Herbert 1, Maher 0

2. Yes Bill,

we know how you feel about words...

wonder if he'll call a mentally challenged child a retard on air again ?

[Sky Masterson]

3. He lost a show for what he said after 9/11

I get why he sees the situation from a different perspective, But I think he's wrong as hell on this.

[Quantess]

4. I agree with Bill Maher frequently, but not this time.

He is dead wrong here.

5. Hey Bill, if it's just a word, why didn't you say it??

[YOHABLO]

6. I found the talking over each other disturbing. Paula is just an ignorant human being .. >>

like so many here in the U.S. If she used the ''word'' in the past and now understands how inappropriate it is to use it .. it was a learning experience .. long getting there on her part, but ..none the less. The ''N'' word is used in Gangsta Rap all the time .. but it's always within context, and always said by a black person. So is that wrong? I don't know.

7. According to Herbert it is. He said he hates gangsta rap.
