This was already delt with in the Rush thread but I guess we can do it again.

I do not like the language that Maher. I do not use that language. It is juvenile, vile and insulting whether used by Limbaugh, Maher or anyone else. Having said that I believe there is a big difference between what Maher and Limbaugh said albeit one that you wil probably disagree with.

Maher's comments were directed at an individual. That does not make it right, just what it is. I do not care for Palin in the slightest but I would never defend such comments against her. Limbaugh's comments were directed at every woman who uses contraceptives. It was viewed as an attack on women in general not a specific woman. That is where I believe the difference is and where the outrage is focused. I do not think anyone cares that a misogynistic, drug addict blow hard used the term slut or prostitute in regards to Ms Fluke. The anger comes from the fact that men are making the rules regarding women's health care and reproductive rights and that his comments had far greater impact than just a description of Ms Fluke.

Both men are idiots but Limbaugh attacked a group where as Maher just went after one person as Limbaugh as done countless times without even making a blip on the radar.
