Bill Maher on White Obama vs Black Obama, Rich Guy Romney, knuckle dragging voters, more (2012)

Author: NewsRadio 840 WHAS (WHAS-AM) January 5, 2026 Duration: 13:30
REAL TIME host Bill Maher made another visit to the Terry Meiners Show in 2012 in the midst of the Obama re-election cycle vs. Mitt Romney. He said he's "too toxic" for President Obama to appear on his show despite his regular visits to other late night comedy shows.

Maher jabbed away at conservative voters, the empty suit of Romney-palooza, and defending Rush  Limbaugh's right to deliver his views when liberals were applying advertiser boycotts to have him removed from the air.

Maher would appear at the Kentucky Center for the Arts the next weekend during May 2012.
