To his credit, Bill Maher actually isn't. He has called out the left for not accepting Limbaugh's apology and moving on, and for generally being a bunch of oversensitive, hypocritical babies. I think his experience with losing Politically Incorrect is probably why he's sensitive to this sort of attempt to silence someone. (I think it's also part of the reason why he went from being a "libertarian" to a full blown leftist, although he was probably just more of a libertine than any sort of true libertarian anyway. But he at least used to pay lip service to the idea of a limited government until losing his show drove him to the brink of insanity and, not coincidentally, right into the arms of the Democratic Party out of pure spite.) Plus he knows that he says far worse than Limbaugh on a daily basis, and the clown nose and his left wing politics can only provide him with so much cover.
