H/t reader Harry S. Imagine that a prominent media conservative jokingly hoped, in any way shape or form, that a member of the Dem presidential ticket would be shot. How long until the MSM and various others demanded he be fired, a Secret Service investigation launched, etc?
But when Bill Maher jokes about Sarah Palin being shot? Silence, except for the raucous laughter of the studio crowd. Maher offered up his violent fantasy on this past Friday's "Real Time" on HBO in the "Exit Strategy" segment, devoted to exploring foreign countries to which people might consider moving in the event of a McCain victory. India was the subject of the week, which led to Maher's invocation of recincarnation, and his "hope" for how Sarah Palin would come back . . . .
BILL MAHER: Above all, India is a land of spiritual renewal, where many believe in recincarnation. And if there is such a thing as karma, let's hope that Sarah Palin comes back as a wolf being shot from a plane.
This is what passes for humor on the left. Again, imagine a conservative saying something similar about a member of the Dem ticket, and the outrage that would instantly ensue.
Note: Not long after I embedded the YouTube of the segment here, it was yanked from YouTube with a note indicating an issue of HBO copyright infringement.

Is it my imagination or is
October 20, 2008 - 13:43 ET by suzycreamcheeseIs it my imagination or is Maher the attention whore getting more desperate for laughs? He is one ugly individual--outside and inside.
suzy
October 20, 2008 - 16:04 ET by DoktorFrankenNo, he's just a whore. It seems, though, that Maher and Jon Stewart are vying for 'media whore of the month'. 'Ugly' comes close but it doesn't cover the extent of the vileness that is Maher and the Left media. I am not a Christian so I find it easy to hate scum like Maher.

October 20, 2008 - 13:46 ET by allanfThese people sit around their apartments in the Upper West Side or the Hamptons on weekends and congratulate each other on their brilliance while they rue the stupidity of midwesterners and George Bush.
Well...
October 20, 2008 - 18:40 ET by guttermouthYou kind of have to admit, George Bush and midwesterners make it kind of easy...
Yeah, guttermouth.
October 21, 2008 - 09:59 ET by KarmaWe midwesterners have made life kind of easy on you coastal communists. It's just our nature to work hard and be honest. Yes, we know we're being taken advantage of by your elitist cliques. Take solice in the fact we are very patient as a group, but be very careful with your poking-sticks though; they won't fare well against the arms we will never surrender to you. Never.
BTW, welcome to NB!
Thanks for the warm welcome...
October 21, 2008 - 14:50 ET by guttermouthIt's also easy to condemn the "elitist" coastal residents, but keep in mind how much money our state generates for the country compared with how much we get back to spend in our state. Not quite fair, is it? It's almost...what's the word you hate so much? Socialist?
Not almost.
October 21, 2008 - 15:15 ET by KarmaIt is Socialism/Communism. Every state should pay a small amount to a miniscule federal government. No state should ever get money back from the US Treasury. They should only send in their apportioned share. Am I mistaken to think we agree on this?
Depends...
October 21, 2008 - 15:34 ET by guttermouth...On how you view the world. If our state has to spend a little more to ensure that Arkansas has emergency tornado funds, or the gulf can rebuild after Katrina, or simply helping with education or border patrol in poorer states, then I'm happy to help. If that's elite, I'm happy to be part of the club.
John Kerry?
October 21, 2008 - 16:07 ET by KarmaTornados, floods, hurricanes, lightning, hail, locusts etc. is what insurance is for; not the federal government. Border control between nations is a federal responsibility. Education is not. If you voluteer or donate to help others, that is admirable and I encourage it. Forcing others to do your bidding is... how do we say it... slavery. Socialism, communism, marxism, slavery; I see little difference between them. You don't have to be an elitist to help others, but if directing others is your goal, enjoy your club.
I figured it would come to this
October 21, 2008 - 17:39 ET by guttermouthOne example: When the federal government mandates primary and secondary education for minors, the government therefore should be required to pay for it.
But I get it. You look out for yourself. That's noble. Did you learn that from the bible?
Ironic screen name. Funny.
No. You don't get it.
October 21, 2008 - 20:45 ET by KarmaLooking out for yourself is fundamental. Looking out for others of your own volition is noble. Forcing others to help you is not.
The federal government's involvement in education, is the problem. Your indoctrination into their elitist way of thinking is evident. Did you learn that from your socialist education? Grow up and think for yourself, while you may still have the chance.
I'm not a student of the Bible but, do you have a personal problem with the Book? Oh yeah, I forgot; your club.

Define "government money."
Should you be unable to, I will tag you as a troll, and you will be known as nothing else for the remainder of your tenure here at NB, which I expect will last about two days.
Maybe three.

Go for it
October 22, 2008 - 11:33 ET by guttermouthIf troll is the best name you can come up with, I'm fine with it. I've been called much worse, and I'm sure all my fans on this site will continue to do so. Sticks and stones, right? But I'll continue to post here and call out BS as I see it.
Karma - feel free to question my education. I've lived all over the country, studied in several different states, and traveled the world. My free thinking comes from that, not your little name calling club you have here where everyone shares the same views - even when it comes to teaming up against Fox news pundits who ALL agreed Obama won the last debate. But I bet you know all about me.
We elitists will have the last laugh when our messiah takes over for the biggest failure of a president in US history. After all, I think one thing everyone on this site can agree on is that McCain has no better chance this election than he did in 2000.
I'll see you later on another subject. This post is getting stale. Wasn't it about Bill Maher? I like that guy. Anyone see the new movie? Or are we all just talking smack about it?
You couldn't even answer his simple question...
October 22, 2008 - 13:11 ET by Karma...could ya' mouth.
I would believe that no one has ever accused you of lacking an over-inflated sense of self-worth. I know we barely know each other but, as of now, I would hold you up to my children as an example of character traits to avoid. You seem to lack any redeeming qualities.
But, who knows. Maybe you're just havin' a bad day...or week...or month....or....
Again, welcome to NB and enjoy your stay here, gutter.
Um...
October 22, 2008 - 13:52 ET by guttermouthFirst thing's first - we don't know each other, not even barely.
Second - now that it's been established that we don't know each other, you can hardly make an assumption as to what my character traits are. Go ahead, give it a swing. I'm having a tremendous month. My messiah is going to be the next president!!!
Third - Your questions...
-My socialist upbringing. I'd call it more of a social-anarchist upbringing rather than socialist.
-My bible study habits. Yes, I have many problems with the bible, but it does not mean I don't share many similar values with someone such as yourself. I have great respect for others beliefs. Remember our differences are political. Freedom of religion INCLUDES the freedom not to believe in your god. Your attack on me for not having religion in my life is just as wrong as if I were to attack your religious beliefs. I don't care to debate religion because there's nothing you can do to change my mind, as I cannot change yours (nor do I wish to - after all, what a boring place this world would be if we all were alike).
Happy now? Or do you want to take another swing? I can take it.
Really, guttermouth?
October 22, 2008 - 15:55 ET by KarmaI know you intend to vote for...as you say...your messiah. I know you are a social-anarchist or marxist or communist or some such ist. I know it was you who snidely brought religion into this conversation and then claim you were "attacked" for your lack of belief in God, which by the way, never occured. This from the one who says, "I have great respect for others beliefs." I now know you to be dishonest. I know you are rude. I know you believe you are superior to others, especially "midwesterners". So yeah, guttermouth, like it or not, I do know you, even if barely.
Now that that's been established, you've just reinforced my observations on your lack of good character.
Now, for the third time, can you answer Dave regarding your definition of "government money"?
Welcome to NB and learn to smile more often. I promise, it doesn't hurt. ;-)
I'm smiling
October 22, 2008 - 16:38 ET by guttermouthAnd will continue to smile for the next 4-8 years. You should actually re-read my last post. I did not accuse you of attacking me on religion - I merely made a comparison that you attacking me for not believing in your god is no better than me attacking you for your beliefs. You should really look up the definition of those fancy words you're using, as they do not mean the same thing (socialist/marxist/communist). So I am dishonest, rude, superior, and I'll go ahead and add elite. Except I disagree, once again, you know nothing about me. Let me make some assumptions about you. Racist, thief, rapist, killer, child molester, adulterer...should I go on, or am I completely wrong - as you are about me.
I thought I already agreed to take on the name troll as RD Helm has labeled me. Definition of government money? In the most simplistic form, tax dollars. Our money that the government spends on programs and offices such as defense, energy, education, health, housing, justice, labor, transportation...should I go on, or should we just dispose of these programs. Do you offer any solutions in lieu of a government providing these?
Just a regular ol' Guy Smiley, huh guttermouth.
October 22, 2008 - 17:34 ET by KarmaYour attack on me for not having religion in my life is just as wrong as if I were to attack your religious beliefs. - guttermouth
Keep flailing, son. Keep them wrists nimble for the keyboard. The more you write, the more we know you. I can now add reading comprehension problems to the list.
Defense? Yes. If, by justice, you mean limited national law enforcement? Yes. As to everything else on your list. Nope. They're not the role of the federal government. I now know your probably lazy as it seems you need a fulltime nanny.
The solutions? Get off your lazy-boy and go help someone.
And thank you for adding "elite" to the list. I overlooked that one. I can be forgetful sometimes. See, now you know something about me!
I give up
October 22, 2008 - 17:56 ET by guttermouthFor a moment I thought you were a smidge different from the rest of the members of this site, but you're just another closed minded, midwestern, ignorant, Rush-loving know-it-all.
I like insults and name calling too.
And I can do it without breaking a sweat or raising my pulse. I take comfort in knowing that in 2 weeks, Barack Obama will be elected president. And McCain will be the oldest person almost elected to the presidency.
I will sleep well tonight.
And you will cry into your pillow as you blame all of your problems on someone else.
PS - We LAZY Californians don't own lazy-boys. They're kinda trashy, and we're a little classier than that. Actually elite is more like it. Alrighty, I'm off to the beach, but not before I stop at the marijuana store, grab a smoothie, and hit up the Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy of the Communist Manifesto. Good reading.

October 22, 2008 - 19:23 ET by guttermouthBut there's a difference between not liking cops and violence against cops. I don't condone violence, and I don't participate in gang mentality. I also believe the government should provide police services, as I stated earlier. Give yourself a hug for me. I still don't like you, but you'll probably feel better about our relationship. Of course, I have friends who are cops, so I guess I'm a hypocrite.
Wow.....a coherent thoughtful response.....
October 22, 2008 - 19:35 ET by BEGRUNTI give you credit for that......I was completely expecting "you are nazi" response.

October 23, 2008 - 09:58 ET by R D HelmMy free thinking...
LOL. That's rich. You haven't posted an original thought on this site yet.
I will commend you, though, as you are a little more slillfull at regurgitating your Marxist professor's socialist bile than are some here.
..and traveled the world.
Ah, yes, the obligatory "mine doesn't stink but yours does" assertion. I, too, have traveled rather extensively, and have seen first-hand what socialism does to other countries. Perhaps you should have left your rose-colored glasses behind during your travels, as you apparently missed a few things.
We elitists will have the last laugh when our messiah takes over for the biggest failure of a president in US history.
Actually, the biggest failure as President in the history of this republic was Jihad Jimmy. However, as your "messiah" is a far bigger socialist than even he was, I expect his failure as POTUS will dwarf that of the peanut farmer's.
It is those of us who cherish true freedom who will be having the last laugh. Your "messiah," should he manage to get himself elected, is going to be resisted. That resistance will come in many forms, some of which you and your Marxist friends aren't going to like very much.
What is more, many of the ignoramuses who will vote for this fraud of a candidate, should he get elected, are going to soon find out what his true nature really is all about. That is not going to be good for your "messiah."
We in this nation who truly love freedom are not going to just stand idly by and allow the freedoms that made this country great to be taken from us. There are far more of us in this country than you realize.
You claim everyone here at NB has the same views. Apparently you have us confused with the Kossacks, because you could not be more wrong. There are a lot of people on this site who do not like McCain.
For future reference, I don't watch Fox News, nor any other TV news network.
BTW, I am not a republican. I am a libertarian. We are far-and-away the freest thinkers around.

In order for wealth to be spread, it first must be seized.

October 23, 2008 - 14:38 ET by guttermouthSo you're the elitist. See: sarcasm. I have no messiah. I do not believe in messiahs, saviors, resurrections, blah blah blah... Which I guess makes you better than me, 'cuz you get to go to heaven...and I get to rot. Congrats. No, I take that back. You're still regurgitating the same rhetoric that's a staple for this site. Congrats on being "far and away the freest thinker[s] around." I consider myself to be a free thinker too, and yet I don't have to belong to a club to be proud of that free thinking. I must admit, I like that Ron Paul - you should have elected him. He's crazy as crazy can be. But my thoughts come from different party views. A little of this, a little of that. Why, you ask, would I spend my time on this site? To educate myself. I wanna see what makes people like you tick. If I were to surround myself with people like me I'd never learn anything new. Progress comes from different people with different views sharing ideas and evolving (oops, was I not supposed to bring up evolution?).
But you're definitely wrong about Bush. He is, and will go down as the worst president in history. Jimmy Carter may have blown it, but he only blew it for 4 years.
Congrats are due though, on your world travels. You know what I found on my travels? I like this country. A lot. But it's broken, and my eyesight is crystal clear. People like you hide behind the constitution and pull from it only when it benefits you. Talk about freedoms, and consider what our current administration has stolen from us. Your right to privacy is gone. Don't care? Fine, but I do. And it is my right under the US Constitution. Which rights do you want to trade in next? Wanna trade in your gun to get your privacy back? Not me. I want 'em all back.
Sticks and stones, right?
December 23, 2008 - 07:33 ET by bretzysdudeSticks and stones, right? But I'll continue to post here and call out BS as I see it.
Well, where you have been now, b!tch? I suppose you ran out of ammunition. Either that, or somebody hit you with sticks and stones.

October 21, 2008 - 21:27 ET by MrShyLet me give you a shining example of how, indeed, my elitist brethren here in liberal/progressive New York City sees anything and anyone not in lock step with their insularly hip world. Below is the wrath I wrought (and this was unsolicited -- he was following a debate I was having with someone else) from an old musician friend, if you can believe it:
Subject: Poor misguided, fashionable, contrary twit.
Sad. Just sad. The people you look on as your "better choice" - your "real Americans" revile you, revile where you live, your family, and the very way you were raised. They detest people like your mother, father, and brothers, just for how you've lived, and for what you do or do not believe.
They hate your musician, Broadway-acting, Professional Children's School, non-straight-job, un-married 40+ self. YOU, [Mr. Shy], are NOT AMERICAN ENOUGH FOR THEM. They detest you and your type, your ilk, your friends and the people you love. And yet you buy it. Sad, my brother. Enjoy the pucker of withdrawal, when they pull out, and you realize who you sold your ass to. Pity.
Unreal, isn't it? Apparently, I betrayed him and walked off the Dem/lib plantation, leaving behind the "good, true people who are my only real friends", essentially. I'm on my own now.
He clutches to this horrible, uber-stereotypical Republican/conservative myth, and that "they" (like my friends here at NB) are MY ENEMY. Period.
Is that beyond divisive and sick? It is. That's how stealth today's liberal movement is.

I mean, it really is jaw-dropping. Look at his choice of words... that non-liberals/McCain supporters -- someone like YOU, MightyMouth -- you "revile" and "detest" people in the arts, and all things creative, and at your core you are really just.... sheesh, hell if I know.

I'm this close to jumping in and leaving a can of whoop-ass, telling his friends "he is not as he appears..." :p
Instead, I'm just ignoring him. For now.

i ask those Federal Agents. Did he threaten the VP Candidate of the United States. is he signaling someone. a special prosecutor should be paneled to investigate this veiled threat. he should be held until after the election for everyones safety?????????? is he that crazy.

October 20, 2008 - 16:09 ET by DoktorFrankenSadly, the way Maher phrased it, he made it sound like a wolf would be shot after Sarah's undefined death (he did not mention exactly how Sarah would come to her end), not the human candidate for VP.
Maher has been reincarnated as a worm turd so many times he can't divert from the ethics he's become so used to.
Maher will be reincarnated

October 20, 2008 - 14:34 ET by XJ.JonWe all know that, if the "Fairness" Doctrine is restored, the MSM will not be affected because, after all, they are already "Fair" and "Balanced". Except of course, FoX News.
America, where are your true colors? The colors of Liberty, Justice, and Freedom? The foundations of smaller government that our forefathers so earnestly warned us to preserve??? How many times must we open up our textbooks to point to the things they warned us--WHAT?!? they aren't there? Well, THAT is the problem.
under the Fairness Doctrine...
October 20, 2008 - 18:35 ET by UndercoverConservative...doesn't Obama need to buy McCain a half hour of prime-time television time on three major networks right before a huge popular sporting event?
yeah, right. Not that "fair" is is? Doesnt the constant public funding of PBS count already as funding "the other side"?

Put down your broad brush, please.

Would you like to suggest that Maher loves America?
Or even likes it as a friend?

I don't know about you, but that comment seems to insinuate that Barack Obama supporters are "America haters," does it not?
ARzip, You just take it
October 20, 2008 - 15:51 ET by XJ.JonARzip,
You just take it to insinuate whatever you want. There is absolutely no point in trying to convince you otherwise.
If you really want to know, we're talking about the likes of Bill Maher, MSM anchors who repeatedly promote socialism and bash those who promote freedoms. We're talking about the part of this country that ignores the warnings against larger government, and fights the promotion of personal responsibility, and personal Freedom.
ArkZip,
October 20, 2008 - 17:35 ET by IamTinmanNo, I meant shove him under the same Obama bus with Jeremiah Wright, Father Pflager, William Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, and all the other anti-american folks he's stuffed there in the last few months.
Tinman,
October 20, 2008 - 17:57 ET by Indiana JoeSee, that's how I took it. "Under Obama's bus" obviously has it's own meaning nowadays; all the people that Obama tries to dissociate himself from.
Maybe it was just too "nuanced" for the Zipster.

Capitalism and individualism haters? ABSOLUTELY.
I am about tempted to tell the Obama supporters/worshippers here that I cannot vote for him because I am not suicidal, physically on economically. Why should I support a man who has promised to slit my throat once in office?
Whoever casts a vote for Obama-Biden is nothing more than a common thief. Whoever fails to vote against them is nothing more than a moral coward.

October 20, 2008 - 15:44 ET by NorthCoasterI used to watch this "comic" until he was no longer funny. There used to be interesting discussions and funny segments that weren't mean or nasty or filthy. After a few of the mean, nasty and filthy bits, I decided that my choice was to watch something funny instead of pitiful.

Then again, maybe Maher will be reincarnated as river rat that gets eaten by a wolf.....
Is there a bigger story here?
October 20, 2008 - 17:12 ET by siouxperIs there a bigger story here?
It seems when anyone posts something on YouTube that even remotely embarrasses the Messiah, or one of his willing disciples in the media, it is suddenly "no longer available."
That's what America will look like if Obama wins. Free speech, as long as it lifts up (what will soon only be known as) "The Movement."

October 20, 2008 - 18:01 ET by Chris NormanWhen Obama wins, the Dems completely control Congress, the Republicans are totally ignored by the media because they are no longer perceived as a threat, the fairness Doctrine silences conservative talk radio, and Maher and Stewart are reduced to telling jokes about the weather and allergies, where will they direct all their hatred and ugliness?

Maher was a butt-orifice in his previous life. Because he made such a good butt-orifice, karma decided that he should remain a butt-orifice.

Too Stupid for Words

I think someone should shoot Bill Maher just to put everyone out their misery. These people have the nerve to put down the country that has given no talent blow hards like Bill Mahar the chance to spew his crap. Bill Mahar better hope we don't meet, I may not shoot him, but I may flatten that big hooked nose of his.
