    The people who sponsor Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi and Ed Schultz, do so freely, of their own accord, pursuing what they believe to be their best interests.
    No argument - the companies in either case are doing what they feel best.

    However, Obama calling the little twat to console her was a little absurd.

    Ditto head? As if. I'll be amongst the first to say that Rush really should have been a lot less crude. Then again, he has a national radio show and I do not - so I can say what i wish.

    As far as vile language - I'll call her whatever I wish. She's a lying deceitful twat who intentionally enrolled at Georgetown for the express purpose of creating a problem. Nothing more than that.

    Frankly, if the little twit cant handle a bit of negative press, she has no business standing on the public stage.

    So you´re of the opinion, that every time anyone says something in public, which you or anyone else don´t agree with, they are to expect being called "slut", "twat", "cunt" and what not? How the founders of democracy would be proud, if they were to see us today...

    I would say its appropriate when your not an radio or tv entertainer with a large audience. However I'd also say those of the opposing viewpoint should expect the same treatment.

    No, didn't say that at all did i? However, I do believe that if someone is going to be intentionally misleading to people, he or she should expect some rather degrading language tossed their way.

    Considering some of what they said, and did, my language is nothing.

    Really Maddox, if you're going to attempt to shame me for my bluntly spoken opinions, you're going to have to do better than that.

    This gave me a chuckle. According to Chris Wallace FOX News insurance covers contraception ... but has a copay.

    FYI, Bill Maher got fired once already for making outrageous comments, so let's not pretend Rush is a martyr facing unfair persecution no one else has ever faced.
    Well, for the sake of comparison, we could talk about the well known leftie who made a porno spoof about Palin if you'd like.

    No no, you should not bring up such blatant hypocrisy when it is done by the left. Especially when it is the past. After all, we have to just move on...

    They should all be held accountable ... being in the limelight gives them (cons and libs) an overvalued sense of self worth and arrogance, to the point they make inappropriate attacks ... just because they "feel" they can. A little humility from public figures is not a bad thing.

    Not so sure that is completely accurate. Bill Maher or even David Letterman has had their own background of upsetting people from saying something stupid and eventually causing a stink one way or another. But, the same is true of people like Rush Limbaugh like Don Imus. Bill Maher got in plenty of hot water over several instances back in the 'Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher' days. I would not say he got a pass anymore than Rush will. Regardless, of them all it is not about some sincere apology saying "I want to far" or "it was a bad joke." They are all a backtrack efforts over getting in hot water with either their employers, their sponsors, their viewers, or all the above. At the same time no matter who goes too far on whatever instance, they all seem to make a soft landing somewhere after the dust settles. Bill Maher, Ed Schultz, David Letterman, Rush Limbaugh, Don Imus, Glenn Beck... they all eventually come back all of them pandering to some group somewhere with plenty of ad revenue to support. I do not think there is some double standard here, just no standard as they all eventually find new homes in their own new ways to make money off of vilification and smear (to some degree) of political opposition. Not so much Letterman but I used him as an example as he had his own issues with sponsors after the whole Palin daughter joke snafu. The only "duty" here is the opposition of each to continue to wait for the next moment one has gone too far, that is what is really sad here. Only the opposition gets upset, not everyone when one of these idiots takes the next joke way too far.

    These posts say a lot more about you and your character than it does about the young lady. Head to head with her you'll lose every time.

    LOL Nah - not a chance.

    I know her type - the second someone stands up to her, she'll back down. Bullies always do. Besides, she's already established she's fucking at least 10 times a day, so i suspect all I'd have to do is unzip my pants and she'd shut up.


    yes - 10 times a day. Thats how much sex she would have to have to be spending over 3K a year on birth control - assuming condoms at ~$1.00 a piece that is....
