Obama Adopts New Campaign Song To Quell ‘Muslim Rumors’: ‘Rock the Casbah’

Someone please enlighten me as to why Maher labels Gore a Minchausen sufferer (=someone who knowingly fakes illness to get sympathy, as opposed to a hypochondriac who misguidely truly believes he is ill). To me Gore's only (fatal) mistake was to give in to his rightful election being stolen and not fighting for it back. Some have rationalised this mistake by believing that he knew about the dark forces ahead beyond his control.

RHM @ 1:

Maher is a good entertainer, but why would you possibly label all swing-voters or undecided as morons? Just because they don't agree with a flock?

This doesn't help anybody.

RHM

I've never known Nicole to be unfair. I assume the label "moron" is going to those who latch onto a one-line talking point, use it to justify their voting decisions, and run from facts. Applying the term moron to those people seems an exercise in restraint to me.

Yeah, I just caught my mistake. Maher sometimes bugs me but my assumption about who he's calling morons still stands.

Who said anything about Nicole? My comments are based on Maher's words.

RHM

As if anything Maher says on HBO is going to reach the ears of the morons he is talking about... It is irrelevant, and stop the hand wringing...

It is preaching to the choir ..and lets not forget we have a very large portion of MORONS in our chorus as well... Its not just the church of undecided...

anybody who places their vote based on ONE issue alone is a fucktard who doesn't deserve the privilege.. oh, wait, that's probably over half the country at this point.

we're probably already so screwed from two Bush terms that America will go belly-up exactly the same as the Soviet Union did - maybe Putin will get the credit for that as Reagan did for "ending"
the Soviet threat.

If people are "undecided" at this point between Dems and Republicans, then they ARE morons. Regardless of your politics, if you can't tell the difference at this point, you're brain dead.

And it's not Bill Maher's job to be "helpful."

RHM

After all that has happened under this administration; how could anybody consider themselves undecided.

You either hate the GOP.

Or you don't give a shit.

But, if you don't know; you obviously lack the capacity to cast an intelligent vote.

I just finished spending 20 minutes writing a post to Real Time, where I was uncomplimentary to Maher, and his shabby treatment of Hillary, which included a panel made up entirely of Hillary haters, including the despicable Christopher Hitichens, and after hitting the SUBMIT button, and seeing my post included with other posts, my screen suddenly and mysteriously went Off Line. When I returned to the Real Time post column, my post was gone.

how can anyone be undecided if their paying any attention at all?
the line between the two parties can become blurred sometimes but its easy to see where the less of two evils is

imo even contemplating voting republican makes you a moron

Thank you for proving my point.

RHM

So your lemming like obescience to the Republican party after eight years of hard evidence that it is little more than organized crime posing as a political party and is wholly incapable of competent governing is independent or critical thinking? Rubbish!

You can make all the misleading posts you want on your stupid website like falsely claiming that Obama campaign headquarters had Che Guevara posters up, go right ahead. What you can't do is effectively accuse others of that which you are guilty yourself.

Bill Mahr's show is the only reason I pay $15 a month. also for the George Carlin specials.

( and Curb Your Enthusiasm was a fun series)

You gotta see Bill Mahr skit on doin' the evangelical weather man..PRICELESS !!!

Once you are at his HBO video webpage,

there are 3 separate video catagories to choose from.
Go down to the 3rd "Opening Sketch" pop down menu category.. you'll find it there

It's the first choice once you pull down video menu

I wonder what the statistics are for those people online that say they will vote for "so and so" and actually never vote? Kind of like a few years back when somebody in the media proved that the amount of people online claiming to be vietvets was so blatantly false, that the one's claiming would have added up to more than was ever involved in Vietnam. It's hilarious really. If say 33% of the population is Dem, the same Repub, and the same "Undecided", who really votes when only 40% of the population on average actually gets off their asses and votes??? Sorry, thinking out loud.

At times Bill really pisses me off,but he is a razor wit who serves up real satire-none of that watered down crap that in all honesty I find Stewart and Colbert guilty of far too often.

Did I hear the writer correctly? How can 50% of the people in this country, despise Hillary, if, for the first 8 months of the campaign, a huge majority of the voters gave Hillary a vast lead in the polls? Besides that, I didn't say anything about the garbage, media spreads about the candidates, I was talking about the "ugly treatment" to which Bill Maher exposed Clinton. I was talking about the fact that he spent almost the entire show, demeaning and degrading her, after he announced, hypocritically to the Pennsylvania Governor, that "he liked Hillary Clinton." The entire panel did nothing but insult her, and showed Obama nothing but warm and fuzzy handling. Where is the "other" side of this debate? I can't believe that Maher, who was unceremoniously discarded like trash, off of network television, would now treat Hillary in the same manner. Maher is a hypocrite and a coward.

Snowball @ 27:

RHM is a right wing troll that removed his vote McCain banners from his website after it became clear that he couldn't pose as an independent on the blogs while linking to his website. I checked him out a while back when he posted some ludicrous BS. Right wingers love to play the game as posing as moderates or independents while mouthing predictable right wing talking points. They believe it lends them credibility and they do it because they know just how weak their arguments are.

So they should kiss her ass why? It's a comedy show. Who really gives a flying f_ _ _ whether they parade a politician as the next coming of Hayzeus?? If you don't have a sense of humour, don't watch comedy shows. Go and cry on Taylor Marsh's site with the rest of the Hillary supporters.

I never had an McCain banners. I was referring to the link to my blog when I said there was " no link".

It's all part of the vast atheist conspiracy. Perhaps Hillary and her 'prayer warriors' can get something done about that.

Snowball @ 29:

From RHM's blog:

Where I specifically differ with Democrats:

* I do not view all non-democrats as lesser beings with an inability to feel compassion;
* I support the death penalty;
* I respect and revere our military all the time (instead of just when it helps me politically);
* and I think Ronald Reagan was a good man and president.

That’s enough to make them hiss at me when I walk by.
Where I specifically differ with Libertarians:

* I am against the total legalization of drugs;
* support universal healthcare;
* am against liquidating the federal government to the extent they advocate;
* and support the creation of a national ID card.

What is clear is he has drank from the right wing kool-aid accusing Democrats of being "against our troops" and is hostile towards civil liberties. He is more knee-jerk authoritarian than anything.

Not surprising how you cut out the part about where I differ from Republicans. It must have been an oversight on your part. Or it just didn't fit with your criticism of me.

I know that:)

I was just mentioning it for those who are watching from the wings.

RHM

We will see what kind of rules his publishing when Barak get's elected and screw up the country....

Why can so few people spell the name Barack? Maybe everyone with a negative opinion of him are really talking about some guy name Barak we don't know about.

So why is Maher getting away with all his classic sexist crap? His Hillary hit-piece was particularly nauseating.

couple things....

first, this does not make up for the debacle of last week

so maher's writers had a week to come up with a comeback for the wingnut lies...doesnt excuse bill for not knowing the truth

second...."someone" did not release that pic....the clinton campaign did

come on bill, i know you continue to have love for hillary...but it is time for you to accept that lots of hate directed towards her does indeed have merit

Here's the part from RHM's site about Republicans

Where I specifically differ with Republicans:

* I am unabashedly pro-choice;
* anti faith-based anything;
* support universal healthcare;
* am all for gay marriage;
* and against any laws banning flag-burning.

That’s enough to make them waterboard me just for fun.

I'll have to say, I agree on every single one of those points. What I disagree with is your false characterizations of the Democratic party. I think you fall into the false equivalence game. Just because Democrats, for the most part, opposed the invasion of Iraq does not make them anti-military or anti-troop. Quite the opposite. Real support of the troops is to want to engage in military force only as a last resort when there are no other options left and it is critical to the security of the US. Iraq was not such a case. The results of that engagement can be reasonably argued to have damaged the security of the US by over-stretching our military, diverting resources and attention away from Afghanistan, unleashing hostility towards the US in the Arab and Muslim world and acting as a recruiting tool for al Qaeda by convincing the Arab world that we are after control of their natural resources.

I also think that your perceptions about both parties are somewhat false. The social issues have little to do with the difference between Liberal and Conservative political ideology which primarily concern economics. To me, it is a sad commentary on our political parties and the media system which have taken economic issues off the table and labeled them as "class warfare." In a functional democracy, political parties represent the competing interests of the different classes. These differences are settled by negotiation instead of warfare. Democratic government is an instrument to balance the differences in power between the classes. Republicans and Libertarians oppose it precisely for this fact.

P.S. Your above explanation of the banners on your website sounds plausible to me. My apologies if I was mistaken.

CowboyBob in Austin @ 55:

Maher was right on the money regarding the way Republicans LIE when they campaign... and since KKKarl Rove got control of Repug Party politics... they have been campaigning ALL THE TIME.

My wife, who USED TO BE a big fan of Maher, as of last night, may never watch the show again. To his credit, he admitted that he was an Obama supporter last week... but his whole ANTI HILLARY show last night was over-kill considering that the voting next week could make or break Senator Clinton's campaign.

Obama sez he wants to raise politics to a new higher level in this country.
Mahar SANK TO A NEW LOW last night.

Money and control have ALL of the show. Over-kill voting, or raise higher money. Republicans campaign and watch Obama. ANTI voting could right the LIE. THE wife, who was considering, could campaign to a LOW politics. Never credit Mahar.

It is my personal opinion that Maher is the moron. Half intelligent people don't use the foul language that comes out of his mouth. His continual knocking of Hillary Clinton and his crowning of King Obama has made me one less viewer of his show. If more of us "morons" would do the same it might lead to NO MAHER.

Big Bill has had lots of flubs lately about a month ago he had Tucker Wingnut on and he should have thrown some water on him. then last week with the Kingston and the other RePUGnutz on was absolutely Horrorshow. he really needs to think about who his audience is.

Wow, what great timing Maher has, using this week's new rules to condemn these hacks who go after barack's patriotism, he's so brave. I appreciate that he allowed that retard kingston a forum to say some of the most inane things i've ever heard without calling him out on it until this week. Way to show that douche! (snicker) What Maher should have done was smackdown the retard the way abrams did and he wasnt even trying. How is that tard a congressman? I mean I understand dems not putting up a challenge with him in his district b/c its probably highly repub but shouldnt even that side know how retarded this guy is and take him out during the primary. He'd even appreciate it, wouldnt have to travel as often as he does and we all know how much he doesnt like to work. I wouldnt either if i was retarded as him.
Are the people in that district of Georgia all as retarded as him? I swear if you look up the phrase 'deer in the headlights' in 'the google' Rep Jack Kingston is first on your search results.

PS

I just remembered that I first saw Ann Coulter on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect show maybe ten years ago. He gave her the exposure she craved.

Gee I wish that he could have NOT given her the time and place to deliver her own brand of vile clown behavior.

Thanks a lot Bill.

It's comedy. You either get it or you get over it.

And don't hold your breath waiting for Red Skelton's triumphant return to the small screen.

Where is the serious commentary and who is listening to it? Does the audience care about the politics or are they looking for a laugh? Ha Ha Ha... all the way to WWIII and Nero fiddling while Rome burns. A happy thought there. Was Red Skelton a political commentator or did he ever pretend to be one? Not that I know of he didn't. The Smothers Brothers were quite clear about it and helped to end the Vietnam war. Perhaps it's a good thing to simply confuse people and let them sort it all out, but that's not the job news journalists should share with comedians. Pretense to some kind of "objectivity" is and always has been bogus, but low-class shock journalism is just low-class entertainment. How about "respect" being shown for presidential hopefuls? How about respect for anyone? It's cool to be disrespectful and slanderous if you can get a laugh? Well, if that's what you like, I guess you're entitled. I just think it should be labeled for what it is.

Real time with Bill Maher "Come for the Hillary bashing, stay for the Obama worship"

Nice to see Hitchens still hasn't gotten over himself yet.
