This isnt about you and what you find funny. Maher is a comedian whether or not you think he's funny. Rush is not a comedian (Why do you ignore this simple point?)
Maher is a comedian...he says vile things about people. Thats what comedians do. Ever heard of Andrew Dice Clay? or better yet Howard Stern? I bet more comedians donate to dems than repubs so what?
Now all comedians will be compared to Rush Limbaugh? Not even the same
Can anyone answer the question, How is this hypocritical?
Y
our arbitrary labels are utterly meaningless. Maher has been doing political commentary for years. He ceased being a pure comedian long ago. On the other hand, whenever the left wants to discredit something Limbaugh has to say, the call him "nothing but an entertainer." Whatever you call their profession is irrelevant. No profession gives anyone license to act like a horse's ass.
It's hypocritical when you attack one and cozy up to the other when they've done the same thing. In fact, Maher has done far worse.
