Once and For All, Bill Maher IS NOT the Titular Head of a Major Political Party like Limbaugh Is

[Volaris]

27. I would just like to add...

I think the issue of whether or not Maher OR Limbaugh is a misogynist is a secondary issue here. It's not that I think Maher should get a pass from us for being a misogynist ,he really should not... its that Bill Maher, to my knowledge, has never had to resort to using misogyny as the underlying foundation for an argumentative position, and (in this case, anyway) Rush most certainly HAS. I am also wary that the Right is raising the double-standard, "well, the Left does it, too", Free Speech card, and I to that I say bullshit. I think Bill Maher (and other comics and Social Commentators) can use Free Speech as a defense because they have to understand as part of their livelihood the LIMITS of Free Speech and the legal definition of SLANDER, which Rush CLEARLY does not. There IS a false equivalency at work here, but I take caution when its the Right-wing Echo Chamber that brings it up, because they are not known for their introversion, rational self-reflection, and prowess with argumentative debate, as Rush's entire tirade against this woman would seem to would seem to clearly indicate, no? (I think it comes with most of the Right-wingers being Holier-than-Thou Narcissists.)

Just my observations, fell free to respond
