Bill Maher, who donated $1 million to Obama's campaign has made another offensive statement. What are the chances that Democrats will demand that Obama distance himself from Maher or refund his money? (That is a rhetorical question.)

Quote:Bill Maher Warns Romney Supporters: 'Black People Know Who You Are and They Will Come After You'[/INDENT]
Bill Maher on HBO's Real Time Friday might have said one of the most disgraceful things uttered during the 2012 campaign season.
"If you're thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you"
Imagine for a moment the outrage if a conservative commentator said even jokingly to Obama supporters, "White people know who you are and they will come after you."
That would be the end of that person's career. Period. No questions asked. Done!
But Maher who's adored by the Obama-loving media can say this with total impunity.

Voter intimidation involves putting undue pressure on a voter or group of voters so that they will vote a particular way, or not at all.
Seems to read like a threat to violence to me but will Mr. Maher be brought up on charges? Will anyone in the Democratic party repudiate these comments?

The man, and his followers are nothing more than complete jokes, and always have been.

He is a political satirist, the same as Maher is. Maher does not do slap stick comedy and he will never have a sit-com. You are trying to give Maher a pass because you, and most liberals, apply a double standard to these two men.

I like to point out the hypocrisy of liberals like Obama and his supporters. Maher is the perfect tool for that purpose. :biggrin:

There is no way any conservative could say those types of comments without being flogged by the media.
