Anyone see this last night? It's pretty hilarious. Maher was getting scant applause most of the interview ranting against guns and the 2nd amendment, then at about the 5:30 mark the audience turns against him, so he insults them by asking if they read. LOL!

He finally got some decent applause at the end when he said end the wars.

Here is Opie and Anthony totally ripping on Maher for 30 minutes straight over the stuff he said on Leno.

WARNING: Very explicit language.

Heh. I didn't see the show, but I turned to NBC to watch what comes on after Leno, and happened to see the last 3 or 4 minutes. Maher was still sitting on the couch next to the next guest, and I thought he looked absolutely miserable . This explains it.

His new season is starting up this Friday so he's doing his usual Real Time schtick on the Tonite Show. The difference is that his RT audience is stacked with Democrats that worship him (kinda like Obama does in his appearances). The Tonite Show is just a mix of people who want to be in the audience for the taping and it's mostly visitors from around the country, and surely some conservatives and libertarians in there.

Btw, I couldn't listen to more than about 3 minutes of the Opie and Anthony clip. They sound just as stupid as Maher does.

Though he claims to be non-religious, his mother is Jewish and Bill's partiality to Israel comes through in that interview with Scheuer and in his movie Religulous.

wOw

after spending half an hour bitching about some queen TALKING about his rights being threatened, the weasel quickly and completely contradicting himself (and AGREEING with the person he is mad at) by viciously attacking people who actually had their rights and LIVES taken away.

I think it has more to do with the "rrrrrrr I hate Muslims throw them into ovens" sect of secularism that Bill follows.

Bill Maher called for banning guns and stated that paying taxes is patriotic in within an 8 minute span. If that isn't Nazi-like rhetoric, I don't know what is.

The bullshit argument about banning 30 round mags is a joke. Loughner could've easily just gotten two guns with 15 round mags if 30 round mags were illegal.

The last couple of times I've seen him on Leno he hasn't done well with the audience at all, he'll even start complaining to the audience that they aren't laughing at his jokes. I guess he is too smug for even a lot of the California liberals.

I think it's because his partisan bullshit is becoming so annoying that people are starting to see him for what he is, the liberal Rush Limbaugh.

I liked Bill Maher back when I was in the fog. He had a reason (the war in Iraq) to be pissed and was potent. Now his more socialist positions are at the forefront and you can tell what an elitist ass he is.

He is neither left or right, but the fact that Maher is still repeating these idiotic talking points shows his douchebaggery and his ineptness at being a comedian.

Maher lost a lot of credibility there. Not only did most of his comments contradict his clamed libertarianism, but his overall behavior contradicted his overall message. He was blaming the behavior & speech of the right for causing the shooting, but according to his own reasoning HIS behavior could just as easily cause some loony-tune to go shoot up some NRA officials. Besides calling the NRA “assassins”, he was directing a lot of profanity and real hatred and not even pretending to be funny. I mean after watching Bill go off like that, what’s an unstable and impressionable viewer to do?

He's one of the more talented neocon comedians but when he says at 7:30 , "who is for the Iraq war"....wasn't he himself for it before he flip flopped?

Looks like his wiki page has been edited to remove his earlier stance in support of Iraq war. Who did it?

The last I heard, Leno had quit the Tonight Show and was replaced by that red-headed guy whose name slips my mind at the moment. I'm glad to know Leno is back, if in fact he wasn't merely sitting in for the new host.

Maher sucks. I appreciate his viewpoint on religion, though.

Wow, Maher comes right out and says what I had been thinking. I had been somewhat surprised by the reaction of the Left to this, and on my FB page, I've been posting various quotes (Obama's I'll bring a gun quote, Kanjorski's suggestion to kill the guy running for gov. in FL) from the Left to point out that there is little difference to the rhetoric on either side. (On the plus side no liberal has yet defended Kanjorski.)

I found it interesting how they defended Obama's quote - that it's metaphorical or it's a movie quote or whatever. Which makes me think, um, Sarah Palin's map wasn't a metaphor? "Don't retreat. Reload!" isn't a metaphor?

This type of double standard can only work with the following caveat - you have to assume a vast difference in intelligence in the intended audiences. I think this really gets to the elitism of the Left. Look, Both Obama and Palin are using metaphor, imagery, whatever you want to call it. But they are very obviously NOT saying that we should LITERALLY use a gun. The Left thinks so poorly of the Right that they actually think that right-wingers would view Palin's statements as being LITERAL. That right-wingers are just too stupid to understand metaphor or nuance. And Bill Maher actually says this in the video! Not in those exact words, but that was basically what he was getting at.

At 4:48 he starts claiming that no one with a gun would stop a crazy person shooting, he continued saying, " they would have to be trained for months and months" if not they would probably freeze up and shot the wrong person.

Fact: Joe Zamudio (who was armed) didn't shot the wrong person or anyone, he didn't freeze-up either.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-3GTwalrGY&feature=player_embedded.

Fact: A Baltimore cop who was "trained" for months and months shot and killed 2 people and injured 4 others (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?275288-Bad-Karma-Cops-kill-undercover-cop)

Fact: A LEO who was "trained" for months and months killed a man within 7 seconds for carving wood with a Legal knife.

Fact: LEOs who were "trained" for months and months shot at a van for backfiring (no injuries) http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?268629-Cops-open-fire-on-van....that-backfired&highlight=police+shot+owner+car

So... a 30 mag is a problem? Well, if they ban them again... then the would-be maniac will just get 2 guns that fire 15 rounds each.

WTF? "Getting us out of pointless stalemates overseas"? a "democrat" position? Now for sure this guy is exposed as ill informed about our history.

Bill I hope you can some day read my post. The Democrats were the party in power during the Indian War and a Democrat president sent the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears killing hundreds of thousands of them in the process. Democrats were the party in power during BOTH Mexican Wars. Half the Civil War and they wanted to keep slavery in place. They were the party in power during the Spanish-American War all based on a false flag incident. They were the party in power during WWI and another of their false flag incidents and lies got us into that. WWII when your hero FDR actually provoked the Japanese into attacking us after his first attempt failed in trying to convince the Americans that Hitler was going to invade us from Mexico. Result? A Democrat nuked hundreds of thousands of civilians in Japan. The only ti9me in world history that a nuclear device was used and it was used by a stinking Democrat. Then a Democrat got us into an unnecessary war against a country that never attacked us or threated us and without a declaration of war in Korea and the result was the deaths of over 35,000 American sons and who knows how many Chinese and Koreans? Then another Democrat Johnson the A-Hole got us into another unnecessary war against a country that never attacked us or threatened us, without a declaration of war and based in another false flag lie and the result was 57,000 dead American sons and who knows how many died as a result of Democrats spraying Agent Orange a known carcinigen over unsuspecting troops and civilians. Democraps got us into wars against Somalia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia and Columbia and kept us in Iraq for 8 years while we maintained sanctions that killed 500,000 Iraqis and Madeline Albright said "it was worth it".
Bill you piece of shit moronic partisan blinded fool.

notice the 1% saying yeah to the comment of the NRA being Assasins.......time for that to change......time for americans to tell the 1% ers that think Maher is correct to challenge them.......I dont let the Mahers of my world get away with much.....I challenge them and it shuts them up pretty quick.....cause their knowledge is as about as deep as Maher's...

If I had been in the audience I would have been tempted to shout a profanity after he said he didn't care about the Second Amendment.

But the best thing that could have happened would have been for people in the audience who disagreed with him to stand up and turn their backs to him. That allows them to make a statement without being dismissed as disruptive and/or whoring for the camera. If enough people did it, the host and guest would start reacting uncomfortably, with the TV audience not understanding the interaction.

No doubt. The list of people on the left who falsely claim to have been against the Iraq War right from the start is long indeed. Many of them truly don't remember. Ironically, since Obama has been in office, many on the left have gone into a coma on the issue of war and don't know where they stand now, or remember where they did stand in the past. Selective amnesia is epidemic.
