should have the american public have a thick skin and gotten over it
 
What "crazy ass shit" are you referring to?

Hassellbeck had a chip on her shoulder because she didn't like the joke Maher told about her. Fair enough but everything is fair game in a democratic society with laws that protect free speech. If nothing else, you induce irrationality by removing that legal right.

I agree.

She needs to get off her high horse and stop being such a smug bitch IMHO. She could have said "I didn't appreciate your joke about me," and not made a federal case about it. But she had to act like a freaking martyr. If she had it her way, a LOT of things would be controlled/censored.

I remembered this (wiki)....

ABC decided against renewing Maher's contract for Politically Incorrect in 2002, after he made a controversial on-air remark shortly after the September 11 attacks.[15] He agreed with his guest, conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza, that the 9/11 terrorists did not act in a cowardly manner (in rebuttal to President Bush's statement calling 9/11 hijackers cowards). Maher said, "We have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from two thousand miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly. You're right." Maher later clarified that his comment was not anti-military in any way whatsoever, referencing his well-documented longstanding support for the American military.

this is something I didnt know In the same year, Maher was widely criticized for comparing dogs to retarded children. He apologized for his comments.[19]
(I wouldnt doubt he said that.)

I like Bill maher but sometimes he go to far with his shit
