Bill Maher And Howard Dean Clash With GOP Panelists Over Obama’s Inaugural, ‘Crazy Crap On The Right

[octoberlib]

Howard Dean:" You have 49% crackpots in your party, we only have about 10."

[Kalidurga]

1. Boo hoo hoo the President called the crazy tea baggers Right Wing Republicans...

LOL I have never seen such a lame weak Republican in my life. The Republicans need to kick this one to the curb. But, then on the other hand he just looks like a cry baby and not a bat shit crazy lunatic like so many others in the party.

[ProSense]

2. Please, please, please

don't miss the exchange begining at 5:25 mins in.

Holy shit!

[stevenleser]

3. Wonderful stuff!

[Hekate]

4. "Turkey?!?"

Absolutely priceless.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

5. Ha! The one of the slugs that came up with the elementary school yard ad hominem

"Democrat Party" (instead of the proper Democratic Party) doesn't want to be called names like "right-wingers"?

STFU Avella, you piece of shit.

[lexw]

6. Was David Avella reading from a script, or what?

He was looking down each time he talked.
Can't stand that pollster. I saw her years ago beaming over Palin—blech!
I'm sure she has a bright future in the GOP. What a disgusting lie-filled future she has in store.

[supercats]

7. Howard Dean Needs to Run Again

He's too smart, strong and erudite not to be in a high level office. He deserves to have say and power in our political system. He would be able to make positive changes for our country. I for one would support him in which ever office he runs for.

[knitter4democracy]

12. Amen. Amen and amen to all of that.

I would, too. He's a real statesman.

[bigwillq]

14. Yes he does.

[dem4ward]

8. That was a grand smackdown!

I loved every minute of that interview. Why can't every Sunday show go as well?

[Honeycombe8]

9. Maher & Dean did a pretty good job refuting the lies. But not quite.

They didn't refute the "Obama hasn't created jobs" lie that abounds everywhere. We all know that's a lie...that 700,000 jobs were being lost every MONTH when Obama took office, as a result of REPUBLICAN policies & the Bush administration, and now there are jobs CREATED every month in the private sector. Lots of jobs have been created under Obama.

The meme that liberals thought and spread the "Bush created the 9/11 tragedy" - no....no one in Congress spread that meme or stated he/she believed that crap. The country came together after 9/11. Very different from the wacky teapartiers in Congress now who state they think Obama was born in Kenya and other wacko insane beliefs.

[K8-EEE]

10. These schmucks are the result of the "new messenger" efforts, LOL

TRYING LIKE HELL to sound nice, reasonable, YOUNG - while defending the same old teabagger craHEY GOP IT'S NOT HOW YOU'RE SAYING IT IT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!

[bvar22]

11. I always have a DURec for Howard Dean or Bill Maher.

Having both together is a treat.


Kudos to Bill and the Good Doctor.

[thucythucy]

13. Nicely done.

But I think Governor Dean was being too generous to the GOP.

Looking at the current picture, the percentage of crackpots in the GOP has to be way over 49%.

[loyalsister]

15. Howard Dean is the best!

I supported him in '04 and sooo wish he would have one. But, I think that he has been able to serve us better in the roles he has taken on since. He couldn't be as forthright as he is if he were president. Office holders have to temper their rhetoric in pursuit of diplomacy. The have to equivocate and be evasive in the interest of avoiding offending anyone.
I'm so glad he has remained active in the public arena. He speaks truth to power from the heart.

16. the gop has left the building. shut the door

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

17. This was great!!

Howard Dean and Bill Maher are great! There aren't many people on our side that anger the right-wing like Dean and Maher!

[ellisonz]

18. Join the Dean People

DU Democracy for America Group - taking the country back with mouse pads, shoe leather, and hope.

[octoberlib]

19. Done! I volunteered at the independent media building during the DNC in Charlotte

and Democracy Now was headquartered on the 2nd floor. Great people!

[ellisonz]

20. Cool!

But I think you might be confusing: http://www.democracynow.org/ - the media outlet with Democracy for America, the Howard Dean founded activist organization http://www.democracyforamerica.com/

Either way - I think you've found a good group to subscribe to!

[octoberlib]

22. I am confusing them. Howard Dean came through the building too though.

DFA was headquartered there. I always do that.

[flying rabbit]

21. Howard Dean 4 prez.

[cynatnite]

23. "Turkey?"

I was thinking that, too.

Thanks for this!
