Bill Maher is supposed to be some kind of comedian but is not funny except to liberals and he does some kind of news show that is not accurate nor funny.
Well, Maher is also a stand up comedian who also shows no class.
From Norm and the LVRJ: Former Las Vegas TV personality Ron Futrell was escorted out of liberal comedian Bill Maher’s show at the Palms on Saturday after a heckling incident.
Futrell, an outspoken conservative known for his Twitter rants, told the Review-Journal he was offended that Maher mocked special- needs individuals by using the “r word” against Sarah Palin’s special-needs son.
“I’ve got a son with special needs,” Futrell said. “It didn’t surprise me that Maher said it. It surprised me that a lot of people laughed at that joke.”
Futrell said he moved down from his original seats in The Pearl concert venue to “about the 50th row” to engage Maher.
Futrell, a former sports anchor and daytime anchor at ABC affiliate KTNV-TV, Channel 13, before he was fired in 2008, chided Maher for a joke about Halliburton, the oil field services giant.
“Halliburton? It’s 2013,” Futrell said several times, until he got Maher’s attention. http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/norm-clarke/ex-sports-anchor-chides-bill-maher
Seriously, why would a comedian have to resort to picking on a Down Syndrome child and use the word "Retard" and who in their right mind would think that's funny. If you have to resort to stooping down to that level, you are not a funny person, but just a pathetic ass hole.
And if you are still bringing up Haliburton (and Palin), they are yesterday day's news (actually yesteryears), it shows your material has not evolved to 2013.
Bill Maher: Just a pathetic human being.
I'd really like to see the context of this joke. Much is being made of this, and we don't have anything to go on besides this guy's report, and it isn't as though he doesn't have an agenda.
ReplyDeleteI would bet you the joke was leveled at Sarah, not Trig. Did he use the word "retard?" "Retarded?" In respect to Trig specifically or Sarah in particular? Yes, the word is mostly off-limits, though Palin excused Rush Limbaugh for saying it because he's a "satirist." And don't forget the very, very, very common usage on the right of the word "libtard."
Details! I want details.
