Bill Maher gave a nice shout out to Ron tonight

[Paulistinian]

It was real favorable.. ran down the list of loser Republican reality-stars, then got to Ron Paul compared him with Coach from Cheers (favorably) said sometimes he sounds a little crazy but he knows whats up... Kicked it over to Cornel West who gave big props to Ron, went down a list of big ticket issues Ron Paul was right about, the other guest was in total agreement. Very good minute of TV!

[trey4sports]

nice! Maher is a prick, but he's always been pretty good to Ron so he's ok in my book.

[bluesc]

Wont be so favorable in the general.

Thanks anyway Bill :D.

Cornel West was there? The guy who debated Peter Schiff on CNN?

[AlexG]

Maher can be very rude and intolerant but I think he understands what's happening and he isn't afraid to say it.

[gmc1988]

With friends like Bill Maher and Cornel West, who needs enemies? I wouldn't trust those guys as far as I can throw them.

Exactly. Why would praise from those guys help Ron with Republican voters?

[pauliticalfan]

Bill Maher has RPBD (Ron Paul Bipolar Disorder). One week he's bashing him about healthcare and his eyebrows, the next he's giving him praise. I don't know what's up with this dude.

[gb13]

Bill Maher is a friggin tool. He's not even funny. No idea how this guy stays on tv.

Disgruntled progressives would help

He is to standup what rap is to music.

This doesn't help whatsoever, honestly.

Bill Maher viewers and supporters (with the small exception of the few people on here who may watch him) are all hard line liberals who would never vote for Ron Paul.

For two, Maher saying anything favorable about Ron will be misconstrued as support and that is a death sentence in the eye's of conservatives and the general Republican electorate.

Disgruntled progressives are upset that Obama is appeasing to Republicans too much and isn't socialist enough. That's the plain truth. They think Ron is crazy just as the average Fox News viewer does.

Yes, somebody who gets it.

[kpitcher]

this weeks show was actually quite funny. I know humor is subjective but hey, I laughed. Also RP's name was brought up quite a bit all in good connotations. The recent episode with Penn as a guest was pretty good too. He gave a nice discussion on what his views as a libertarian are.

I'd give a some rep but I gotta spread some around first.

[Occam's Banana]

Cornel West was there? The guy who debated Peter Schiff on CNN?
Yes. He's a sort of a regular "panelist" on Maher's show.

[Paulistinian]

Bill Maher sometimes claims to be a Libertarian.

[KramerDSP]

I'm watching it now from the halfway point. Cornell West and the other guy were acting like bullies. It was despicable. That other guy seemed drunk, but maybe it was just me.

[Johncjackson]

That's a negative to the national socialist 'conservatives" that hang around here.

Maher is some sort of profound lyricist with a lot of substance in his standup? He offends national alliance "conservatives" who don't like any music since pre-rock era and are outraged at the young people and their movements and words in music that incite individual expression?

[RKoho]

This does help. Maher helped push me along to Ron Paul. I liked Paul from the '07 debates but his appearances on Maher helped bring me in closer.

Not necessarily. Many liberals are furious about Obama's extrajudicial assassination program, to mention just one thing.

I was a Maher fan on my path to Ron Paul, too. Now he kind of pisses me off, but does offer a humorous sound byte from time to time. He said he'd vote for Ron Paul if he HAD to pick a Republican. C'mon Bill, you can do better.

[michaelkellenger]

Bill Maher is a horrible human being.

[devil21]

There's no such thing as bad publicity. Those concerned that support from Maher hurts with conservatives would have to assume that these same conservatives pay any attention to Maher whatsoever. But they don't so out of sight, out of mind applies here.

I am a musician. Do not insult musicians with this claptrap. Some lowlife droopy drawers mumbling incoherently between cusses is certainly "individual expression"...though definitively of questionable character. Be nice if they kept it to their bedroom mirror where it belongs...or learned the idea of chords and structure instead of their one note, four-on-the-floor vampire entrainment drone sessions...but then they wouldn't be rappers anymore. Ironic.



Thanks

Um...the coach from Cheers was a complete moron - loveable but squash for brains.
NOT even close to Ron Paul.

I'd like to see these smart-butts become doctors, authors, and 12 term representatives.

Go ahead Maher, choose the prettiest face that the establishement wants you to choose. Enjoy the implosion of our society...

[Maher's the one who dissed Steve Irwin's (the crocodile hunter) death by dressing up in a costume with the barb of a sting-ray sticking out of his chest - he should be compared to the Coach on Cheers - useless blockhead.]

[donnay]

Bill Maher is a miscreant. I do not find him funny at all. I had more respect for him when he did "Politically Incorrect" show and got fired for his remarks he made after 9/11, even though, IMHO, he was wrong about what he said, but I defend his right to say it!

As crude as George Carlin was, he was funny, and he understood where this country was heading! I even think other comedians like Collin Quinn and Denis Leary get it too. At least they are funny.

I've been creating registered Republicans out of lifelong Democrats, independents, Libertarians and (seemingly) whole cloth for months now. I think if you check the local registrations you'll find that the Republican Party is growing around here. So, when you say hardcore liberals would never vote for Ron Paul and Republican 'team players' might, I suggest you might be mistaken...

[Chester Copperpot]

THat video site has got to be the worst streaming video site ive ever seen...

Im just pausing it now for 10 minutes so hopefully enough buffer builds up that it doesnt keep pausing every 3 seconds..

[Chester Copperpot]

fuck that video site...


damn commercials are playing fine enough at the expense of the site..

fuck them

[LisaNY]

This may not help Ron win the Republican nomination, but the ultimate nominee is going to need crossover appeal in order to win the general election. Sure, if Ron wins I have no doubt Maher and others would turn on him in a heartbeat, but the favorable seeds he's planting now could benefit Ron down the road.

No, I'm not.

You may be converting Democrats, but highly unlikely you or very many people are converting the borderline communist types that are the majority of Maher's audience. As I stated, those types despise Ron Paul as much the next hard line progressive.

And in response to a post earlier, sure, some may be mad at Obama's imperial bombing and assassination campaigns, but that does not mean they would vote for Ron Paul, necessarily. They would still be more inclined to push for Hillary or not vote.

Yeah, he's about as much of a libertarian as Michael Moore.

Cornel West says he's a libertarian too, LOL.

Just finished watching the whole panel discussion. It was pretty funny at times, though there was only one other time Ron Paul was mentioned, sort of indirectly. Here's the complete panel discussion for anyone interested:
