I’ve said it a few times before. The guy got a scant few questions right — the question of whether or not there’s a God, and whether or not global warming is real. Otherwise, he’s a misogynist scumbag lackwit who thinks the germ theory of disease is a sham and vaccines are some kind of elitist liberal plot or something.
And now he goes and says this on Twitter.
Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout
Like Rush’s “sorry” means anything considering he called a woman a slut on national radio, and even after apologizing keeps saying the same damned bullshit about her only using nicer words. It’s not about the words. It’s about the misogyny.
Same goes for all the winged and howler monkeys that crawl out of the woodwork whenever someone uses a slur and is told they shouldn’t do that. It’s never about the word, it’s about the sentiment behind that word. That word has power because of all the venom that’s flowed through it. The butthurt you receive for being called a bully when you use a slur is nothing compared to the actual pain you’re, well, at least ATTEMPTING to inflict on someone.
So Bill Maher defending Rush Limbaugh is honestly no big surprise. They may not align politically, but they definitely align on the question of whether bitches ain’t shit. Some proof:
Since he’s very probably just afraid we’ll go after his sponsors for saying the same kind of ridiculous nonsense as Rush, perhaps it’s good that we press the advantage, hmm? Frankly, we need BETTER atheist spokespeople every bit as much as we need MORE of them. We can do a hell of a lot better than Bill Maher.
Andrew Ryan, #100:
I have no idea whether Jack Bosch is a conservative, but his comment certainly follows the conservative definition of free speech:
People I like should be able to say whatever they want in whatever way they want without consequences. But you should shut the fuck up.
Bill is a complete ass. He does not even look like he is from this planet.
Perhaps he is an Alien?
Perhaps he is part of the Obama team?
When I see him on TV, I switch to the Discovery Channel.
What an ass who thinks he has all the answers.
Why doesn’t he run?
He is not even a Comedian but, simply, an ass, revered by the uneducated.
“Like Rush’s “sorry” means anything considering he called a woman a slut on national radio”
So a woman cuts her husbands penis off and people laugh at it, but that’s ok. A retard calls ONE woman a slut and there’s an uproar?
You’re an imbecile, pure and simple.
As for Billy boy being a ‘misogynist’, I can’t really see how he is. Women these days think everything is misogyny even when it isn’t. Stop whining. There’s way more misandry today but it’s funny! Hypocrites.
Right. Where did I say laughing about genital mutilation was okay? Where did ANYONE say that was okay?
Actually, let’s turn that around. Where does it say that all the myriad systemic disadvantages that women face over all of Western civilization are made equal by a few women laughing about the Bobbitt case several years ago? Because you have to have gotten that dogmatically from someplace. Spearhead? A Voice for Men?
“A retard calls ONE woman a slut and there’s an uproar?”
I’d say by extension he was calling tens of millions of women sluts, if not more. Plus if Joe Shmoe on the street was just standing around calling random passers by sluts, then that probably wouldn’t make the news. The uproar here was that Rush Limbaugh did it, and the reason that’s big news is that the man has a lot of power in the Republican party. It’s similar to when a big deal was made about inflammatory statements from John McCain and Obama’s Ministers. People say “So here’s a figure who is influential over our leaders or potential leaders. Does that mean Romney and Santorum see all birth-control-using women as sluts?”.
But none of this should really need to be explained to you.
And yeah, I didn’t say anyone laughing about John Wayne Bobbit, apart from the man himself when he cashed in on his infamy with porn videos and a brief stand-up career, both based around his re-attached weiner.
wait, you’re on maher because he’s too conservative?? because he (you allege) defended rush limbaugh? you’re on maher because he’s not liberal enough??
who’s the f’ing idiot here?…..
My money’s on you.
Beat me to it, LeftSidePositive.
Nobody said he’s an idiot for being too conservative or liberal, dumbass. Read my post.
Yeah, apparently I still have this thread set on email notification!
Jason: Please, please, please, do not link to the “Periodic Table of Swearing” without warning! For one, I don’t want to support that wretched hive of scum and misogyny with even one accidental hit, and for two, it’s getting big enough to lock up my browser for a noticeable length of time before I can escape.
Bill Maher = when talent fails, viciously insult the right and make millions of dollars
wow….. a male feminist…..
lol! what a tool
George Carlin talked about the pussification of the American male and men like you personify that idea.
and where are all the female masculinists?…
oh riiiight,
there aren’t any
that would just be stupid…..
“where are all the female masculinists?…”
On Fox News. Ann Coulter et al
What a greasy POS
I hope Mr Bill gets a huge tax hike
[…] theories about the topic — which would be hard enough to swallow if he weren’t also blatantly misogynistic. But the God thing? I’m right there with him. Yep, there aren’t any gods. Total […]
Well, I understand you might have a strong viewpoint for various reasons. However, being someone who thinks of himself as intelligent (with no egotistical connection), and someone who likes Mr Maher, I have to protest this slanderous article. 1. It’s hateful, which automatically gives an unrealistic view of someone. 2. It’s not factually true.
Bill isn’t misogynist. Nor does he refute germ theory. Look at an interview of him with George Stroumboulopoulos dating back to a few months ago. Very clearly refutes many points. I liked him at first because Neil DT, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris seemed to be into him and being on his show, and then he said some genuinely interesting and intelligent things. He isn’t a hypocrite, and there’s no indication in his personality at all to say he is, in fact the opposite, because he says to abhor them, but that isn’t a cornerstone of my argument.
Anyway, I like him, and I am actively for equality and scientific literacy and the abolition of the power behind organized religion, and am also Canadian, so I’m defending him. Your post made no decent points. 4/10. But you seem like a smart dude so whatever.
