https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/a...word.html?_r=0The HBO late-night host Bill Maher drew quick and widespread condemnation on Friday night for using a racial epithet in an interview with Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska.
Shortly after 10 p.m., Mr. Maher, the comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time,” was talking to Mr. Sasse on his program about the boundaries between adolescence and maturity, and how adults in California still dress up for Halloween.
When Mr. Sasse said this did not happen in his state, Mr. Maher said, “I’ve got to get to Nebraska more.”
Mr. Sasse replied: “You’re welcome. We’d love to have you work in the fields with us.”
Mr. Maher said: “Work in the fields? Senator, I’m a house nigger. No, it’s a joke.”
HAHAHA! What a bunch of thin-skinned panty-waists getting worked up over a white man using the n-word in that context. (Check out the comments, and outrage over on forums like DU.)
It's a JOKE. He's a COMEDIAN. Settle the fuck down, you easily-triggered snowflakes. You should know Bill Maher is hardly one to be PC.
Some on the left are still pissed at him because he keeps inviting rabid right-wingers like Milo and Coulter on his show, and actually gives them a fair shake.
Guess it really sucks that some liberals actually care about free speech, speaking their minds, and not giving a damn who gets offended, eh?
