Bill Maher Drops N-Word on Larry King Live (Video)

On : 2010 Sep 18

Bill Maher dropped the n-word during an interview on Larry King Live Tuesday.

Maher, known for his outspoken political and religious views, was discussing about the upcoming GOP debates to take place before the 2012 presidential election, when he uttered the "n-word."

According to the CNN transcripts he said "How are they [the right-wing] going to out fire-breathe each other? I mean where this rhetoric has gone to at this point? It's only 2010. And we're having Newt Gingrich, as we were talking about before, calling [the president] an anti-colonial Luo tribesman. Luo tribesman."

He continued "That's the new Kenyan, Larry. And Kenyan, of course, was code for [the n-word]. But that's where they are. They can't say it out loud. But that's where this whole campaign is going to be."

Earlier in the day, the "Real Time With Bill Maher" host received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He used the word in the context, not as an insult, but his choice of word could have been better.

As an African American female, I say hurrah!  Finally a white male who is not pretending to see exactly what is going on with the GOP & the tea partyers, and to even go a step farther by calling it what it is on National T.V.  Good for you Bill.  Blacks aren't offended by the 'N' word itself. We are offended when we are called that as a put-down, and in an offensive way!  Bill wasn't calling anyone the 'N' word, he was just stating it the way the GOP & the tea partyers sees African Americans and our President.   Go Bill!
