Bill Maher: 'The problem with racism is Matt Drudge' | The Daily Caller

Seems Bill is pointing fingers at Matt Drudge for being racist. If you refer to a black person on your web page, you are now a racist - you don't even have to say anything derogatory about them.

Drudge had the following stories on his web site during a one month time frame with accompanying pictures:


•The Mike Tyson image accompanied an April 12 story in which the former boxer expressed disgust at the fact that George Zimmerman, the Florida man charged in the murder of Trayvon Martin, had not yet been shot.
•The Louis Farrakhan picture was attached to an April 17 story in which the black nationalist heaped praise on conservative commentator Pat Buchanan — calling him a “great Republican.”
• On April 5, a picture of Marion Barry was featured atop a story of the D.C. Council member and former D.C. mayor expressing anger at the District’s Asian-American community for opening businesses in the city, instead of African Americans. “We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,” Barry said. “They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”
• The picture of MSNBC host Al Sharpton and Attorney General Eric Holder appeared on April 11, with a story about Holder praising the left-wing activist for his efforts — protesting and rallying — on behalf of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
• Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s picture was featured with an April 10 story about the president’s former pastor claiming that “white supremacy” is driving “world policy” and that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas worships “some other god.
•April 27’s Michael Jordan picture appeared with a story about how the Charlotte Bobcats’ basketball team owner presided over the “NBA’s worst team ever.”

Seems to me that Bill Maher is really the racist here.

Anything that Maher says or does is perfectly acceptable because he's a liberal.

Now, let's move on and bash Limbaugh or Beck for their racism.

My opinion and that is all it is: Bill used to be an entertainer but has turned into a first rate jerk in the past 5 years or so. He is bigotted through and through and certainly not funny or entertaining.

I think if you read the article and the original post it is pretty clear. Try to keep up with the rest of the class. In your opinion, do you think that what Drudge wrote was racist?

No, he made a pretty strong point. Even if we don't recall Drudge's exploitation of Bill Clinton's supposed bi-racial love child back in the 1990s.

He hates black people as much as he hates white people just like he hates women as much as men and poor people as much as rich people. He's an equal opportunity misanthrope. I wonder if he thinks himself of as a human being or is somehow above the rest of us.
