From the Washington Post:
Bill Maher says liberals are killing comedy
By Hunter Schwarz June 15 at 7:43 AM
Add Bill Maher to the growing list of comedians who think political correctness is bad for comedy — and are making an issue of it.
Maher spoke with comedian Jeff Ross on “Real Time” over the weekend about Jerry Seinfeld, who said last week he doesn’t play at colleges because they’re too PC. Maher suggested the reason was political.
[Jerry Seinfeld hates political correctness. So we ruined 7 Seinfeld episodes by making them PC.]
“I used to fight with this audience all the time, because we used to get the audience strictly from liberal sources, then we got the audience like from everywhere and I’ve had a much better time the last couple of months,” he said.

You can’t kill comedy. Liberals killed some comedy and are a gold mine for other comedy. Many Sailer headlines have me literally laughing out loud. People say that the right doesn’t have a version of the Jon Stewart Daily Show, and they are so wrong. The right has plenty of jokes and humor. Stewart was always more partisan commentary than a true punch line seeking comic.

I’m not too optimistic about this “backlash” to PC. It’s older guys like Bill Maher and Seinfeld, while younger comedians like Schumer and Louie CK are pretty much full SJW.
Guys like Maher and Seinfeld have a voice because they were grandfathered it, becoming famous at a time when it was possible to be an up and coming comedian who wasn’t fully PC. Jay Leno too, Sort of like how Pat Buchanan became famous a long time ago and still gets some MSM attention, while if he was a young writer saying these things he would have never gotten the chance to be influential.
The next generation of comedians will be fully domesticated, and see these complaints about political correctness as nothing but the final grasp of some old white males who were insufficiently sensitive.
They won't get any TV coverage doing certain material...But nowadays there are other ways to reach an audience.
Would certain people get banned from clubs?...It seems like it may end up like the music scene, where black artists say the most outrageously Un-PC things, they just don't do it on their mass-market single...and the entire media pretend not to notice.
It's a strange thing. How do the SJWs select who gets the twitter hate-athon treatment. It's almost random.
At some point there has got to be an open conflict, and some sort of implicit (or explicit) rules will be established for what the mainstream will/won't accept.
“… the audience like from everywhere”
Who has Maher amused in the last decade other than a TV audience lapping up his witless bigotry?
The funniest comedians never have/had to worry about offending anyone. E.g., Brian Regan, Jim Gaffigan, Steven Wright, et al. Humor at the expense of other people? Never funny. If you want to use humor in political or social commentary and satire that’s fine, but it’s not comedy.
As if Bill Maher knew anything about comedy.
Comedy is fascist!
It’s nice to hear Maher say this, even though he’s a nasty purveyor of anti-white/conservative/Christian comedy, which is of course right in line with p.c. Still, he has an independent streak I respect.
I caught that episode by accident. The WaPo author’s headline is click bait and the headline is wrong.
Ross seemed pissed that younger audiences don’t like his act. Ross thinks he’s edgy for the younger generation, but really his act just isn’t very good outside of his roasts. He can insult Justin Bieber well, but he’s got nothing to say.
Maher is still the same shill for political correctness that we all know. He’ll stick his neck out for himself and his buddies, but that’s it.
bill maher would know. he’s been killing comedy for a while now.
Of course the worst part of that episode was the light speed-quick sellout of the nominal ‘conservative’ on the police/race/bikini girl/pool party issue.
On the other hand, PC is the funniest shit around.
It turned every media outlet into the Onion.
Dennis Miller has forgotten more comedy is his last 24 hours than Bill Maher will ever know.
Without a Republican President to bash, the liberals eat their own.
Carlos Mencia referred to GWB as “Great for comedy”
Punching down, you know…
Of course PC audiences suck. They don’t want comedy, they want political jabs and lectures disguised as comedy.
And what’s worse with today’s liberals, is their sensitivity to any and all perceived slights, trigger words, anything even remotely racist, nativist, Western, etc. You really can’t do comedy routines under those restrictions. Because the next thing you know a bunch of them will get together to get you blackballed.
That’s the liberal way, if someone offends you, you do your best to destroy them.
There is some truth to humor in that people don't laugh if something isn't authentically funny, but humor isn't some gold standard of wisdom or insight either.Replies: @International Jew, @TB

Maher seems to have pissed off a lot of the good and the mighty over his insistence that Islam itself has a problem rather than just terrorists.
His show and overall beliefs are still garbage though.

He can insult Justin Bieber well. Who can’t?
Bill Maher is a much more interesting person than intelligent people would think, not for the reasons you would think. I’m not going to say he’s smarter than you’d think because he’s not. He’s interesting because he’s less intelligent than you’d expect a Jewish man who has a weekly one-of-a-kind gig on HBO to be. I mean come on, once a week, on HBO, for a tenth of the show, and those are the best jokes he’s got? Recursively, once or twice a week, making fun of Roman Catholicism for victimizing Roman Catholic children is not the mark of a select wit. But bizarrely going out your way to say you’re not Jewish though people often think you are even though your mother was Jewish, and undylyng lambasting human rights abusers for toe-tiffing stuff like cramping free speech or whatever while often halting guests to affirm the moral rectitude of the babe named ISRAEL, such is certainly the mark of a selectively interesting man. I wonder what specific dynamics crucially contribute to him being so interesting, seriously.
When it comes to current events comedy, he's much better than the smug Jon Stewart / John Oliver types that flatter the views of the mainstream left and ridicule the opposition. Maher isn't afraid of having smart conservatives such as Ann Coulter and Charles Murray on his show.Replies: @Pat Casey, @Unladen Swallow

Just to list a few microagressions/hate crimes in addition to the above:
“Your honor, I did not commit the hate crime of furtively looking at her finger!”
Okay, I guess I will have to assume that all women are lesbians or bisexual.
The “Other” box is on its way.
Actually, divorce or widowed is also frequently listed. Let’s do all 65 (or whatever it is) like they do on Facebook!
Well, it’s better than talking with your hands.
Why is this wrong?
At 3 AM, in Manhattan, you bet.
More likely they are making the assumption that the person is, in fact, lost.

more verbal.” “Speak up more.”
Why is this wrong?"
I kind of see where this is going. Now, I'm reasonably sure that I'm what you would call an introvert. I've been called out as being such, much in the manner described above. In the back of my mind, however, I can't help but wonder if I would be similarly called out if I were 100% white instead of half-Asian. Because of the stereotype of Asians being quiet and introverted obviously.
So, a blind person didn't affirm your statement by nodding, or saying 'yeah', or something and you're not sure he understood you. What do you do? You... speak... slowly.
So, a blind person has not turned towards you when you started to speak to him in a group. Is he 'lending you an ear', as some blind people do by turning the side of their faces to you, or has he not heard you? What do you do? YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE.
Bitching "[I am/ He is] blind, not deaf", is not helpful.Replies: @SPMoore8

Steve, I’d really like to know if many U.C. grads have stopped donating in protest of runaway leftism. Do you have any feel for this? I can’t count myself, since I ended my donations to the library in’86, when they first started charging admission to baseball games.

“Why is this wrong? ” – because you’re supposed to feel guilt over differences, recognizing differences, and so forth. So quit recognizing them and feel guilty about them already.
I never though of Maher being funny. Sarcastic, bombastic and sadistic yes. Funny … no.
Saw one of the latest “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” the one with Steve Harvey. Harvey addressed that issue, said he was forced to apologize for a joke … because the sponsors on his talk show got nervous. Harvey also said two interesting things.
The first was that the offended were really just a very small group of people shouting very loud. They only get amplified by sponsor nervousness about pretty much everything. He disdained Twitter and noted correctly that most Twitter feeds were fake. [Shakira and Lady Gaga had about half to three quarters of their millions of Twitter followers pulled — they were fake followers created by “bots” and presumably paid for by their management.]
The second was that if Harvey was a pure stand up; or a guy starting out; he would not have apologized. As he said, the second a tragedy strikes, they have the jokes. They might not use them right away, but they sure have them.
I think the lack of any network outlet or what have you for aspiring comics, as Fallon/Myers/Kimmel/Stewart don’t feature comics any more, is bad for PC enforcement.
IF a comic is young, aspiring, has no TV show or sponsors, and depends on filling rooms by making people laugh, then said comic has no incentive to toe the PC line and be unfunny. His only career advancement comes from making people laugh. And being shocking. The most shocking thing is to break the taboo PC lines. This was what Michael Richards was trying to do in swatting down his hecklers. It has to be done … FUNNY. But it is essential to shock (a key element of funny) and stand out for a young comic.
As Harvey noted, there is no training, no schools, no barriers to entry to comedy. You either have it or don’t, and if you have it you are bound to offend someone. Harvey ended with a story about an audience at the Apollo Theater, completely brutal in booing both a little girl singing and a comedian who was utterly lame.
[Be sure to catch the Alec Baldwin piece. Baldwin ribs Seinfeld for not trying acting, and being lazy, and does some funny bits. Baldwin’s politics are horrible but he was funny.]
It’s unfortunate that this post has a link to WaPo about Seinfeld hating PC so we ruined seven episodes. I thought “we” included Seinfeld and the reader was to learn how he and his gang wrote the originals much funnier but in the end succumbed to the shackles of PC .
Instead we get these insipid rewrites of what some WaPo guy thinks was derring-do back in its day. Example: It was courageous to imply Christians (Elaine’s boyfriend) believe it’s ok to conspire to steal as long as they’re not the ones doing the actual deed.
Why not a rewrite attributing other predilections to Kramer’s fellow AIDS runners, instead of the pablum we saw about mandated ribbon-wearing? (Instead, Seinfeld’s gang went way out on a limb to legitimize fund raising for victims who were hardly blameless.)
Reminds me of that classic joke.

Maher is and always was as PC as the rest of them.
Are we going to talk about a lot of Jewish comics being the comedy equivalent of Jewish market protection beneficiaries in other fields?
If university audiences are OC, aren’t there other audiences? If comics that would be part of a salon or canon in another time are stuck, and feel angry that they were born too late, aren’t there orher comics? Until TPP ends the internet, we are not stuck in an iteration of the pop cultural centralization that was normal in the mid-twentieth century, which all these guys are looking to as a norm.
Lots of people say that removing a white man’s image from US currency, and replacing it with that of Harriet Tubman, is a bad idea. Personally, I think replacing Abe Lincoln with Harriet Tubman on the $5 bill is a wonderful idea. I’m all for it. And if you’re wondering if I’m being sarcastic, the answer is no.
I would, however, oppose replacing anyone but Lincoln. I am absolutely opposed to replacing Andrew Jackson’s image with Tubman’s. But replacing Lincoln’s image with Tubman’s, I’m all for that.
So, if someone wants to replace Jackson with Emily Dickinson, or Edith Wharton, or Willa Cather, I'm all for it.Not Tubman, though.That would just be replacing one political figure with another.
If you think commedians have a problem consider the plight of anyone who makes serious assertions about, e.g., across-race differences in average intelligence, impulse control, crime rates, etc.; the insanity of the soi disant transgendered; the probability that homosexuality may be the sequelae of some infection; a credible immigration control policy for this country; the realtively minor mpact of humans on climate change; the role that real sex differences make in determining an individual’s choice of a STEM field…. The list is endless of subjects where a pervasive and stultifying miasma of SJW attacks has reduced acceptable public discourse in this country to an insane pablum of nonsense.

I like these comedy stories if only for the inevitable and ridiculous smears against old OnA comics like CK and Schumer as being more fully domesticated and PC than Seinfeld (been doing the same act for 20 years) and Leno (lol).

Mahr is a pundit. He hasn’t been a comedian in years. All the major “comedians” are pundits or whore madams for their guests. A generation has grown up with Jon Stewart, Colbert, etc, actively and aggressively engaged in punditry under the guise of being comedians.
Even George Carlin wasn’t doing comedy in his last decade. It was always a glorified TED talk. He might as well have been a professor at a state college.
Jeff Ross’ comedy is for, and by, a select few: mean, bitter, out of work comedians. He just writes down what he hears the comics muttering while waiting to go on at the Comedy Store Belly Room, and uses it for his next “comedy” roast. I guess it’s funny for people who have never been personally confronted during an introductory EST meeting.
Why shouldn’t it spill out into comedy clubs, full of mostly young people trained by these semi-comedic terrified middle-aged self-hating wastoids?
Bill Mahr, you can’t take repeated, massive dumps in your pants, and then complain that the proverbial room stinks. If you want the stink to dissipate, you really need to… leave the room.
Many lesser so called comics are just angry ranters with no trace of humor. Joe Rogan comes to mind.
I love Brian Regan. The guy is a sort of genius, who should be as famous as Jerry Seinfeld. The late-great Mitch Hedburg is another example of a brilliant apolitical comic. I’d take one Brian Regan or Mitch Hedberg over a thousand Bill Hickses.
OT, but now diversity is hitting Fargo, ND. There have been a series of news stories about two immigrant street gangs going at one another in Fargo.

No barriers to entry is so true. by xgfs older bro I know there are even classes you can take for free that end you up on stage with an audience in DC area. Curious about thoughts on Woody…none I know of matched delivery so exactly to joke, I think he was the best ever—look up the moose joke if you don’t know. But then he became the artist, he became an effin CYNOSURE to ny indie film aspirants. What have we got out of it? The stereotype of an artist as a neurotic (wimpy) genius. This was easy cause seemingly undergirded once bios of T.S. Eliot started coming out. Hence most high art nowadays is done by self-involved depressives. Charlie Kauffman. Except there is a big, yes very big difference between depressives and manic-depressives, and if you haven’t read K. Jamison’s Touched by Fire, nothing should come first. There are no more inspiring bohemias, cause depressives have prozac and don’t do hanging out good, and manic depressives are hugely stigmatized. You will notice that some ethnicity basically doesn’t know manic-depression, and alllll of this somehow winds you back up at: mormons.
I just always tell them the truth: Norm Macdonald is ten times funnier than Stewart or Maher. He is also what they pretend to be – the opposite of PC. Stewart has admitted to copying Weekend Update when Norm hosted it, too.
Kinda like how Karl Rove’s biggest accomplishment was outliving Lee Atwater.
Maher, the big environmentalist, is silent on third-world population growth and third-world immigration into the West. But then he also flies first class. In other words, he’s a fucking hypocrite.
Yes. Reminds me when I was little and Frank Sinatra was complaining about the state of traditional values (or lack thereof) in America. People like Sinatra then and Maher today “started the fire” now their mad they’re getting burned.

There seems to be a lot of mainstream news stories online about how the case of trans-racialism in Spokane is in no way comparable to the Bruce Jenner case of trans-genderism. I skim read a few and they seem to be unable to explain why.
I was thinking too that former Toronto mayor Rob Ford might be another case of trans-racialism. One of the videos showed him jabbering in Jamaican patois in an all night sandwich shop. World Star Hip Hip embraced him as one of their own.
robin williams was able to make fun of “some white dude” and some black dude” and get laughs from all age groups, i think.
Steve’s writing leaves me in stitches routinely. I also think Gavin McInnes is pretty funny. Mark Steyn brought me to tears with his ‘unless China wants to be the first gay super power since Sparta, they’d better fix their gender ratio’
Whatever you want to say about this or that comic, PC is a scythe mowing down any sprout of humor.
Sex itself, and all the machination man–and woman–goes through to achieve it, is the prime source of humor.
Homosexuals–who don’t know what their equipment is for … are obviously funny (along with whatever other emotions they evoke–disgust, etc.)
Now we’re so far gone we have a former Olympic champion who thinks he’s a girl … pretty much comedy gold and … the comics are not supposed to skewer him. And worse, the TV guys–are *not*–skewering him.
And even worse in some sense, no one seems to even mind, or even note, this Stalinist self-policing.

If the situation in Fargo is anything like here in Sioux Falls, they're from Somalia for the most part, as well a whole host of other sub-Saharan countries ie., the Congo, Kenya, etc. They make up about two percent of the local population, and commit 90 percent of the armed robberies.

He’s never been better on current events comedy than John Stewart, not hardly. Particularly considering Maher has an entire week to think up half as many jokes as Stewart relays four days per week. Maher is six years older than Stuart, born in 56, which by something like Steve’s logic re the Six Day War, that should make Stuart about six doses more pro-Israel than Maher. But he’s consistently been the only person on television who makes fun of Israeli aggression. Plus, for the past seven years he’s been on the wagon, with this Obama fellow ensconced. Let no one forget how hysterical John Stewart was at his height during the Bush debacle, truly. Definitely he’s been running on empty for the past three years or so though. I’ll refer you to Steve’s earned right to say as he sometimes does that he’s good at figuring out how the world works, I’ll refer you to that and take it as cover and say I’m pretty good at figuring who is afraid and who is not. They have totally different formats, and structure is function. Stewart is not afraid to entertain anyone’s ideas, its a matter of time, and the fact that you can’t disagree with someone for the last five minutes of your comedy show. Recall when Stewart went on crossfire and said to the dumbfounded hacks “I think you are what is wrong with television.” Maher is less afraid than most in the media for sure, but watch his satellite interview of the fearless Michael Scheur and tell me he don’t look a lil timorous. (Then, for education, watch Scheur tell that kangaroo committee in congress that NO, he ran operations for the CIA.) Granted I’m bias. Stewart went to my alma mater and was in my frat. Funny though how these things perdure, and Pikes ain’t never pussies ;/
Guys like Maher and Seinfeld have a voice because they were grandfathered it, becoming famous at a time when it was possible to be an up and coming comedian who wasn't fully PC. Jay Leno too, Sort of like how Pat Buchanan became famous a long time ago and still gets some MSM attention, while if he was a young writer saying these things he would have never gotten the chance to be influential.
The next generation of comedians will be fully domesticated, and see these complaints about political correctness as nothing but the final grasp of some old white males who were insufficiently sensitive.Replies: @james wilson, @Anonitron, @Sam Haysom, @Anonymous
I’m not so sure. Basically I think there has been a bifurcation at work. One stream- the PC stream ruthlessly enforces PC. There is another stream exemplified by Antony Jeselnik and Daniel Tosh that is joyfully anti-PC if basically still liberal in outlook. Seinfeld’s problem is that by not being a anti-PC comic he gets lumped in with the PC comics and judged by their standards.
I saw Tosh live in Reno…he’s trending PC faster than you think…he gets his paycheck signed by the same guy that signs Steward’s..it’s showing..

You say white males…. Does anyone know what’s happening on the black comedy circuit? I just can’t see blacks caving to this sort of PC policing.
They won’t get any TV coverage doing certain material…But nowadays there are other ways to reach an audience.
Would certain people get banned from clubs?…It seems like it may end up like the music scene, where black artists say the most outrageously Un-PC things, they just don’t do it on their mass-market single…and the entire media pretend not to notice.
It’s a strange thing. How do the SJWs select who gets the twitter hate-athon treatment. It’s almost random.
At some point there has got to be an open conflict, and some sort of implicit (or explicit) rules will be established for what the mainstream will/won’t accept.
“OT:
There seems to be a lot of mainstream news stories online about how the case of trans-racialism in Spokane is in no way comparable to the Bruce Jenner case of trans-genderism. I skim read a few and they seem to be unable to explain why.”
I tell Left Tards at The Huffington Post, Slate, Mother Jones, and Salon that Lady Boys/World War Ts are gender frauds because they claim to be “women” yet none of them are capable of becoming pregnant and none of them are capable of getting periods. I also told them that Lady Boys/World War Ts are more like to get prostate cancer than they are to get breast cancer.
In the future, maybe all comedy will be unintentional (Bruce Jenner, etc.), and we’ll just have to do our laughing in private out of reach of the thought police.
If Caitlyn Jenner or RuPaul were to get prostate cancer, how would the Left Wing Megaphone explain this? After all they have been trying to brainwash the American masses into believing that Trans are just as biologically female as Cisgendered women.
Funny you mentioned the late Mitch Hedberg. He was original third pick when commenting and the reason I used had/have. I then thought of Steven Wright who has the same kind of quirky humor and plugged his name in.

For me Maher and Seinfeld are not funny as in, “Never made me laugh”. Larry David with Curb Your Enthusiasm, this show has it moments. Here is one non-politically correct scene where Larry is imitating a retarded guy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I05zVj7gxyU
Larry David was the producer of the Seinfeld show and made a few hundred million from that.
Yeah, no I don’t find any of the aforementioned funny. But I do retract my statement. I think the most hilarious guy out around, while not a comedian per se, is Michael Savage. Some of his comments, which are targeted at groups and individuals, have me in tears. He is so quick and has the ability to phrase things in the funniest way. I don’t think I’m alone here because he is number one in the ratings.
When it comes to current events comedy, he's much better than the smug Jon Stewart / John Oliver types that flatter the views of the mainstream left and ridicule the opposition. Maher isn't afraid of having smart conservatives such as Ann Coulter and Charles Murray on his show.Replies: @Pat Casey, @Unladen Swallow
He and Sam Harris came down pretty hard on the religious zealotry of Islam in general, only to be to be denounced by Ben Affleck as they were doing it. Ben Affleck went to the you are stereotyping Muslims as fanatics is the same as saying blacks commit more crimes. Of course being good PC intimidated liberals, Maher and Harris didn’t point that that was factually accurate, and therefore Ben’s perception that he made a killer counterargument was dead wrong. Ben was of course smugly sure of himself when he made the argument and increasingly angry and shrill at Bill and Sam for not taking the bait, which of course is all that PC intimidated people can do. They know it’s nonsense, but they can’t say that, because then the argument becomes that they are racist, awful, horrible, human beings and then everyone ignores the argument about Islam and focuses the elephant in the living room reality of black crime.

I can’t remember a single thing I ever heard Bill Maher said that was funny. Not one.
True. My liberal friend once told me about the theory that Ann Coulter is actually a man, which he thought was hilarious. I told him that there’s also a theory that Michelle Obama is a man and he didn’t find anything amusing about that.
Next time, ask your friend if he was a quarterback, and had only two choices, which "man" would he choose to be his half-back, and why?
“True. My liberal friend once told me about the theory that Ann Coulter is actually a man, which he thought was hilarious. I told him that there’s also a theory that Michelle Obama is a man and he didn’t find anything amusing about that.”
It is considered racist to compare an ugly Black woman to a man, but it is not considered racist to compare an ugly White woman to a man. Those are the double standards of the left wing Megaphone.
Actually on second thought it is considered discrimination to compare an ugly White woman to a man if she is a Lesbian, but it is still okay to compare an ugly White woman to a man if she is Heterosexual.
My thoughts exactly. I’ve never found him to be very funny outside of the occasional joke. I wonder what he considers to be politically correct, from what I can tell he is an enforcer of political correctness.
There’s a theory that Barack Obama is really a man,I ain’t buyin’ that.

“To an Asian, Latino or Native American: “Why are
you so quiet? We want to know what you think. Be
more verbal.” “Speak up more.”
Why is this wrong?”
I kind of see where this is going. Now, I’m reasonably sure that I’m what you would call an introvert. I’ve been called out as being such, much in the manner described above. In the back of my mind, however, I can’t help but wonder if I would be similarly called out if I were 100% white instead of half-Asian. Because of the stereotype of Asians being quiet and introverted obviously.
The killing of comedy by the obligation of avoiding hurting anyone’s fillings has been predicted at least since Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 in 1953, but it’s a wrong prediction, it will always be allowed to punch up at whites, christians, republicans, red necks, blondes and southerners even after the last ones will be rounded up and confined in ghettos and gulags.
“Maher is and always was as PC as the rest of them.”
Bill Maher is not as PC as the rest of them. Bill Maher has been very vocal about saying that Islam is by far the most violent religion in the world by a landslide. Do you know of any other Liberals who are willing to admit that? Liberals always says that Christianity is just as violent if not more violent than Islam and than they use examples of Christians bombing abortion clinics yet the death count for abortion clinic bombings is nowhere near as high as the death count committed by Islamic terrorism. For some reason a lot of Liberals like to paint the Oklahoma City bombing as an example of Christian terrorism even though there is absolutely zero evidence that Timothy McVeigh blew up that building because he believed God or Jesus Christ told him to do it.
At least Bill Maher as an Atheist is not a hypocrite. He has bashed all religions while the vast majority of Left Wing Atheists only bash Christianity because they are too politically correct to bash Islam and other Non Western religions. Most of the Atheist community is really just anti-Christianity more so than they are anti-religion in general.
You also never see Liberal Atheists bash crazy superstitious Negro religions like voodoo for example.
This is why I have an extreme hatred for most Atheists, because most of them are politically correct social justice warriors.
Wow, I must be the only one here who really likes Maher and his show. I watch it every week, though I tend to fast forward a lot and so it takes me 20 minutes to watch the hour.
Aside from thinking he’s funny, he is also extremely valuable in that he shows mainstream TV audiences that you can get away with being extremely anti-Islam, legitimizing the viewpoint by being a glamorous celebrity TV host with views that most of the left would call extremely racist.
He’s also very anti-war, and his frequent discussion of how bad the opinions of the majority of Muslims are is an important premise for opposition to invite the world. He makes the frequent point that “the problem isn’t radical Islam, the problem is just Islam.”
On top of that, he’s nearly unique in having on HBD intellectuals regularly, especially Charles Murray, but also Amy Chua.
Maher also frequently defended Donald Sterling during that scandal, and this week defended him again.
Any of these schnooks coming to the defense of a certain French Cameroonian comedian who is regularly censored and harassed by the French government? I don’t think so.
Search on French Cameroonian comedian to find out who.
Back in the day, nobody came to the defense of Andrew Dice Clay either, but that was a long time ago.
Libbies aren’t so much killing comedy as making it superfluous.

There are rumors that Daniel Tosh is a closet Homosexual. His Nndb.com page does not even list him as being Straight and they tend to do a very good job of listing Heterosexual celebrities as being Straight. If you go to the Nndb.com profile pages of Kurt Russell or Adam Sandler for example, they will be listed as Straight under sexual orientation.
I would not be surprised if the rumors are true because a lot of Daniel Tosh skits involve him doing some extremely Gay shit with other guys.

“Bill Maher is a PC enforcer.”
That is extremely false because he is not politically correct 100 percent of the time. His views on Islam are definitely not popular with his Left Wing Manhattan and Malibu buddies.
Just because Bill Maher is a dirty Joo in the eyes of many iSteve readers like yourself, it does not mean he is wrong 100 percent of the time. If Bill Maher was a Goy, he would have gotten more credit around here for occasionally having a view would offend Liberals.
If the Goy Chris Matthews was going on a tirade on Islam, I am pretty sure a lot of iSteve readers here would be praising him and saying he is a closet race realist.
Apparently Jew hatred involves always 100 percent disagreeing with anything that ever comes out of a Jew’s mouth, even if a Jew has a political opinion that leans more to the right than to the left.
I am not a big fan of Blacks, but even I occasionally agree with something that comes out of a Negro person’s mouth.
Maybe a new Lenny Bruce could come along and say sick, in-your-face things. The new twist could be that he tells blatantly un-PC jokes and stories that have the ring of truth. By being over-the-top, he could establish a coolness foothold among a new cognoscenti.
Naaahhh.
Bill Maher is very typical of a lot of other people I know who are his age. The me generation. They were on the tail end of the baby boom and had all the cynicism, ridicule, and anger of the hippies who were older but never made it into the 1980’s when it became cool to be conservative again. Their politics are completely frozen in the 1970’s. My guess is when he was younger, he did a lot of drugs. Born at the apex of America’s success, they have ridden the decline down without ever doing anything constructive or worthwhile.

So….they admit they usually draw their audiences from “liberal sources”; nice to hear them admit it. I’ve noticed this since the 1970s when I first started watching TV: TV audiences are rarely representative of common opinion, they almost always are strongly left-wing in orientation/prejudices.
You are close to describing “Generation Jones,” the late baby boomers who are now running things (into the ground.) Our US president is one, and his very election (affirmative action, because he is black, sort of) is a manifestation of that cohort’s ways.
Truly though, “we” are not all like that. We do know the feeling of decline though. I would call it living during the fall.

Talking to someone is a multichannel communication. In addition to the primary vocal channel there is a second channel of various out-of-band, many of which visual, cues. You can see if someone understands you, agrees with you etc without asking most of the time. That is why you have a face-to-face talk, when you want to see eye-to-eye with somebody. Many blind do not learn this language, and they can’t receive your cues even when they’d learned somewhat.
So, a blind person didn’t affirm your statement by nodding, or saying ‘yeah’, or something and you’re not sure he understood you. What do you do? You… speak… slowly.
So, a blind person has not turned towards you when you started to speak to him in a group. Is he ‘lending you an ear’, as some blind people do by turning the side of their faces to you, or has he not heard you? What do you do? YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE.
Bitching “[I am/ He is] blind, not deaf”, is not helpful.

There's a lot more about Rachel on the web and I am starting to feel bad about it. But it should be said that it looks like this whole thing got started because of these harassment letters that she claimed she was receiving: that's what put her in the spotlight. And the letters appear to be fake. In one of them, there was a xerox picture of a man holding a shotgun; I don't know who the guy was, but he looked an awful lot like her dad. I'm at the point where I don't really want to know any more about her private life, I am starting to feel sorry for her, the same as with Jackie.
The only reason I don't feel completely sorry for Emma yet is because that she is still doing stuff that is damaging to a specific other person. Whereas, regardless of how goofy they have acted, neither Jackie nor Rachel have actually harmed anyone. (Not denying the harm they may have caused different communities.)
Part of what's going on here is that the media is enabling these women to act the way they are acting (Hi, Sabrina!). Ultimately, it's cruel, but it was also cruel that their families, friends, and associates allowed them to carry on this way and get this far. Meanwhile, Caitlyn is continuing her exhibitionism.
This is becoming a pattern. Every month or so we get some woman who captures everyone's attention for being victimized in some way. And then she is disgraced. It's funny as hell but it's also ....... unhealthy and also sad. Something is wrong here.Replies: @Rob McX, @WhatEvvs

So, a blind person didn't affirm your statement by nodding, or saying 'yeah', or something and you're not sure he understood you. What do you do? You... speak... slowly.
So, a blind person has not turned towards you when you started to speak to him in a group. Is he 'lending you an ear', as some blind people do by turning the side of their faces to you, or has he not heard you? What do you do? YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE.

The notion of sub-verbal cues is a very good point. Not only do we normally expect visual cues we expect verbal cues of the “uh huh” variety — sort of a mini-call and response. The absence of such cues can be especially disconcerting in phone calls. Without that constant feedback, voices will tend to slow down, pause, hem and haw, and ending every sentence with “OK” and so on. This may be how upspeak may have developed, that is, the style of speaking which intonates every statement as an interrogatory. Problem with upspeak it that sounds like someone is simply saying over and over, “please don’t hit me.”
I remember many years ago trying to explain some spatial relationship to a blind person. I ended up taking his hand and drawing with my fingers on his fingers and palm. It worked; but I’m sure it would be considered sexual assault or something today.

One problem in this country is that if you don’t identify with being a Liberal it is assumed that you are Conservative. So when Jerry Seinfeld says he doesn’t play colleges, he is suddenly a conservative. The real world is more nuanced than that and one can be liberal and see the humor of, off color, non PC jokes or conservative and see the humor of dirty jokes. Or, one can not identify at all with being conservative or liberal. But it seems that they want everybody in two camps fighting with each other constantly.
Me too. He’s got a real knack for it. “Ethnic Extremist Leaves US To Fight In Middle Eastern Tribal War”(about David Brookes’ son) and “‘How Immigration Can Hurt A Country, In Theory Not Just In Reality” are a couple of my favorites.

I couldn’t see the George’s black friend episode or the “not that there’s anything wrong with that” episode about homosexuality being made today. In the early 90s white liberals could easily laugh at not having black friends because even many of them didn’t, but today that’s seriously “not funny.” And there wasn’t anything like the pressure to pretend that homosexuality is completely unremarkable (unless you’re remarking on how it’s superior to heterosexuality) that there is today.
Er, not really that funny.
I’d say that agreeing with the guy is the entire point of political humor; people laugh because we in the group are agreeing that those in the other group are wrong, stupid and kind of evil; my least favorite form of humor

I don’t know how you can say that. They both made up fake crimes that could have ended up ruining someone’s life if things had worked out a little differently. Fake crime reports would do a lot more damage were it not for the fact that those who make them are usually too stupid and/or unbalanced to concoct a credibly coherent story.
What happened in both cases is that the media got hold of the stories and went to town: and that's their job. In Jackie's case, however, at least, in retrospect she never should have been written up by Rolling Stone the way she was.
I don't know. I'm seeing a lot of troubled women out there and I feel sorry about that. But you are right, they have potential to do grave harm. Don't we have any grownups in our society anymore?
Perhaps another factor in her trans-racial aspirations? As a White woman, she was medium pretty.As a “Blackish” woman, though, she’s very pretty indeed, the kind of barely-Black, could easily pass the paper bag test gal who is the envy of the great mass of Black chicks.

The other day I was watching a documentary on television shows in the ’70s that included several clips from “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons.”
My 20-something kids were shocked that television shows from the era actually made jokes about blacks and whites not exactly living in harmony. In one of the clips, the character Tom Willis from “The Jeffersons” actually uses the “N” word after George Jefferson calls him a honky; I thought my kids were going to fall out of their chairs.
Spot on about Carlin, whatever you can say about the last part of his career, it wasn’t comedy.
Many lesser so called comics are just angry ranters with no trace of humor. Joe Rogan comes to mind.
Well, the fact is, neither Jackie nor Rachel ever actually accused a specific person. Looked at from outside, neither of them were doing anything else than trying to get people to pay attention — or perhaps, pay homage — to them. The proper reaction in both cases would have been to ignore them, which is apparently what happened, and to get them to seek counseling of some kind.

There also has to be an inverse correlation between skin color and sense of aggrievement. The lighter the skin, the angrier the sista.

I was thinking the same thing. She makes a better looking black lady than white lady, because the tan (tanning bed and makeup) covers up the freckles, and her nose as an African-American looks Caucasian, but when she was white it was too wide. And then all that kewl hair….
LOL. That’s some convenient shit right there.
And I’d call a 100% white Bill Maher a shabbos goy version of “anti-PC.”
Funny how the entertainment media in general follow the same “anti-PC” trend. Don’t hold your breath waiting for a black version of The Dictator.

Yes, selectively “right-wing” “divergences” like rabidly supporting Israel are so “anti-PC.”

Yep, soft-headed. Making false accusations against white men in general, and adding to the climate of witch-hunting, is hunkey-dorey.

I don’t feel bad for her. She’s a complete exhibitionist, making the rounds of morning talk shows, etc. She’s completely brazen and unrepentent.
And she gets crazier by the nanosecond. Smoking Gun has something about her suing Howard U as a white woman, claiming they discriminated against her…as a white person.
Also, she is a witness against her bio-bro in a sexual assault case. I have zero clue as to whether there is anything to this case, whether it’s genuine or trumped up, but she is clearly part of a very screwed up family drama.
[Totally O/T, but may be relevant to a future Sailer post: The parents are evangelical Christians who are really into “invite the world.” There is a strain of Evangelical Christianity that is really masochistic. It’s powered by outwardly submissive but essentially control freaky, domineering women who are ga-ga about adopting non-white orphans. They are actively creating what they think is a post-racial America, which they envision will be a rainbow coalition of rapture believers, just like them. They are bonkers, and this is what Rachel grew up in.]
