The Hollywood dudes driving big limos to the GW summitReally? Is this all I do?
please link and quote so you don't look so silly all the time. Thanks. impdaddy:
If they were both employed by the same company, and Imus got fired, but Bill didn't. Then that'd be a fairer accusation IMO. But it was his company that fired him (I don't even think he should've been fired myself). Bill works for a totally different employer. It's an example of a company being hyper-sensitive out of fear of losing ratings (just like Viacom with South Park), not real "hypocrisy".Hmm... I didn't take that response to mean it was invalide because of Imus - I understood it to mean Imus was fired yet Maher is not due to an understanding or MIS-understanding of the comedy I guess. More appropriately it's showing a underlying comment of bias and not suggesting invalidity as in a tu quoque.

The Obama "nuclear option"
Bush and Hurricane Katrina vs. Obama and the oil spill
Imus (seriously, who remembers Imus) getting fired over "racist comment" vs. Bill Maher
etc

I would love to hear the punchline.
you already know it
the punch line is people thinking it actually means something
So, by that logic, Maher could call Obama a nigger and it still wouldn't mean anything?
The punch line would be that you know the meaning of that word.

When people say "by that logic," what they really mean is "let me extrapolate what you said to a ridiculous conclusion and show it as evidence of an opinion you don't actually hold."
edit for an example:
apdst: Your info says "very conservative," so I'll assume that you, generally speaking, prefer "smaller government." Since you prefer smaller government, obviously you would LOVE to have NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL. Total anarchy. Like the wild west or central Africa. You would support dissolution of the United States of America as a governing entity. Why do you hate America?
That would make me an anarchist vice a conservative. See how your post makes no sense at all? Great attempt at twisting my meaning, though. Thank you.

During the election in 2007 I heard that term all the time from reporters and the like - it's use is quite common though I was taught that it was offensive and I've never used it.
This is literally the dumbest thread I've ever seen. Do you people not watch Leno or Letterman? It's a monologue. He's telling jokes. Jesus Christ.
