No, it is becaue he is a complete moron and consistantly lies about everything that people hate......

Your same flawed logic could also apply to that blowhard Limbaugh....

And after all, isn't it his right and responsibility as an American to attack racism?

The difference between Bill and Drudge is that Drudge attacks people based on their race, (not a choice) while Bill attacks people based on their ignorance.
Well, I'm glad he does not have rage against the Tea Party.

George Wallace: Biography from Answers.com

The only reason that Wallace was a 'Democrat' is because Lincoln was a Republican. No Southerner could ever run for office as a Republican in Alabama, because the rednecks in the South were still mad at Lincoln.

But, as soon as Johnson pushed through his 'Great Society' reforms, the word Democrat replaced Republican as the party to hate.

Why ignorant d bags are given a platform on which to spew their hate is beyond me..... why can't enough people boycott Maher, Letterman, Limbaugh and all the other idiots?

You can boycott Maher if you want. It just doesn't matter anymore, because he's on HBO now.

He is given this platform because MANY people like what he has to say. If no one was watching him, HBO would have canceled the show long ago.

Maher,
Stewart,
Colbert,
Letterman,
Furguson

All great Americans.

They're going to pull you kicking and screaming all the way into the 1800's whether you like it or not!

What a vivid imagination..... do yourself a favor and turn off the hatemonger Maher..... you will automatically find yourself more informed about reality

Your arguments apply to Limbaugh as well..... amny like what he has to say.... does not mean that he is good for society though

Maher appeals to the average low self esteem American who always needs an enemy and someone to hate, hence the reason for his underground popularity by the loser crowd

There is no place in America for the teabagger racism, bigotry, selfishness, and ignorance.

And there's nothing underground about ALL of the Maher supporters. We're loud and we're proud. Get used to it.
I went to a tea party & there was a Black man speaking.

The tea party may attract enough racists. However it is not a racist group.

Plus many in the tea party you view as racist aren't really racists. They often don't like the Ghetto Black thugs on welfare.

Many of them probably respect people like Thomas Sowell or Herman Cain or even Collin Powel etc

That is mostly true. But there are still plenty of anti-rich Southern Democrats.

Only in the South do most 'lower income' voters go Republican.

Thoughout the rest of the Country, this class of voters overwhelmingly votes Democratic.

I think it's got to be some lingering resentment toward Johnson's policies.

No where else in the USA do so many voters vote against their own financial best interest.
