Bill Maher: 'Jon Huntsman Can Suck My C--k!'

By Noel Sheppard | November 12, 2011 | 12:37

Noel Sheppard's picture

Bill Maher spent the bulk of his final program of the season Friday disgracefully attacking any Republican he could think of.

Early in the panel segment of HBO's Real Time, the host went into a tirade about the former governor of Utah saying, "Jon Huntsman can suck my c--k" (video follows with transcript and commentary, strong vulgarity warning):

BILL MAHER, HOST: I don’t know what Mitch Daniels, I didn't follow him, but I know Jon Huntsman who’s talked about, wait a second. He’s always talking “He’s the adult. He's the smart one.” Go to his website. He wants to cut taxes. We have too much regulation. He's getting out of the same clown car as the rest of them. Jon Huntsman can suck my cock. Anyway…

CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC: [Laughs] Excuse me.

ANDREW SULLIVAN, THE DAILY BEAST: He wants tax reform. He wants --

MAHER: He’s for the same bulls—t as anybody else.

SULLIVAN: No, no, no, he wants tax reform.

MATTHEWS: They would be for him if it’s the same bulls--t.

MAHER: Excuse me, they live in this…

MATTHEWS: They don't like him.

MAHER: Right.

MATTHEWS: He must be right.

MAHER: Well, you know what, he’s right about, some things he’s a little more reasonable.

MATTHEWS: Evolution he sort of grew up on, alright?

MAHER: Right. Is that where the bar is?

MATTHEWS: Climate change. Calm me crazy.

MAHER: Excuse me, he's in the same bubble. They live in this bubble. These debates, the squabbling which bothers most…

SULLIVAN: This guy worked for Obama.

MAHER: What?

SULLIVAN: Okay, he worked for Obama.

MATTHEWS: Yeah.

SULLIVAN: As his ambassador to China.

MAHER: Oh, so what.

SULLIVAN: You think that's the same bubble as the rest of them?

MAHER: Well, if he says that we are taxed too heavily and that we have too much regulation. I mean our big problem is the economy. If he is on the same page as the others on the big issue, then he's no better. He's up with eight people, he’s getting one percent of the vote. Why not say, “You know what, f--k it, maybe I'll get five percent if I go against the grain and appeal to people who actually think?”

SULLIVAN: I, I agree. He should have had more balls.

MATTHEWS: He went against the grain on climate change. He said call me crazy on that one, and that's religion now with those guys. Look how quick Newt, Mitt Romney flipped on that one last week.

SULLIVAN: Also gays. He supported civil unions as governor of Utah.

MATTHEWS: I think you’re wrong on this one, Bill.

 

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Notice how it seemed Maher didn't know that Huntsman was Obama's ambassador to China?

As we have chronicled at NewsBusters for years, Maher often has absolutely no clue concerning what he's talking about.

Is it possible he didn't know Huntsman was part of the Obama administration?

More importantly, does Maher know anything about the GOP candidate most mainstream media members adore given his liberal positions on a number of key issues, or does Maher at this point hold Republicans in so low esteem that he hates anyone with an "R" next to his name regardless of his views? 

And imagine being corrected about a Republican on your own show by Chris Matthews, one of the most liberal hosts on television. That speaks volumes about just how biased Maher is at this point when it comes to conservatives.

Maybe he should take more than two months off and do some studying so that he'll appear more knowledgeable when he returns to the airwaves in January.

Just saying.

Just one more reason to "defund" HBO.

Submitted by Mike Bratton on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 12:52pm.

Cable and satellite providers have tried to give me free HBO as an incentive, an offer I'm sure they've made to most people.

My response is always the same--I wouldn't dream of purchasing that drivel because I don't want people like Maher spewing their bile in my home, not because it's supposedly too expensive.  Even if it's free, I'll refuse it.

Do the same, and Maher can have a much longer vacation.

Has that boycott strategy ever worked?

I've heard a lot of calls in my life to boycott major corporations. Never once have I seen any of them actually work. They just go on and on..Anyone got an example where boycott actually works?

The problem with boycotts is.

Submitted by Bobbygn on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 1:28pm.

When ever there is a call to boycott either a movie, a book or some idiot like Bill Maher it never works. For every 100 that actually boycott him 1000 will tune in to see what he is all about because of the publicity.

Submitted by ThePickle on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 1:30pm.

Now I realize that this isn't an example of a successful major corp boycott but I would have to say that the boycott of the Dixie Chicks could be described as a success.

Country music fans that boycotted the Dixie Chicks for their inflammatory rhetoric and were successful as it resulted in stations refusing to play the Dixie Chicks as the listeners threatened to boycott those that continued.

This resulted in the DC's career careening out of control and eventually straight down the tubes. Oh they got an MSM and Liberal "atta boy" with a Grammy but much like Obamas "Nobel Prize" it was more in approval of the Content rather than talent.

BTW Jesse Jackson "shakedown" ...... I mean threatened boycott of Budweiser resulted in his son getting a distributorship so I would think Jesse thought it was successful.

They gave it to me free once and I watched BM, then saw some of the porn they spew right after some blockbuster movie and if you leave the room after a movie for a little while and leave the TV on you may come back to porn.

So I said they could cancel the service and told them it was overpriced.

Maybe time off?

Submitted by jon_torlin on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 12:52pm.

NS, you suggest he takes a couple of months off to do some studying?

The child could have all the information downloaded into his brain and he would STILL screw that up.  Best visual imagery I can think of for that is when Data downloaded all his information into B4 thinking it'll make him better and B4 was still like the village idiot, in that last TNG movie (which was horrible) called Nemesis.

And that's what Maher basically is at this point, he's the village idiot, after all, they still have to coerce people into sitting into the audience for his dreck of a show.  Seems like anytime you guys put something on about him, it's worse than the last about how bad he is.

He could just go away and the world would be better off for it.

Submitted by Alpha Tango on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 1:09pm.

I had no idea that Bill Maher was queer but I am not surprised. He he just outed himself. If a man would allow another man to suck his d*ck, he is a homosexual. So all this about Maher hanging out at the playboy mansion was intended to make everyone think he was straight. What a fraud!

Submitted by Newsbubba on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 2:03pm.

I've got a feeling that Maher is so hard up (no pun intended) that he will take anything he can get that might resemble sex of any kind.

I'm not sure that a fairly attractive goat or camel (or an ugly one, for that matter) would be safe around this slim bag.

Do we really get 2 months off from Maher?  That's great!  I'll bet Noel is the happiest man of all, not having to watch the idiot and report on him to the rest of us who are spared the chore.

I (for one) applaud their efforts. Furthermore I believe we should all strenuously encourage these good folks to keep up the good work they are doing! Never before have they been so far out of the proverbial Bias Closet. Their future fortunes will be dictated in direct proportion to their current exposure to the light of truth. Many thanks to Mr. Sheppard and Newsbusters for shining that light.

My fondest wish is that Mr. Maher and his ilk get EXACTLY what they deserve. No more, no less.

Lenny was making an important point about censorship with his comedy routines.(they sound so tame to our ears today!)
