A Super PAC supporting President Obama is refusing to return a $1 million contribution from Bill Maher.
Fox News is reporting today:
Current and former White House aides on Thursday rejected demands by a conservative group that a Super PAC supporting President Obama refund a $1 million check from comedian and talk show host Bill Maher because of coarse comments he's made about Sarah Palin and other Republican women.
While Obama earlier this week denounced similar comments that radio talk show host made about a college student, Sandra Fluke, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters the president is not going to get involved in the Maher battle.
Carney said "language that denigrates women is inappropriate," but it is not the President's place to be the "arbiter" of every controversial statement.
"He chooses to lead by example or tries to," Carney said of the president, adding that "he chooses to try to practice that civility himself and he calls on everybody to do just that."
Maher used the c-word, twat and boobs to refer to Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, yet the Left is giving him a pass and the Obama Super Pac, which is run by longtime Obama aide Bill Burton, is keeping Maher's contribution.
Kirsten Powers at The Daily Beast, who sees the hypocrisy, wrote:
Let’s just call a spade a spade: the uproar over Limbaugh is only because it fits into the Democratic narrative that the GOP is “anti-woman.” It’s Democratic Party activism dressed up as feminism.
That's not all. Democrat congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee and Jan Schakowsky refused to condemn Bill Maher for calling Gov. Sarah Palin a “c--t” and a “dumb twat.”
Let's see how outraged they'd be if a conservative said those things about Nancy Pelosi. All this is just phony outrage against Limbaugh in order to shut him up and get him off the air.
Ironically, Bill Maher is supporting Limbaugh in this.
