This post is not a "gotcha" post against Bill Maher.
His use of the word 'Ape' to describe the field of Republicans that will challenge Obama is merely an example of the use of this slanderous word for political purposes against one's enemy. Nothing more than this.
In as much as the use of this political metaphor in a group that includes a Black man has not generated a centella of outrage among the usual suspects simply means that their "faux outrage" when Obama is even hinted in such terms is merely motivated by their own ideological biases and bigotry.

Again - though I believe that Bill Maher is an ideological bigot, fully aware of how "Blackness" is deployed into the 'American Political Domain' for indictment purposes - I actually give him credit for knowing that in the case of Herman Cain - the "Free Range Negro" while he had better NOT reference Obama in such terms - he will receive no push back against Cain.
It stands to reason that many Black Progressive-Fundamentalists would say that since Herman Cain does not believe that RACISM(!!!) stands as the prevailing force against Black people today - he deserves anything that he gets to slap some sense into him - they are totally wrong in their analysis.
You see - it is not up to Herman Cain to maintain the contract which defines the acceptable words exchanged between Blacks and non-Blacks.
The best means of testing the veracity of this desire to remove racial slights against Black people is to watch how those who are not in good standing with the 'Black Progressive-Fundamentalist Enforcers" and what they say to their White Progressive Cheshire Fox Joint Venture Partners.
The Root.com: Bill Maher has liberal views, lots of black friends and a politically incorrect sense of humor. Does all that make his off-color Obama jokes OK?.
