It's hard to get more hypocritical for center-left commentators than what HBO's Bill Maher said about Republican Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential bid, making the liberal our pick for the Mainstream Media Scream of the week.
It came on his show, Real Time with Bill Maher, on Friday night:
"Another week another candidate. This week: Everybody ready for Marco Rubio of Florida? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, they're all saying he's fresh, he's new. I'll say. He looks like he could be Hillary Clinton's pool boy, this guy."
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick: "Imagine the reaction if a conservative made such a stereotypical, derogatory and racially-tinged joke about a liberal Democrat who is Hispanic. Saying it was just a joke would not allay the outrage. It sure is nice to be a liberal so you're able to get away with such things."
Same way that Obola could have been serving Bill drinks?
It sure is nice to be a liberal so you're able to get away with such things
Which only goes to show that they actually think and say all the things that they constantly accuse the right of thinking (they even interpret our “dog whistles” for the benefit of the low-info). yet they can say such things and blow it off with “it was just a joke”, while “nuancing” every breath a conservative takes, to be perpetually offended.
Oh, what a great witt !!
Too bad Maher couldn't come up with something equally witty back in 2008.
I thought “boy” was an insult to minorities from years of servitude to whites. Bill Maher should know. He’s white.
And here’s the best part: it works every time.
Liberal racist jerk!
The mental image of Hillary in a bathing suit is not what I needed this morning.
“Bill Maher says Rubio ‘could be Hillary’s pool boy’”
Hispanics take note of the typical racist rant of a lib/democrat!
Yes, because we play their game instead of standing on the facts and truth and not backing down.
Just shows what I have been saying for years, free speech applies only to liberals.
He’s never been witty.
BM is the not-so-funny water boy for Hillary Clinton. Intellectually Cruz runs circles around him.
Sounds like somebody has been missing his 15 minutes of attention again.
Every 3 months, like clockwork, Maher says something monumentally stupid to get his name back in the media.
winner.
Seriously, she doesn’t want a poolboy; she wants a poolgirl.
Guess I should have indicated it was sarcasm.
Only a liberal like Bill Maher could get away with such a racist comment.
