A lot of his fans are defending/supporting him...

quote:

"He gets a pass from me," said Dee Moss.

"He's a comedian and it's free speech," said Kamna Agarwal.

"It was in the spirit of being funny," said Marnita Riley.

You've (once again) confirmed suspicion.

Bill come to the dark side.

Liberals hate you now more than conservatives

I hate Bill Maher a lot but I watched the clip and it wasn't that bad. Certainly not intended to be racist. Republicans getting up in arms about this are just as bad as the snowflakes

Sharpton is on him. Huffington Post is on him. My bet is that he doesn't walk away from this.

I saw it, didn't think it was racist. Didn't think it was clever or funny either. I thought it was stupid and adolescent.

He is on HBO. Probably the best network to be on when it comes to this stuff.

I doubt anything happens to him.

Kinda disappointed he apologized but not surprised

He probably shouldn't use the N word on live TV.

He will no lose his audience. They are not the kind of people that are easily offended.

overall they don't like him getting a pass on it because he plays to a liberal base and then a handful of people of African descent get to say,"oh, it's cool", i know i asked two of my black friends and they said what he did was racist but they don't think he should necessarily lose his job, btw they are not fans of his

Bill is such a confused liberal

He wants to be Mr. Controversy but he's the first to apologize after being controversial. The sad thing is that he's helped create this environment where people get torn down for sharing their opinions.

I couldn't care less what he said, and I would beat him to death with a shovel if I could.

It's hilarious though to see him get a pass. If Rush said that the left wouldn't stop until he was tarred, feathered, and drug through the streets.

I do hate the faux outrage though.

I am confused about this when it comes to this particular subject.

Every other word in a rap song is N***A this N***A that, but no one bats an eye.

This is a total crock. Bill Maher is a liberal and I think we all know that liberals do NOT have to apologize for ANYTHING.

Some conservative should be sacrificed in his place.

I do too. But it is more palatable when it's directed at such an arrogant douche like Bill Maher
