Advertisers May Abandon NBC in Droves


Video has surfaced from the program Point Counterpoint that will inevitably lead to a mass exodus of advertisers, despite whatever groveling apologies may be issued:

Even Rush Limbaugh’s crimes pale in comparison to the misogyny of using the s-word right to someone’s face. If only Dan Aykroyd had limited himself to the c-word and t-word, he would still be an accepted member of the media establishment, and his donations would be welcome at the White House.

Can Elwood, errrr Dan even donate to BHO?
Afterall, Dan is Canadian.
Maybe he can since BHO was born in the former British outpost of Kenya.

Of course he can donate to the O. And the O can accept it up until the point where he gets caught. Ain't America a great country?

He just gives it to his American Jew producer friends...

That was actually my first response; if nobody watches, does it actually exist?

 

[JuanVato]

Anything is legal...

....until you get caught.

So, Mr. President, Will Your Super PAC Return Bill Maher’s Million Dollars?


WH spokesman Jay Carney was asked that very question this afternoon in the press briefing. Here’s the transcript.


Q Last thing. The President spoke out in the news conference about how people need to be careful with their language in general, and he spoke about his own daughters and setting an example. I know he’s not the language police, you’re not the language police from this podium to pick on people on the left or the right. But there is a letter that went to the Chief of Staff today from a conservative group, Concerned Women for America, saying that the President should direct this super PAC, on the Democratic side, that took a million-dollar check from Bill Maher, who has had some pretty coarse things to say about conservative women.

And I understand the President can’t — he’s not in charge of the super PAC, it’s an outside thing. But he did bless that PAC and say to his supporters, you should give to this PAC if you want to. So can he also say, give a million-dollar check back if it’s from somebody who said these things?

MR. CARNEY: I think the points that you made as you were asking your question are the ones that I will make, which is that we are not, and cannot be, the arbitrator of every statement that everybody makes in the policy and political arena.

As a general matter, obviously language that denigrates women is inappropriate. And I think I would point you to what the President said when he was asked about this during his press conference, which is that he chooses to lead by example, or to try to. He chooses to, in the pursuit of a more civil discourse in our public space, he chooses to try to practice that civility himself. And he calls on everybody to do just that.

So…that would be a “No.”

As for that “civil discourse” Carney claims the president practices, well, sure, other than when he called for people to get in their neighbors faces and argue, and that bit about bringing a gun if Republicans bring a knife. Sure.

 

[busybody..]

The real DUMMIEZ are the REPOZ who fall for this shit

EVERY FUCKING TIME

So the President wants to “lead by example ” and “hope that others will follow“ (i.e. he mouths lofty sounding but meaningless platitudes,but takes no constructive action), while he turns a blind eye as leftist ideologues such as Maher savage his opponents on his behalf . The dems have no responsibility for Maher, who has publicly bragged about his a million dollar donation to their causes, yet GOP figures are constantly being asked to repudiate Rush Limbaugh. Yep, no double standard here.

 

[busybody..]

OVERREACH: Limbaugh Attack Boomerangs On White House. And on Bill Maher. “This is one issue on which the mainstream media is offering the White House no cover. As National Journal put it: ‘[E]ven the most ardent Obama supporter would have to admit that if Limbaugh crossed the line on acceptable discourse, then Maher obliterated that line, even acknowledging the difference between a political talkmeister and a comedian.’”

Hey, if you replace your cable/HBO with a Roku box, be sure and tell ‘em why.

UPDATE: Reader Tony Methvin writes: “I cancelled HBO in a chat session with a Comcast CSR. They asked for my reason and I mentioned ‘Bill Maher & guests make unacceptable political jokes about conservative women and sexual assaults (Dan Savage); and the HBO movie ‘Game Change’ was political propaganda against my values.’ the CSR said they had heard this often recently. I like that my TiVo allows Netflix and YouTube streaming as an alternative. BTW Lilyhammer is a great Netflix series. In your face smashing of the nanny state fun!”



And reader Darren Gold writes, “Don’t let David Axelrod off the hook for calling Miss California a dog! Please get it out there that in 2009 David Axelrod implied that Miss California was a dog. This was right after Miss California’s answer in the Miss America contest that angered the left. What would Sasha and Malia think?”

What, indeed?

 

[busybody..]

lets also remember

When J Brown called M Whitman a WHORE, even NOW said, YES, SHE IS A WHORE

The list goes on and doesnt stop

PLEASE LETS STOP THE GAME

and

BULLSHIT

We all know whats UP


Obama’s Super PAC: But…But…Bill Maher’s Just a Comedian!


Bill Burton runs Barack Obama’s super PAC, the one to which Bill Maher donated $1 million. Burton doesn’t want to give that money back. His defense of Maher doesn’t pass the laugh test.


MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell asked Burton, a former Obama campaign press secretary, if that was a double standard, a charge Burton deflected by arguing that Maher was a comedian, not a political commentator.

“First of all, obviously, some of those things were vulgar and inappropriate and said over the course of years of a comedian’s life. It’s not language I would use or language we would use at Priorities USA,” Burton said. “But the notion that there is an equivalence between what a comedian has said over the course of his career and what the de facto leader of the Republican Party said to sexually degrade a woman who led in a political debate of our time, is crazy.”

What? Bill Maher, former host of a show called Politically Incorrect, and whose entire schtick these days consists of hosting roundtable shows about politics with a mix of media and political figures, isn’t a political commentator? Really? That’s what you’re going with?

Maher’s remarks weren’t “over the course of a career.” They were made in a specific place and time, targeted at a specific person, and they were awful.

And if we were to do a blind comparison on the language used, Maher’s foul, obviously misogynistic language would earn him FCC fines if he was on broadcast. Rush is on broadcast, and even the Obama FCC knows it can’t touch him for the words he used. If it could, we all know that it would.

What Rush said was bad, and he has apologized. What Maher said was far worse, and he has not apologized. The president’s super PAC and the Alabama Democratic Party have embraced Maher — comedian, political commentator, whatever — and are raising money with him.

There’s a lesson to be learned in all this: The Democrats’ fealty to feminism is nothing but show. They don’t really care about advancing women. Their support of womanizer and alleged rapist Bill Clinton was a strong hint, but their embrace of Bill Maher is a shout: Democrats are just using women to help themselves.
