  1. Agreed. I was pointing out the hypocrisy in the left when it comes to spuing 'hatred'. They are the masters at it. This forum is full of evidence to this fact.

  2. By fabricating BS out of whole cloth and then framing others for it? As was most recently done to Whoopi? You mean like that?

  3. No, I mean like spuing hatred manufactured or coming from the heart. That's what your side does all day and night, so please don't come here to give us a sermon on hatred.....you guys own that word.

  4. Yes, I remember well the blatant outpouring of nothing but love for Obama from the Right. Not to mention the endless photoshopping from their hearts. Such gentle souls...

  6. Liberal 'show business' people have called Trump all sorts of terrible things. But the left controlled media and it's zombie supporters think it is 'freedom of speech' when it comes to their way of spuing hate...

    “Roseanne” fans have called on HBO to fire “Real Time” host Bill Maher in response to the comedian’s jokes that President Trump was part orangutan.

    ABC quickly canceled the successful “Roseanne” reboot Tuesday hours after its star, Roseanne Barr, posted a racist tweet about former President Obama’s aide Valerie Jarrett. The tweet said Jarrett, who is African-American and born in Iran, is like the “Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby.” Barr apologized for the tweet before her show was canceled. The next day, she appeared to blame the prescription pill Ambien for the tweet.

    VALERIE JARRETT SAYS ROSEANNE’S TWEET SHOULD BE ‘TEACHING MOMENT’

    Following ABC's announcement, Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, a right-wing nonprofit group, tweeted, “Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time? They get classified as ‘jokes’ by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined. The difference? Bill Maher is a liberal, Roseanne is a free-thinking Trump supporter.”

    Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time?

    They get classified as "jokes" by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined

    The difference?

    Bill Maher is a liberal, Roseanne is a free-thinking Trump supporter

    However, some social media users pointed out that Trump sued Maher after he made a joke on Jay Leno’s late-night talk show that he would “offer $5 million to Donald Trump that he can donate to a charity of his choice” if he could prove his father was not an orangutan. Maher joked Trump appeared to be an orangutan because they both had similar hair color, Reuters reported. Trump withdrew the lawsuit against Maher eight weeks after filing it.

    I'm so old I remember when Bill Maher claimed President Trump's "mother had sex with an orangutan" and kept his job

    ABC CANCELS ‘ROSEANNE’ AFTER BARR’S RACIST TWEET

    Social media users also pointed out that Maher’s show “Politically Incorrect” was dropped by ABC in 2002 following comments he made about the Sept. 11. 2001 terror attacks. The comedian argued that “the labeling of terrorists as cowards was hypocritical, and that we have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away,” Bustle reported.

    Actually, Maher's own free-thinking got him cancelled on ABC -- back in 2001 after 9/11. And the history of black people being compared to apes/gorillas/chimpanzees is long and ugly. (Read a comments section about Serena Williams and see how quickly the ape comparisons start). https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1001571801825136642 …

    Bustle noted Maher’s name was trending on Twitter and was mentioned more than 54,000 times. Maher has not immediately commented on the backlash.

    He came under fire in June 2017 after tweeting, "This [North] Korean thing is getting tense! I mean, I think it is, I'm on vaca. The ladies at my nail salon are freaking out, that's what I know!"

    Maher was also criticized a month earlier when he called himself a "house n----r" on his HBO show in June 2017.

    Maher apologized for the expletive and HBO later removed his comment from future airings of the episode calling it "inexcusable."

    I dunno... it just seems like a double standard to me. Its like that picture of Whoopi with Trump on her T-Shirt.... she should be fired. How can you not agree with that?
    It is such a double standard dude. I'm just calling it like I see it, and I think I see things pretty damn level headed and clear. You can't debate me on this.

    Oh. It was fake. OK. I didn't read the subsequent posts.... just saw that.
    Either way, there's still a double standard out there.
