Bill Maher confronted by Ice Cube for using N-word

Bill Maher is a comedian who occasionally is funny. 
In fact, I had no problem with his usage of the N-word in the context he used it in.  I got the joke and thought it was genuinely funny.  But, the Left has a strange habit of moving the goal posts on who can say the word and when.     

NY DailyNews reports call it his Maher-a culpa.

After getting welcomed with a standing ovation from the "Real Time" audience, Bill Maher set about having a discussion on race, with his use of the N-word last week front and center.

"I did a bad thing," the host confessed to guest Michael Eric Dyson. "For black folks, that word, I don't care who you are, it's caused pain. It doesn't matter that it was not said in malice, it caused pain and that's why I apologized. I'm not that big of an a--hole."
