Bill Maher Takes Racist Swipe At Herman Cain: Gingrich is Republican 'Polling Behind a Black Guy'
HBO's Bill Maher on Friday took a racist swipe at Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.
During the New Rules segment of "Real Time," the host said pretending that he was speaking to Newt Gingrich, "Let me put your unpopularity in context for you - you're a Republican and you're polling behind a black guy" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: New rule: Newt Gingrich - just stop. Seriously, your campaign isn't just off to a rough start. It's like you hired me to run it and I purposely ran it into the ground. Let me put your unpopularity in context for you: you're a Republican and you're polling behind a black guy.
I
magine for a moment the media firestorm that would have happened if back in 2008, a conservative talker made such a remark about Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, or any of that year's Democrat candidates that were at times polling behind Barack Obama.
There likely would have been calls from the Left for such a person to be fired.
But a liberal making such a comment about a black conservative?
Heck, HBO will probably give him a raise.

I watched Maher this week for some odd reason. He says at least one sexist comment every week, a racist comment every week, and at least three swipes at Sarah Palin. He's even more boring than Letterman at this point and I stopped watching Dave like twenty five years ago. This week was the moonbat patrol. How ill informed these lefties were was really on full display....

Maher admits here, that he believes blacks are inferior to whites.
Given the condescending "I'm here to protect you" attitude of liberal whites toward blacks, this is no surprise except here, Maher actually plants his standard in a bold statement.
I'll go further to say that the hucksters, Sharpton and Jackson, share Maher's belief. You will hear nothing from either in defense of their equality concerning Maher's statement.

They are so consumed by the victimhood/entitlement mentality engendered by liberals and stoked by the likes of black race profiteers, that they are blind to the fact that they work on a vote-churning plantation run by Democrats. They will gladly settle for "free" public assistance, affirmative action, and preferential treatment in hiring and elsewhere. Their continual, and unshakable, support for Democrats is only a symptom of the problem, however. The black community at large is dysfunctional in the dictionary sense of the word. It is beset by pandemic levels of crime, poverty, out-of-wedlock births, alarming abortion rates, chronic unemployment, and single-parent households.
The hard work needed to solve those problems must come from within; it cannot be imposed by a well-meaning white pundit or politician. It's going to take a nucleus of prominent conservative black public figures, like Herman Cain or Allen West, Tom Sowell or Clarence Thomas to begin that process. And even then, it will be met initially with hostility. Look at what happened to Bill Cosby when he dared to speak the truth to black people in New Orleans after Katrina, who wanted no part of it. It's so much easier to blame all of life's problems on some nebulous, all-pervasive, abstract "racism" on the part of white America than to lay the blame on yourself. That's just human nature.
This statement comes from personal experience: nobody makes a serious change in their life until they take a hard look in the mirror and is ready to accept it. It's going to require a paradigm shift in the thinking of the black community, and I see little evidence that it's forthcoming in the near future.
Good points!
Submitted by BoilerFan on Sun, 06/12/2011 - 8:52am.
I agree that the "dysfunctional" nature of a large chunk of the black community will need to be corrected from within. No attempts to assist in that process from forces outside that community will ever work. But, as you noted, the brutal treatment of Bill Cosby--after he attempted to point out some of these obvious problems--doesn't bode well for the success of any such exploration. Within the black community, and within orthodox liberalism/progressivism, there are some things that can be discussed in an honest and open manner...and there are other issues that are so sensitive and emotional that they're repeatedly swept under the rug. Out of sight, out of mind.

Quoting David Mamet, from his new book The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture:
"......the grand vision of Urban Planning, which destroyed the Black Neighborhood, Welfare, which destroyed the Black Family, and Affirmative Action, which is destroying the Black Youth."
In 1956, Eisenhower received approximately 40% of the black vote. What's happened to the black community since the 1950s? How is it possible that the liberal policies of Urban Planning, Welfare, and Affirmative Action, have created a voting block that is now 90+% in favor of those politicians who created the policies that have destroyed the very same voting block?
Like a drug dealer who gives out free samples, this is not accidental. It will take black leaders with an infinite amount of guts, like Cain, to bring a message of redemption to the black community. The message is simple:
If you want a life of food stamps, subsidized housing, free health care, broken families, blighted neighborhoods, and no opportunity, vote Progressive.
If you want a chance at a job, a chance to improve yourself and your families life, and a chance at self respect, vote Conservative.
It's not an easy message to preach. But it needs to be heard.

Mr. Maher has a show and he uses that medium to put out the usual liberal drivel to his fans. For him to think outside the box and to broadbrush conservatives is in keeping with his liberal mentality. You took Maher's brush to take a swipe at someone you don't even know.
Criticizing any political candidate is no sin. You may like Mr. Cain but that does not put him above and beyond criticism from anyone regardless of where they may fall on the political spectrum.
The fact is that Mr. Cain interchanged a very famous passage from the Declaration of Independence and used it in a speech he gave claiming that it was in the Constitution. That is a point worth taking especially if the candidate sides with issues that are dear to the Tea Party faction of the GOP.
Anyone running for high office should at least have a rudimentary knowledge of Constitutional law . Mr. Cain's ignorance is worth noting.

Maher is a misogynist and a racist, but he's a hero to white liberal males aged 18-30 because he turns their collective hate into humorous (in their minds) barbs on the Right.
I suspect that there are many Weiner-type males in his audience; angry, low self-esteemed, sexually-frustrated young males whose emotional development was arrested at age 14. It would be interesting to poll his audience and find out how many ever had a date in high school.
Palin drives them crazy because they are simultaneously repelled by her politics while they lustfully drawn to her sexuality. Maher leads the attacks against her to satisfy their misogynistic pangs.
Maher racist comments run a greater risk, because his audience isn't black, and never has been. He's never really had a chance to test his racial material on them and get feedback, so he's more likely to anger them with some of his crap.

In fact, even if you didn't put a race requirement on my choice, Allen West is the man.

Just out of curiosity, "Blonde," have you seen any recent polling data regarding the current approval rating of Congressman West? In the aftermath of the Democrats' all-too-predictable "Mediscare" campaign, my assumption was that West's numbers have dropped a few points.

We went to his latest Town Hall which was packed with conservatives and about 8 Move-On types. He's started his re-election campaign.
He seems as popular as ever amongst his supporters. Even the senior crowd down here is mostly disgusted with Obama (this is per my mom and her bridge groups).
There's a pretty good site, called SharkTank.net that follows Florida conservative politics, and it usually has the latest/greatest about Allen, Marco, etc. If I see anything, I'll post a link here for you.
Interestingly, I got a letter from the Broward Republican Committee, asking me to be a precinct chairman! I am not active in that group at all, so it surprised me as it came out of the blue. But I suppose a record of voting republican since I turned eighteen, and missing only one election in all those many years, counts for something. I'm looking into this opportunity. I'm excited about changing the Republican power structure. Pretty cool, huh?

Took a quick look at the site you mentioned...and immediately added it to my "Favorites" list. Thanks for the info.
As an FYI, Blonde: I've been a GOP precinct committeeman and/or vice committeeman for roughly 16 years (while living in two different counties over that period of time) and have spent a bit of time on our local county organization's "steering committee" as well (but only when the meetings and/or events don't directly interfere with my work schedule, which, unfortunately, it often does). Nonetheless, I would strongly encourage you to accept the invitation and get more directly involved in the arena. The best way to assist with the process of giving the party organization some ideological backbone is to encourage more across-the-board conservatives to get directly involved in the party at every level (i.e., local, state and national). Go for it!!!
Back at you, Boiler

What he means is that since Democrats have a history of lynching blacks, and Democrats eulogized Robert (Klansman) Byrd as a guy who did what he had to to get elected (thanks, Bill Clinton), with the dark bigoted history of the Democrat party, it might not be funny.
ClassicLiberal needed this opportunity to laugh about a black man polling higher than a white man.

It indicts the Republican party as an aggregation of racists who would never consider a black man for the presidency. It is a sickening, despicable lie. And it disgusts me that this towering asshole continues to spew such filth.

I caught the "Republican" part also, and it still didn't make Maher's joke funny. Now, I'm sure C-Lib could come back with some nonsense about Jesse Owens and Adolph Hitler at the 1936 Olympics, but that point in History isn't funny, it's spiritually uplifting to the max.

Submitted by BoilerFan on Sun, 06/12/2011 - 8:45am.
I read Maher's comment three times, just to make sure I was grasping his intent and context. It seems patently obvious to me that Maher wasn't first and foremost slamming Hermain Cain. He was slamming Newt Gingrich, specifically, and the rest of the Republican Party, generally. Cain was merely a tool for Maher's race-baiting comment.
Maher was suggesting (as he has quite often over the years) that the Republican Party is full of racists. Therefore, a white Republican (i.e., Gingrich) running for the presidential nomination in a party that doesn't like (or perhaps even hates) black people is performing about as bad as one can possible perform in such contests if he's actually 'polling behind a black guy."
I think the comment is indeed extremely offensive, as it paints the Republican Party as a racist party and diminshes both Gingrich and Cain as individuals. But seeing as how Maher has made a living by endlessly slamming conservative Repubicans, it's not surprising at all to see him pull out his old "Republicans are racists!" playbook yet again. Like so many of his fellow liberals, Maher is way too predictable.

I'm sure you're right, but I think Noel's and others point is that if a conservative had uttered the same line, liberal race baiters would have twisted the meaning and intention of the line, deliberately misinterpreting it to mean that "some white guy was so lame he couldn't do as well as an inferior black guy" and use that deliberate misinterpretation to accuse the conservative of racism.

Are you suggesting that a double standard exists as it relates to racially insensitive remarks (real or perceived) and whether the people making the controversial remarks are liberals or conservatives? Surely you jest. :) LOL... Yes, it bothers me that such a flagrant double standard does in fact exist, but I don't anticipate things changing anytime soon. The libs dominate the "mainstream" media and the entertainment industry. That being the case, they're sure not going to talk honestly about that double standard when they're the very ones responsible for constructing and maintaining it. We can complain about this problem on right-of-center websites, like newsbuster.org, but that amounts to preaching to the choir. If we're fed up with this double standard, we need to express our views, loudly and clearly, "behind enemy lines" (so to speak).

Submitted by Chris Norman on Sun, 06/12/2011 - 9:39am.
I don't think anything we do will ever make the existing mainstream media "see the light" and change their practices. By identifying and highlighting media bias, we get more people to realize that it exists and that it affects elections and the way government and society is run. By doing so, I think it helps us achieve our most realistic goal of marginalizing and making irrelevant these shows that practice liberal bias - and it seems to be working. Before the MRC and NewsBusters, most conservatives thought they were the only ones who, individually, saw the liberal bias. At the very least, posting at NB sure beats yelling at the television screen...

Because his attacks are broad-based, and pretty much "accepted" by the ruling elites of Liberalia, Maher gets away with saying things that, if said about a named individual, could be called slander.

The democrats have historically been against the black people. They only cultivate them for votes. We see whenever a black man succeeds due to his own initiative and not the government, he is marginalized or worse.
We see every time a black man succeeds, another black man that has drunk the koolaide using racist terms to describe him. He calls is brother, everything from oreo to get back to the porch at the plantation.
