Bill Meyer, ShePAC Ad Destroys Obama's Pig Maher Hypocrisy
 
Potty Mouthed Bill Maher is on the spot.

Yes U.S.A. we have a pair of vile misogynistic pigs in the news this week.

First Rush, NOW BILL MAHER, While Bill Maher has been a misogynistic Pig for years, it seems that because he's a Democrat, it's been acceptable. But now President Obama has been asked if he would return the money, Bill Maher donated to Obamas Political PAC Fund.

Will Obama Super PAC Return Misogynist Bill Maher's Million-Dollar Donation?

MAHER: Speaking of dumb tw*ts… (shows pic of Bachmann and Palin) it’s not because they have breasts. It’s because they are boobs

OBAMA: I thought about Malia and Sasha, and I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way and I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens.

WORDS ON SCREEN: Shows TV Newser headline “Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin the ‘c-word’ during his stand up act”

MAHER: (shows pic of Bristol Palin) She f*cked Levi over and over again until a baby came out.

http://nation.foxnews.com/bill-maher...aher-hypocrisy

Just a few examples of Maher's Filthy Mouth Deisgraceful Statements aboult Women. Maher, The Misogynistic Potty Mouthed Pig .

Yes FOXNEWS, but they are all true.

all "fair and balanced", too, I'm sure, ready to spoon feed the gape mouthed, fallow minded drones that dutifully tune in for their daily dose of bullshit. If you wish to be taken the least bit seriously, you might consider referencing a source with more credibility than the national enquirer dressed in Fox's clothing.

d-ray657 03-10-2012 09:24 AM

I will predict this much. No majority democratic legislature will choose to honor Bill Maher with a bronze bust displayed in the state capitol.

When did Bill Maher become a representative of Obama? He at least admits he is a comedian...

And it's not that I am defending Maher.

finnbow 03-10-2012 10:29 AM

Not defending him, but Maher did not go on a 9-hour rant against a private citizen like Limbaugh did. He criticized pubic figures (as the Right does to Obama every waking minute, BTW). Whether you grasp it or not, it is quite different to criticize a public figure and a private citizen.

You know George Carlin would be having a lot of fun with this shit if he was still around. :)

BlueStreak 03-10-2012 11:43 AM

Why would Obama return Mahers money, Bill? I wouldn't.
Do you think the others are turning any money away?

Yeah, he's a pig. I like the guy for other reasons, but even I think he's a pig.

Finnbow, perhaps you meant to say 'public figures'.... (or maybe not!)

To add to this Rush is broadcasting on publicly owned airwaves during the day when children could be listening. Yes some parents make their children listen to Rush spew bile.

Rush is and has been a pundit for the Republican party for years. It can be argued that he is the most powerful person in the Republican party. He is no longer the comedian he claims to be. He is now a commentator doing opinion broadcasts.

Bill Maher is a comedian that does a show that leans towards politics. His show on HBO is broadcast over cable and other private mediums. You have to pay to watch his show. Parents can filter him out if they don't want their children to see his show. Most people I have heard speak about Maher say in his real life he is an egotistical asshole. I don't watch his show.

The pac money he donated should stay right were it is.

If Rush donated a million dollars to Romney I would say the same thing. Romney doesn't need the money, he already is essentially Rush's boss since Bain owns Clear channel, who owns Premiere Radio Networks, who syndicates Rush's show along with Beck, Hannity, and others. They broadcast on 850 stations across the country. That sounds like a liberul media conspiracy to me. What say you.

Potty mouthed, are you kidding me. Foul mouthed would have made this post sound like it was written by an adult.

Oops, you're right, Barbara. No offense intended. Perhaps a Freudian slip, considering the topic.

Maher is a sarcastic, profane, irreverent, smartass entertainer that, arguably, crosses lines that he shouldn't in an effort to elicit laughs. I can identify with this.

Limbaugh is a power drunk, self aggrandizing, malevolent oaf whose single greatest gift in life is his ability to find, then manipulate the weak minded. He uses his perch on the bully pulpit to do sincere, heartfelt, and intentional harm.

I forget who it was, but I was listening to "Serious Left" on Sirius one day, when someone made the comment, "You know, I once worked with Limbaugh in Chicago before he became famous. He hates Liberals because they fired him so often back then. He was a total cheapskate who would go out for drinks with the crew and then stiff us when it came his turn to buy a round. Then he would come to work the next day and talk trash about the same people who bought all of his drinks the night before. You want to know why he's so reclusive? It's because he's an asshole and even he knows it. If he gets too much exposure people will figure this out, and he will lose his audience."

+1! Great response, man.

Charles 03-10-2012 06:44 PM

Don't know that much about Rush, other than he's popular among a lot of people on the right.

I've listened to about a hour of him, because I was doing some work for some people who were listening to him at the time. My conclusion was that his voice was like chalk on a blackboard.

I've also read a couple of things he has written, and in both instances I thought he had a point.

Personally, I'm not a fan and would rather not listen to him. But I don't think that he is the incarnate of evil and that his followers are mindless lemmings as well.

I don't understand how people can stand to listen to him, but I don't understand how people can do a lot of things which make no sense to me.

I also realize that there are millions of people who can't understand how I can piss away the most of the day on Political Chat when I could be watching reruns of Entertainment Tonight.

To me, Rush is no big deal, and certainly not worthy of my consideration. He's just another loudmouthed blowhard in a world full of loudmouthed blowhards.

Excellent post, Chas. I would be equally indifferent were it not for the fact that my mother-in-law is smitten with Limbaugh and exercises a certain influence with her daughter.

djv8ga 03-10-2012 07:21 PM

You would think after the Howard Stern phenomenon, the public would be past getting all stupid over what a comedian or broadcaster spews to make money. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I once thought he had a point too. That there are too many people living off of our society rather than contributing something useful to it and bad mouthing those who do work. Kind of hard to argue with that........................

Then one day I realized that he is one of them.

http://www.webpronews.com/bill-maher...s-back-2012-03


First what both of them said about the ladies is a terrible tasteless attempt at making a point. In a polite society should not be tolerated but in a free society will be voiced from time to time. Fools and clowns have voices too you know!



Barney

BlueStreak 03-10-2012 07:48 PM

Yeah, but this is Limbaugh we're talking about. Would he have ever done the same for Maher? Maybe, but I doubt it.

Dave

Oerets 03-10-2012 08:02 PM

One of the differences between the Right and the Left IMO!

Maher is not exactly in a position to criticize, after all.

Oerets 03-10-2012 08:26 PM

I agree but he did take the unpopular position, against the popular trends to voice this. Last night on his show he stated this was a "Protected under the First Amendment Rights " (Freedom of speech) and should be view as such.

I personally think both Rush and Maher were out of line but in this country it is expected to happen from time to time.

True. Listening to these people argue about these men makes me want to vomit. I can't believe how much time that Fox news has spent on these childish quarrels. I almost threw the remote at my TV when Palin was bitching about the PAC money. She needs a real job for awhile to get her mind right.

d-ray657 03-11-2012 10:57 AM

The First Amendment protects the right of people like Maher and Limbaugh to say whatever they say; it protects the right of people to criticize both of them; and it protects the right of advertisers to express themselves by withdrawing their money. I've always said that the best way to counter objectionable communication is with more effective communication. Rush clearly got out-communicated in this instance. It appears that Maher might have felt some of the heat from the firestorm over Limbaugh's comments.

Oh, I know. I had a special quote from a stupid liberal, on the subject of patriotism and it's relation to war, that I knew he would just love;

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."

Einstein was a pacifist...until he was witness to, and then escaped from, the rise of Nazism. In the early '30's, he renounced pacifism and urged western powers to take a stand against Nazi Germany.

Seemingly, the "stupid liberal' evolved.... :p

He made the unenviable and rational selection between two nightmarish eventualities after his "fight or flight" response mechanism selected the latter,with the USA being his optimal choice of destination.

The ever increasing weight of the first hand accounts of concentration camp survivors and witness to those and other atrocities pushed him off center, but, he remained a pacifist. He reached the tipping point upon learning of the intensity of pursuit, and tangible progress of, the Nazi pursuit of nuclear weaponry. To a degree that few, (if any) others alive, he could grasp and foresee the immense destructive potential of such weaponry. He had intimate knowledge of the barbaric mindset of Hitler and his blind following, hence he knew they would use them with impunity, and would surely succeed in conquering the entire planet, and catastrophically contaminate it in the process.

Einstein persuaded the USA to create nuclear weapons before the Axis powers obtained them and seized total world control, something they had already made some serious headway doing without nukes.

Einstein did not "evolve". He remained a pacifist. He was brilliant enough to comprehend the gravity of the situation, and noble enough to compromise his own core beliefs for the good of mankind. He never advocated the use of force or violence.

Incorrect. He disavowed pacifism publicly. He did remain steadfastly opposed to the use of nuclear weapons, however.

"In July of that year (1933), Einstein wrote to Alfred Nahon recanting his militant pacifism. He reasoned that if smaller countries like Belgium did not develop their military, they would be overrun and no longer exist. This letter, at Einstein’s request, was published in La Patrie humanie for other pacifists to read. Einstein received criticism for abandoning pacifism in many forms including publicly by Brent Dow Allison in a 1934 article entitled “Speak, Einstein, for the Peace for Europe.” In his response, Einstein justified the change by concentrating on the change in the political circumstances. He writes, “I do not believe that under present circumstance passive resistance is an effective method, even if carried out in the most heroic manner…The confirmed pacifist must therefore at present seek a plan of action different from that of former, more peaceful times”(Rowe & Schulmann, 2007, p. 286)."

as it applied to Nazi Germany, he very certainly and publicly disavowed pacifism, I agree. This is well documented. He sniffed out the realities of what was to come early on, and spoke up.
