1. Remember that Maher supported Nader in 2000.
And how well that election turned out. :sarcasm:


Maher may be amusing but has no credibility IMO.

6. Yeah... but See. That Election was STolen
so your point is really irrelevant. Try a better smear next time.

10. You are very narrow-minded and very short-sighted.
Anybody who has watched at least one minute of any Bill Maher episode and says he has no credibility is dead wrong, or simply cannot understand the points that Maher is making.

2. A misogynistic egotist of the highest order.

5. Because anyone who doesn't support Shillary
is an evil woman-hater.

7. No, if you research this, you will see that he is now and
always has been a female hater. His comments about and attitude toward women on this show and previous shows confirms this fact.(Although I understands he loves Ann Coulter.) My comments on him have always been the same long, long, long before Hillary was a presidential candidate.
If your comment is meant to prove something about my support of the present Democratic candidates you are very wrong. I am an avid feminist who was an Edward's supporter (I still am and have seen nothing from the last two standing that is sending me in either direction and will only very reluctantly support whoever gets the nomination. (Obama' support of nuclear energy and his kind words about RR make me less than ready to jump on that bandwagon. Clinton is too tied to old ideas and old donors.)
I cannot abide this man and will continue to point out that he is a very anti-female person whenever I see posts about him. Here is one of his more current comments: "Bill Maher equated breastfeeding with masturbating. According to the liberal misogynist, neither should be done in public." BTW, I strongly disagree with the words liberal and misogynist to describe the same person.

8. He is supposed to be politically incorrect and he does offend many, but at least
he's an equal opportunity offender.

In that small clip I could see how:

He offended black people, old people, McCain people, Hillary people, Bush people, Reagan people, and anyone who likes dance or has perfect pitch.

About the only one who came out unscathed was John Edwards, but like he said, the media starved him of oxygen along time ago in favor of the two show ponies.

But I don't feel bad for Edwards, I'd rather they use my ideas and forget my name than use my name and forget my ideas.

Like they do with Reagan.

9. I love Bill...
More than anyone on TV he has no problem saying exactly what he thinks. To be doing his show without writers is pretty impressive.

12. "It's about time the people heard: 'And now for something completely different'..."
Right on, Bill!

(Too bad the only different is the last name. But still...)
