Bill Maher: Calls GOP “The Rise of the Party of the Apes” and then singles out Allen West?

Allen West: "Dude, you need to chill out..."*  
*added comment for sarcastic effect

This is no surprise, but Bill Maher is completely losing it.  Could you imagine the outrage if a conservative pundit said such a thing about a black Democratic politician or the Democratic Party?
Twitchy has more.  

Update:
And yes, it the GOP who are apparently racists for not keeping Allen West in his place.  I guess sort of how the Democrats did with Cory Booker.
