Are there any “national affairs” going on that don’t attempt to insult conservatives?

Maher is still a pandering moron. What else is new?

He is an idiot, period. Furthermore, he is a relativistic idiot in that he will not call things fairly across the board, only that which benefits him at the moment.

Conservatives should be insulted. Their short sided greedy low tactics got us in this situation. We have had 8 years of bad decisions after bad decisions and now they want us to believe they have the answers. Stop gays from marrying and pray out way out this economy. You had your chance and you blew it, big time. You Tony Romo it the playoffs blew it.

Conservatives don’t insult liberals?

I like that all the interns for Fox News are the first to comment on this, or articles by Matt Taibbi. Do you get college credits? Are you allowed out of school at noon? Will your parents pay for your tuition at a 4th tier law school created by Jerry Falwell?

Jeff- No…It’s too easy. Who can resist when you have an overweight, drug-addicted, mentally-ill blowhard like Rush Limbaugh representing the party? Or Ann Coulter’s bony-ass. Or Laura Ingram the “in the closet” lesbo…
And “blood for oil”- telling the truth isn’t pandering…

BTW- I hope I didn’t offend the gay and lesbian community in my last post. I thought that by using a derogatory term, the right-wingers might know what I was refering to. I used it as an example of the hypocrisy that runs rampant through the party.

Heathen-
Just because Maher tells people what they want to hear and they respond to it, doesn’t make it the truth. His silly opinions might even come to be the dominant point of view among the media consumers who he appeals to, but this doesn’t in any way he has some sort of insight into better policy or the meaning and implication of world events. He’s just another talking head.

Heathen2002- another example of the “tolerant and accepting” Democrats.
GOD BLESS YOU

For those believing that “Liberal media” is a myth….

As Gov. Jindal prepares to give the Republican response to Obama’s address, an MSNBC host or producer was heard off camera muttering “Oh God.”
The remark came after host Keith Olbermann paused the panel’s discussion as Gov. Jindal was walking to the camera.

I heard the “Oh, God” on MSNBC – pretty sure that it nothing to do with Jindal’s giving the speech, or the idea OF a speech – rather, the highly-staged walk-in intro that Gov. Jindal and/or his handlers chose to make. I moaned at that, as well.

It is now apparent to me that conservatives are as sick as nazis- they don’t kill people, though- they just have sex with them or hate them to death.

New Rule for Maher: Stop calling yourself a libertarian when it’s obvious you’re as far left as they come. I cringe every time you refer to yourself with the “l-word”, just like when I hear Dennis Miller or Glenn Beck try to pass themselves off as libertarians.

Maher was a crappy stand up comedian and bit sitcom actor in the 80’s, now he is qualified as the voice of America? Who cares what this druggy thinks? Oh yeah the liberal dorks out there who believe what tv tells them instead of looking for the truth.

the real question being, what is the truth, where can it be found, and why is it always what I believe and not what they believe?

Hey Bill,911 was an inside job…lol

this is a guy who didn’t have his a$$ kicked enough in school..I’d love a shot to knock this big mouth out..

Jeez, people are taking Bill Maher’s silly comments awfully seriously. One might think Bill’s a qualified individual with significant credentials, rather than a comedian.

Maher, Coulter, Limbaugh, Miller, O’Reilly, Olbermann…”give ‘em all somewhere to go…”

Who said Maher’s the voice of America? Now that person is a thundering bafoon!

News flash – Maher is simply a comedian from the left that loves to make fun of closed-minded, conservative-lovin’, Republicans that take themselves waaaaay to seriously.

Just read some of these posts and you’ll quickly find out who these people are. LOL!

Hee-hee. Maher’s comments made me chuckle. Which was THE POINT. All you spewing blowhards out there need to stop taking yourself so seriously. But then again, if you did, there wouldn’t be all your silly comments for me to chuckle at, too.

Irc: Amen to that. I can’t stand Limbaugh, Moore, Coulter, Olbermann, Hannity, Matthews, Maher, O’Reilly, and all the other pompous talking heads that continue to divide our country down party lines.

Hey, Anonymous!
You’re just like all the other conservative, tight-assed, tight-walleted Republicans who just believe what they want to believe. The truth isn’t just what you believe. Who made you God? (And guess what? I don’t believe in God–and I certainly don’t believe in you or your so-called “truth”.)

I think Bill was molested by a priest. I don’t take orgainized religion seriously either, but he has some serious anger issues. And I hope all the cute, bickering conservatives and liberals keep up their fighting with one another. I very much enjoy the entertainment.

Maher is right to take on the greed of Wall Street, along with a complicit bi-partisian Congress handing out our money to Wall Street with no accontability.

Yeah, Maher’s a bit obsessed when it comes to organized religion. I prefer spirituality to dogma.

Pot can make you fat, give you the nonstop munchies. Beer (my choice) can make ya fat too.

Mort Sahl respected newspapers like George Carlin respected newspapers and acid. I consider Maher one of their descendants. And that ain’t bad.

What a freaking moron. Liberal or conservative, how can you actually listen to this idiot. That is like listening to Bill O’Reilly or actually thinking that the government controls gas prices and not OPEC!!!

Maher is a comedian. People have a problem with him because his comedy always has elements of the truth involved. He is brilliant.

he’s a moron…and he’ll be left behind for sure.

Conservative, religious-believing Republicans are vomit sandwiches

Wise guy ey?

Bill Maher and Christopher Hitchens should run for office. I’d say Hitchens for President and Maher for VP. Jesus freaks take note.

The U.S. is in dire need of a full-blown revolution. Period. It’s time.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

Bill Maher should be giving Rush a pass because they’re both one in the same, just on the other side of the fence. Both are highly opinioned and both will tell you they have the answers to what ails this country, but neither are getting in the ring. Both guys have the connections, the support and the capitol to run, but neither wants to be the ones exposed, just the ones exposing.

At least Al Frankin had the stones to throw his hat in the ring. I doubt either of these clowns do. And that is the problem with America; most people would rather sit around and complain about the work of those actually trying to make positive changes.

Yeah, their one in the same except Maher just isn’t funny any more. Getting fat and lazy though. Religulous one of longest puff pieces I ever seen on organized religion.

Edz,

does that make you a coward too, since you are ‘exposing’ those two men but not risking ‘exposure’ yourself?

See how mindless your claim is?

Bill is not funny !!

I had no idea Maher was a comedian!

Bill Maher is hilarious. So his sense of humor and jokes point out the painfully obvious, isn’t that what makes him funny? I always found humor in that which was true, i wish he would make more jokes about how far RS has fallen in the passed few years.

Bill speaks for all of us…

Maher is a self-righteous jerk, a stand-up comic posing as an intellectual. Where does he get off questioning Obama’s religious beliefs when Obama himself has been very clear (in his books) about them? He came off as petty and bitter at the Oscars about his movie not being nominated for best documentary–it wasn’t a documentary, it was a childish “let’s make fun of other people ” movie. I’m a progressive Democrat, and Maher is walking proof that jerks come in all political shapes and sizes.

Just because Maher says what he thinks, and sells what he says, dosen’t mean he belives it.

It’s ALL for sale Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t forget that.

He presents some interesting perspectives thats all.

He don’t believe in GOD. Nor do I.

he makes money saying it.

I don’t

fug it

who cares

He does not claim to be something he is not, so… big deal??

Rock on

Ron Paul wants to bring the troops home: good. Ron Paul’s for deregulation: bad.

Anonymous, your statement is false in a very big way:

govtrack.us/congress/vote.xp d?vote=h2000-540

Dr. Paul considers the Constitutionality(and arguably the morality) of the laws he votes on, and not dogmatically voting against things with the term ‘deregulation’ attached to them.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking regulation is necessarily good and deregulation is necessarily bad. Both have been employed by the banking system to push us further into this realm of Keynesianism.

One could call the abolition of the Patriot act deregulation, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing to do.

I’m “anononymous”. I didn’t punch my name in in time.

The Patriot Act moved into town while we were sleeping. Does that sound like democracy? And, unlike the previous administration, we don’t want anybody messing w/ the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.

Can’t do much outsourcing these days. The greedy have to wait.

Maher for President or Pope. It’s time for some real humor.

BILL MAHR:BIG WIND/HEAP DUST/NO RAIN

Is this list supposed to be funny? I thought this guy was a comedian. This list looks like it was written by a 5th grader. Great job Billy boy! Keep it up! A couple more like this and that religion movie and we won’t have to put up with you anymore because no one will give you a job! Awesome!

Genius! Amen! Well said!

Yes Bill M is a bit arrogant and self rightgeous. And I agree with him 99% of the time. So that makes me… If Mr Maher didn’t have such a bold, self centered personality, NO ONE would be putting out the free thinking ideas like he has.

Maher is an angry has-been groping for ratings. This show is outdated and not even marginally entertaining when you consider the lengths he’ll go to make his point. At one time the show seemed relevant because it went after a viewership that seemed apathetic. The problems this country faces are so huge, that its seems stupid and extremely trite when celebrities weigh in with their imbecilic opinions. His avowed libetrarian affiliation is a joke, especially in a time when more and more people are actually turning to real libertarianism as an alternative to the two-party system. His political philosophy is supposed to seem ambiguous, maybe even impartial, but in fact he is just another hollywood liberal calling for government authority over everything except sex and drugs. In the hope and change era, you would think we could also raise our standards for entertainment.

Everyone bickering should remember that f people wanted your opinion they would see themselves to your television show or rolling stone article about you, but in all likelihood you don’t either; he does.

Like him or dislike him, you’re dicking around on the internet, wasting your own time clicking on an article detailing the opinions of a man about whom you’ve probably already made your mind up about before even coming on here. Defeatism helps no one. Get a hobby.

Jimmy, good post! Although I like Bill a bit more than you apparently, your statement about the Libertarian affiliation is dead on. There truly is a philosophy regarding the principles that our country was founded upon that align with the Libertarian Party. No wasteful spending, no bigoted authority over others lives, and accountability for the citizens of this great country. Nonetheless, Maher is entertaining and I’ve enjoyed his liberal leaning shows for years. Don’t always agree, but it makes for good T.V.

gosh i hate him

PJ O’Rourke is a conservative, a purist, no neocon. He’s better than conservative college professors.

It’s all very simple. Bill Maher just didn’t receive the proper toilet training , that’s why he’s in so much pain, and spewing it out there for a buck. Viewers priorities are pretty screwed up if they consider what he says entertainment, and worst, taking him seriously at all.

Agree whole-heartedly with “totallydude”. Since the conservatives have started an endless war, raped the environment, ignored our neighbor Mexico and the violence there, and ruined the economy on their watch, don’t you think it’s time to make fun of those ignorant, arrogant, uninformed social misfits? They brought their troubles on themselves, along with the money they took home, and deserve to be pelted with f–bombs.

Yeah, conservatives are lacking when it comes to short-term memory. They just finished their pow wow in Washington. They never march, unless they’re carrying guns.

Why reiterate?

It’s not easy to be smart and funny at the same time. Maher accomplishes that more often than anyone. Conservatives don’t like him because he punctures their self-serving delusions and hypocracy.

How many more must die for GOP lies?

Bill needs to find a REAL Job!! IF he’s so intelligent. He’s boring. It’s not working for him & now he needs to get lost, or wait, he is LOST! the dufus!

The world has moved on, no one gives a second thought to the lame opinions of celebrities. Politically incorrect aphorisms can only be viewed as impotent and out of touch given the urgency of the actual problems that face us. I know that it was a big deal to actually speak one’s mind in the 1990s, but the world has grown up and is readily speaking its mind at every juncture. Every one has an opinion, talk is cheap, so why do we need Bill Maher?

Bill maher is genius.

I like Bill and GWB was a great foil. But right now he’s so filled with Obamagaga that he doesn’t give the same critical look at the gap between the rhetoric and reality as he did for the previous 8 years.

There will come a time when he understands that Obama’s eloquence is like pissing in your pants……..makes one feel warm, but only for a while.

Cure for insomnia – watch Religulous.
Guaranteed to put your lights out. I almost feel sorry for Bill. He is so empty inside, so void of humanity.

THAT’S A GOOD ONE. CAN ¡BRAD A AND ANGELINA ADOPT US ALL. PLEASE..

I guess some of you, like me, consider Neil Cavuto a comedian. That grating voice of his, like Bosley in the original, 1970s Charlie’s Angels series.

fan of the antichrist…just look at the fool.

I cancelled HBO because of this guy.

The fact that idiots are canceling HBO because of one guy and people are so upset with him shows how Bill Maher is shaking things up. We need someone like him that says what everyone else is thinking. By the way who cares what the Catholic church thinks. At least Bill hasn’t molested a child.

Chuck, I guess I’m an idiot too because I fail to see any intelligence in your argument.

People can’t afford HBO. Or much else.

Thanks for validating my choice Chucky. My problem isn’t with Mr. Maher, but with his viewers that take away too much from his humor. I don’t want to be an enabler. For the record, I consider myself a libertarian agnostic and if Bill were to get me into a Playboy mansion party, I would probably reconsider my HBO subscription status. Giggity.

Come on guys, I don’t agree with Bill Maher on some things … But he is funny. And he bring some valid points up. The guy is just smart. At least he is better than Rush, Hannity, Beck or any of the far right entertainers.

If Bill had “class” he “might” be funny. But that would be a stretch. He’s bitter and empty inside. Doesn’t have any ‘beliefs,’ and I suspect has abandoned his Faith a long time ago. Maybe he should examine that and not the morally ‘Right.’

We are lucky to have someone like Bill Maher who uses humor and intelligence to critique our situation- unlike these posts calling him an ‘idiot’ and a ‘moron.’ I think some have confused him with Rush Limbaugh.
