Maher Booed for Telling Gay Joke About Marcus Bachmann and Gaddafi Getting Sodomized
Although there are no limits to what Bill Maher will say about conservatives, it appears some of his audience members have a shred of decency that he doesn't.
When the host of HBO's Real Time made a gay joke involving Michele Bachmann's husband Marcus and Moammar Gaddafi being sodomized with a stick after his capture, some audience members actually booed (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: The candidates are all dressing up for Halloween. Michele Bachmann is going as Wonder Woman. And her husband Marcus is going as Wonder Woman.
[Cheers and applause]
MAHER: No, he was going to go as Wonder Woman. Then he saw that tape, that video on the internet of Gaddafi getting a stick up his ass. Now he's going as Gaddafi.
[Cheers and applause, then boos]
MAHER: Come on. Only a minute into the show and you're booing me. I mean, come on. It's going to get worse.
Well, at least Maher was being honest, for it was going to get worse.
Nice to see that some of his fans know when he's gone too far.
If only there were more of them.

If anybody knows about sticking things there he would because his head always resides there!

I think he is an idiot, but my wife says he has to go over the edge to get attention
as he has become mostly irrelevant. I think she might be right.........Coulter seems
to like him, so perhaps it is simply adesperate attention-seeking gig.......
Homosexual?

With all his references to homosexuality, I gather he's one himself.
I actually watched a little

I actually watched a little bit of ol' Donkeyface's show last night,although I didn't hear this. But I did see an absolutely ludicrous exchange between this one lunatic 'black' guy - I know who he is, but I'm not sure of his name (big afro, glasses, gap between his front teeth, super animated and high-strung) - and another 'black' guy who was extremely composed and under control. And there was some 'white' guy - a total tool and fool - sitting next to the animated guy, and he was crawling all over him in support of his histrionics........................even Donkeyface was rather aghast at the goings-on, as far as it looked to me. But I could only take a couple minutes of it, and I found a local high school football game to watch.
I didn't hear significant booing

I see/hear nothing that would give me hope for the left coming to their senses.

I didn't watch the show (never will), but from your description it sounds like he was talking to Cornel West (the animated one) and Tavis Smiley (the subdued one), a couple of real gems. With the crap they spout they're right at home on Maher's cesspool of a show
Yeah..............that's who
Submitted by killa37 on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 2:26pm.
Yeah..............that's who it was!!! I've seen this joker before. But the other 'black' guy wasn't Natso Smiley, cause I know who he is. Actually, the other 'black' guy appeared to be kind of a conservative, which is obviously why West was going at him so hard. But the real clown was the guy sitting next to West.............it looked like some horny puberty-stricken pimple-faced teen-age boy trying to cop a feel from the school Prom Queen!!!!
Like I said, even Donkeyface was speechless!!!
Alas - I awaken - Maher is booed . . .

. . I begin the day with a thin slice of optimism that there may yet be hope left for humanity.
Never lived for booing prior to this. Hmm.

So anyone that disagrees is sick?

Well, that could be a few people. Sure hope Obama care can handle the overload..lots of sick people out there.
Anyone who laughs and cheers

at a "joke" about a man being violently sodomized is sick.

You are right. Obama should be one of the first.

You gotta remember, Allah-ak-Maher's audience is bottom of the barrel scum. He can say the vilest things one can imagine about Michele Bachman & Sarah Palin, and they are ok with it. Once he says something that may be offensive to homosexuals, well, that just crosses the line.
Logic?
Submitted by Annie Ashe Fields on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 1:28pm.
Dems are supposed to be champions for gays, right?
So... Characterizing same sex activity in such a foul and insulting manner...
HELPS THAT ALONG?
I guess you'd have to be a nuanced lib to understand.
For Maher and many stand-up comics . . .

. . . rape is funny. At least a few in his audience realized it and booed.
That would be bad enough, but these same celebrities will then speak out against rape.
I doubt that the majority of his audience

has any problem with anything offensive he says. He reaches them in the gutter - nothing unusual.
Maybe the only reason they're booing...
Submitted by Kaleidoscopic God on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 7:00pm.
...was because he took a swipe at Gaddafi in the process. :P

Good!

if you are a conservative, a Christian, a woman...or any combination thereof....AND you subscribe to HBO...you are paying Bill Maher's salary and for everything he says on his show. I cancelled HBO and now give that money to a very worthy cause...Wounded Warriors Project. I feel much better about what becomes of those dollars.
