[NoMoreWarNow]

3. They all went there

Then decided all US presidents were war criminals except Jimmy Carter.

4. Well, in a way, but not actually.

Concurring that "all USA Presidents murder babies except Carter" was just a ploy to try
to marginalize what Cornell was saying.

AND, to my great disappointment .. Mayer kept insisting there was "absolutely nothing
new in what Snowden revealed" <-- one of the NSA lies.

[drynberg]

6. You're right, Maher just re-inforced the NSA lies

Question: Does he know he is re-inforcing, or is he just going off numb? He has lost a lot of my respect and attention...starting to sound more like David Gregory. Not cool. Edward Snowden is a brave patriotic hero.

5. K&R

''The most thoroughly and relentlessly Damned, Banned, Excluded, Condemned, Forbidden, Ostracized, Ignored, Suppressed, Repressed, Robbed, Brutalized and Defamed of all Damned Things is the individual human being.

The social engineers, statisticians, psychologists, sociologists, market researchers, landlords, bureaucrats, captains of industry, bankers, governors, commissars, kings and presidents are perpetually forcing this Damned Thing into carefully prepared blueprints and are perpetually irritated that the Damned Thing will not fit into the slot assigned it.

The theologians call it a sinner and try to reform it. The governor calls it a criminal and tries to punish it. The psychologist calls it a neurotic and tries to cure it. Still, the Damned Things will not fit into their slots.''

8. This is nice, but

I still hate a filthy fucking Republican. And they have ZERO credibility on any subject.

9. The composition of Maher's panel is surprising. n/t
