Okay, Maher runs on HBO and so there are no advertisers. Rush runs on broadcast radio and is supported by advertisers. If people don't want to watch Maher then they simply don't get HBO or they don't watch. HBO monitors set top boxes and they yank programs that aren't watched enough. The way people change broadcast TV or radio is to let the advertisers know what they support. This is in no way even remotely the same process and thus not hypocritical at all.

As for outrage, I've heard the rants on FOX and Clear Channel stations about Maher from the hosts and the callers so I'm pretty sure that counts as outrage. I'm fairly sure those same people write HBO on a regular basis. Also, I don't know anyone who considers Maher to be a news source and I know plenty of people that consider Rush to be one of their primary news sources (let's not forget the politicians that also reiterate Rush over and over even in Congressional hearings and on the campaign trail).

As to my personal opinion, I find both to be entirely too full of themselves and rather disrespectful to numerous people and topics.

Bring it Huckabee!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/03/11/david-frum-mike-huckabee-brings-on-rush-limbaugh-s-decline.html

However, Limbaugh’s calculation that his core advertisers must return always rested on the assumption that there was nowhere else to go. Suddenly, in the worst month of Limbaugh’s career, somewhere else has appeared: a lower-priced alternative, with big audience reach and a host an advertiser can trust never, ever to abuse a student as a “slut” and “prostitute.”
The new Huckabee show’s slogan is “more conversation; less confrontation.” “I don’t want it to be a show that every day, every hour, pushes everyone’s buttons to raise their blood pressure,” Huckabee says. “I figure the cost of high blood pressure is enough already.”

None that I could find. Seems to have been
a Sylvia Brown projection sort of thing.
Lots of magical thinking on the right.
And Bill Maher is not the leftwing
equivelent to Rush Limbaugh.
There isn't one.

I just want to know what changed to take Maher out of the stand-up line-up of the Carson era Tonight Show and make him a pundit. I didn't follow his early talk show career... was it just timing ya think?

General reply - I believe this was meant kind of tongue-in-cheek, not an announcement as to when she will be on the show.

Servant, you spelled hypocrisy wrong.

(LOL - kidding! From the other thread? Get it?)

I was actually watching something about this just today, how the more conservative-type shows are being bashed and the more liberal shows can still continue saying what they want. (No idea if this is true - I only had the TV on while I was cooking.) I seem to remember Bill Maher getting eaten alive a few years ago, though, so...maybe it just goes in cycles.

I don't watch any of them anyway. I get too annoyed at the general closed-mindedness of Rush and the like as well as the flippant insults that come from Maher and the like.

What the hell does that have to do with Limbaugh's problems ? What advertisers should pull their ads ? Why ? A truly ridiculous partisan stretch.

I'll be surprised if Maher gets anyone on his show from the administration until after Obama loses the election.
Well, thats providing the Republicans can pull their heads out of their collective asses and run a campaign...
It's not like Obama can run on his credentials or record this time. That would be a disaster for him.
Hell, there's even a petition for Obama to resign on the White House web site...

I think it's pretty interesting that Rush already has at least one of the advertisers who left him try to get back on his show as a sponsor. I'm even more intrigued by the news that he told them to take a hike.
Several of his sponsors stocks have dropped dramatically I hear (unconfirmed, but judging from the conservative chatter it sounds likely enough)
There are a few conservative companies actively courting sponsorship with him. Twitchy.com is the most prominent of these.
These facts are a counter to the liberal belief that Rush Limbaugh or his listeners can be swayed by "Slutgate", which appears to them to be smoke and mirrors intentionally designed to draw conservative citicism.
If Rush surrounds himself with a conservative sponsorship, he will become untouchable by the lefts manipulation of public opinion because he will say exactly what his sponsors and listeners want to hear.

Reid and Pelosi may have inadvertently made Rush Limbaugh completely immune to liberal manipulation. Time will tell...

With a weak President and the potential for the loudest conservative voice in the world to become impervious to liberal hate-mongering, I think this should be an interesting election cycle...

What's this? Some delusional shot that maybe you can anger me?

Nice try ... You came around here spoiling for a fight... sorry all that's available is a rejection slip

But keep typing all the liong drawn out diatribes you want at me. If it keeps you too busy to harass the women here, I'm all for it.

Just out of curiosity is Obama going to lose to the guy that has 65% of the republican base against him.. the guy who has 71% of the republican base against him, the guy who has 85% of the republican base against him or the guy who has 89% of the republican base against him?

I think I may want to make a Vegas bet on this depending on your answer.

edited to add my druthers - Brokered convention with John Huntsman getting the nod from the GOP. I think he pulled out to early. (get yer minds outta the street and back in the gutter where they belong ya pervs!)

edited to add again - I just realized my post is completely off topic. So, um.. to keep it on topic... I don't care how many people or sponsors quit Rush.. really, but I abhore censorship and don't want to see 'any' side pulled off the air. I don't believe I can make sound, informed decisions without the ability to shift though the ideas or ideals of as many sides and opinions as I can.

Since Maher's PAC just gave Obama 1 million dollars, anything he says is ok.

Hey... you know what? I went and looked around and couldn't even find one of your typically spooky sources saying that. Where did you get that? Or did you make that whopper up too?

No. That's not it. Obama can't run on his record. He can't win by a landslide this time. He blasted Bush for a number of things that he is still claiming to this day are keeping him from doing his job, but look at the conservative perception of Obamas record.

Obama has continued every major Bush Jr. policy from foreign affairs to taxes cuts but in a watered down version that renders them useless.
He endlessly apologises for his country being successful to foreign dignitries,
He has reduced employment overall with very few real gains.
Gas is almost double what it was when he took office.
His energy policies have failed on every front from Solyndra to KeyStone to florescent light bulbs.
Even the media is beginning to grudgingly admit that he might be in for a fight this election cycle because he has been an utter failure on every level.
Taxes may very well be higher on the middle class, which will be a hard sell when people actually realize that the Republicans only control 1 branch of government...
Cars are more expensive because of Cash for Clunkers
Homes are losing value still after 3 years...
Guantanamo is still open in spite of his pledge to close it in the first year.
For the first time in history the U.S. has been given less than the highest rating by S&P.

Things are clearly not better after 3 years of Obama. Many poor and middle class families no longer have the audacity to hope for change (Matt Damon said that I believe)

Obamacare has some serious issues and has been challenged all the way to the Supreme Court. That's normal, but the reaction to it by the Bamsters administration is not normal... Regardless, liberals will support him on that until they realize how it will ultimately effect them.
He DID kill Osama Bin Laden, and thats in his favor, but all he did was carry out the exact plan Bush laid out.
It is easier for Obama to lose than it is to win. He will do okay as long as he can manage to keep his past under wraps to fool his base again.
It's an election the Republicans can lose too though. They will probably manage to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory though, unless they get their shit together.

Obama is struggling to keep his base. The Republicans are struggling to get one.
The reality is that if Obama can't get the voters out like he did in the last election, he's sunk.
I think it will be easier for the conservatives to get their people angry enough to vote than it will be for Obama to convince his base that he deserves a second term.

Back on topic. I'm not a Bill Maher fan but I will give him props for standing up for Rush. That was a fairly classy thing to do.
Honestly I'm surprised that the left didn't try to boycott Maher for that.

The Million $$$ donation story from Maher to the Obama super PAC can be found on Breitbart, The Blaze, or just about any FOX site. Been there for about a week...

Do you believe those sites? The most trustworthy one of the bunch, FOX, has a well-earned reputation for prevarication.

Since it has the actual video of the interview with Maher about his donation, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's probably a pretty accurate story.
