Breitbart:
Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) has pulled out of a scheduled appearance on HBO’s Real Time amid controversy over host Bill Maher’s use of a racial slur on last week’s show.
In a statement to The Huffington Post, a spokesperson for the senator said Maher’s “offensive” comments led to Franken’s decision.
“Senator Franken believes that what Bill Maher said was inappropriate and offensive, which is why he made the decision not to appear on the next episode of ‘Real Time,’” the spokesperson said. “He was glad to see Bill, who the Senator considers to be a good friend, apologize and express sincere regret for his comment.”
Tiger Woods: Watch me ruin my career!
Kathy Griffin: Hold my beer and watch this!
Bill Maher: Fuckin Amateurs!
Speaking of pieces of shit……
Ironically, that is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard that guy say.
It was quick witted and perfectly timed. Considering the bile he spews, it’s poetic justice that this is what he catches shit for.
When the radical left controls the language they’re oblivious to the fact that they don’t have immunity. That goofy little bug Frankin is feeling the fear right down to his shrunken little testis.
“use of a racial slur”
since when is “nigger” a racist term ?
blacks call each other niggers all the time in public in front of whitey.
so freakin what !
imagine franken in a battle to “out virtue signal” maher.
kabuki theatre

sorry above anonymous was me
Tiger Woods: Watch me ruin my career!
Kathy Griffin: Hold my beer and watch this!
Bill Maher: Fuckin Amateurs!
Franken: I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.
Franken is a poor excuse for a comedian and a US Senator.
Maher is just a poor excuse for a human being advocating for a progressive America.
So this popped over the weekend on the local news boards, there was about 80 comments on the article. Looking through the resident elitists were bashing the more normal people because supposed alt right Chance the Rapper and BLM were spearchucking Maher for using the word. They were trying to imply that since conservatives hate Maher, they now love the BLM.
Stuart Smiley standing tall in solidarity with the muslims & the blacks. His jewish brethren tortured and perished in gas ovens, pfffft, they’re not his voting base.
Relax, Franken. He shot his wad on Sasse. Now go give Bill some amoral support.
Just when you stopped laughing at the Kathy Griffin slap down by ‘her peeps’, another elitist leftist who thinks he is safe, steps into the lava flow of SJWs. Wham. And the clown brigade, of which Frankenstein is a full member, jumps in the fray.
Unfortunately, the Al Frankens don’t even know that they too will fall!!! Tools of the SJWs are falling by the wayside.
Gads, don’t the know history?? This is the pattern of the left. They are coming for you, next, fake concerned Hollywood stars and elitist, rich congresspersons, thinking you are immune. They’ll eat you up
Franken expects to lose at least one book sale due to his Giant Moral Stand. The $5 dollars lost will be offset by the Uber fees saved.
Exactly, MM. Is this the beginning of the inevitable stalinist purge phase? That’s the kind of Hollywood entertainment I’d subscribe to cable for.
Bet that really upset Maher. His joke writers are going to have a good time with this subject.
Don’t look for a Celebrity Purge phase just try. Hollywood is still too useful. Look at how successfully the media brainwashed little simpleminded Reality Winner.
But once they really have their grip on power, the 100% tax rates on the rich will appear.
Until then the A-List will have to keep contorting further and further Left.
Prediction: Bill Maher will become a Christian. (You heard it here first, folks.)
Are there any “white” words that blacks are not allowed to say?
When Franken was a writer at SNL there was a skit called “The Incredible Man” which portrayed black comic Garrett Morris as a flying monkey. There is little information on who wrote the skit on the internet but it would be interesting to find out. And even if he did not write it, why didn’t he publically come out then and protest its broadcast?
“if you want to find out who rules you, consider who you are not allowed to criticize” – Voltaire
Giving up freedom of association has resulted in blacks being beyond criticism. Smart people will limit their own behavior, before someone else has to do it – but they are not smart people.
Joe – small words like job, work…
This is just an act of political cowardice disguised as a moral stand. An actual moral stand (well moral for a progressive) would be to appear on the show, castigate Maher for the use of the word and explain how some words when used by certain people are not covered by the 1st amendment and should be subject to legal actions. That’s the progressive morality. Hell, he should have gone on the show and castigated him for the use of the word but then defended his right to say it and defended the 1st amendment and free speech wherever it’s in danger. Now that would have confused everybody.
“…ow some words when used by certain people are not covered by the 1st amendment..” SMH
Franken is positioning himself to run for POTUS in 2020. (Yes, please)
The left had a seizure because Trump “was an entertainer”. Wonder what they’ll
say about a potential President who appeared on television in a diaper……..
Big Al must be gearing up to run for president.
He is a perfect tool, just does what he is told. Lacks the mental acuity to have any input into anything.
But…but…but he said he was sorry, Al.
