I wonder if it might be better to hold fire on this one.

I respectfully disagree. The news about Maher's million dollar donation to Obama's SuperPac is recent and fresh. The timing is perfect to demand that Obama disavow the comments, and cause that money to be returned.

I know Obama will say he has no control over what the PAC does, but he ought to be forced to publicly call for the return of the money and disavow the SuperPac.

Well, good points, but I’ll have to respectfully disagree as well.

OTOH, if you do think now is the time, I would add this little morsel: Bill Maher was sued for allegedly physically abusing his former black girlfriend. (I don’t know if this case was settled, or what eventually happened with it). I mean if calling a woman a word is bad... an Obama donor physically attacking a woman is beyond the pale:
