1. Controversey sells....
If he had said something good about Obama he would not be getting a sniff from the MSM.

2. Funny how that works.
Liberals are ignored by the MSM until they criticize a Democrat, then the offers pour in.

3. Bush bashing gets your network show cancelled..
While Obama criticism by a libertarian gets you countless guest spots on prime-time cable news shows.

Bill knows who butters his bread.

4. Bill Maher has said some really great things about Obama too.
He framed it a little dicey, but there's nothing wrong with applying a respectful cattle prod to Obama. I predict Maher will reinforce his general enthusiastic support for this president tonight.

5. Unreal. They ignore him until he criticizes Obama
Just like Krugman. The media is so predictable.

8. That is a fact. The MSM thrives on negative controversy.
Like I said above, I predict Maher will reiterate his general enthusiastic support for President Obama and eviscerate the opposition.

14. Wrong. Maher has been on air slamming the Pukes and * for years
Including the early months of the Obama admin.

17. But no doubt this interview is BECAUSE of his remarks Friday night.
Otherwise, I completely agree with your assessment. Maher has kicked the stuffing out of the RW for years.

21. Sure. The idiot media think it's "dog bites man"
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 05:32 PM by jgraz
When, in reality, Maher has always slammed whomever's been in power at the moment.

19. No its not Wrong. Of course he has been slamming the Pukes
But like I said. They ignored him when he did that. You didn't hear them asking him to be on for something he said about Bush or playing it over and over again.

They use him much like they do Krugman. What they say is irrelevant unless they criticize Obama.

6. Is this a new populus uprising of the so-called left or progressives?!
Oy. This is turning into a joke.

7. Are Liberals Losing Patience w/ Obama?
That's the new MSM meme...

Yes Norah, liberals and republicans are losing patience because we are a society that has no patience. When we want something, God damn it, we want it now....We are American's - American's don't wait for shit.

11. Jonathan Turley is also a libertarian.
I agree with libertarians on many issues, but inevitably there is a clunker POV that we part company on ... recently Turley argued against the use of the term "domestic terrorist" in reference to the murder of George Tiller. He intimated it was bordering on hyperbole, and on that point I completely and vehemently disagree.

Still if we all thought alike we'd be Republicans.

12. I was watching a Canadian show, ReGenesis, and the main
character made an observation that all "terrorism" other than 911 on American soil was perpetrated by Americans. I thought it was an interesting observation. I don't know if it is true, but I wonder if that is how the rest of the world views us?

13. It would be hard to argue against since it is textbook
... domestic terrorism employed for political or ideological purposes.

16. Good, he can lose some
more of his audience with his inane smirk.
