Again HBO will not fire him,, And Wheres the Womens groups like N.O.W protesting? Now what if someone on Fox News says that about Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi? Youll have N.O.W protesting and demand someone get fired.

I must say that his hosts were a lot more graphic than he was today. . .all together, the point went across very well.
After years of Rush, Beck, Bachmann, Palin, Savage et al repeating racists, anti-feminist, anti-liberal, and anti American rants over and over on a daily basis, the loyal righties follow along like lemmings on their way to the sea. Yes, I can see them pointing out Maher's observations as some kind of bigotry. After all, their ability to actually know what is offensive is probably just a guess anyway since they have shown no talent in pointing it out in the past.
I don't see why everyone is all up in arms about the issue that Bachmann takes farm subsidies...
If she wants to compete, she basically has to, it is not like her competitors won't take them if she doesn't. The whole system basically ensures that you will take them.
Additionally, it is not really all that hypocritical to argue something should be ended, but partake in it. After all, I want lower taxes, am I a hypocrite because a pay the legal rate required? No.

You mean, you really want even lower taxes???
Okay, I give up! I think maybe there should be an experiment in the US.
Let's have about 3 States that pays much lower federal taxes, but gets NOTHING in Federal funding. . .and let's see how "satisfactory" it is to everyone living there!
By the way, that would mean EVERYTHING would be on private funding. . including EVERY road, every bridge, every school. . .and. . .if there is a catastrophy like a hurricane or a earthquake. . . no Fema!
because she will not vote to take those funds away as well...she does not want a even playing field...she wants to cut spending for everyone...but not the ones she profits from ( or her district)
And as for lower taxes...its time Republicans lived in the real world...and stop pretending you can be for lower taxes and getting rid of the debt...and expect both to ever happen...
spending can be cut, but cut spending as much as needed to fill in the gap and just balance a budget..let alone pay some down...would require cuts the Dems and American people would never support. Bush lowered taxes, Obama lowered taxes...thats 10 years of spending with less and less taxes...at some point Reality has to hit....of course Republicans waited for someone else to be in charge before half of it hit..
the tax rate is lower then at any point in recent history...
the rich have so many loopholes they pay a lower percent then the middle class in real taxes ( not rate stated they should pay)...when will it be low enough?
