“I’m more of a “hire someone else to work the fields” guy.”
“Field work? I’d wreck these nails and hair.”
“Maybe if they were fields of marijuana.”
“I would never play Nebraska, let alone work in your fields.”
“Do I look like a fieldworker?”
“I’m too pretty for field work.”
“Work in the fields? What, are you high? Wait, no—you’re a Nebraskan Republican.”
“No, I’m a comedian—I don’t do “field work.””
“Work in the fields? I don’t think even half of actual Nebraskans works in the fields.”
Or he could have let it go—there’s always another joke around the corner.
Bill Maher could have said any of my non-comedian quick whip comebacks last Friday night, but instead he caused the liberal world to up and start eating itself and created a cover for Kathy Griffin by using the N-Word in reference to the cultural motif of “House N— vs. Field N—.”
Meanwhile, not a racist politician or voter learned a damn thing—our racist President and his racist staff and voters still call for banning Muslims and Mexicans, and pine on about “reverse racism” and more silly phrases that are only used by a certain population who vote a certain way (hint: they were the ones happily burning Obama in effigy, proudly, for years or calling him out as the Antichrist and/or a Muslim outsider not even born in America or churched properly).
And they claim that liberals are the real racists. Go figure.
Thanks, Maher.
Instead, the mainstream media spent the week wringing hands and demonizing four seconds of t.v. and a host who had a “dumb moment” that should have never happened.
Poor Nebraska Senator Benjamin E. Sasse—I wonder how his week was?
But last night, Michael Eric Dyson and Maher had longer-than-usual first guest talk, with Maher looking anemic, but saying all the right things about why he never should use the word—and that he knows he doesn’t get to use that word.
Real Time with Bill Maher, June 10:
CNN’s Don Lemon:
Ice Cube’s pre-show response:
Oprah Winfrey:

There is room for debate about who can use what words, like separate rules based on the race of the speaker, but I see NO good reason for there to be a special exemption just for comedians. For one thing, we would have to agree on a good definition of “comedian,” which is hard enough. We don’t even have a working definition of “white.” I guess Maher accepted the label of “white” for himself. I wonder what would have happened if he refused to be labeled white. If someone says Maher should not have said that because he’s white, the… Read more »
By the liberal definition, Maher is racist. When anyone disagreed with the last horrible president they were called racists and bigots. The standard should be the same but it isn’t. Liberals are the most hypocritical people on the planet.
So are conservatives!
I see the same stuff from the major parties on either side. Both are lead by hypocrites with the squeekiest wheels with political access to disseminate as far a platform will let them. Constantine was right “it’s all just hypocritical bullshit”. I reading the crap in here and i see people placing claim on who causing the least damages. If theres a 9in knife that stabs me in the back, i don’t care if the stab was 1in deep or 3in deep. I was still stabbed. And thats whats either side is doing when they draw hard lines.
Ian, The fact is the conservatives are even worse in their hypocrisy. They are quick to make excuses and overlook people in their own ranks, yet quick to condemn or vilify others who disagree with them. We are seeing it now in regards to the Trump/Russia fiasco. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton was at the center of this drama?! The conservative right would be calling for her to be imprisoned. Liberals, if anything , are treading water on the issue and taking a wait and see attitude. So please save your BS about liberal hypocrisy. It cannot touch a… Read more »
Hillary IS at the center of drams and the left ignores it. How much did she make on the Russian uranium deal?
” Liberals, if anything , are treading water on the issue and taking a wait and see attitude” Where have you been the last 6 months? Are you serious?
Add to this “free speech” where liberals can say and do what they want yet prohibit others from doing the same.
“The most hypocritical people on the planet” is the most incredible thing that anyone has ever said in the history of the entire universe. What, “most hypocritical in North America” not enough of a criticism?
