilgrim]

This article from Michelle Malkin puts the hypocrisy from the mainstream media in perspective:

I'm sorry Rush Limbaugh called 30-year-old Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a "." She's really just another professional femme-a-gogue helping to manufacture a false narrative about the GOP "war on women." I'm sorry the civility police now have an opening to demonize the entire right based on one radio comment -- because it's the progressive left in this country that has viciously and systematically slimed female conservatives for their beliefs.We have the well-worn battle scars to prove it. And no, we don't need coddling phone calls from the pandering president of the United States to convince us to stand up and fight.
At his first press conference of the year on Tuesday, the Nation's Concern Troll explained that he phoned Fluke to send a message to his daughters and all women that they shouldn't be "attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens." After inserting himself into the fray and dragging Sasha and Malia into the debate, Obama then told a reporter he "didn't want to get into the business of arbitrating" language and civility. Too late, pal.
The fact is, "" is one of the nicer things I've been called over 20 years of public life. In college during the late 1980s, it was "race traitor," "coconut" (brown on the outside white on the inside) and "white man's puppet." After my first book, "Invasion," came out in 2001, it was "immigrant-hater," the "Radical Right's Asian Pitbull," "Tokyo Rose" and "Aunt Tomasina." In my third book, 2005's "Unhinged," I published entire chapters of hate mail rife with degrading, unprintable sexual epithets and mockery of my Filipino heritage.
If I had a dollar for every time libs have called me a "Manila *****" and "Subic Bay bar girl," I'd be able to pay for a ticket to a Hollywood-for-Obama fundraiser.
Self-serving opponents argue that such attacks do not represent "respectable," "mainstream" liberal opinion about their conservative female counterparts. But it was feminist godmother Gloria Steinem who called Texas Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a "female impersonator." It was NOW leader Patricia Ireland who commanded her flock to only vote for "authentic" female political candidates. It was Al Gore consultant Naomi Wolf who accused the late Jeane Kirkpatrick of being "uninflected by the experiences of the female body."
It was Matt Taibbi, now of Rolling Stone magazine, who mocked my early championing of the tea party movement by jibing: "Now when I read her stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of (redacted) in her mouth. It vastly improves her prose."
It was Keith Olbermann, then at MSNBC and now at Al Gore's Current TV, who wrote on Twitter that columnist S.E. Cupp was "a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does" and who called me a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it." He stands by those remarks. Olbermann has been a special guest at the White House.
Some of us have not forgotten when liberal Wisconsin radio host John "Sly" Sylvester outrageously accused GOP Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch of performing " on all the talk-show hosts in Milwaukee" and sneered that she had "pulled a train" (a crude phrase for gang sex). (Earlier, he called former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a "black trophy" and "Aunt Jemima.")
Or when MSNBC misogynist Ed Schultz called talk show host Laura Ingraham a "talk " for criticizing Obama's petty beer summit. Or when Playboy published a list of the top 10 conservative women who deserved to be "hate-f**ked." The article, which was promoted by Anne Schroeder Mullins at Politico.com, included Ingraham, "The View's" Elisabeth Hasselbeck, former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino, GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann and others. Yours truly topped the list with the following description: a "highly f**kable Filipina" and "a regular on Fox News, where her tight body and get-off-my-lawn stare just scream, 'Do me!'"
And then there's the left's war on Sarah Palin, which would require an entire national forest of trees to publish.
A reporter asked Obama to comment on examples of liberal hate speech at Tuesday's press conference. He whiffed, of course. This is, after all, the brave leader who sat on his hands while his street thugs attacked tea party mothers and grandmothers as "Koch *****s" during the fight over union reform in Wisconsin. (As I reported last week, his re-election campaign is now targeting the Koch brothers' private foundation donors in a parallel effort to chill conservative speech and activism.) He's leading by example.
So no, we won't get any phone calls from Mr. Civility. Acknowledging the war on conservative women would obliterate The Narrative. Enjoy the silence.

Got to love these libs. So if your a comedien making comments denegrating women it isn't the same as a conservative talk show host doing it. It's just "crazy"to compare the two says Obama's former campaign buddy and now head of his Super PAC .

Obama | Super PAC | Bill Maher | The Daily Caller

 

[LDB]

It's all hypocrisy at it's best. The left does worse on a more frequent basis towards Hasselbeck, Malkin, Coulter, Bachmann etc. etc. and it's no big deal. The left called for the "civility police" and days later laughed it off when Wanda Sykes suggested Rush should have kidney failure and die. Nothing but hypocrisy.

Another related article. I put one paragraph in italics. Obama could have at least asked 'his' pac to return that million bucks. Limbaugh, (if this statement is true) asks affiliate stations to drop adds from companies as the one below. He is under no obligation to do that, just as Obama is under no obligation to ask his 'pac' to return that money. One must assume that Obama supports foul mouthed left wing ranters as long as they support his bid for a second crowning.




[h=1]Limbaugh about AshleyMadison.com: ‘We do not [accept] sponsor companies that help people cheat on their spouses[/h]

A day after controversial "dating" websiteAshleyMadison.com offered to buy all excess inventory from the marketers who've abandoned Rush Limbaugh, the firebrand talk-show host said that he would never accept their advertising on his radio show.


"We do not [accept] sponsor companies that help people cheat on their spouses," Limbaugh told listeners on Thursday. "We have not accepted [their offer]. We have never run ads from [them]. We never will."


Limbaugh lashed out at Alexandra Petri, a Washington Post columnist, who wrote that Limbaugh's show had picked up AshleyMadison.com, proving that the show "targets jerks."


"It is an out-and-out lie," Limbaugh said of the report. "Nothing could be further from the truth."


Limbaugh called it a "blatant example of what journalism has become," complete with Petri's "B-I-T-C-H-Y opinion."


He added that when advertisers like Ashley Madison buy local ad time on affiliates carrying Limbaugh's show, "we call the stations and ask them not to."


"It is unfortunate that content producers--whether it is Rush Limbaugh or the NFL--don't stick to focusing on the content they produce and let perfectly legal and legitimate businesses advertise," Noel Biderman, Ashley Madison's chief executive, told Yahoo News. "While I am not surprised that Mr. Limbaugh feels he is above letting us advertise on his show, he is mistaken if he believes that millions of his listeners don't need AshleyMadison.com."


Biderman said on Wednesday that the company—which he says spends more than $22 million on advertising per year—sent a letter to Limbaugh's head of ad sales, offering to buy airtime for three months for each advertiser that dropped their support of Limbaugh in the wake of his comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke.


"We are in the business of selling affairs," Biderman said. "And our audience is absolutely his audience." The site, whose motto is "Life is short. Have an affair," is a frequent advertiser on Howard Stern's satellite radio show.


Limbaugh claims that, following his public apology, at least two of the advertisers that pulled out of his show have asked to return, though would not disclose who they are. "One of them is practically begging to come back," he said. "Everything is fine on the business side. Everything's cool."

Oh I forgot about the Wanda Sykes comment. There are so many from the left, that it's hard to keep track of them all.
