Bill Maher was, has, and always will be socialist, commie scum. No one should on this forum should pay any attention to him. He's a pompous, arrogant elitist who thinks he's smarter than everyone else and that America is the worst and dumbest place on earth. Ron Paul should refuse to go on Maher's show ever again, especially for treating his son like this. It's a big fucking stab in the back from this worthless "comedian."

¿Did you forgot when Maher attacked and ridiculed Ron Paul because of his stance on the Civil War?

What is happening is that the democrats liked Ron Paul because they saw him as a way to undermine the Republicans. But now that libertarianism is starting to be popular in both "sides" they dont like him so much, because its making them appear as the liers and the snakes they are. They are loosing followers and they dont like it anymore.

This people are propaganda machines, and they only gave support to Ron Paul because they though it fit their interests. But they have realized it has backfired on them.

[maqsur]

He admitted, in so many words, that he 'used' to be libertarian a long time ago, but now he is not. He said it early during the panel discussion.

wtf is with all the hufpo links?! Yes we get it, the left does not like Rand.


NEWS FLASH! THEY NEVER DID!

[sluggo]

Any chance we can start breaking all HuffPo, KOS, and other anti-freedom links?

It doesn't appear that they want our traffic, I see no reason to give it to them.

Just cut and paste what is relevant and move on.

I was hoping the left might appreciate an anti-war, anti-drug war, anti-patriot act Republican

[Meatwasp]

On and on the negative posts are flooding the forum. who cares what the left thinks.

[KramerDSP]

Amen.

I think the problem some of us have is we still have our eyes on the Presidential races and general electability. The people on this forum, myself included, who do NOT think Palin is electable, are seeing Rand being portrayed as the Male Palin. I have to keep reminding myself that Rand is in a race for KY Senator, not for President. I was hoping we could get past the false left-right paradigm, and I'm mildly dissapointed that all of this Rand business is just solidifying that divide between the "left" and the "right". However, I also realize that Conway and MSNBC pretty much started all of this.

[torchbearer]

Except when he talks about religion

there is enough material available on the fallacy of organized religion that mahers work isn't really necesary.

[catdd]

The more these liberal devils come out against Rand the better it will be for him in the Senate race. Ky as already proven to be immune to the national liberal news media.

[Golding]

This is just a sign of the joke that TV newz has become, particularly when it comes to politics. Imagine, we have people that are running for an office that literally vote on bills that may influence the lives of every American, and they do so repeatedly over a term lasting years. Yet somehow the viewing audience is being expected to take seriously the political commentary of a comedian.

Maher is worth a laugh (though when it comes down to it, Maher never came across as all that funny to me), but not much more than that.

[RonPaulCult]

That last joke was pretty funny. Have a sense of humor guys. Don't you see that we are WINNING? We are BIG TIME now! It's a good sign if the comedians are making fun of us.

[Fozz]

I like the joke about Palin making it through med school.

[Brian4Liberty]

He admitted, in so many words, that he 'used' to be libertarian a long time ago, but now he is not. He said it early during the panel discussion.

Yeah, he admits that his only concern when he called himself a libertarian years ago was sex and drugs.

That episode was a race baiting orgy. Maher was trying to portray all libertarians and Tea Party activists as rich white racists, who only believe in "liberty" when it benefits them. He had a guy from NPR that was nothing more than a race baiting idiot. The surprise was that he had a women from Somalia who was a knowledgeable and well-spoken libertarian. It seemed that Maher wasn't expecting that, and had hoped that she would jump in with the racism. She said "I am a libertarian", and after that, she got very little time...

And yes, that BP comment is already coming back at Rand. "Rand is defending BP and big evil corporations". :rolleyes:

[QueenB4Liberty]

I never liked him.

Exactly.

What a hypocrite! Maher is a huge supporter of Israel, we should ask him if Israel should address their civil rights issues!

This morning on C-SPAN was a wave of Liberal/Leftist/Ignorant callers, mostly minorities on Washington Journal slamming Rand

Tomorrow morning will tell the tale... the game plan: Liberal Collectivists Channels will guarantee Minority Pundits to play the victim an a well prepared and rehearsed Talking points.

Here's the good news. Almost nobody who watches Bill Maher is going to be voting for Rand anyway.

[amy31416]

They won't even elect an anti-war, anti-drug war, anti-patriot act democrat. Having a guy who espouses those beliefs who's Republican would make their collective heads explode and expose them for the unprincipled frauds that **many** of them are. (Not all, of course.)

I mean, Code Pink did stop protesting the Afghanistan war when one of their nice leaders explained that we're actually helping all of the poor, repressed women over there (sometimes by ending their "suffering" with a predator drone strike, but that's no mind.)

And they bought that.

[silentshout]

Bill Maher changes his mind based on the day. Seriously, he has Gary Johnson on and agreed with him and many of his views line up with Rand's.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

And they bought that.

But, surprisingly, not Cindy Sheehan. I have a great deal of respect for her because she stood by her principles, unlike other faux anti-war douchebags.

Some do. I do! Many are brainwashed, just like on the right. most people honestly just do not care. seems like so many of my friends are just fine with the wars now that Obama is in power and they are happy. Or they just don't think about it because they trust Obama and actually think he's "working on it."

[amy31416]

But, surprisingly, not Cindy Sheehan. I have a great deal of respect for her because she stood by her principles, unlike other faux anti-war douchebags.

Absolutely nothing wrong with giving credit where it's due. I always have to remember that it was the pro-war right wing who smeared her as a nutcase...ironically, now some on the left parrot that same bullshit.

Should she have been a good girl and shut her mouth when her son was callously used and killed for lies, empire and power? I don't think so.

Let's be honest: He's not exactly trumpeting these key points. In fact, it would go completely past 99% of them because he won't even allude to it because he's been so busy placating the neocons. For better or for worse, he's using the left/right paradigm to his advantage and isn't trying to appeal to liberals even a little.

Kentucky isn't a very liberal state is it?

[jmdrake]

Except when he talks about religion

It never ceases to amaze me how people can follow a Christian like Ron Paul and hate religion so much. Maher is a douche and an idiot on a lot of subjects including religion.

^This. And while I understand the strategy, it's a shame he has to use it. When I had my own reservations about Ron with regard to his statements about the CRA, his stances on other issues helped me get past it. And that's why Rand had to take a different stand on the CRA. Otherwise he'd come across as a hypocrite and racist. Let's face it. Most of the people in KY couldn't give a rip about "property rights". I Rand was running on a platform of "I think property owners in Kentucky should be able to grow all of the marijuana for their own personal use that they wish" do anyone think he would have gotten past the primary?

[sevin]

Damn, Rand really is the #1 target right now. Makes me feel even more confident that we were right to support him!

[catdd]

They're afraid of the Tea Party because it threatens their big government agenda and Rand is their new target.

[RM918]

Kentucky isn't a very liberal state is it?

I'm not saying it won't win him the seat, but I am saying that I'm not sure liberals will be much more likely to vote for him on ideological grounds more than any other Republican because his social liberalism has been pretty well-hidden or downplayed.

[Bman]

Bill's problem that he is the religious nutbag that he constantly complains about. Only difference is that he bow and worships big socialist government.

[JustinTime]

I liked Maher in the 90s, on his old ABC show. He was always unpredictable, right up til the end when he famously said the 9/11 hijackers were brave, you never knew what he would say.

Now, the guy is standard left, totally bland, like the left's version of Hannity.

[ClayTrainor]

Yup. The state is an organization that attempts to dictate morality, like any religion. Instead of religious texts, you have legislation and constitutions. Instead of priests and clerics you have politicians. Instead of the church, you have the state.

It's always amusing to me to see atheists advocating big government solutions. The blatant hypocrisy is profound.

Fuck Maher. Fuck Maddow. Fuck MSNBC also with a 10 foot battering ram.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

I got dumber watching that fucknut Dyson equate Libertarianism (and by extension The Free Market) with BP (a government backed 'private corporation') and Wall Street. Fucking douchebag doesn't understand that Libertarians DON'T want the government propping up businesses.
