HBO late-night host Bill Maher apologized for using a racial slur during an interview on his show, “Real Time,” which led to a firestorm of criticism, including from the cable network.

In a statement sent to media outlets, HBO called Maher’s comments “inexcusable and tasteless” and said the cable network will remove that segment from future airings of the show.

Others, including Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson and Jack Posobiec, a Trump supporter who writes for the right-wing site Rebel Media, have called for Maher to be fired. #FireBillMaher is circulating on Twitter.

One of the first things Stalin did after he took over was execute all the Old Bolsheviks, for crimes mostly imagined. Old Bolshevik Bill Maher is about to receive that same treatment.

I’ve got no problem with a white guy saying nigger.

Blacks say it every 5 seconds and expect to be forbidden for everyone else to use the word?

No.

Equality.

I’ll stop using it when they stop using it.

The color of your skin determines what words you can use. Racism by definition.

Sen. Ben Sasse, RINO from Nebraska, has lately been a favorite guest on the commie cable networks, being interviewed regularly for his consistent liberal, anti-Trump views plus his pretty-boy face.

The Stalinists in Spain tried something similar. They just (literally) pulled the trigger too soon. Came a day when they wished they still had their old Comrades in the trenches next to them instead of in makeshift graves after standing them against the wall.

I think Maher is 99% a disgusting little twerp, but I couldn’t careless about him saying nigger.

He reminds me of McCain. McCain reveled in being the media's favorite Republican during the Bush administration and was then shocked when he ran for President against Obama and the media turned on him. That's what happens to useful idiots.
