Bill Maher Jokes About Mitt Romney Paying a Bum for Gay Sex
Vulgarian comedian Bill Maher on Thursday made a joke about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney paying a bum for gay sex.
This occurred inside a prominently featured article at the Huffington Post about Wednesday's debate in Arizona (vulgarity warning):
And isn't a highlight of every debate when Mitt Romney takes umbrage at being accused of the best thing he ever did in his life -- Romneycare? Something he should be proud of? Last night he took out his dueling glove and declared that when he was governor, he made sure there was NO requirement from the church to provide morning after pills for rape victims. They will be punished with a baby, as Jesus would want. Mitt's attitude is always, "How dare you accuse me of helping people or being compassionate! Why, I'll have you know I'm every bit as much of a cold hearted bastard as any of these other pricks up here with me!"
"But Mitt, we have a picture of you giving money to a homeless person."
"I did NOT give a bum money! I was paying him to blow me!"
Hysterical.
Adding insult to injury, at press time this was the "featured blog post" at HuffPo's front page as well as getting additional promotion in the articles section to the right:
Complicating matters further, a little less than a year ago, conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart was banished from the Post's front page for what a spokesman called a "false ad hominem attack on Van Jones in The Daily Caller."
This supposedly violated the "tenets of debate and civil discourse" the Post strives for.
Days later I reached out to much of the top brass at the Post - including Arianna Huffington herself - to find out if this rule would now apply to Maher:
Ms. Huffington and Mr. Sekoff:
Noel Sheppard here from NewsBusters. I'm wondering if Bill Maher calling former Alaska governor Sarah Palin a "twat" and a "cunt" violates the Huffington Post's "tenets of debate and civil discourse" that Mario Ruiz noted in his statement concerning Andrew Breitbart's banning from your front page.
One would think such vulgar slurs are far worse than anything Breitbart said to the Daily Caller concerning Van Jones.
Is Maher going to be banned from your front page? When are you planning on notifying your readers of this decision, and if not, why not?

Not surprisingly, I never heard anything back. However, until recently, Maher hadn't been seen at the Post.
Now he's prominently featured on the front page making jokes about a presidential candidate paying a bum for gay sex.
Imagine that. A liberal publication with a double standard.
Somebody pinch me.

With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight.

Why doesn't Bill Maher do some jokes about Obummer and the down low club run by Jeremiah Wright? I heard he had a good time with Larry Sinclair in the back of a limo and met on the down low with Rahm Emanuel on a regular basis. Time to out the queer illegally squatting in the oval office.
The sad thing is, Maher used to be funny.

But then, he developed the perception that His Opinion Mattered.
And it was straight into the tank from there.
Bill, Obama does have a "history of practicing infanticide." Never met a partial-birth-abortion bill he didn't like. Clears the tracks for Planned Parenthood as President. But, of course, it's easier to mock a fact than to discuss it.

Ever notice how libs will use homosexuality as some sort of enlightenment or benefit when its someone on their side but will use homosexuality as a slur or something grotesque when its a conservative? Kinda like that pic up at the top...libs would have a fit if a conservative "comedian" would have portrayed a white liberal figure with an afro and ebonics in a picture but somehow, its "humor" to do so with a conservative.

That's one reason it's so sick and vile - the way it's used.

Maher certainly has a preoccupation with Republican candidates and homosexuality. Actually he have man crushes on both Mitt and Rick and just can't help himself anymore. For the life of me, I really can't figure out why people even listen to Maher? He never was very funny and lowers the IQ level of anyone that listens to him by 50 points. I hardly ever agree with Jon Stewart, but he is at least funny at times. Maher is just repulsive.

Most conservatives I know, if they have any objection to it, hold it on religious grounds and then just leave it alone - NOT INSULTING people on those grounds.
Personally, I don't care. I think if you are lucky enough to have someone love you through life, you're lucky enough. Who cares about plumbing? That DOESN'T mean I believe in codifying that union with the WORD "marriage" however. Call it ANYTHING ELSE, but not that. SAME THING ALL WAY.. but NOT the word. That's where I am. Two of the loveliest people I know are the two dads to a little friend of my twins. My kids know their friend is loved and their dads are good men. That's my house.
AND THAT'S call HATE.
Meanwhile, ding-dong here and the rest of his liberal buddies use homosexuality like a bludgeon and as an INSULT and THEY GET A FREE PASS.
This makes NO SENSE TO ME.

Why would Maher need to dream? He has plenty of money and plenty of time. I'm pretty sure it's an order (and probably an orifice or two, as well) that he's had filled plenty of times.

I don't believe Maher has any children, as prostitues usually require condoms.
