No, its really about a double standard. Just labeling oneself a comedian does not exonerate one from nasty remarks. And, let’s not forget - when its convenient, then the left says that Rush is just an entertainer.
I gotta agree with that!
Rush TOWERS over Maher in every possible virtue--notably intelligence.

If I were to call Michelle Obama the same thing Maher called Sarah Palin, Goober would have the Secret Service parked out front my house.
You mean... Bill Maher is crazy?
Liberals always find ways with justifying the disgusting things they say..because they have nothing else. Basically what Burton is saying here is “Sarah Palin deserved to be called those despicable names because she’s a Conservative, therefore its allowed” that is really what he wanted to say..Obama doesn’t need Maher’s money, but he and the rest of his far left cronies can’t say anything bad about Maher or else they will lose some of their base, that is what this is all about, appease Maher, get love from his base
>> But Burton justified Maher’s attacks as those being from a comedian, not a political leader.
Hypocrite.
I guess Rush is no more the entertainer the jackasses claimed he was.
Really? Fluke is a two-bit activist. Palin is a former Governor and vice presidential candidate. Fluke deserves respect and Palin doesn’t? B.S.

No, the real difference is that Maher gave the Obama superPAC $1 million and Rush didn’t.
Typical libtard MSM hypocrisy.
In my lexicon, the c-— word is a million times worse than slut, which I will readily type.
burton is a tube worm.
No Burton, you’re crazy.
Here’s why: it’s not just Maher. There are dozens if not hundreds of prominent leftists who spoke the same way about Governor Palin.
And they did it for more than three years.
All Bill Maher does is comment on politics, so you can’t give him a pass on this. As far as Limbaugh goes, you need to be entertaining to host an am radio show and be successful, so Limbaugh isn’t completely serious either.
“Basically what Burton is saying here is ‘Sarah Palin deserved to be called those despicable names because she’s a Conservative, therefore its allowed’”
This is exactly right.
Damn right it’s crazy! Maher would need a ladder to kiss El Rushbo’s backside.
Let’s see, it takes them 393 words to explain this.
Kind of defeats the efficacy.
Rush should have said “It makes her a thief, who’s sexually active.” That’s so much better.
Namecalling is probably inappropriate at any level. However, the hyperbolic outrage over the very near appropriate use of the term by Rush contrasted with the absolute silence over the pure vitriolic use of the term by the left is more than revealing. The problem is, the intelligent people on the left are pure liars and the intelligent people on the right are too meek to point it out. Everyone else, it just flies over their heads and the conversation boils down to either, RUSH IS MEAN or WELL WHAT ABOUT BILL MAHER?
