This is blowing up on social media. The calls for him to be fired are pouring in.

Probably why his shows have done so well and folks enjoy going on them.
Ann Coulter used to be a regular!

About 1500 tweets about it at 1:43 .....still some way to go to a 'blow up'.

Interesting within minutes of him saying it conservatives calling out CNN for not reporting it. What -- wait a minute.....lol.

This is not breaking story stuff.

It's another gaffe...not as horrendous as Griffin but irresponsible on Maher's part.

He'll have to pay the price if HBO decides to can his show. It's up to them.

I was on the subway in Brooklyn today and heard a black woman use that word at least 30 times, and quite loudly at that, while talking on her cell phone. There were several very liberal looking hipster types within earshot of her conversation (heck, she was so loud, people in Hoboken probably heard her), including one guy wearing a big Grizzly Adams type beard, skinny jeans, and a turquoise fedora, but none stood up and approached this woman to admonish her for using the word that offends their liberal sensibilities the most. Why? If liberals find that word so anathema, why not demand that the people who both use and perpetuate its use the most stop using it?

In addtion, if that word is so offensive and hurtful to blacks, why do they use it so prolifically? If blacks really want that offensive word to disappear for good, wouldn't it make sense for them to stop using themselves?

Since that never happened, it's moot.

Huh?
