Bill Maher in the "house"

Right. Because they're definitely used in the same context...
More like a double standard.

Do you see the difference in context when compared to this story http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/stateroundup/miami-state-senator-curses-at-black-lawmaker-8212-and-uses-n-word-to-refer/2320783 ?

"Calling one of them a "f------ a------," a "b----" and a "girl," the two senators said."
I'm assuming that's a 'fucking asshole' a 'bitch' and a 'girl'.
We call you that every day Woody. So what?

Just sit down and let OBF try to explain to me there is a "double standard" in these two examples when the one I posted clearly shows a different context around the usage.

Of course if you can't see the double-standard why should OBF waste his time? Kind of like the old proverb about teaching a pig to sing.

Based on this story, and the one I posted, do you think that is an example of a double standard?

Only in the specific fact that it's OK for some people to use the N word and not others. Also the idea that the N word is so destructive and foul it could not be allowed to even be uttered. Bill Maher calls people assholes and bitches frequently among other names. Which, by the way I think he has a perfect right to do.Based on this story, and the one I posted, do you think that is an example of a double standard?
The opinion in and of itself is that someone was elected to a position because of 6 members of a particular race and you are upset by the descriptive term.

"descriptive term"? Really? You only see what he said as a descriptive term?
So again, you see the two stories we're discussing here, and you claim there's a double standard? Interesting...

interesting would be you pretending it's OK for somebody on the left but not somebody on the right. Well maybe it's not interesting but...

I don't give a rat's ass about an apology if it isn't sincere. I also think Bill Maher is smart and funny but also an asshole and that shouldn't be against the law.
We should recognize hypocrisy for what it is. If every black person in America uses the words all the time then why persecute somebody else?

Probably because Maher is a rich, white male. Can't get much lower on the oppression olympics pyramid than that.
That said, it was an cringeworthy to see Maher say something that incredibly stupid.

Oh please, Don Imus was a rich white-man Doctor Laura is a rich white woman, Howard Stern is a rich white-man, Jimmy the Greek was a rich white-man Paula Deen was a rich white womanProbably because Maher is a rich, white male. Can't get much lower on the oppression olympics pyramid than that.

I think you may have missed my sarcasm there, Steve. I was attempting to point out that it's an issue for a lot of people because a white person said "N*****". Probably wouldn't have near the uproar if an African American would've said the same thing. That's the point I was trying to get across. I was agreeing with you; just using the SJW's lingo for humor.Oh please, Don Imus was a rich white-man Doctor Laura is a rich white woman, Howard Stern is a rich white-man, Jimmy the Greek was a rich white-man Paula Deen was a rich white woman

"Desperate" about what? I was agreeing with what Steve said to begin with, you obtuse fuck. Try to keep up.

In the example I posted it was used in a derogatory manner. Maher used it as a shitty joke. Do you really not see that difference?

No worries.
I forgot to use proper Brown's Board protocol when attempting sarcasm:Probably because Maher is a rich, white male. Can't get much lower on the oppression olympics pyramid than that.
