BILL MAHER: New rule. Don't make me go back to my old title. Anybody here remember the 90s? The 90s, people? It was a crazy time and I had a show called Politically Incorrect, because back then political correctness had gotten so out of hand. I mean, blacks became African-Americans, Mexicans became Latinos and Indians became casino owners. Broken homes became dysfunctional families. Bums became the homeless. Crazy people became FOX News reporters.
It was a tough time for comics. One young comedian even got into big trouble for saying the word chink. (Guest Sarah Silverman).
Now I bring this up in 2014 because, unfortunately, political correctness is making a comeback, and now with the internet, it is easier than ever. In the 90s, you had to at least get off your ass to be in a fake mood of hurt feelings. You needed signs, you needed petitions, you had to feed Al Sharpton. Back then, getting worked up over nothing was a lot of work. And now it seems like all the internet exists to do is point to the latest person who said the wrong thing so the rest of us can feel morally superior. And that's not what the internet is for; that's what college is for.
Social media is all about gotcha of a homophobic business man, or a sexist cartoonist, or a college president who fat-shames his dog by naming it Waddles.
Last week, when the first gay football player got chosen in the NFL Draft, a player named Don Jones tweeted, 'OMG. Horrible.' As is his right, under the asshole clause in the constitution. But the Dolphins fined him and threw him off the team until he underwent sensitivity training,

Show me the post where I defended Romney's less than Conservative record, by saying anything other "our next President was either going to be Romney or Obama".
Among your lies about what you are not doing, is your calls for showing you defending Romney on specific issues, which I havent said you are doing.
From your own posts.
Post 30: "For someone not defending him you sure appear to be."
Post 34: "Yeah, you are purely fighting for Romney, why you lied and tried to pretend you werent is just another sign of you romneybots."
Post 38: "Im not wrong, here you are taking on all comers as you fight for Romney."
OK, the words "Romney's issues" don't appear in any of those comments. If you're saying that you weren't accusing me of defending him on his views on homosexuality, abortion, or anything else but only defending him otherwise, then I'll accept that.
Your fight is to not allow criticism of Romney on his issues and goals to destroy conservatism by ignoring those specifics, and going into your chant.
Where have I stopped anyone from citicizing Romney. I've agreed with everyone, including you, that he is no Conservative.
What got you to start posting on this thread, was this post. To: mandaladon
People forget that Romney has been far to the left of Obama on homosexual issues, before it was cool.
Romney supported fully homosexualizing the military and gay Scout leaders, and full homosexual rights, 20 years ago and was campaigning on it, as governor he gave America gay marriage.
That started your romneybot chant that we have heard for 7 years, but he isnt Obama.
My exact reply, note the bold, was "Most haven't forgotten that, but in November 2012 it was either going to be Obama or Romney. If we had won Congress in addition to the White House, we might have been able to reel him in on that issue. Of course we got neither."
Got anything else?
What a fierce and determined defense of Romney you give.
You even do that thing where you twist “defending Romney”, to pretending that you were accused of defending his record.
Little did I expect to run into this much passion from a romneybot, for posting that accurate post on Mitt Romney in post 15.
Your very first post on this thread ignored the criticism and went to your chant, quote “Obama or Romney”.
You sure can pick them, mid 2014 and you are still trying to bring down the wrath of God on freepers criticizing your pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun, anti-Reagan, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-conservative man.
Yup, "Romney or Obama" is a real fierce defense.
You even do that thing where you twist defending Romney, to pretending that you were accused of defending his record.
Did you read this part: "If you're saying that you weren't accusing me of defending him on his views on homosexuality, abortion, or anything else but only defending him otherwise, then I'll accept that."

I didn't dispute your accurate post. My only point was "Most haven't forgotten that, but in November 2012 it was either going to be Obama or Romney. If we had won Congress in addition to the White House, we might have been able to reel him in on that issue. Of course we got neither." Somehow, you seem to equate acknowledging that fact with defending him, though not his record.
This passion is from being called a liar, and from being falsely accused of defending Romney by pointing out a fact that you haven't even attempted to refute.
Your very first post on this thread ignored the criticism and went to your chant, quote Obama or Romney.
If you know of another outcome, post it.
You sure can pick them, mid 2014 and you are still trying to bring down the wrath of God on freepers criticizing your pro-abortion, pro-gay, anti-gun, anti-Reagan, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-conservative man.
I would refer you to my numerous pro-Bachmann, pro-Cain, pro-ABR posts that I made during the 2012 primaries, but your mind is already made up.
For a guy who isn’t defending Romney, look at who has created most of the real estate on this thread, and who is all worked up into a lather.
All of it you defending Romney against criticism. From “he isn’t Obama”, to now wanting people to go through your posting history to find times when you weren’t so dedicated to Romney.
Why don’t you just take a nap or something, take a break from your romneybot labors.
Show me anything where I defended Romney, other than acknowledging the fact that our next President in 2012 was either going to be Romney or Obama. Include the post number and my comment defending him.
You jumped on the thread to defend Romney, and every post you have made has been to defend Romney.
Your dedication is over the top.
If you we able to prove your point, you would have. Go ahead and take one last shot. Unless you post something worthy of a reply, you can have the last word.
Your posts are there to read, you didn’t jump on this thread to talk about the topic, or gay issues, you jumped on the thread to defend Romney, and you have done that to the point of obsession.
You started posting at me, and to the thread, because you didn’t like the topic related post of post 15, and you then hijacked the thread with your defense of Romney, with great vigor and passion, and a lot of the old romneybot animosity that we conservatives saw so much of during his campaign.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
