Controversy sells. Bill Maher and his staff knows this very well. He also has a way of ranting on a tangent after he has said something totally stupid. Does he do this to try and take the heat off of him for a moment or is it to get more attention? ($$ and money $$) Take a look at the article below.

Bill Maher finds six black men to deem Matt Drudge racist [VIDEO]

On his weekly show on Friday night, HBO host Bill Maher suggested that the content that appears on the Drudge Report obviously demonstrates “racism in America.”

In objecting to accusations of racism against Gwyneth Paltrow for a a June 1 tweet with the heading “Ni**as in paris for real,” Maher directed his audience to Matt Drudge as a foil for, in his mind, actual racism. (Hey Maher, did you ever read that word on the Drudge Report)

Maher’s evidence of Drudge’s alleged racism came in the form of six images of black men, which appeared on the webmaster’s website, the Drudge Report, during the month of April.

“The problem with racism is Matt Drudge,” Maher said. “I pick from Matt Drudge’s website — just this, over a month we monitored this. (See what I said about him and his staff) Just show some of the pictures that were on — there, Mike Tyson looking like he’s going to eat your head. (So if you show a picture of an angry black man then that makes you racist. I guess Danny Glover in the Lethal weapon movies is racist then because he even shoots a white guy with a nail gun) Oh yes, Louis Farrakhan — because he’s so relevant now. (If he continues to preach hate and division he is relevant) Oh, and Marion Barry, he’s in the news also. (Marion is in the news because of his stupid statement about Asians) Oh yes, Rev. Wright, because he matters to your life so much. (Another preacher of hate) This is who appears on the Drudge Report. Oh yes, and there’s Al Sharpton telling Eric Holder what he should do, and Michael Jordan angry, because that’s how we all remember him. This is racism in America.” (I bet the people that marched in the south in the fifties and sixties wish that's all they had to go through having their pictures displayed on the Internet with a few captions added. If this really is racism then I am a Scottish bagpiper)

While Maher mocked the images, he neglected to provide context for the stories Drudge attached to the pictures — nor did Maher explain why he went all the way back to the month of April for his examples.

Additionally, the HBO host overplayed the images’ prominence, as shown from research based on the Drudge Report Archives:

The Mike Tyson image accompanied an April 12 story in which the former boxer expressed disgust at the fact that George Zimmerman, the Florida man charged in the murder of Trayvon Martin, had not yet been shot.
The Louis Farrakhan picture was attached to an April 17 story in which the black nationalist heaped praise on conservative commentator Pat Buchanan — calling him a “great Republican.”
On April 5, a picture of Marion Barry was featured atop a story of the D.C. Council member and former D.C. mayor expressing anger at the District’s Asian-American community for opening businesses in the city, instead of African Americans. “We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,” Barry said. “They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”
The picture of MSNBC host Al Sharpton and Attorney General Eric Holder appeared on April 11, with a story about Holder praising the left-wing activist for his efforts — protesting and rallying — on behalf of slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s picture was featured with an April 10 story about the president’s former pastor claiming that “white supremacy” is driving “world policy” and that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas worships “some other god.
April 27’s Michael Jordan picture appeared with a story about how the Charlotte Bobcats’ basketball team owner presided over the “NBA’s worst team ever.”

I wonder if it is getting too hot in the kitchen for Maher. This is a great way to get America to look the other way after he made a mess by having their eyes focused on someone else like Drudge.

Is there anything else stupid that you would like to say Bill? Please do, but man up and accept the consequences.

These actions point out that Maher is either an evil genius or a mad scientist that understands and manipulates human emotions for his benefit either way I bet they end up helping ratings for his show on HBO (Hell's Box Office). It really is too close to call.
