Bill Maher: Feces Throwers in the GOP
(cross-posted from Salon)
There was a fascinating discussion in Bill Maher’s “Overtime” segment of Friday night’s “Real Time” this week when Maher attempted to get conservative commentator Armstrong Williams to admit that Democrats have more respectable debates than Republicans.
When asked whether the DNC’s decision to add more debates (after hiding them for so long) would have a positive impact, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner gave a resounding “yes.” She said that Thursday night’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was a perfect example.
“I just think you have two substantive people talking about substantive issues, that’s good for the country, that’s good for the party, that’s good for the people being turned on to the democratic process.”
Maher agreed, apologizing to his Republican panelists, he said,
“it does look like just a whole different species. I mean they had this substantive discussion among two adults who never went out of the bounds of decorum, talking about what progressivism is. They’re just on a different level of the evolutionary scale than the feces throwers in the Republican debate.”
The above dialogue happens at the 10:00 mark:
