I think both are very sane and know exactly what they are doing and getting very rich at the same time. It is truly astounding to me that you equate the two instances equally after the length of time Rush spent on this topic last week and his intended target's decency in wishing to participate in public discourse in such a brave fashion. What Maher said impugned individual public figures and only insulted them. What Rush did was attack viciously a young woman based upon a lie about her sexual habits and he also attacked every single female using contraceptives outside of marriage in the nation. But do carry on with your cathartic apology, you sound a lot like Rush in your sincerity.
The Republican party is in full damage control...Limbaugh's comments are dragging the party down.....They even called out Sarah Palin to help ....No doubt they hope this whole episode will pass...quickly....No doubt Limbaugh will be told to not do anything this idiotic again....Stay on message...Attack the President...Leftists..etc....A terrible week for the Republican party all in all

Both rude, crude and uncalled for.
One from a leading voice of a political party, one from a comedian.
One an off-hand one-time slur directed at a politician, one a slur repeated 53 times over the course of 3 days to "punish" a student who dared to disagree.

We should move on....since none of it matters one bit compared to the dire and dismal state our economy is in and considering the growing threats from our foreign enemies....as well as our enemies within, the DemocRat Party.

Yes, with a difference; Maherwas speaking thus about public officials, people who can at least grow a thick skin. Limbaugh was speaking about a private citizen. The attack was the same, but the victims were different. If Limbaugh had attacked the Sec. of State with those words, I'm not sure I would have objected.

Bleh....I think I am just giving up.
I beleive I will adopt the Liberal "standard," and state that BOTH men were wrong....BUT....Bill Maher is a Comedian on HBO, who is not a major figure, and the women he called out were "Public Figures."
So, that makes it "okay."
Rush is insincere in his apology, because All-knowing Liberals have told me so.
Oh, and Rush is also my "Godhead," again, because some Liberal said so.
I'm gonna take a few days off.
Gonna try to find some GEEKS or Sports nuts, and have some kind of conversation/debate, in which the person to whom I am speaking does not continually change the "Standards" based on what serves him or her at the moment.
For my part, the Liberals HAVE taught me ONE THING: NOTHING is "off-limits...."
