    How is this not a racist comment???
    Just saw Bill Maher on tv railing against Mitt Romney and he said -

    "If you told Romney he could get elected if he was a black woman, he'd run out and get a weave and change his name to LaTisha"


    Funny, yeah it is...but how is that not bigoted like Imus and the Rutgers basketball nappy headed hoe comment?

        Not big on politically correct blah blah blah myself, but that is the difference.

              Because Maher is a liberal, they can get away with shit like that.


              p.s. Bernard McGuirk was more to blame for the nappy headed ho comment then Imus, he set him up for that gag.
              Imus could not help himself

                  simple. Maher is a liberal, they can get away with it, conservatives can. Go ask Hank Williams Jr. and Imus.
                  Look at Olbermann, Maddow, Shaprtom, schultz(esp. him now), just about the whole msnbc line up. Says 1000 times worse then anything fox news hosts have ever said. It is just pure hate.
                  I don't agree with Hannity at all, or Neal Cuevto, but they don't have the same snarky snotty hate filled comments that the other side does like Maher, and the people i mentioned above.

                      Bill Maher can be funny when he is not so filled with hate, some of his 'new rules' on hbo are pretty damn good. Used to watch his show every now and then.

                                There's a difference between a fat tea bagger with a confederate flag saying racist shit than a liberal that fukks black women. Easy shit itchy.

                                        I tend to agree with this. I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat but it does seem that Liberals can get away with more. I actually like Bill Maher. His Documentary Religulous was excellent.

                                        That being said... I'm hoping Libertarians are the party of the future. For now... I would like to see Ron Paul be elected. I'll settle for Hermain Cain if I have to.

                                                so are you trying to say the confederate flag is racist?

                                                    Of course it was racist. Liberals are allowed to be racist. Blacks are just lemmings anyway.

                                                        the reason it is not racist is not because Maher is a liberal , it is mostly has to do with the fact that Romney IS a power hungry.right wing nut who will do anything to get into the whitehouse

                                                        Maher, imo, is trying to point this out, ..nothing against black women
                                                        @ least I do not see how a weave or a pointing out a name like Latisha is racist

                                                            I dated a black chick named Latisha in high school, she had a weave. There is nothing wrong with the bane or weave ... Now.... Nappy headed hoe.... That is offensive, it should have got the same response even if it was said by a black radio host. There is a big double standard there. Also, the confederate flag is kinda racist ... I mean, the south was trying to break off mainly to keep their slaves .... I also find the confederate flag really annoying and stupid. You didn't fight in the war, you do not know anybody who did .... Quit saying the south is gonna rise again, it's not going to happen, and it's UnAmerican!

For the record the women's Rutgers basketball team were some nappy headed hos and there was nothing racist said by Imus, he evenly complimented the cute black girls on the women's TN team that beat them. If you're a team of pitch black bitches that all look like Bubba from Forrest Gump with ghetto tattoos on both arms ya might have to take an occasional jab from a radio joker like Imus or Stern, its not racist thats just what they do is tell jokes
