A week after calling former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a "dumb t***" vulgar insult for women, comedian Bill Maher went all the way and called Palin the c-word, adding, "There's just no other word for her."
The Dallas Voice (The Premier Media Source for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual) Texas) reporting on Maher's appearance Sunday night at the Winnspear Opera House Sunday night, cheered Maher using the crude sexist slur against the 2008 Republican party vice presidential nominee as an act of "fearlessness":
It’s that fearlessness — he acknowledged that some people would probably be uncomfortable with some of his remarks about religion, not to mention calling Sarah Palin a “c***” (“there’s just no other word for her”) — that makes Maher the most dangerous person in comedy.
The audience at the Winnspear was descibed by the Voice as "largely gay (and certainly gay-friendly)", which might explain Maher's fearlessness in attacking a conservative, Christian, married mother of five in the most vulgar, personal and sexist way.
When Maher was first being criticized for calling Palin the t-word, Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters asked:
Is the universal media hatred for this woman so pervasive that it's now acceptable for a man to call her that?
Can the dreaded C-word be far behind?
Sadly, it didn't take long for Sheppard to be proven right.
