The same Barack Obama who was outspoken when drawing a defensive perimeter around his wife and his children had no hesitation whatsoever about accepting a million dollars and an endorsement from Bill Maher, the repulsive misogynist who called Sarah Palin a “dumb twat” and a “cunt.” Didn’t Maher say “there’s just no other word for her”? Didn’t Bill Maher describe Mrs. Palin as the “leader of a strange family of inbred weirdoes”? Hadn’t Bill Maher fantasized about Mrs. Palin watching a Rick Perry appearance and saying, “If only he was black, I’d fuck him”? Hadn’t Bill Maher smeared Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol with the disgusting wisecrack that “the shit doesn’t fall far from the bat”? Hadn’t Bill Maher compared sweet Laura Bush, a wife, mother and former teacher, to “Hitler’s dog”? There was not a peep of criticism from Barack Obama who was thrilled that this creep had greased him with one million bucks to fuel Obama’s record-breaking push to air the most negative attack ads in American history. If Bill Maher had been calling Obama’s secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, a twat or a cunt, would Barack have said something? Would Mr. Obama have raised his voice if Bill Maher had called Obama’s daughters “shit” or “inbred weirdoes”? Of course he would and it’s the only thing you would have heard from the liberal media – everything else would have been pushed into the shadows. Even the completely silent National Organization for Women would have found its voice. Most recently Bill Maher disparaged Ann Romney, the wife of Obama’s presidential rival, declaring that the mother of Mitt Romney’s five sons and the woman who struggles with multiple sclerosis, in Maher’s words, “has never gotten her ass out of the house to work.” Barack Obama’s response: total silence, even though Bill Maher is clearly a big-bucks benefactor and a vocal surrogate for Barack Obama. The shabby defense from Team Obama is that Bill Maher is “just a comedian.” weirdrepublic.com

>> Oh stop it...will you? Please... What? You think we're immune? We've got a president RIGHT NOW who is threatening to use executive power to take away the weapons in a country. The idea of a fascist America isn't out of the realm of possibility. More importantly, if this attack on guns is permitted, it will only detract from getting to the heart of the problem, which is the people who are using the guns. As previously pointed out, within a couple years it will be possible, even EASY, to print off functioning guns from downloaded specs at the rate of one every few hours -- with a $2,000 piece of equipment. It is ridiculous to think any kind of "controls" will affect in the slightest the availability of such weapons. Within five years it will be trivial to print off an AR-15.
