In reply to the discussion: Rush Limbaugh Advertiser Exodus Continues as 22 Companies Pull Ads [View all]cosmicone
(11,014 posts)47. I too wanted to set Truthczar straight
It has been a repuke meme spread nefariously that somehow Maher calling Palin the C word is equivalent to Rush Limpballs vitriol.
1. Sarah Palin is a public figure and not a private citizen like Fluke. When one becomes a public figure, one allows all sorts of criticisms and attacks,
2. Bill Maher is a comedian and not a political commentator/self-proclaimed leader of the repukes, and,
3. Bill Maher's comments were on a restricted cable channel only seen by subscribers and rated for adults only.
Hopefully he can still read the responses even though we can't see him responding like a mime.

Palin destroyed herself. Her gimmick became transparent to all. Except you apparently.

I do believe that Schultz was reprimanded for it and had to issue an apology
