Bill Maher Calls Sarah Palin A 'Dumb [Vagina]'
The sexist media attacks on Sarah Palin clearly know no bounds.
On Friday, in the middle of his opening monologue on HBO's "Real Time," Bill Maher actually used a highly derogatory term for a woman's vagina while referring to the former Alaska governor (video courtesy Jeff Poor follows with transcript and commentary, serious vulgarity warning):
BILL MAHER: Oh, and did you hear this? [Laughs] Sarah Palin finally heard what happened in Japan…
[Audience laughter]
MAHER: …and she’s demanding that we invade Tsunami. I mean, she says, “These Tsunamians will not get away with this.” Oh speaking of dumb twats, did you…
[Audience laughter and applause]
MAHER: Oh, you’re right, yeah I let the cat out the bag on that one, huh folks?”
Is the universal media hatred for this woman so pervasive that it's now acceptable for a man to call her that?
Can the dreaded C-word be far behind?
At what point will women's groups such as NOW step in and complain about this disgracefully sexist treatment?
Or has the double standard surrounding women on different sides of the political aisle now reached a point that anything no matter how vulgar or offensive is totally acceptable if it is said about a conservative?
Nice job, Bill. Stay classy!

MODERN USAGE
Although sometimes used as a reference to the female genitalia, the word twat is more often used in various other ways:
As a derogatory insult, a pejorative meaning a fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real twat and a half' (often used in the UK)[3]...

Nevertheless, Maher should apologize. His comments and descriptive epithet aimed at Sarah Palin are shameful, insulting and inexcusable, but hardly surprising considering the source.

And, he's also called a "pussy". Is that an inexcusable vulgarity?
Look, Maher's a jerk. The lib "comics" should gjve the Palin bashing a rest. It's crass and tasteless. But the vulgarity level wasn't quite at the rock bottom stage that I anticipated.

I was commenting on "nuance" and how it seems people have in common what a word or phrase means to most, so when it's used, that's what heard, not the lessor known/newer application.
When the speaker {or his/her defenders} explains they meant how *they* understood it's meaning, and it was NOT the normal usage, it sounds like rationalization to me, always has. No matter who does it. Our language is so fluid, it's easy to play this game, but I don't have to like it.

Jer, You are correct...(wow I never thought I would type these words were talking about you. LOL). You are very right, people should not be calling our President a pussy. It is as demeaning as calling Palin a twat. However, you seem to be excusing Maher's horrific, crass, classless behavior by pointing to similar behavior from the Right. Since when do two wrongs make a right? Furthermore, the Left in America, individuals like Maher love to claim that they are pro-women, that women should be respected, etc, etc, etc and the Left in America is the first one to go after conservative women with classless an digusting insults. Liberals do exactly the same thing with minorities like Justice Thomas, Dr. Rice, Right-leaning minority men/women like me. If as a woman or a so called minority one doesn't fall in line with the Left wing masses with the Democratic party, the disgusting names that we are called are inexcusable. Of course if Left wingers perceive that Right wingers insult women or minorities, the same ones that juts finished insulting conservative women and minorities will attempt to destroy these Right wing pundits and politicians. By the way, unrelated to this forum. But I thought you would like it. I am completing my MBA and currently I am in a legal business class. We are debating the legality of "Obamacare" and the "tax" of the individual mandate. The commerce clause is being used and cases like Filburn, Raich, Heart of Atlanta Hotel are being brought up. On the other hand, i and others in the class are saying that the government can't punish individuals for choosing not to be part of a market, for inactivity. All the cases named by judges who have upheld "Obamacare" deal with an activity, not inactivity. Sadly, there are about three to four in my class who have already brought up attacks against Foxnews, conservative websites that I and others have linked to. Overall, though, an interesting debate based on the Constitutionality of Obamacare. The professor asked us if judges should be considering health care or the health care services/market. A classmate brought up Judge Sheeh's decision, in which the judge said that, "....healthcare services are a fundamental need..." to which I clearly say that this is a judge stating his personal bias into a court decision, thus he should have recused himself since by his own words in his decision he proved he could not be an impartial arbitrary. Of course, there is ZERO agreement whether or not health care services are a fundamental need. I am unsure how this judge could insert such language into his decision. Of course the Left wingers in my class are having a heart attack. It is fun to watch.hmmm....where are the breaks

You have to hit the "Switch to Rich Text" below the comment box before you type (it will change the outlying box from yellow w/white interior to all gray. You'll also have some of your format icons back that way.
Total PITA, but we're apparently still utilizing a work in progress. Cheers!

Hi Blonde!!!
thank you for the tip.
It looks like it is working...YAY!
Fut...did you change over to FF and add the Style/Code?
Submitted by Blonde on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 1:38am.
That really helps the "look and feel" of NB as well. (although it doesn't fix this stupid comment nonsense).
If not, go to the Forums...Matthew posted some new code for the "Stylish" add-in for FF. At the bottom of the Forum, I posted the instructions how to do the whole shebang.
Apologies to any and all who know how this stuff works, but I was getting a lot of pm's and whatnot, asking for help, so I just put it out there.
The upgrade in FF and the new style/code really helps...the widescreen effect is much better, it gets rid of all of the icky comment numbers, and the comments are now displayed in alternating grey/white boxes, with a nice border, like the old NB. They're still working on the formatting, but it's getting better.
Glad to be of assistance, Fut....don't be such a stranger!!!

It was meant as a low and demeaning insult. You didn't try to explain the anti-semetic insult above, why would you try to explain this? I don't see anyone trying to explain the "N" word away. Whenever these kind of explanations are given it shows me that somewhere, the explainer doesn't really think it's all that bad. Otherwise it would condemned.Obviously you arer NOT Old Hickory ...

What would Andrew Jackson have done with this turd, Maher?
I think Maher would have found himself standing 20 paces from Jackson with a pistol in his hand. The next thing Maher would have seen was St. Peter asking him why he was holding a pistol.
No, NL...and neither are you

but please keep playing the 'Old Hickory' card every few months. Jackson had his faults, but I never tire of being reminded of one of Tennessee's most admired figures...war hero, President, and, of course, notable Democrat who had an entire period of American history named for him.

The point was that Jackson would NEVER have tolerated this punk Maher. Had the slur occurred in Jackson's presence, Maher would have been killed or shamed.
What's more, society as a whole at that time reflected Jackson's attitude about this kind of vulgarity directed at respectable women. Maher would have been ostracized from all polite society. Nowadays, he is not only tolerated, but feted, by the liberal intellectual elites of the Democrat party. Which Democrat party are YOU a member of : Jackson's or today's? Hint : unless you are about 200 years old, you do not get to choose Jackson's.

Even Maher knows that with all that has occurred over the past couple of months (not to mention tha last two years...) this country would be infinetely better off with a President Palin. All he can do is lash out in his uncouth and low-brow way to try and make him and his sheeple followers feel better. Maher is even more irrelevant than Olberman.Madison and Jefferson and Franklin built a Republic - Roberts killed it!

Maher always says ridiculous and demeaning things about anyone on the right who he feels like targeting that night. And he does it secure in the knowledge that his (probably handpicked) audience will roar its approval at his "cutting wit."
The truth of the matter is that in a true, moderated debate Palin quite easily would own Maher, exposing him for the intellectual lightweight that he is. And he knows it.
Maher is little more than a professional bully. A frightened little man desperately trying to maintain some semblance of relevance.
Palin would never demean herself to appear on the same...

Vagina is not the same thing as t**t. The vagina is an internal structure. It is not what you see when a woman drops her pants. About 80% of the country is using the wrong word like a bunch of kids who read the dictionary wrong. Look it up for God's sake. The vagina is part of the birth canal. T**t would be vulva try getting it right for a change; or change the metaphor to say, sn**ch. But be a grown up and get it right, look it up, Because if you look at a woman and see her vagina; there's something serious wrong, call 911. As for Bill Maher he's pathetically trying to keep his rating where he can keep his job. We need to just ignore what he says; shun him, let him die on the vine. When even people who don't watch his show are talking about him that's buzz; and that helps him. Ignore him!
