Maher: ‘Creepy To Me We Can’t Even Speak in Our Own House Anymore’

‘People still have the right to be an ass, you know?’

Bill Maher On Sterling: "Creepy To Me We Can't Even Speak In Our Own House Anymore" (​RealClearPolitics)

CHRIS HAYES, HOST: I'm really curious to hear your reaction to the announcement by the commissioner of the league today that Donald Sterling is banned for life after they verified the voice on the tape saying those things was, in fact, him. 

BILL MAHER: Well, it is very hard to talk about this guy on MSNBC because I can't say (assh***), can I? Is that a word -- okay. So, I'll call him an ass. I think it's a great thing that all of America agrees and can gather around that fact because I have lived through a number of racial comment controversies and it wasn't with always that way. So, it's their league, they can do what they want. 

People still have the right to be an ass, you know? And it is creepy that you get recorded in your own home. But he's a strange kind of racist, I'll say that and I think it's really all about the girl like showing up with black men. It's still that black men are taking our women thing. That's what's at the bottom of this.
