Maher: 'If Gingrich Was Any More of an A--hole Santorum Would Have to Pray for Strength Not to F--k Him'

You have to wonder whether HBO's Bill Maher is losing his mind, trying to draw attention to boost ratings, or really believes he can say anything he wants about conservatives and liberals will support him.

After ridiculing Alabama and Mississippi voters Tuesday as being "toothless," Maher took to Twitter with an even far more vile comment about Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum (serious vulgarity warning):


This came a few hours after he tweeted "Toothless Tuesday too tight to tally! We're gathered around the magic picture box with a bowl of grits watching the returns come in!" and shortly after Politico reported that Obama right-hand man David Axelrod had cancelled his appearance on Maher's show.

So, is Maher losing his mind, pining for attention, or just making it clear that he can say whatever he wants about conservatives and for the most part get away with it?

Or maybe there's a fourth alternative?

Could he be trying to force Obama to get his Super PAC to return his million dollars?

This way he would have accomplished what he wanted by making the donation - goading other wealthy Hollywoodans to contribute to Obama - whilst not having to drain his own bank account.

Even better, having been made the martyr, this would attract even more attention to him and his pathetic HBO program.

No matter what, he wins. Think about it.

Let Maher rant -- he's this year's Rev. Wright

Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 10:32am.

The more he rants, the more gasoline he pours on this artificial Limbaugh outrage. Many Dems want to let it rest before it gets overplayed, but it's probably too late.

Maher's $1 million contribution of Obama's Super PAC will come back to haunt him.

Obama's people now realize that Maher's "gift" may cost them more in the long run, and they're starting to distance themselves. Check this out --

http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/03/axelrod-bails-on-bill-maher-...

So, GOP and affiliate Super PACs need to go through their archives of Maher's shows and retrieve the clips of appearances by prominent Dems, feminists, etc. for this summer's Big Mud Pie Fight.

NOW president Terry O'Neill

Submitted by lesterwink23 on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 8:57am.

NOW president Terry O'Neill said that she does not think Maher's Super PAC donation should be returned because "Obama needs to be re-elected, and he needs the money". Combine this with his tweets from last night and you have the perfect summation of the liberal mindset: unhinged hatred bordering on psychosis and blatant hypocrisy.

I don't know of any straight man as consumed with images of gay sex as Maher. He needs to just come out of the closet already and deal with it.

Better yet . . .

Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 12:32pm.

. . . it ought to be pointed out that just like Maher suggests that conservative women should be violently raped, he suggests that Santorum and Gingrich hurt each other via a common homosexual act.

So, according to Maher, conservative women are whores, and conservative men are . . . well . . . they're gay.

Will any gay activists speak out? I'm not holding my breath, but at least it's yet one more bit of ammo.

The more Maher opens his mouth, the more the Dems will cringe.

A GOP Super PAC ought to string sound-censored clips of Maher's rants (including the audience laughter), as it scrolls the names of Democrats and MSMers who've appeared on his programs, and ask why they haven't spoken out.

liberals and gays

Submitted by Schofield Kid on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 5:21pm.

Isn't it funny how liberals are all about gay rights, gay marriage and acceptance of all things homosexual, transexual etc., but they are the ones constantly using accusations of being gay to demean conservatives. If there's not anything wrong with it (to paraphrase Jerry and George) why are they always using it in a way meant to degrade others?

How true

Submitted by TempusFugit on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 6:57pm.

I once knew a man who professed hatred of gays but always talked about them, invented a gay alter ego, wasn't married and never was seen with women. Except for the gay alter ego that's Maher in a nutshell. As the saying goes "so far back in the closet they're finding snowboots".

Absolutely cancel HBO

Submitted by PJRyan on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 11:10am.

I haven't read any misogynistic rants from the a-hole since Obama's problem with the $1M came up. Governor Palin should tee off on him. And Bachmann, and Ingraham. Just light him up. He can't fight back because the entirety of his "comic" repertoire is vulgarity and name-calling, and he would really screw Obama with any of his misogyny right now.

Tear into him, ladies. And do me a personal favor and ask Soledad, Mika, Pelosi, WSchultz, Maddow, Couric, ABC-blonde, and the fired Sunday morning ABC woman where there support is on this matter.

Bill Maher - childhood games

Submitted by djm159 on Wed, 03/14/2012 - 11:43am.

You've heard the old childhood sayings "takes one to know one?" "Foxy finder smells his own hinder." and the ever popular "he who smelled it usually dealt it?" Exchange the word Gingrich with Obama, and Santorum with Maher and you got it right. Case closed - next case. It appears the defacto heads of the democrat party are Bill Maher, Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, coupled with the idiot Wasserman Schultz and plastic face Pelosi. I personally am proud to have rush as the "defacto head of the GOP." Of course, a pig and rats would be a step up from the democrat congregation.

Given Maher's Elite Status as a 1000K Club Benefactor, I think the Machine should utilize these nuggets of political wisdom. They certainly make for pithy soundbites... (warning: Democrat civility follows)

"If Gingrich was any more of an asshole, Santorum would have to pray for strength not to fuck him!" (Cue laugh track)

...I think he's much more valuable spouting off his manure mouth, because eventually he's gonna say something so bad, Obama will never be able to shake it. If the campaign of the eventual Repbulican nominee can't hang Maher around Obama's neck, then they'll be just as inept as the McCain campaign
