Maher: My Free Speech More Equal Than Limbaugh's
Breitbart ^ | 3/15/12 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/15/2012 7:04:46 PM PDT by Nachum

Say what you want about Bill Maher; he is not a stupid man. But in an interview today with ABC's Jake Tapper, he sure sounds like one: Bill Maher: The bit I did about Palin using the word c—, one of the biggest laughs in my act, I did it all over the country, not one person ever registered disapproval, and believe me, audiences are not afraid to let you know. Because it was a routine where that word came in at just the right moment. Context is very important, (snip) stand-up comedy is the final frontier of free speech.

Actually he is too stupid to know when to quit. At some point, Obama will want him to shut up and the democrats will land on him with both feet.

"stand-up comedy is the final frontier of free speech."

Actually, political speech like Limbaugh's is the real final frontier of free speech. Stand up comedy has a long history of being censored, ask Lenny Bruce.

Bottom Line: Bill Maher is a smart man letting his desperation and partisanship make him sound dumb.

If someone never utters a single smart word, how do you know he's smart? Isn't it more of an assumption?

. . . . I did it all over the country, not one person ever registered disapproval . . . . .

I must disagree that Maher is not stupid. Hey Maher, the reason NO ONE registered disapproval of your hatefilled vile statements is that your audience is nothing more than liberal loons who agree with everything you say. Maher is a complete moron.

Aren't you referring to Obama’s supposed intelligence when using the teleprompter? I have asked and never received an answer about Obama’s brilliance, just 'he sounds sooooo intelligent’. No grades, no anything to prove he's just sooooo smart.

Maher you dumb POS. What do you think my not coming to see your show was? It was me, voting with my wallet, registering my disapproval for everything you are, everything you do, everything you represent. You're just too foolish, self-centered, or blinded by your own imagined importance to realize that.

I must have missed the “reason” behind calling Palin a c*nt and a “dumb twat”. Did she say something that was worthy of such commentary? Is her mere existence worthy of such hateful language?

For people like Maher, being a conservative woman is all the reason they need to utter vile and hate-filled comments in order to demean and belittle them.

And “Animal” in Bill’s case, is most descriptive. It’s actually quite unfair to animals everywhere to classify him as such, but there you are.

How can anyone say Maher is not stupid. He is obviously and self evidently stupid. You might argue that he is talented, though I would take issue with that, but he is most certainly stupid.

If his father had not been a CBS network news editor, we would have never heard of this simpleton. Does the author of this piece not understand that guys like Maher have writers. They don’t think of what they say by themselves. And Maher is apparently to stupid to know that he makes himself look stupid by repeating the idiotic lines written for him.

As Ronald Reagan said about lefties this, “Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.” Having most of the thing you “know” not being so is certainly stupidity.

I always enjoyed watching the TV series "The Twilight Zone". Just never thought I would actually end up living in an episode.

I agree, how can anybody be called smart if they have to resort to crude and offensive speech like bill maher have to to get a laugh, but then you might have to consider his audience. enough said

He mocks God - not a sign of intelligence.
