Maher: Too bad Cheney didn't die

[DesertFox]

In 2002, ABC made the decision to not renew Bill Maher's contract after he made some disgraceful comments on his program "Politically Incorrect" concerning America's military response to 9/11. After what transpired on "Real Time" Friday, the heads of HBO should be equally outraged, if not more.

As the discussion moved to the attempted assassination of Vice President Cheney last week, Maher asked his panel why it was necessary for the Huffington Post to remove comments by readers concerning their disappointment that the attempt failed. As the conversation ensued, Maher said one of the most disgraceful and irresponsible things uttered on a major television program since Bush was elected.

The highlighted comments by Maher may cause one to overlook the one by Bawny Fwank: They said the bomb was wasted (laughter and applause).

Hardy, har har!

What became of that fatass blockage, Julianne Malveaux, who famously said of Clarence Thomas, "You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person."

How's that diet going, Julie?

[Lubbock]

So . . . now will they shut up about Ann?

This goes without anyone raising an eyebrow, while the REPUBLICANS are having hissy fits about Coulter's "faggot" comment.

Exactly, and that's why half of my anger over these sideshow events is reserved for gutless Republicans!

[Patriot Heart]

Why does anyone still watch that nauseating excuse for humanity? He is on par with the miserable failure in my eyes! (anyone want to fix the miserable failure link for me?? I don't know how)

[DesertFox]

Shoot the Republicans. Hang the Democrats. A pox on both their houses.

Actually, I would prefer a fire in both their houses. If that can't be be done, it'd be neat to see a tornado sweep thru and pick up their houses with them inside. Or a devastating flood -- the Corps of Engineers could go in ahead of time and fix everything to fail. Or maybe somebody could plant predators and aliens in their houses, and they could fight over them.

[DoctorDoom]

... (anyone want to fix the miserable failure link for me?? I don't know how)Google-bombing no longer works, ergo the links to Moore's site no longer have the desired result.

<hr>
As for Maher, there are most likely many pieces of rat dung who find his despicable "humor" amusing. And of course the libs will wail about "freedom of speech" as long as the speech is by libs.

[Maggie_T]

Oh, that's right. I forgot the tantrums of disappointment thrown by he left at the "insurgent's" failure to kill Cheney.

BTW, Ann just said that her remark about Edwards was a joke as she would never insult gays in that way. :evilgrin:

Now. Maher said his remark about Cheney was "just a joke," too.

Let's see how many liberal Pharisees (pardon the redundance) find Ann's joke as humorous as Maher's.

Any bets?

Amen !!

Maher is a great example of why I oppose "Partial Birth Abortions" ...

some of the babies live after having their brains sucked out ...

Why does anyone still watch that nauseating excuse for humanity? He is on par with the miserable failure (http://www.michaelmoore.com) in my eyes! (anyone want to fix the miserable failure link for me?? I don't know how)Does anyone watch Maher (besides the news and political commentary junkies, that is)?

I've "fixed" the "miserable failure" link, even though "Google-bombing" is not supposed to work anymore (probably because it got to working too well, if you know what I mean).

[Maggie_T]

Does anyone watch Maher (besides the news and political commentary junkies, that is)?




Well, the drive-by media certainly doesn't ... judging by their utter failure to be outraged by such hate speech. :whistle:

[MrSanity]

So . . . now will they shut up about Ann?

This goes without anyone raising an eyebrow, while the REPUBLICANS are having hissy fits about Coulter's "faggot" comment.I was thinking the same thing.

[The_Elucidator]

Bill Maher = liberal trailer trash! The guy makes as much sense as a urinal in the ladies bathroom.

Maher is dangerous in that he achieves the unthinkable: he constitutes a good argument for abortion. :eek:

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

. . . trailer trash . . .

Hey, I resemble that remark! :smirky:

[Timberwolf]

Mahar's problem is he thinks he's relevant. A more hapless yutz, I've not met. He makes my neighbor's nervous chihuahua seem a rocket scientist in comparison...ugly, bug-eyed little rat is a lot better lookin', too (the dog, that is).

[Riverboat]

chihuahua. . . bug-eyed little ratHey, I take credit for coining that phrase. You owe me royalties, by friend!

[Patrick Henry]

No one seemed to be outraged when Imus remarked that Rumsfeld should be killed on his show while talking to David Gregory of NBC. I e-mailed the show for a copy of the transcript - never got a response.

As long as the trailer has skirting and there aren't 20 stray dogs living under it along with an old car on blocks in the front yard you ain't trailer trash darlin'. :D

Maher is POLITICALLY INEPT.

[Rhino]

Fox News has this as a main headline now.

[DesertFox]

Phil Maher is today's Dick Cavett. Cavett at least was articulate, and he did have some sense of decorum. But he was a relevant then as Maher is now, which means he's -- a space cadet.

[MrSanity]

Fox News has this as a main headline now.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256650,00.htmlI like how the link lets you switch the picture to Ann without going to a different story. :D

"He was pretty much just stating what the market said that day...." Bruce Hornsby in concert @ alabama..j.ust as bad i t hink

[Tazeeyore]

Maher is one good reason for same sex marriage or why some animals eat their young!

[DesertFox]

He's a slam dunk argument for post-natal abortion.

[DeclinetoState]

I'm pro-life, so I can't favor abortion, even of yutzes and dunces. However, Maher does make a case for giving some boys a very radical circumcision.

Very radical.

[d'urville]

Maher is POLITICALLY INEPT.

Yep. He is. He is trying to "defend himself" in, of all places, the HuffPO:

Don't get me wrong: I've never joined the Dick Cheney Fan Club. But what I said Friday -- and what I believe -- is that the Vice President has presided over a bungled execution of a war in which thousands of our bravest continue to die. And I believe that were he not in power, our troops would likely come home sooner. But I don't wish him dead.

Ironically, I made my comments during a discussion about Free Speech, which is one of the chief reasons that I love my country.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/what-i-didnt-say_b_42687.html

All he says is that the headline quoted wasn't literal and claims to "love his country" again, saying it doesn't make it true.

[Rhino]

Wouldn't matter even if it was true. The free speech comment doesn't hold water either. Just because he is free to say it doesn't mean he shouldn't have to deal with the consequences of saying it. I just love it when idiots like that try to wrap themselves in the 'free speech' blanket.

[BuckeyeMike]

I wish Maher was a DEAD FAGGOT!

[Timberwolf]

Now ya gotta check yersef inta rehab, Mikey...:biggrin:

[DoctorDoom]

Does it get any more foul than this? During the 8 AM ET hour of Don Imus's show this morning he and Mike Barnicle fantasized about how various Republicans would react to being hung on the gallows.Imus, Barnicle Fantasize About Republicans on Gallows: Cheney Would 'Wet His Pants' (http://newsbusters.org/node/9930)

Maher should be more careful. We certainly have FOS in this country, but there's only 6 degrees of separation between Maher's comment "Too bad Cheney didn't die" to "Cheney must die"

He better watch out because the former is getting close to the latter and could morph into 'inciting'.

[Rhino]

Nah. He's a liberal celebrity. He'd just use his "Get Out of Blame Free" card.

He says the vilest things and then somehow convinces the majority of his listeners that he didn't really say what he said. (re: 9/11 and Dick Cheney comments)

Sheeeeeeeeesh!

Put Maher in the same cell as Charles Manson...til death do they part. (somehow I think Maher would have a convert...they way their thoughts parallel in a weird way)
