Citation: ?????????????????????????????????? Was this the one where eventually the cops and the guy they abused sat down and had beers together? If so, I'd say Obama had acted more as a peacemaker than anything else. 1. "But I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 ... that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately." 2. No, its not. Obama uses the bully pulpit to go after private individuals that do NOT have access to the same megaphone as he does. Obama is a hack, no different than Rush Limbaugh. MORE TOTALLY FALSE EQUIVALENCIES. WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON? Planet Stupid????? I mean, listen to the guy, look at his body of work and what he stands for. 3. People are called a slut or whore in public all the time. More of the same total bullshit. They are also called fat, drug addicted, ugly, stupid, ignorant, racist, homophobic, etc etc etc. Calling that little whore a slut hardly seems like a big deal in our society. Is it different than calling someone a fat drug addict? I'd love to hear your defense. Yanked I had you off ignore for about 30 hours. Back on after this. Bill Maher - Bristol Palin a slut Bill Maher - Sarah Palin a cunt Ed Shultz - Laura Ingraham a slut David Letterman - Sarah Palin is slutty Rush Limbaugh - We are paying this woman to have sex, what does that make her, a slut? Uh, you guys get zero points for even trying to make an issue of this. The police and their union did not agree with Obama and his claim that cops acted "stupidly". Your ascertion that Obama was peacemaker is idiotic, considering it was his mouth that caused the problem. You, and people like you are responsible for the dialogue, linking to Stewart, Maher, Colbert, etc. You don't see links to Rush on this website....or beck, or hannity...unless its from a goober like yourself. I bet its 50:1 or 100:1 with Maher/Stewart/Colbert/olberman posts vs Rush/Beck/Hannity. I would keep me on ignore if I were you, I have no problem telling you that the crap you post is part of the problem you are all of a sudden outraged about. The free markets have dealt you a hand that you readily deserve, I'm afraid. Myles, quit deleting posts you little prick I can only copy so many of these into word documents and keep track so I can paste them back in. As I suspected, progressives have a Koch Fetish.

Posts: 13547 March 6, 2012 2:19 PM The disputatious one	Conservatives on this board are pretending that all Rush did was call her a slut/prostitute and say he wanted to watch. That was just a small part of his rant.

Posts: 3751 March 6, 2012 3:06 PM Heineken!?! Fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!	Sarah Palin = Public figure Bristol Palin = Public figure Laura Ingraham = Public figure Sandra Fluke = Law Student Personally I think we would all be better off if commentators refrained from misogynistic statements that call women sluts or cunt or whores. But women who are politicians, reality TV stars and talking heads should probably expect and be prepared for a certain level of vitriol. College students testifying before congress probably aren't as prepared for such things. What Rush did was different, and his reaction after being called out was to double down. Only after he started losing sponsors did he offer his limp dicked apology. The GOP establishment won't even call him out on it. In the cases of all the others cited, the commentators were called to the carpet for their actions by their colleagues. It's an absolute paradox. The bacon must have been finished, thus disallowing the possibility of 'leftover'. And yet, were that impossibility to occur, surely it would be good. -LeviBooth

Not a very good one in my opinion, but he is a comedian. He uses those words for effect, sure, but really he uses them for laughs. You'll also notice that Maher didn't get in trouble for saying that Obama was not a 'real black President.' It's not about the target, it's about the speaker.

She has actively sought out public scrutiny. Until we see Fluke on Dancing with the Stars or with her own TV show I don't think she equals B. Palin at all. Maher is a comedian... different than Limbaugh see breattree's post. Schultz apologized and was suspended. Have no ideal what Olberman or Stewart said or did or what the reaction was. Now you are just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. At some point though the GOP establishment is going to have to disown this guy. He's a liability to the party.

MSNBC should lose all its sponsors for having Schultz back on air, he called a woman a slut - anyone that associates with them is trash. Send me the link to you supporting his boycott. Rush is not a liability. He has first amendment rights and I'm pretty sure calling a woman a slut beats the hell out of having a drunk Ted Kennedy drown you in a river....and never have to answer for it. You guys are irrational, hysterical and void of any form of reality. As I suspected, progressives have a Koch Fetish.

Posts: 10832 March 6, 2012 5:31 PM	Shit, I love Rush, and regret Ayn Coulter drowning in her own excess. Attacking gay people = win for Republicans. Attacking Hispanics = short-term win for Republicans. Attacking teachers = short-term win for Republicans. Attacking 'welfare queens' and various other invented bogeymen = win for Republicans. Attacking those who use contraception? Good luck with that. I use my suburban, slightly Republican sister in law as my bellwether. She wants lower taxes, family values, all that - but there's a degree of vitriol that loses her. When she grudgingly goes Dem, the Dem wins. This issue has pushed her over. God Speed, Rush! More insanity, more vitriol, more hypocrisy - and please, God, keep aiming it at vanilla White girls - Willie Horton she ain't.

Posts: 17375 March 6, 2012 9:49 PM	Wow, your next job won't include using the google function. Maher called Palin a cunt. His defense is "I don't have sponsors". Fair enough. In related news....Sarah Palin is now on a campaign to tie in the relationship between Bill Maher and Barack Obama. We'll see how she does getting Obama to return the $1 Million dollar contribution that Maher made to the Obama superpac. Would Obama want to be associated with a guy that called a former female VP candidate a cunt? Hmmmmm......pretty well played. Take it slow though, you gotta let women see Obama for who he is. You may not have sponsors at HBO, Bill, but you can't say what you do and be associated with the POTUS, even if he's a dirtbag. Now we have to backtrack to go after Letterman, Colbert, Stewart, Schultz and MSNBC. Time to turn the tables a bit. As I suspected, progressives have a Koch Fetish.

Posts: 2354 March 7, 2012 9:39 AM	Remove this ad It's kind of sad--but not surprising--that we need to point out to ol' yankeroo that Republican comedy writes itself. Rush lied about Fluke's testimony, or extremely misrepresented it at best. Maher (like Jon Stewart and even Keith Olbermann) is making fun of exactly what Republicans say and do. This comparison holds to Fox News vs. MSNBC or Fox News vs. CurrentTV too. Fox News lies and distorts what the left/liberals/Dems. It's well documented.
