Maher's 'Joke': Palin Reincarnated as Wolf Shot From Plane
Newsbusters ^ | 10/20/08 | Mark Finkelstein

Imagine that a prominent media conservative jokingly hoped, in any way shape or form, that a member of the Dem presidential ticket would be shot. How long until the MSM and various others demanded he be fired, a Secret Service investigation launched, etc?

But when Bill Maher jokes about Sarah Palin being shot? Silence, except for the raucous laughter of the studio crowd. Maher offered up his violent fantasy on this past Friday's Real Time on HBO in a regular feature devoted to exploring foreign countries to which people might consider moving in the event of a McCain victory. India was the subject of the week, which led to Maher's invocation of recincarnation, and his "hope" for how Sarah Palin would come back . . . .

Segment begins 1:13 into the YouTube here.

BILL MAHER: Above all, India is a land of spiritual renewal, where many believe in recincarnation. And if there is such a thing as karma, let's hope that Sarah Palin comes back as a wolf being shot from a plane.

This is what passes for humor on the left. Again, imagine a conservative saying something similar about a member of the Dem ticket, and the outrage that would instantly ensue.

I'm sure the media will play this up as much as the imaginary guy they claimed said SHOOT HIM in regards to Obama.

Its always open season on conservatives and traditionalists. Along with liberal a-holes like Michael Moore and Jon Stewart, Bill Maher is the one of the lowest forms of scum on earth.

He has a show? The only place I would go out of my way to see Bill Maher is decomposing in a ditch.

There are things worse than being reincarnated as a wolf shot from a plane (being reincarnated as Bill Maher, for example).

It’s ok to say things like that about conservatives, because everyone knows they deserve it.

Shouldn’t he be reported to the FBI the way that woman in Texas was after an Obama supporter misquoted her?? It seems only fair. Maher shouldn’t get a free pass.

Seriously, this is unbelievable. He is using his platform to possibly incite viewers to use violence. And it’s a veiled threat as far as I’m concerned. How do we go about reporting him?

He was reincarnated from one of Hitler’s bowel movements.

Jus’ sayin’, it would be wrong to talk about shooting a Democrat presidential candidate. That would be hate. But it’s ok to fantasize about the death of a Republican. Don’t you agree?

Here's Maher at a costume party from a few years back. Don't get the joke? He's dressed up as Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, just a few weeks after Irwin was lethally impaled by a stingray.

What a class act. /sarc.

Apparently, Maher approves of wolves decimating the spring moose calves and caribou fawns. Often wolves eat the moose calves while they are still living. (Sort of contrary to the lefty-loon concept of the noble wolf).

From whose POV, the media? LOL

Just wanted to see if what you posted was sarcasm, or just tortured logic.

If I were as sick as this POS, I would hope that someone would shoot me.
