I watched the video, and I went to the website.
Yes, Maher's an ass and I don't think he's particularly funny; but what does that have to do with the SHE PAC that produced the video?
It apparently was founded several days before Limbaugh's tirade. Maher's donation - according to OpenSecrets.org - was also before the hearings where Limbaugh went off, which also breaks down the linkage somewhat. The timing was coincidental - Maher donated on Feb 28th, then Limbaugh went off on the 29th.
The first reference I can find to SHE PAC is Feb 24th, so that predates both Maher and Limbaugh, so it's probably not a sham PAC; but, there's also no filing by SHE PAC, or the key organizers at either the FEC or OpenSecrets.org, as of today. SHE PAC appears to exist on a website only, with a single ad, that repeatedly re-emphasizes statements (by Maher) that are crude and offensive to women...and this from a PAC that is run by women, to elect women?
"Bill Maher is offensive to women. Donate to us or Obama will win." Is that their message? Are they going to nominate a conservative woman running mate for President? Or is this taking advantage of a situation that they should find offensive on BOTH sides (Limbaugh and Maher) but only going after Maher and Obama? Okay, I guess. You go girl...
