But fuck Dave too

Why for having an opinion?

Oh. the Transphobia stuff.

Yeah I still don't view that as transphobia. Once white racism against all people of color is solved I will take a closer look.

We can fight against all the bad things.

Except the racist attack on that post by Chappelle against Maher, outright supported by a commenter here. Since Chappelle is black and Maher white it’s an acceptable use of a racist attack, apparently.

Is there a shadow quote around here? I think I might have seen one. Maybe it counts as a personal attack with plausible deniability but I’m not sure? Anyone?

HughFreakingDillon · December 21

Yes, of course the term “cracker” is a racist attack when it’s directed at *checks notes* genocide supporting jewish person.

The term cracker originated as an insult towards *checks notes again* racists and bigots.

So there’s that.

*Apologies for shadow quoting a shadow quote.

Lerxst1992 · 12:01AM

And Maher has *checks notes* nothing to do with any of that in yer comment.

And Maher was *checks notes* raised catholic.

So it’s a baseless attack by Chappelle based on race. And you’re assigning Maher a religion based on your *checks notes* bigoted religious discrimination.

glad you approve racism bud. Showing off that legendary *checks notes* politeness.

As you said earlier today, “Dave telling it as it is”

Glad you believe racism is funny.

Glad you believe false accusations are funny, unless you have proof Mahers Irish ancestors who came here during the potato famine were also somehow slave owners which is the only way he’d have a “smug little cracker a$$”

Glad you think calling people that is funny.

Mahers original criticism about Chappelle was regarding freedom of speech. Glad you don’t support that for people courageous enough to disagree with your bigoted political views.

I guess I should have prefaced this thread with a warning:

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT SATAN!

That one time when Bill Maher was in the Satan Clause with Time Alien rOnCinemaAtTheCinema

Sorry, Bill!

Where did I ever say that I don’t support freedom of speech? Now who’s lying about what posters post?

I suppose you oppose the use of the term “cracker” to describe Bill? So much for freedom of speech, eh?

For the record, Chappelle calling out Maher’s hypocrisy of criticizing him for playing Saudi because Bonesaw killed one journalist while Maher stays silent on Bibi the Butcher’s killing of 200+ journalists, the majority of them Palestinians or Muslims, is “telling it like it is.” Sorry that bothers you. Poor Bill was called “a cracker.” I’m sure he’s hurt. I wonder how many times Chappelle has been called the N word, both personally in RL and professionally as part of a show, his or otherwise?

Also, for the record, fuck Saudi. For 9/11, their treatment of women and the LGTB community, their hypocrisy and buying of the current US government, and Bonesaw’s killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Any and all cultural acceptance such as F1, the comedy fest, LIV golf or Saudi wealth funds investing in Jared Dear Boy’s investment company bothers me because it legitimizes the regime. I think less of Dave and Bill Burr for playing there. Was Bill as critical of Bill as he was of Dave? Probably not.

Yeah. I did t think he needed to use that. That being said historically, that pejorative is generally punching up instead of punching down.

Let just agree both of these comedians are assholes

Your comment is completely wrong in this context. Mahers original comment regarding Chappelle was about free speech in Saudi’s Arabia . Chappelle responded with an anti white racist attack that had zero to do with mahers heritage. You had multiple posts supporting and joking about what Chappelle said in this context.

Democrats will always sprint to the safety of the two wrongs make a right when proven wrong. This was an outright racist attack, and had I not said a word, which will be the future environment here, the forum would have the original comment laughing about what Chappelle did and then a few others in support. The racist component would not have been mentioned.

this from a movement championing fairness and how liberals are so much better than everyone else and are against racism . We have two commenters essentially saying because Maher deserved it because of their bs pro Palestine illusions and one even misrepresenting mahers heritage and then lumping him in with the Jews, when his family arrived at the time of the Irish potato famine and was in fact raised catholic. Can they get more bigoted than that?

why is calling out bigotry only in one direction in places like this?

Why do you continuously lie? Multiple posts? I made the original post of “Dave telling it like it is”, not saying a lick about whether I thought it was funny or anything other than what my one sentence said. Then yes, I joked about “shadow quotes” and “personal attacks” but didn’t say a lick about “racism” and it being funny. And then I explained how Dave was pointing out Bill’s hypocrisy, particularly since I haven’t heard him condemn Bill Burr for the same egregious behaviour and has been very outspoken about defending his participation in the media.

One, checks notes, is not multiple, particularly seeing how my original post said, “Dave telling it like it is.” Whole lot of humour there, whole lot. And for the record, fuck Bill Maher.

Lets see how you spin this post as a personal attack and a shadow quote.

That link featured a racist attack and you said he’s telling it like it is. The “telling” Dave did was an inaccurate racist attack. It was right at the beginning of that video in addition to him calling Bill a motherfvck*r. Is that also telling it like it is? Is that how you treat people? For non democrats, I guess we know the answer.

Why can’t you just accept the truth? Your blind faith in loyalty to your side nailed you and you don’t have what it takes to admit it.

As per usual, you’ve deflected and moved the goal posts. While you assume I posted “Dave telling it like it is” referred to his racist comment, it was in fact posted due to his rightful calling out of Bill Maher’s hypocrisy as it relates to the score of who kills the most journalists, SA, 1 or Israel, 200+, while Bill was critical of SA and silent or outright supportive of Israel and their genocide. That you focused on the racism and racist comment, and not the context of the point Dave was making, which taken as a whole is brilliant, is telling indeed. Fuck Jamal Khashoggi and double fuck the journalists killed by Israel, eh? Poor Bill Maher, how will he ever continue on without the support on Pearl Jam’s fan forum?

If criticism of Israel for the killing of journalists and their genocide of Palestinians makes me a racist, then yea, I’m racist. I admit it, happy now?

Here’s some context, but you know this:

More than 240 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the Hamas attack on 7 October that started the war. Many of them, including the prominent Palestinian-American Shireen Abu Akleh, were killed by Israeli snipers while wearing a press vest. Jon Williams, executive director of the Rory Peck Trust, which supports independent journalism, said: “Palestinian journalists in Gaza have been the world’s eyes and ears and they have paid a terrible price. Many of them were not journalists at the start of the war but, as one has fallen, the other has picked up their camera and continued their work.”

why is calling out bigotry only in one direction in places like this?

I mean, you are clearly doing it. I even agreed with you. So its getting called out. Sorry everyone doesn't agree with you 100% of the time and always

I'm just not getting up in arms about it because, you know, hundreds of years of slavery. Its ok to let it slide because white people have historically been shitty to black and brown people.
