Barbara Walters Defends Maher Calling Trig Palin Retarded: ‘I Don´t Think He Intended it
Newsbusters ^ | John Nolte

Posted on 06/17/2013 4:42:17 PM PDT by Nachum

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Why the hell is he making jokes about a five-year-old boy at all?

Five year old boys live in his head, also.

I hope when Palin decks that a-hole Maher, Barbara is standing near so she can deck her *ss next. No one should be making jokes about someone’s child during a vulgar ‘comedy’ show and Babs, the slut, knows it.

I guarantee you it would matter if it had been Chelsea Clinton being the butt of someone’s filthy joke.

That's actually more to the point. PC language nazis go pound sand.

That old slut is probably having sex with Maher. They deserve each other.

Everything Bill Maher says is intentional. A two minute watching of his show would make that quite clear.

Wow, Barbara Walters made comments before that all children of political opponents should be left alone. She was very angry to see Sarah Palin on Fox, being Sarah Palin. Palin isn’t a political correct person; she is just honest with her thoughts rather than being a backstabbing female like the liberal dinosaur is. Palin lives her convictions like many of us do.

I can’t wait for this woman to die so I can stand in line to urinate on her grave !

She has class herself /s Baba Wawa wrote a tell all book about her thrilling, interracial relationship with former black Republican Senator, Ed Brooke, of Massachusetts. As the...hot story was being released, former Sen. Ed Brooke was undergoing surgery for breast cancer (men get it too). This lady is real classy and it shows in her defense of Bill Maher -- NOT.

Why should we treat left wing scum like humans if they don't even treat OUR CHILDREN like humans?

These vermin deserve a type of treatment that I can't even type here.

She wasn’t the only one defending the nitwit. I’d love to ask Whoopi and Sherri if they feel the same way about people still using the N word.—or even negroe of black.

From what I’ve seen of Mr. Maher, he lacks the inhibitions that most of us have by age 7 or 8. He says whatever comes into his head, as though he is perpetually drunk.

Liberals always find ways to rationalize saying horrible things about Conservatives..so Babs has decided that Maher had NO IDEA what a “Retard” is..OK fine, two can play at this game..tomorrow Rush Limbaugh should go on his radio show and say that he takes back his apology to Sandra Fluke, he was just kidding, he has NO idea what a “Slut” is.” let’s see how liberals like them apples

Because he is retarded, I mean slow.

It’s 2013 and he doesn’t know its derogatory to call someone “retarded”. The left often gives retarded people the benefit of the doubt. I mean he didn’t know he was being offensive, his upbringing must be at fault.

Talk about a room full of slow people. Takes them an hour to complete a 20 minute show.
