What about all the times Maher slammed and insulted Limbaugh on his show? DutchLiberal Mar 2012 #81

The difference: Limbaugh is not a comedian. He is the mouthpiece of the Republican party Lint Head Mar 2012 #13

Bill Maher has stood up for women and their causes more times than I can remember. DutchLiberal Mar 2012 #115

It is not that he attacked Palin. It is how he attacked her. Beacool Mar 2012 #119

But a one-time remark doesn't make a person a sexist or a misogynyst. DutchLiberal Mar 2012 #127
