Maher is only doing this because the heat has been on him to apologize to Sarah Palin for the disgusting things he has said about her..he will NEVER apologize to her, so instead he is half ass standing up for Rush..he’d rather defend Rush then ever apologize to a Conservative woman
True, but if Maher has any sense at all he should know that once Rush is silenced and precedent is set , who's to say we won't get a government hostile to Mahar and he won't be silenced. What most of these leftists don't get that the 1st amendment protects unpopular speech, since popular speech needs no protection. This is why conservatives don't go in for the leftist tactic of silencing the opposition.
