You want to say "unbelievable", but these days, does this really surprise anybody?

Maher: Obama Not Acting Like A "Real Black" President
HBO's Bill Maher: "I thought when we elected a black president, we were going to get a black president. You know, this [BP oil spill] is where I want a real black president. I want him in a meeting with the BP CEOs, you know, where he lifts up his shirt where you can see the gun in his pants. That's -- (in black man voice) 'we've got a motherfu**ing problem here?' Shoot somebody in the foot."

That is a racist comment. Of course since he is a part of the liberal elite he won't get in any trouble:mad2:

WOW. I can't imagine any republican or conservative getting away with that.

But then, I've had doubts about Barry myself.

Nothing he has done in his term thus far would've been tolerated if it was Bush in office. For the most "transparent admininistration ever" there is certainly a whole lot of insider shadiness going on.

As a conservative, I find a lot of things Bill Maher and John Stewart say offensive. They rope in young minds with humor. But some people can say whatever they want with no repercussions.

I remember a number of years ago, Charles Barkley was talking about Keith Van Horn at halftime of a game and said something like, "Finally, there's a white guy in the NBA who actually knows how to play." Everyone on the set just laughed, and there was no mention of it anywhere the next day.

I found that much more offensive than what Rush Limbaugh said about McNabb.

As I said, some people can say whatever they want ...

Maher should be hounded out of public life. And not just for that idiotic comment either, but for his long history of arrogance and bigotry.

Bill Maher is a loser. Can't stand his comedy especially since I'm a conservative.

I think it's kind of funny...and, see, that's the thing about farce. He can say this and have a deeper meaning (which is, in this case, that Obama is NOT living up to his own self-aggrandized ability to solve every problem and right every wrong, as promised) and still get a laugh on the surface...or piss off conservatives because he understands that as a liberal, he as a wider range of free speech to work with.

Lighten up, Francis'...at best, you are falling into the trap by rising to his baiting.

Bill Maher is not funny either though. His job title may be comedian but most of his "jokes" are not funny. And yes I've O Reilly say a lot of funny stuff

C'mon folks... You must realize that he was the comedic darling of the Right during the Clinton years, then fell out of favor during the Bush years, and I'm sure will fall in favor again during Obama. No one seems to get the point that his job is to make fun of sitting presidents.

How is this possible, Tony? You've been a member here something like three minutes, and you already have everyone beat in postcount... How does that happen? Did HTG spot you posts?

Comedian, writer, or court jester, that was a dumb comment.

Gee - what a shocker, huh?

I wish these pickleheads would just stop with the color bullshit. Whether he acts like a "black" president or a "white" president, he's still an incompetent boob.

That's a terrible thing to say about boobs, which BTW, I hold in very high regard.

Bill Maher is a total lib jackass. He has to use humor to get people to watch his show. Its like listening to nails on a chalkboard.
