What? A comedian made a joke about a public figure? Oh the scandal. I do believe I have the vapors.

jpo2269:
Slow? Projecting much?

Bristol Palin is being mocked for a poor decsion she made when she was 17, now unlike you, most 17 year olds are prone to making poor decisions. Fast forward to today, given her financial position, she is in a place to afford to care for any child that may result from her current behavior. If you cannot understand that, maybe you should just keep to yourself

First off, learn what projection means.

Second, she's in that financial position BECAUSE of that poor decision. Do you think anyone would have given 2 shiats about her had she not gotten knocked up? No. And they certainly wouldn't have fallen over themselves to pay her a speaking fee and give her a book deal for being an "activist."

Don't you see? She tells kids not to do something that she herself is profiting from. That's like a drug dealer spearheading a "Just Say No" campaign.

You can't profit from something and then complain when someone points out that your message is full of shiat.

Unless I misremember by 1st Amendment law, legally speaking Bristol Palin is what is called a "limited purpose public figure." The idea of a limited purpose public figure is that they are not protected from defamation or invasion of privacy on the issues that they push themselves into the media for.

So, if you're really looking for irony...legally speaking, not only is making fun Bristol's pregnancies OK, it's one of the ONLY topics that're OK to make fun of her about.

dear right-wing,

Heres the difference. No one on the left has made bill maher their lord and savior, like you've done with rushy.

You hang on limbeaughs every word, you proudly proclaim yourselves dittoheads, your politicians are afraid to criticize him and those that dare to are forced to apologize, he's invited to speak at your political rallies.

You know how maher is treated by the left? 90% with a "who?" 9.9% with, "hey that was marginally funny" and the rest are to busy burning flags on veterans graves to pay attention.

Stop it already.

You have only yourselves to blame.

What's with the derpy greenlights, is Joe the Plumber moderating today?

I'll get the fainting couch!

STFU Michelle Malkin, and go EABOD.

Seriously a Twiatchy link?

Slow day, mods?

She's being paid to convince people to make her same bad decision. That's insanity.

...which is based entirely on her publicity. See that part you're missing?

Just yesterday the guy opening for Romney attacked Michelle Obama and her daughters. He wasn't a comedian though.

Maher is anti-political correctness. You should hear the horrible things he says about Muslims.

You'd think the right wingers would have this guy's back. After all, he stood up for Rush Limbaugh during the whole Sandra Fluke thing.

Any excuse to pretend to be outraged, I guess...

Cletus C.: DarwiOdrade: Cletus C.: DarwiOdrade: Cletus C.: It is OK to denigrate women if they meet certain standards.

One woman was called a slut because she wanted government-paid birth control.

Another woman was called a coont because she is the voice of a bunch of right wingnuts.

Guess which one is OK.

The one that wasn't made by a CPAC keynote speaker?

Certainly not the one who injected $1 million into the presidential race.

Do you honestly believe candidates should be held responsible for statements made by those who donate? Really?

He's also a political commentator, just like Limbaugh, for cripe's sake.

This is the similarity:

Neither one is "okay," inasmuch as the use of the word in either situation is somewhat asinine. Both are "okay," inasmuch as, hey, free speech. Love it or plug your farking ears and move on with your life. Either way, you don't get to prevent people from saying things that don't put people in danger.

This is the difference:

Maher has donated to the campaign of a Democrat. This reflects on Maher, not on the Democrat. If the Democrat turned it down, that would reflect on the democrat, because he would be A) An idiot if he needed the money or B) A principled idealist if he did not need the money.

Rush has been selected as a speaker for CPAC and named the honorary head of the Republican party. This reflects, respectively, on CPAC and the Republican party. If he had denied either the role or the title, this would reflect on him as well as a person who disagreed with the mission or actions of the group who he turns down.

They have a lord and savior, therefore the left MUST have one, even if the right has to pick him for them.

Proteios1: I like maher. He's the left wings rush limbough. He insults honest people, ignores facts, I love it.as a moderate, it's quickly becoming a bunch of nut jobs of the left and right and maybe we can finally have a moderate political party to get rid of all these extremists

No, Bill Maher is not the left's Rush. He's not even the left's Glenn Beck. I have never heard anyone, anywhere quote him or even discuss him as a political luminarie. He may consider himself one of the left, but he is about as influential as the fark liberal consensus. Progressives just don't work that way, and to believe otherwise is intellectually dishonest.

Except the in the vast majority of the cases, if not all, when people view Beck or Limbaugh as a "political luminary" it is the libs or progressives that do it. They are the ones who give Beck and Limbaugh that status.

How about the parts of the republican leadership who eventually apologized for disagreeing with Rush?

Bill Maher is an asshole.

That being said, he's also an asshole who is more-than-occasionally funny; and Politically Incorrect was a good show.

Yeah, the minute Obama, or any Democrat anywhere publicly apologizes to Maher, call me. He holds no political power over anyone. Love him or hate him, don't pretend he has much of an impact in this country.

You mean apart from elected Republican representatives?

Cletus C.: Was Fluke in fact not speaking to Congress about the importance of government-provided birth control?

She was not, in fact, speaking to Congress about the importance of government-provided birth control. She was speaking about the importance of treating hormonal therapies as equal to other drugs under prescription drug insurance plans.

Cletus C.: kronicfeld: Cletus C.: One woman was called a slut because she wanted government-paid birth control.

Man, you people just don't even try to pretend to want to understand the actual facts.

Please enlighten me as to the actual facts. Also include some true facts. Factual facts also would be appreciated.

Was Fluke in fact not speaking to Congress about the importance of government-provided birth control? Which, by the way, is probably one of the wisest government investments ever.

Actually she was speaking about the necessity of insurance coverage for birth control. So no.

Boo-friggin'-hoo.

My problem with this is that it plays right into Sarah Palin's hands. She thrives in the attacks against her and her family because there's nothing she (and Republicans in general) love more than for her to prop herself on that cross and play the victim. I really wish people just shut the hell up about that whole family.

/RING

Maher: Hello?
Obama: Hey, Bill, it's Barak. Listen, can you put a few zingers in there against the Palins for me? I totally need to humiliate their daughter to win next fall.
Maher: OK. How about I give you a million dollars, too?
Obama: That's my man! Just take it easy on the retard stuff. Sarah takes that way too personally.

Shorter TFA:

"Moooooommmmmeeeeeee!!!!!! The liberals are punching back again!!!!"

Seriously, Rush and Glenn go after the Obama kids, and that's just fine to Malkin and co. A liberal fires back at a candidate's kids (one who does regularly throw herself into the political arena), and it's full on poutrage. God damn I hate American conservatives.

Bill Mahr isnt even a democrat. Who cares? Obama gonna be held responsible for anything anyone says now? Even republicans?

antidisestablishmentarianism: So if I read that right:
Bill Maher said something kind of funny about Bristol and it's actually Obama being a hypocrite and not honoring campaign statements.

What the f*ck?

According to the conservatives, EACH liberal speaks for EVERY liberal - even the POTUS. They're dicks like that, and that kind of rhetoric plays well in Jesusland and on AM radio.

Cletus C.: Let me state the obvious and say this place is filled with hypocrites. Blatant. Stupid. Tiring. Sanctimonious. Hypocrites.

Wow. You snotrags just keep throwing lamb legs to the right-wing.

The next time you wonder how anybody could ever be so moronic, so farking retarded, so gawddamned clueless as to vote for a Republican take a good look at yourselves. You're chum in a shark cage, morans.

Oh no, please do explain how we're the hypocrites here. Go on. I can't wait for the factual evidence that will surely spew forth from your pie-hole.

Bristol Palin is a reality show star which automatically makes her deserving of mockery. Bill Maher is pretty much a clueless dick and doesn't speak for anyone who matters.

In short, I'm not really sure why I'm posting in this thread.

Her baby would be named Bartles James because she got drunk on wine coolers and can't remember conceiving him. Seriously, she said that.

Precious Roy's Horse Dividers: And this thread is now about the movie Chloe.

NSFW I repeat NSFW scene

This new screen protector is AMAZING!

Codenamechaz: What? A comedian made a joke about a public figure? Oh the scandal. I do believe I have the vapors.

Comedian? Aren't they supposed to be funny? Slightly amusing?

Bill Maher is an asshole. I agree with most of his views, but he's a farking attention-whoring asshole.

That said, Bristol, who's writing columns for some conservative website, is fair game.

Willow, Piper, Trig? No.
Sasha, Malia? No

Precious Roy's Horse Dividers: NSFW I repeat NSFW scene

Holy fark that is pretty hot.

paygun: It's not like he called her a slut.

She was never a slut... she was just too stupid to use birth control.

Precious Roy's Horse Dividers: rufus-t-firefly: Diogenes: kingoomieiii: Diogenes: They had Chloe on recently. Any network that has Julianne Moore getting fingerbanged by Amanda Seyfried can't be all that bad!

That movie has WHAT in it?

Moore hires escort Seyfried to seduce her husband, Neeson, and in the process is seduced herself. Leading to a hot lesbo scene.

Screencaps or it didn't happen.

Check out my link upthread

MOTHER OF GOD.

I'm rufus-t-firefly, and I approve that link.

Maybe someone should explain to the twitchy staff how a superpac works and that Obama is not in charge of it.

OMG! A guy I've been told to hate said something about someone I've been told to support!

I'd better go see what I'm supposed to say in response.

My only problem with this is the fact that Bristol is going to see her name in headlines and continue to think that she is somehow important.
