GOPAC Prez Tells Bill Maher ‘Right-Wing’ Is ‘Name-Calling:’ VIDEO

Right-wingers can be very thin-skinned. I’m sorry, homo sapiens with political beliefs on what is known as the conservative side of the spectrum can be very thin-skinned. Just look at David Avella, president of the Republican political action committee and a guest on Bill Maher’s weekly talk show last night.

Though Avella admits President Obama’s inaugural address had some ideas that the GOP can get behind, he accused the commander-in-chief of hypocritical name-calling.

“There are many things Republicans, thematically, can get behind,” Avella said, before explaining that the president also demanded lawmakers not to treat “name-called as reasoned debate.”

Avella went on, “This is a week [after] he sit [sic] and name-called and was critical of Republicans in his last press conference.” Asked what name the Republicans were allegedly called, Avella replied, “right-wing Republican.” Maher broke the news, “I got so many worse than that.”

Pressed for an alternate term, Avella said he would have preferred the president said, “conservative” or “my friends on the other side of the aisle.”

Meanwhile, former DNC head Howard Dean told Maher he thought President Obama’s inauguration speech hit all the right (read: correct) notes.

“I thought the speech was something Americans out to embrace, which
was equal rights for all Americans,” he said. After the applause faded, he added, “And it’s about time the
President of the United States stood up to all this crazy crap on the
right wing.”
