Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

Far left icon Bill Maher “out”does himself this time
First, he dressed up in a disgraceful Halloween costume that mocked the death of well-respected Aussie wildlife lover Steve Irwin. Now he’s “outing” Ken Mehlman by alleging that the soon-to-be former RNC Chairman is gay. Predictably, the Nutroot contingent in the blogosphere are boiling mad that CNN edited out Maher’s comments about Mehlman in re-runs of the initial Larry King Show broadcast (which is shown in the Political Pit Bull link).
Shameless.
What is with the left when it comes to “outing” allegedly gay Republicans? For people who claim Republicans are so obsessed with the sex lives of others, this little game of guessing who is supposedly gay in the Republican party has become quite popular amongst the Nutroots crowd.
I wrote the following in my post about the “outing” of the supposedly gay Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) a few weeks ago and I think it’s worth posting again this evening:
[...] If you’ve ever talked to a gay person about the issue of “coming out” they’ll tell you (at least this has been what I’ve been told in my conversations with gay friends)) that deciding on whether or not to come out is an intensely personal, sometimes agonizing decision to make – and the announcement should come from them. It’s theirs and theirs alone to make. Not anyone else’s. Coming out is, to put it simply, a private matter between the person coming out and their family and friends.
Several years ago, a friend of mine who I’d known since I was in elementary school came out to me. I told that friend that his coming out did not change how I felt about him as a friend. In the midst of our conversation, he mentioned that he’d been to a club recently and bumped into someone we both knew from junior and senior high school who was also gay. Out of curiosity, I asked him “who was it?” His response to me essentially was that it wasn’t his place to say, that he didn’t know if our mutal friend had told his family and friends yet that he was gay, and that the announcement that he was gay would have to come from him directly. I respected that, and later found out that what my friend said about the need for gay people who come out to make the announcement themselves was pretty consistent with I’d heard and read about the issue. Someone else coming out for a gay person can have seriously disastrous consequences if the gay person was not ready to be outed yet.
There’s no way Maher, who I’m sure is “in touch” with the Hollywood crowd, which if full of gay artists, doesn’t know this, which is what makes the stunts he and other far lefties try to pull with Republicans who are supposedly gay that much more despicable. None of which is surprising, though, considering the rabid hounds have been let loose and it’s open season on Republicans (gay or not) by the same crowd who believes the American people should be able to “unite again” under the new Dem “leadership.”
What.a.jerk.

It’s now apparent and undeniable that Bill Maher is and always has been a self-absorbed, self-righteous, classless bastard.
ST – This, and your previous post on Rangel, is just the tip of the iceburg of the all out meltdown I expect to be seeing splashed across the papers and TV sets of the ambulance chasing media as the hard left starts to realize thier political boat has sailed. It will get widespread coverage, but their antics will just cause lots of deepening silence from the Dem party, as they steadily distance themselves from the fevor swamps. If you saw Rahm Emanuel on FOX today, he “officially” cut the hard Left lose, saying very clearly that the “[Tuesday] win was a mandate for reasonable, moderate, “centrist” politics, and that the Democratic party is going to work hard for all Americans, rejecting the extreme on both sides”. The Left side of the blogosphere is already screaming.
- Bang
Bill Maher is dolt. That’s a great pic you found of him. Bill at his best.
I meant Bill Maher is a dolt. It’s too late to be typing.
This is just one more example of the disgusting nature of the far left. They do these things because they have the stereotype that we are the homophobes. Most conservatives that I know including myself, don’t really care what adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom. We don’t care if someone is homosexual or not, but we don’t want others pushing their lifestyle on us and our children. The reason that the left does these things, is because they have been raised with a guilt complex that determines everything that they do and everything they are. So they are continually attempting to appease that guilt. Therefore, they have to create programs like affirmative action, create wealth distribution systems and the like. It is true liberalism (leftism) is a mental illness.
Well said, Carl!!! There’s really nothing left to say after that!!!!
Other than Maher will get his. Someday and in someway, Maher will get his.
Honestly, some people lack a heart, a soul or any sense of decency. Bill Maher, clearly, is one of them.
Here’s the most telling story I can relay about the hard-core liberals that I’ve known: When I was in college studying journalism, I was a pretty middle-of-the-road person. And, honestly, I kept my political beliefs to myself. I wasn’t even interested in sharing that sort of thing at that age.
Most of my friends had no idea whether I was Republican, Democrat, independent, etc. And that was fine with me. I knew what my liberal friends were, because they would frequently talk and/or lecture on being pro-choice, pro-welfare, etc. Again, I let them talk or rant and then would move on to another subject.
After a period of time, invariably, one or another of them would say, “Hey, Beth, come to think of it, I don’t know what you believe or how you vote, if you vote. So… what are you?”
When I would tell them I was Republican, they’d start to lecture me. “How could you?,” one of them actually screamed at me (and this was my best friend from high school). Another one said, “I can’t believe I’ve been friends with you all this time. You betrayed me!” Another one, no joke, asked me if I was raised by Evangelicals or something (I’m Catholic, as if that matters).
And, yes, they were all serious. In each case, the person eventually started “acting normal” around me again — as if we were still buddies and nothing strange had ever happened. As long as I live, though, I’ll never forget the lessons I learned from my “tolerant” liberal friends.
BILL MAHER, what a piece of work. I watch his stuff, it is sad that people really buy into his lies. Maybe all these enlightened educated morons should buy common sense for dummies.
Some of you may not be aware, but Bill Maher started out as a comedian. No, really. It’s true. I know, I can’t hardly believe it myself. I can’t for the life of me ever remember him ever making me laugh, and I used to watch Politically Incorrect. But that’s what I keep hearing about him.
In any case, Maher is typical of so many on the left who condescend to the rest of the world since, hey, he’s got it all down to a tee. You know that tribute to Rummy that Ferguson ran? That was Maher he drew on that pad. Maher’s a smug S.O.B. of epic proportions. A classic case of “how did THAT guy get there?” NO talent, NO sense, NO respect for opinions that differ from his. Loser. And here’s a little secret just for you all: I don’t like him.
Maher is getting more and more hateful as time goes on.
I can’t stand to listen to him and wonder if he will get around to “outing” all his moombat friends, no, its just the right he is going after … what does that tell ya, washed up comedian, plain and simple.
His party is spose to be the tolerant ones, yeah, what a friggin joke.
Without defending Mr Maher, the rumor that Mr Mehlman is homosexual has been floating around out there (pun intended) for quite a while now. I’ve seen it on the web several times before this.
I never found Bill Maher funny.
You know, I never liked the idea of “outing” people against their consent, no matter what the motives. Bill Maher is heaping much worse unto him than he thinks.
Obviously, he has forgotten the fact that karma also applies to him.
I think it is funny that when the Republicans won by a narrow margin, Sean Hannity called it a “mandate.” However, now that the dems have won, he is afraid the win will be “misinterpreted” as a mandate. I think the next two years will be filled with this type of hypocrisy. It would be nice if we would just comment on the justness of soneone’s actions rather than pretending that one group is right and the other wrong. No party holds a market on integrity.
Well, said, alicia. You mean like when the Republicans win it’s a “fraud” and “voter intimidation” and “stolen”, but when the democrats win, it’s because “the people have spoken”.
You mean like that kind of hypocrisy?
Yes, exactly. I play no favorites. I was embarrassed by the fact that there are no claims of voter fraud after this election. At some point we have to stop being so selective in our criticism. Wrong is wrong, no matter who is guilty.
I think it is time for all Americans to stop taking sides and admit that our govermnemt is not working for us, but rather seeking power, which we all know, translates to $$’s.
