"Real Time" host Bill Maher defended himself Friday night after critics spent part of the week equating his past jokes -- likening President Donald Trump to an orangutan -- to Roseanne Barr's Twitter post about a former adviser to President Barack Obama.

If it were not for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all.
Love it! Perfect for a bumper strip!
Exactly. Because feminists such as ValJar don't really want equal treatment, they want special treatment.
"THAT was DIFFERENT!"
It’s worth your time reverse-engineer these kinds of absurd exercises in sophistry, gaslighting, and logical sleight-of-hand to obtain a template that you can use in the future to determine when a leftist is lying about something you aren’t already clear about.
Agreed.
The real title of Darwin's 'Origin of Species' was really "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection — or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". And Darwin expanded on this theme in his followup book, 'The Descent of Man'.
The Bible is clear that man is made in the image of God.
The 'racist' accusation about comparing someone to an ape only applies to someone who does not have a Biblical centric viewpoint. It is still an insult - similar to calling someone 'horse-faced', or 'turtle' - and we shouldn't be liberal with our insults - but it is not racist.
Yeah because hes a clever nuanced libtard.
Of course the left always makes excuses for thier own BS. We can do it but you can’t. Screw them!
Yes, but I’ve only heard one guy seriously suggest that black people are the “missing link” between man and ape. So must we all wring our hands in mock fear and outrage over what one guy whose name I can’t even remember once said? Our entire culture is now one of fear, thanks to liberals.
Real Slime, that Maher.
And then they can never explain how it was “different.”
Keep Digging, Bill.
But he called Sarah Palin a c**t.
Yes, because n____r is an attitude, not a color.
Well, you know, Valerie felt this was a learning moment because you know she has a serious support system around her to cushion the blow that Roseanne thought she was white and descended from white men in monkey masks. But other people who identify as black while appearing lizard like and middle eastern might not have a flock of fellow travelers to calm them down when they too are thought to be white oligarchs. It is far worse to be thought of as white than to be compared to a movie depiction of man-primates.
He is absolutely correct. The apes on Planet of the Apes were sophisticated, morally courageous humans. Their hairless, pink pets were ignorant beasts. “Planet” apes are not in any way comparable to orangutangs. Jarret’s appearance is not dissimilar from the female ape lead actress in “Planet.” J’s morality, however, does resemble that of the pink, hairless critters in “Planet.”
