parabellumBill Maher in trouble over "Korean joke"
Sorry, I don't get the outrage. I wasn't aware of any stereotype about Korean women and nail salons, but even if there is such a stereotype, look at what Maher tweeted.
??
Big Goddamned deal
WTF??

SigmanicNot a Maher fan, but I got a chuckle out of it. Leftists are anti humor in general, especially if anyone COULD be offended no matter how far the concept is stretched. Maher needs to keep the jokes coming.

cmr076feigning outrage is the liberal way. I cant decide if I like him or not.. I agree with him on muslim immigration, but he's still too far left for my liking.

rusbroIf he was just a standup comedian, nobody would care, but he's been suckling at the teet of the left for years now as a relentless political commentator and critic of most things conservative, throwing accusations of racism, sexism, etc. Lie down with dogs, rise up with fleas.

LS1 GTOWhy - is it the Vietnamese and Laotian women getting upset they weren't recognized this week?

^^^ That' how I see it. The left doesn't like anybody personally. They turned on Juan Williams, for cripe's sake.
It's all about the party line. Even if you only appear to stray, they will turn on you.

Sort of like with the Washington Redskins flap, the people that were to be offended had to be cued in after the fact.

OrgussI don't pay attention to Maher, but if he even once jumped on others for their tweets, don't you think he deserves to get some hate in return?

darthfusterI hope he never stops being free to speak. Political correctness is tyranny.

Elk Hunterknow who he is, never watched his shit show. But then, I don't watch any of those liberal propaganda shows either. NONE!
Getting hard to watch Fox News now, too.
Fox business has a couple of shows that we watch.

No
You're asking me if it's OK if he's unjustly accused. The answer is no.

Skull LeaderHe never mentioned the ethnicity of his salon ladies. The people that are piling on him jumped to that conclusion on their own. Who's the racist again?

flesheatingvirusA joke about a stereotype. I see nothing wrong with it. People outraged about this have too much time on their hands and should go to work or read a book.
