Sen. Al Franken Cancels Appearance on Bill Maher Show After N-Word Remarks to Senator Ben Sasse

Why is it no one reports the n-word? Was it "nigger"?

[Vendome]

Stupid.

Maher can be offensive and Griffin’s Schtick is to be exactly culturally and socially abrasive.

Get over it.

[cgbg]

Hey Al—glad to see you got your buddy’s back....

Oops.

[BipolarBob]

Bill Maher and Kathy Griffin soon to announce they are taking their show on the road. Bill will dress up in blackface and do his routine with Kathy holding severed bloody heads of different people.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yeah. That word. Every rap song uses that word dozens of times. Anyway, the guy meant it as a joke. It was actually kind of funny. Whatever his faults, does anyone really think Maher is a klansman? Hypocrites.

[dfwgator]

And at least Maher does go after the Islamo-Fascists.

I hate to say it, but we would lose a big voice against Islam if Maher loses his job.

[Skywise]

So the white guy virtue signals about how much he cares about racism and refuses to go on to demonstrate his progressive creds.

But the black guy does the show...

What’s that say?

[a fool in paradise]

He stands with Kathy ‘The Blade’ Griffin but not edgy comic Bill Marher?

So there are limits?

Or does it just depend on the target of a joke?

[a fool in paradise]

I thought Maher was implying Sasse was a plantation owning slave master and Bill Maher was too good for outdoor labor.

[a fool in paradise]

Was there an a on the end?

That’s the contemporary excuse.

Lenny Bruce “ ... it’s the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness.
Dig: if President Kennedy would just go on television, and say, “I would like to introduce you to all the niggers in my cabinet,” and if he’d just say “nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger” to every nigger he saw, “boogie boogie boogie boogie boogie,” “nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger” ’til nigger didn’t mean anything anymore, ...
then you could never make some six-year-old black kid cry because somebody called him a nigger at school.”

Idiot liberals like Franken demand that the word “nigger” remain the hateful word that must never be uttered, but they don’t hesitate calling us racists, those of us who may agree with Bruce that it should not remain an empowered, hurtful slur ... protected by guys like Franken, reprehensible hypocrites who use the word when they think no one is listening.

Seems the esteemed Senator Frankens’ friends are a bunch of violent, hateful racists...
