After he goes through his new rules, Bill Maher takes aim at the nonsensical and uniformed statements and ads from the GOP presidential candidates about Iran…
Maher: … At the Republican debate last week, Mike Huckabee said Islamofascism is the greatest threat we ever faced. Really? More than the Nazis and the Russians and the Redcoats?

Close…if he had said Christianofascism he would have been absolutely correct.
Bill Maher? Isn’t he the guy who refuses to consider that neo-conservative BS may have actually started with the “official” story about 911 ?
It’s the American people’s fault now.
This war continues because the American people allow it. The pass the buck to the Democrats who hold no accountability unless they say something “bad” about the President.
If only about 24% support the war, why is there still a war? Where is your democracy? Show me. Show me the democracy. Show me how most people opposed the war have to endure it either way because they can’t stop it.
The facts are out there. Global warming is a threat and the war is a failure. So why?
This only happens if the American people allow it. If the people can’t be the ones to decide if there should be war or not, then were is your democracy?

go away…nutjobs are not allowed to post here
why bash on dobbs?
LibertyLust @ 3:
More accurately it’s their responsibility to do something about it now,they have a rouge administration, time to feed the tree of liberty.
What he said about fear is true, most of it is made up, spun and focused ….. they should make watching V for Vendetta compulsory ……..
“After he goes threw his new rules …”
heh, Now I don’t feel so bad about when I make a typo.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 4:
Then what are you doing here?
“threw” At least the spellchecker works.
“V for Vendetta” … ah, yes. I love to watch that show and fantasize. Anyone who hasn’t read Maher’s book, “When You Ride Alone You Ride with Bin Laden” should check it out.
iraqconcilable @ 2:
just stfu, would ya
That was actually a fairly amusing little rant
“The only thing we have to fear is brain-dead Republicans”!
uncle joe mccarthy @ 5:
Because he deserves it. I’m not sure if Tancredo has Lou Dobb’s disease or if Lou Dobbs has Tom Tancredo’s disease, but I wish they would find a cure and quick. They’re both nutjobs. The more I hear either talk the more it makes me wish they’d just add another star to the flag for the new state of Mexico.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 4:
I actually disagree with Bill on this one… I do think that, while not a strong case indeed, the idea that neo-conservative, military industrial complex, CIA or whatnot, might be involved, albeit logistically, does deserve consideration, or at least be respected…
That said I think your post is a lot more nutcasey that uncle joe mccarthy’s. Cheers :)
Here’s an interesting little bit of research on the objective threat of terrorism to the U.S…something I like to show people like Huckabee who like to tell everyone that we should be shitting our pants all the time over “islamofascism,” whatever the hell that is:

We need a third party. Now.

I meant the other way around, but you got the drift…

So you’re the new sitemonitor now ? Don’t worry, I know how tender this subject is . Funny how it just won’t go away . Neither will I . And thanks to C&L for believing in the first amendment ( within reason ) a little harder than you do . Good pen name, by the way.
Georgi @ 14:
respected in what fashion?
cuz its cool to consider conspiracy theories?
JerryM @ 6:
Those are cute words, but unfortunately, the American people have already failed. How do I know this? Because it doesn’t go much lower than where we are now and this all happened because the American people allowed it.
The American people won’t do squat. They’re lazy and don’t care about a war far, far away.
They’ll just continue to vote for Democrats and whine about them not doing anything.
To date, since Democrats have been given the Congress and House, the war has actually escalated and have given Bush more spy power.
Your words are empty because Americans won’t do anything. Zip. Nada. All they do is go to a voting booth and hope and pray someone does the right thing. That’s not how you keep a democracy, if you even want to call it that anymore.
cluck kent @ 21:
Yay! A fight I’m actually not involved in!! Woo hoo! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Time for a sexy party.

IF they even bother to vote.
I figured it out, i figured out how 9/11 happened! it was u.f.o’s! they were commanded by the same team of highly trained assassins that killed j.f.k. while they were hiding in the set where they shot the fake moon landing! oh you tricky bastards, and you thought you could fool us!
9/11 truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
iraqconcilable @ 19:
you and the rest of the truthers act is getting old really fast
so everytime a maher clip comes up you are gonna post how he wont let you idiots come into his audience and scream out unintelligable bullshit?
LibertyLust @ 22:
All I said was it’s their responsibility, not that they would, should will or not, the facts of the matter are obvious.
totally ot (as much of this thread now is thanks to me), but why is redstate so afraid of ron paul supporters?
uncle joe mccarthy @ 20:
respected in what fashion?

As a legitimate question. If they did it as sure as hell would not tell anyone. And if not… Well. If you look at the record of the Bush administration it is quite possible that they have not had a competent investigation. If you look at their record you’d probably conclude that they simply went as far as their objectives would lead them, not necessarily the quest for truth.
LibertyLust @ 22:
Now that is some cynicism I can relate to.
Dinosaur Trader @ 16:
Aren’t there like, a dozen third parties? I’m afraid what we really need is probably not going to happen … not until shit goes waaaayyy bad. And I don’t think the ruling class will let that happen. I think they’ll keep tossing us just enough American Idol and cheap comfort food to keep us drooling on the couch.
What’s he appealing to, the GOP’s reasonable side? Their sense of decency? That’s so naive as to be cute. We must appeal to each other. Don’t be afraid. Don’t watch Fox or CNN or the networks. Get news from real news sources. Fight to preserve what’s left of your rights. Reject Hillary. Support a candidate who cares as much about your rights as you do.
Regarding Bill Maher’s position on the topic that lead to the ejections from his audience last week:
Do I think Cheney was morally capable of pulling off that topic? Yes. Do I think he did? No. Do I think that all of the objective, physical evidence supports that? Absolutely. Do I think once it happened it was very hard for him to contain his glee while he called his broker and his cabal of contractor friends? Absolutely. Do I believe Richard Clarke when he says Cheney looked him in the face and told him to find a way to make Iraq culpable. Absolutely.
Human to Billo #2 - I guess that’s why your pick Killer Hillary voted for more War. Oh, and get a Physics lesson or 2.
Peace.
And the morons are out in force tonight.
Put your dicks away boys, those tiny things don’t impress anyone.
Come on, you guys. I’ve seen girls scouts have better fights than this.
Fight! Fight!
Best Bill Maher ever imho.
Symes @ 40:
Absolutely correct. All the morons that put their faith in Democrats are out in full force tonight.
The greatest threat we face is, was, and always will be, the Republican Party.
Wow, so that is how DFH fight.
Anyhoo, they will declare mission accomplished again before the election:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....mi_ea/iraq
Then Iran will be the national security issue.
The Clintons are positioned well to win the general.
Maher is getting funnier and funnier every time watch.
PurplePatriot @ 33:
Yup. That’s America in a nutshell. My own personal conspracy theory is, Anna Nicole was a minion of Karl Rove,, and when she died (mysteriously– great touch Karl) they needed a Britney meltdown to satisfy the mob (and keep them from taking any interest in Washington), so they poisoned her water supply, making her go berserk. I’m sure there are “other agents” queued up, in case Britney unexpectedly goes off the rails. Have some more nachos and pass the salsa, would ya?
Screw Maher.
As for other conspiracy theories, I would agree, whatever “truth” there is, we’ll never see, hear, or otherwise get any access to. And I can’t say I’m satisfied with everything this administration “feeds us”, about a whole lot of things. The Democrats haven’t “fed us” any differently either. ‘Nuff said??

Sorry to be petty, but the least we can do is use the correct word in a sentence. Give the Wingnuts nothing…absolutely nothing, to whinge about. :-)
cluck kent @ 57:
you offer no conspiracy theories…but you just repeated the big lie
and its a biggie
which makes you either evil, crazy, stupid…or all three
Andrew @ 52:
Forgive me for the delayed post. But I was going slowly making sure I understood what you were trying to say amidst your misspellings and your jihad on grammar. Now that I’m done …
Please post a link to the comment to the person who said that false flag incidents, like the ones you reference, have never happened. After you do that, we’ll address the rest.
There will always be believers and disbelievers. 44 years after Kennedy’s assination, and people still have doubts that Oswald was the lone gunmen. But perhaps that is what the controllers really crave. Just leave a tiny amount of doubt in everyones mind, and then let the people fight amongst themselves while we movers and shakers go about ruling the world.
sorry… (again) I posted before I read the comments.
Wess @ 59:
Holy crap, Wess. If you’d read the threads, we addressed that about 2 hours ago. Don’t apologize for being petty. Apologize for being late and repetitive.
Remember, kids, no costume = no candy.
