Nah. Just public assclowns like Maher, which is my right.

Billy-boy is free to say anything he likes. He can even choke his chicken in public if he thinks it'll make people laugh and pay attention to him.

None of that makes him worthy of my respect, though.

Nor yours, I would hope.

Free speech, people. It works both ways.

The fact he can get people's panties in a bunch without really saying anything at all is just so hilarious that it commands respect.

IMO even a comedian can't get away with such a discusting jokes! But the MSM will probable laugh about it unless it is a Rep. comedian...
You (and whatever Faux News person is responsible for that title) need to buy larger undies.

Where was the insult, exactly?

And what Rep comedian are you talking about?

Your pictures indicate that Fox news underreported how bad McCain sucked, and overreported the idiocy that was floating around about Obama.

McCain was a bad GOP candidate who ran a horrible campaign - Palin, Joe the Plumber, the fake hiatus, underperforming in polls and fundraising, etc. Obama was a great campaigner who was dogged by wingnut talking points that Fox News over-reported (Ayers, Wright, ACORN, etc.)

So no, I wouldn't reconsider it at all.

Maher is your typical person who says whatever he wants to get more attention for himself. Why doesn't he do his act in a military base and see what happens. Everyone is a tough guy til you face who your smearing. How many times has he been to Germnay, Iraq, Korea? Yea thats right none

“Forget about bringing the troops home from Iraq. We need to get the troops home from World War II. Can anybody tell me why, in 2009, we still have more than 50,000 troops in Germany and 30,000 in Japan? At some point, these people are going to have to learn to rape themselves. [boos] I’ll ignore that.” Bill Mayer HBO

I hate that piece of garbage. I don't know if you recall him debating Ron Silver on CNN about the invasion of Afganistan in 2002, but Ron Silver handed him his ass. I've been a big fan ever since (of Ron Silver, R.I.P.).

Bill Maher leads a pointless existence and champions nothing. He has no ideas, just criticism, and not particularly incisive criticism at that. He amounts to a hack who gets by on being a shameless demagogue in the right place at the right time.
