Conservative idiot heckles Bill Maher during show, and gets thrown out. Later claims that he got mad because Maher called Sarah Palin's son a "retard." Well you know what THAT means!

Okay so this is how this incident was described by a Las Vegas reporter:

Former Las Vegas TV personality Ron Futrell was escorted out of liberal comedian Bill Maher’s show at the Palms on Saturday after a heckling incident. 

Futrell, an outspoken conservative known for his Twitter rants, told the Review-Journal he was offended that Maher mocked special- needs individuals by using the “r word” against Sarah Palin’s special-needs son. 

“I’ve got a son with special needs,” Futrell said. “It didn’t surprise me that Maher said it. It surprised me that a lot of people laughed at that joke.” 

Futrell said he moved down from his original seats in The Pearl concert venue to “about the 50th row” to engage Maher. 

Futrell, a former sports anchor and daytime anchor at ABC affiliate KTNV-TV, Channel 13, before he was fired in 2008, chided Maher for a joke about Halliburton, the oil field services giant. 

“Halliburton? It’s 2013,” Futrell said several times, until he got Maher’s attention. 

Responding to Futrell, Maher said something to the effect of Halliburton still being a major corporation in 2013 that was ready to start the next war so it could start ripping off the government again and billing taxpayers for $45 cases of soda. 

Still addressing Futrell, Maher then added what sounded like “you wack job.” 

When Maher returned to his stand-up, Futrell continued to make comments while typing on his camera phone. 

A male member in the audience stood up in front of Futrell and said, “Excuse me, we came here to hear the show not you.” 

When Futrell continued to react out loud, the audience member went to get security as Futrell started shouting, “Who’s the president? Who’s the president?”

After that Futrell was escorted out by security. Gee, really?

Okay well as it turns out this Futrell guy has his own blog and seems to be a professional conservative asshole of some kind, and an attention whore in his own right.

This was how he rationalized his actions:

He didn’t consider it as heckling, he said. 

“I saw it as commentary. I went on an LDS mission to Ireland. I know heckling.”

Okay I stand corrected this guy is a professional MORMON conservative asshole, who seems to feel that interrupting a comedian during his show is NOT heckling. So I stand corrected again, this guy is a professional Mormon conservative RETARDED asshole.

So far there are no corroborating reports that Maher did indeed call Trig a retard. And I have to admit that it does not SEEM likely that he would. Not because he cares about being politically correct (See what I did there?) but because it doesn't seem like it would be funny.

However corroborating evidence or not, this one claim by a guy who seems to love to stir up trouble was all it took to rouse a certain Grizzled Mama:

Hey bully, on behalf of all kids whom you hatefully mock in order to make yourself feel big, I hope one flattens your lily white wimpy a#*.

I'm in your neck of the woods this weekend, little Bill. Care to meet so I can tell you how I really feel? shar.es/wLpR6

As we all know Plain hates her some Bill Maher, and has been freaking out that nobody will talk about her anymore, so the opportunity to both attack Maher AND get some sympathetic attention is too much for a certain Tundra Twit to let go by.

Getting back to this Futrell character it is important to note that he took the opportunity to not only attack Maher, but the "liberal" audience as well for laughing at the joke.

Maher chose to make a joke about Palin’s son, Trig and in the process he used the “R” word to describe this 5 year old special needs boy. Of course, since Trig is Palin’s son, he is a target of the left. Special needs be damned, there are jokes to be made by “caring compassionate” liberals. I was so disgusted and a bit surprised that I forgot the exact joke. Perhaps he saves this joke for live audiences only. The audience of more supposed compassionate, caring leftists loved the joke and roared with laughter.

He  "forgot the exact joke?"

You know if I had been so upset by a joke that I got myself thrown out of a comedy show, I would be able to recite that joke from memory for the next thirty years.

I mean it just seems the details of such an event would stay with you for awhile, don't you agree?

By the way I follow Maher on Twitter and as of yet he has made NO mention of this kerfuffle. So I am taking all of this in with a big old grain of salt.

Let's see what more we learn about this as the day goes on. Though it is important to note that both Futrell and Palin got out of it what they wanted to get out of it.
