The era of civility was on full display during Friday night’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”
In the midst of a conversation about Michele Bachmann and her husband Marcus Bachmann’s Christian counseling clinic (recently underfire for attempting to turn gays straight through prayer), comedian Marc Maron spoke about how he thinks about “angrily f*cking” the Republican presidential candidate. (h/t Ian Schwartz of RCP video)
“I don’t want to be crass, but I just hope that Marcus Bachmann takes all that, ya know, that rage that comes from repression and denial and brings it into the bedroom with her,” Maron said. “I hope he f*cks her angrily, because that’s how I would. And I’ve thought about it.”

You promote liberalism/progressivism, it is rarely civil. You do it in a manner that may be civil, but the end result never is.

i wish to achieve my goals which are not about converting people or changing them, i like people to make their decisions in the end and certainly yes, i like to operate without offending people.
Now, I’m not saying that sexism doesn’t exist and isn’t real. And we can’t, but we can’t throw around the word “sexist” just to stop people like me from pointing out that Michele Bachmann, now running second for the Republican presidential nomination, isn’t a dangerous nincompoop. And when I point out that Sarah Palin is a vainglorious braggart, a liar, a whiner, a professional victim, a scold, a know-it-all, a chiseler, a bully who sells patriotism like a pimp, and the leader of a strange family of inbred weirdos straight out of “The Hills Have Eyes,” that’s not sexist. I’m saying it because it’s true, not because it’s true of a woman.
beethoven said:yes there are certain ground rules to civility.
was not aware of bill maher 3 yrs ago nor was i aware this comedian made fun of palin's family during the forementioned election.
i enjoy some comic relief however from time to time, and i am very aware that comedy can be thoroughly controversial.
if you are deeply offended by the words of someone, anyone, as in this particular way that you are with bill maher, i welcome you to steer clear of him or them when you are presented with him or them.
