Bill Maher Heckled by 'Tonight Show' Crowd for Saying Conservatives Want to Kill People They Disagree With

By Noel Sheppard | January 12, 2011 | 15:51

Noel Sheppard's picture

Comedian Bill Maher had a tough evening on the "Tonight Show" Tuesday.

As he spewed his typical vitriol at conservatives and Republicans, he continued to get negative feedback from the audience (video follows with transcript and commentary):

JAY LENO, HOST: Your take on this tragedy in Arizona, this gunman shooting. I mean, you always have an interesting perspective on these things.

BILL MAHER: Well, I mean, first of all, you know, we're going to have to hear from the NRA a lot about how this shouldn't stop anything that they want to do. First of all, the NRA should just change their name to the Assassins Lobby, because that's what they are. Yeah, you can applaud that.

Assassins Lobby? As you can see, the audience wasn't thrilled by that. In fact, Maher actually had to encourage a positive response:

MAHER: Somebody should applaud that. I'm -- I'm so tired of hearing about the second amendment and the Constitution. If you love guns just admit it like it's a vice. It's like alcohol or drugs or sex addiction [Scattered applause] or gambling. It's just a vice. It's something you like. It's not good for you or anybody else. You just like it. But stop the bulls--t about the second amendment in the Constitution, because nobody needs --[Scattered applause] -- nobody needs a gun that fires 31 rounds.

LENO: Yeah.

MAHER: That's what this guy had. Although…

LENO: Interesting thing…

MAHER: …Sarah Palin needed five to shoot that moose that was basically on the end of the couch.

[Light laughter]

Actually, it was a caribou, but why would we expect the know-it-all Maher to discern the difference:

LENO: I mean, that was illegal. That big magazine was illegal. Then, it became legal again. I don't know why it became legal again because had this guy -- this guy had a -- you know, the magazine, it fits into the bottom of the gun. But normally it's no bigger than the butt of the gun. And this one makes it extra-long so you get a number he would not have been able to kill if the original law had been in place, he wouldn't have been able to fire that many shots.

MAHER: Well, you know -- okay. But -- but there's a much bigger issue…

LENO: Of course.

MAHER: …which is the psychology of this country which loves guns. It's just a very armed country with a lot of crazy people, which is not a great combination. And somebody also should tell all these people -- these NRA types who think it's great to be armed everywhere. Arizona has one of the loosest gun rules in the country. You can, I think, carry any weapon concealed without a a permit. They want every drunk in a bar to be armed in case a fight breaks out. And these guys always think that, you know, it's great to have a gun because if some bad stuff goes down, I'll be able to stop the bad guy. This is your fantasy, a—hole. You would never be able to do that. People have to be trained for months and months at a time. They have to really know what's going on to be able to stop something like that. If that really happened, they would probably freeze up and shoot the wrong person. So -- so, let's stop that fantasy also.

And also, I think how about the Democrats reclaiming this issue? This is the problem. I understand that the gun lobby owns the Supreme Court, and they own the Republican Party. What's disappointing is that they have cowed the Democratic Party into silence. There should be one party that sticks up for this issue. I’m not expecting it from this crowd, but some audience somewhere should stick up for this issue.

LENO: Now, Roger Ailes said to Fox, they're gonna scale back the rhetoric. You think this will last for any longer than a week or two?

MAHER: No, because that's the rhetoric they love. The right-wing loves, the go-to rhetoric for them is, "Wouldn't it be fun to kill the people we disagree with?" You know, they try to put across this false equivalence. [To audience] No?

AUDIENCE: NO!

MAHER: Really? Then, do you read?

AUDIENCE: Yes.

MAHER: Have you -- have you seen what people have said? Have you seen what Sarah Palin says? You know, she talks about "Don’t retreat, reload.” She says it like a pull toy that's broken, every five minutes she says this. Michele Bachmann said she wants Minnesotans armed and dangerous. Alan West, a new congressman, said he wants his opponent to be afraid to leave the house.

Isn't it amazing how all these liberal media members have exactly the same talking points about Palin, Bachmann, and West?

MAHER: Left-wingers don't talk that way. And also, left-wingers -- even if they do sometimes make a gun analogy or something - their audience isn't hysterical. They're already talking the right-wingers to people who are hysterical and are irrational are highly armed to begin with. 

Newt Gingrich, and by the way, among the right-wing douchebags I hate, I hate him the mostest [ Light applause ] because he -- and he says things -- he said the Obama administration is as much a threat to us as were the Nazis and the Soviet Union.

LENO: Yeah, that’s ridiculous.

MAHER: Now, it's not just ridiculous, but when you, when you characterize the opposition, the political opposition, ass not just the opposition, but the enemy. The Soviet Union and the Nazis were our enemies. Of course, you're going to have borderline people who go and take this over the line. So, so stop telling me that the left and the right are both crazy. Yes, there are crazies on the left, but they're not the same -- they're not gun crazy. They're not violent crazy.

They're not violent crazy?

Well, let's look at some of the things liberals - including Maher! - have said on air in his presence over the years:

  • On Maher, Rob Reiner Equates Tea Party to Hitler: ‘All They're Selling is Fear and Anger and That's All Hitler Sold’
  • George Clooney Exposes Bill Maher’s Ignorant Hatred For Conservatives

He should be afraid. Very afraid. No, I'm not talking about Mahr, I'm talking about Jay Leno. He should be very afraid of losing his audience after tacitly supporting and agreeing with this hateful, illinformed diatribe. Mr. Leno, I have watched your show for many, many years. As of this broadcast YOU and YOUR SHOW will never be viewed in my home again.

You, sir, Mr. Leno are nothing more than a cowardly enabler. You don't have the moral backbone to even question the tactics and hate-filled speech of your guest. You are no better than Mahr.

DF, as you so rightly called Donkey Face Maher, has many other interesting uses.

The one that comes immediately to mind for me, when contamplating that human piece of detritus, however, rhymes with Bum Luck.

Normally, I don't ever click a Maher video, I can't stand the pasty-faced DF.  I had to click this one, though, to hear him fail spectacularly.  What a funny guy, that DF Maher. 

I'd love to see Dennis Miller take on DF Maher.  We know who'd get the laughs, while being witty and spot-on, too.  It wouldn't be the DF.  DF merely spouts democrat talking points.  Hell, he probably writes them.

I hope you don't mind, tingly, but the next time I refer to this CS (rhymes with rock trucker), I'm going to steal your appelation and call him DF.

A few weeks back, I found a video of Dennis Miller interviewing Bill Maher from about 10 years ago, when Miller's show was still on HBO and before Maher was given his own. It's actually really bizarre because Maher is decrying political correctness, and the lack of free speech on college campuses. In particular, Maher dismisses closed-minded college students as "pampered little pr**ks".  Strange, because that seems to be the crowd he plays to exclusively these days. Apparently, having a receptive audience has warped Maher's head since then.

It really must be seen to be believed:

Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

I used to watch Maher & Miller - Maher changed and is now unwatchable.

 

If I recall correctly, it was during O's campaign. The vitriol he spewed was so offensive, I just had to stop watching him.

 

Miller, on the other hand, is basically the same guy, and as long as he stays true to himself, I'll watch him!

 

I have to say, I actually saw a bit of this clip on Morning Joe - they really are trying to NOT be like their pundits!!!

If someone called me a baby killer, Jer---

Submitted by matthewdean on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 9:42pm.

to my face, as a way of being insulting, I would just laugh and walk away because I am not a baby killer.

I do believe, however, that abortion is indeed the killing of babies. 

While supporting someone else's right to kill babies does not make said supporter an actual killer of babies, the unspoken connection there is as obvious to me as it is undeniable.

As a sage once said, "You lay down with dogs, you may get up with fleas".

While I noticed you didn't answer my question about your stance on abortion, I don't really care what your perspective is, because you are entitled to it; and if it is different than mine we will never convince each other of who is on the correct side of the issue. 

As far as Joe Scarborough and his program, I am not a five day a week watcher, mainly because I am not at all impressed with either he, his cohorts, or the "message" that streams from his set out into the ether.

Because I do not want to come up up short of ammo in any "discussion" regarding the Scab, I put in enough painful hours looking at and listening to ol' Joe and his minions to state unequivocally that the Scabster is NOT a conservative.

Then neither you nor kilrod or anyone else should presume to know my postion.  It is far more restrictive than what Roe v. Wade would permit.  And unless you and kilrod are prepared to travel to TX and picket George and Laura Bush and his mom and dad with signs calling them "baby killers" because they support abortion in certain instances, then I would hope to likewise be spared such outrageously offensive slanders and your tacit approval of them.

between expressing your opinion to someone on the internet in your free time and traveling thousands of miles to hold a sign somewhere in the desert, miles away from the person you're trying to express your opinion to. You can't tell someone not to type a 30 second comment directly to you on the computer unless they will also go days out of their way and spend thousands of dollars to speak indirectly to someone.

I've had a hell of a lot of outrageously offensive slanders directed my way on this site, and I didn't assume that because you and others didn't gallop to my defense that you all tacitly approved of any or all of them.

All that to say, fire at will on the slanderer and don't waste your ammo on the bystanders. *ducks*

"No one thinks you're literally a baby-killer".

It might be better to address that issue directly to kilrod.  He didn't mince words, nor is nuance his long suit.  But, frankly, regardless of the actual belief of the author of the term, the usage of such a grossly insensitive and offensive label in and of itself is absolutely shameful, and kilrod deserves no coddling just because he may not have meant it technically.  And I emphasize the word "may" due to the fact that I suspect kilrod does consider me to be an active and culpable accomplice to baby-killing.

Finally, my dear Bru, I believe there have been occasions where even you have reacted very passionately to certain unseemly insinuations made by other posters about you.  No?

If I brought it up on another thread I don't remember. I was just kidding btw.

edit I brought up CXs hypocrisy on the Catholic Church thread when he tried to accuse me of dodging and I brought it up again when he dodged one of my questions last weekend on a Sarah Palin blame thread. If I ever brought up any details of our exchange any other time I would love to hear it. We all know how u feel about slander. Edit part 2 I guess all I am hearing is crickets. Interesting how 3 SN ago when you were choselife3X you tracked months of posts to prove a poster had multiple IDs but you can't track 3 weeks to prove I brought it up on 5 threads. What is that term u like to use when u can't back up an accusation? Isn't it "walk it back?"

I'm not coddling anyone. I responded specifically to this comment, where you said that anyone who had a problem with your views on abortion needed to also picket the Bush residence if they wanted to say anything to you about your views. I thought that was a little extreme. I also thought that accusing people of tacit approval with every insult offered you if they didn't promptly denounce the offender was a little extreme.

My original comment was mostly humorous in intent, if the *ducks* part of it didn't give that away.

Finally, I said to fire away at the slanderer, which is what I have done when slandered. Your last paragraph insinuates that I said you shouldn't defend yourself, which is a patently baseless comment. Since you're more occupied with defending yourself from accusations I didn't make than getting my original point, I'm outta here. I've got places to go and insults to receive.

kilrod is a personal friend of mine. He is a big boy, and doesn't need me to defend him. The fact that you felt insulted by him because of the baby-killer remark is between you and him, and apparently stems from problems that existed long before I ever came on board here. I do get tired of reminding you that posts on a thread are open for comment, and if you don't like that fact, or can't handle posts that you consider "butting in", then quit posting. Your immediate reaction of swelling up like a poisoned pup and threatening to do your level best to get kilrod banned was puerile in the extreme. Your empty threats were precisely what I was pointing out, nothing more, because as I said, kilrod can take care of himself. MD

Well, I thought, based upon our past PMs that you were a friend of mine, too.  If kilrod is a big boy who can take care of himself and doesn't need you to defend him, then it raises the question of just why you decided to do precisely that, especially in view of the fact that--as you properly point out--it was a matter between kilrod and me.  Yet you chose to inject yourself into an exchange--about which you knew nothing of the background--on behalf of someone calling me a baby-killer.  Sorry, I still don't understand it.

Forgive me for being insulted by the label.  I'm sure I must be the only person posting at NewsBusters who could possibly be offended by such a benign term.  But then I'm "puerile in the extreme."

Yes, there is some background.  It just so happens he had called me a baby-killer previously.  And, just as on this most recent occasion, it was completely out-of-the-blue and without any provocation or justification.

But, do as you wish Matthew.  Provide cover for the person who authored the despicable remark and attack  the one who was targeted.  Maybe some see the logic in it.  I don't.

You need to go back and review the thread, Matthew.  First of all, your friend kilrod kicked it off by dropping in on a dialogue about the Civil War to call me a sick, pathetic idiot and stick it up my ass, etc. after completely misconstruing an earlier post of mine.  He then repeated the baby killer allegation he had made a couple of years ago.

Yes I said I would get him banned, but conceded to you that I didn't have that power, etc. Then you started grilling me about my position on abortion and isn't that baby killing.  THAT'S COVERING FOR KILROD.  Never once did you criticize his outrageous personal attack--but instead you butt in to quiz me about my banning authority and equating hypothetical views on abortion--views you are clueless about--with baby killing, as if that somehow justified kilrod's gutter accusations.

Do you understand that?  If not, go reread the posts and think about it.  Note who initiated the vile name-calling, and notice whose side you jumped in to protect.  Covering for him is exactly what you did.

Why do you call me a conservative? Years {5?} ago, after I was blistered on a sweepstakes site in the political forums for my views, a friend sent me a link to determine my political leanings and I scored 100% libertarian.

I'm almost 50, spent my formative years in California and just shy of 12 in the USN.  I've observed our extreme cultural shift and am aware that it's a few VERY loud voices that have shifted us from the basic tenets of the Tea Party to the nanny statism of today.

 

I've seen how the same nanny statism has created perverse incentives and deeply divided us into takers and takees and I'm angry the so called "adults" facilitated this in the name of "fairness, equality, and or change"

 

Enough already. No more - it's why I finally voted last November, and will continue to do so until sanity prevails.

 

If that's being a conservative, then fine.

 

***BTW - I read your back and forth after I wrote the above {was distracted halway through by hubby leaving for work} And while I appreciate you calling me "courageous" for speaking the truth, I left out that they didn't directly address the clip or even attempt to debunk it!!!

 

I was struck by how they are trying to appear fair, but then they spent how long trying to get Chris Cristie to agree that he was wrong??? He astutely pointed out that they had an issue with how it looked, NOT the substance - and that's all them playing the clip was - an attempt to LOOK fair!

 

My observations on Joe are that he would have {and did} agree that for political reasons, Christie should have stayed in NJ. This is the issue I have with Joe - NO substance!!!!

They {MJ, etc.} decry our ADD/ADHD culture of whomever has the best soundbite wins, but they fail to do the backstory on those they disagree ideologically with, hence the noticeable left leaning bias.

 

That's why FOX is a hit - they cover the backstory!!! And I'll never understand why logical, sane pov's are considered extreme while the groupthink one has to REALLY stretch their heads to even comprehend is considered "moderate"!!!

Maher is the idiot who wanted a black president

Submitted by motherbelt on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 5:13pm.

who said he wanted a black president who would  have a gun tucked into his waistband

Now all of a sudden, he doesn't like guns?

His claim that 

these guys always think that, you know, it's great to have a gun because if some bad stuff goes down, I'll be able to stop the bad guy. This is your fantasy, a—hole. You would never be able to do that. People have to be trained for months and months at a time. They have to really know what's going on to be able to stop something like that. If that really happened, they would probably freeze up and shoot the wrong person.

is just B as in B, S as in S.  Maher is the  the one with the fantasy. 

From a NY Daily News story by Glenn Reynolds:

In fact, some mass shootings have been stopped by armed citizens. Though press accounts downplayed it, the 2002 shooting at Appalachian Law School was stopped when a student retrieved a gun from his car and confronted the shooter. Likewise, Pearl, Miss., school shooter Luke Woodham was stopped when the school's vice principal took a .45 from his truck and ran to the scene.

Neither of them even had to shoot.  They just had to confront the attackers to stop them.

A few points about guns...

Submitted by adamsmith on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 4:58pm.

Firstly, the left is going after the number of bullets in a magazine, a typical anti-gun argument. Okay, say he only had a ten round clip. If he had six guns on his person, the result would be the same.

Secondly, Maher says it's a gun crazy country with gun nuts. There are 308 million people in the U.S. and I think 200million guns. If we were as crazy as Penis Nose says we are, there would be statistically something like 5,000 gun deaths a day. I don't think that's the case.

Thirdly, let's for arguments sake say the left succeeds in confiscating every gun in the country. What's to stop a lunatic like the Arizona guy from throwing gasoline on everyone and throwing a match. Bill Maher, I hate to break it to you, but guns are not the only way to kill people. Outlaw them today and confiscate my self protection tools, tomorrow I'm buying a crossbow, a bat, a Bowie knife and bottles to make Molotov cocktails.

Fourthly, I would imagine Maher has armed body guards just like that other anti-gun nut Rosie O'Donnell. Good for me, not good for thee, huh??????

And lastly, the anti-gun morons should pick up a NRA magazine sometime. They would learn that there are something like 90,000 incidents of law abiding citizens who use their weapons to defend themselves, loved ones and property. The anti-gunners always conveniently leave those statistics out.

Oh yeah, sorry Penis Nose but I live by the Constitution and the Second Amendment. I'm a country loving American with rights given me from old rich white guys a long time ago. Before it was a crime to be white....

Armed citizen seconds too late to stop Loughner

Submitted by motherbelt on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 5:17pm.

Joseph Zamudio was legally carrying a 9mm semiautomatic pistol at a Walgreen’s near the Safeway store where the shooting occurred.  Mr. Zamudio heard the shots and ran toward them.  “In that moment, I didn't think about it. I just reacted,” he said.

Mr. Zamudio saw “almost a smirk” on the shooter’s face.  By the time he was in pistol range, other bystanders had knocked Jared Lee Loughner, the shooter, to the ground.  Zamudio assisted in restraining him.  “If I'd gone down there sooner, maybe I could have shot him myself,” Mr. Zamudio said.  If he had been closer, or if other armed and law-abiding citizens had been in the crowd, Loughner’s spree might have ended sooner and lives might have been saved.

Maher actually believes that? Is he lying or does he have some sort of brain damage resulting in partial amnesia. Between Newsbusters and Michelle Malkin's blog I can find enough examples of hate-filled, violent rhetoric from the left and frankly, although I cannot quantify it at this time and don't have the time to do it properly, I contend most vitriol is spewed forth from liberal talking heads, "journalists" (if one can still call them that), celebrities, et al than conservatives of the same or similar professions. Of course this is the same Bill Maher who has proven himself to be a classless, insensitive boob time and time again.

It's time for the gloves to come off and conservatives need to confront these liberal hypocrites with an overload of their own words.

has reached a point, when maybe he should just be ignored. I understand why NB continues to cover him, but maybe giving him our time and attention has become an exercise in futility. Nothing ever changes with Maher...We all know who and what kind of bottom dwelling, radical leftist liar he is...The truth is completely wasted on him...He knows and says only his own brand of liberal hate and insanity. Everytime he opens his mouth, we all can predict what he'll say, before he even says it, so continuing to report on episodes like last night are kind of a waste of time...Nothing new here...Just more of Maher's bitterness, lies and hate. Giving him attention for this, even negative attention, just likely encourages him to keep on with his garbage. He seems to enjoy both the positive and the negative attention his insanity brings him.

Like a small, spoiled child who is throwing a tantrum because it hasn't gotten what it wants, Maher seems to be in the throes of a constant verbal tantrum, because his beloved leftism is going down in flames, and he continually rails at anyone who disagrees with him. Maybe the time has come for this spoiled child to get what it deserves...To be ignored.

Submitted by PrairieSky on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 9:08pm.

Lenny Bruce was certainly controversial for his day, and I'm not sure I would have been a fan (I was 5 years old when he died). That said, I think that Maher goes waaay beyond anything that Bruce said or did. Granted, times are certainly different today than they were then...People are able to say things today with impunity that would never have been accepted or excused back in Bruce's day. Bruce himself got into trouble for using profanity back then, although the words that he got into hot water for using are used like punctualtion marks, today.

There is no way to know if Bruce were alive today, if he would be of like minds with Maher ideologically or in the level of hate and vitriol that we get from Maher. But...Just comparing the two based on what they both have said in their respective time periods in our history, I believe that Maher is far and away worse.

As I'm just a tad bit older (ahem) than you were when Lenny Bruce died,  I wasn't so much comparing Maher to Bruce's ideology as much as I was to his post Kennedy assassination obssesiveness (note Maher's constant anti-religion/conservative comments) which killed both his grasp on reality as well as his sense of humor.  Other than that, I totally agree that Maher is by far the bigger A-hole. 

That's just my opinion; I could be wrong. -- Dennis Miller

Leno has become no different than the rest of the vapid...

Submitted by PrairieSky on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 7:58pm.

Hollyweird empty vessels...He has a talk show that is dependent on having these entertainment industry fools on in order to draw ratings, and like it or not, Maher, jacka$$ that he is, brings in ratings...People likely tune in just to hear what bs he might spew that day. Unfortunately, Leno just sits there and actually seems to agree with Maher from time to time...Pathetic syncophant. I used to like Leno okay, but his willingness to continue to have fools like Maher and others like him on his show, has pretty much killed my interest in watching his show anymore.

I'm thrilled that an audience on late night  television has dared challenge a hysterical lib. Entertainer's like Mayer haven't ever had to deal with backlash...they've been running the show for so long they can't accept their demise.

I never watch Maher. I can afford HBO, but I won't get it...

Submitted by jawebster1 on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 7:37pm.

because of him.  The only time I see him is when O'Reilly has him on his show or when NewsBusters tells us of his of his latest hate filled diatribes.  If I was in Leno's audience office, I would have booed my head off too.  (Not literally.)

I wonder what Mahar would

Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 8:03pm.

I wonder what Mahar would look like if he tried to shoot a gun?

He looks as if even the recoil from a 9mm round would knock him backwards a few feet.  Maybe that's why he hates guns.

Most candy-@$$es do.

If a Liberal/Democrat politician/media figure wants to put their arms around you, or pat you on the back, all they're doing is looking for a good place to stick a knife.

Of course liberals don't react violently...they just wish people were dead and like Rush Limbaugh would die of cancer...geez...what a bloviating liberal dickweed...who are you fooling you whining liberal asshole?  We all know as soon as you finish your stint on Leno you will jump in your gas-guzzling planet-gobbling limo, surrounded by your armed bodyguards...probably carrying Glock 9mils...and jump into your global warming inducing jet and fly away home...where you're probably using enough kilowatts of energy to power your hot tub that could light up a small city....we're onto your hypocritical bullshit, you absolute dumbass...you and Al Gore should spend the night together...in the same room...for a long...long...time...

Jay Leno's guest

I don't care to even mention the name of Jay Leno's guest, I have so much contempt for this 2 legged pig.  He is nothing but an agitator and has nothing positive to contribute to this nation.

Maher has got a point

Submitted by infoseek on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 6:34pm.

Mr. Maher brought up a good point on Jay Leno's show. One of the biggest concerns I have with my gun is the thought of shots go through the walls and hit someone else.  I'm not the only gun owner with this conern.

Like most Americans I don't want open carry of guns. Forget saving the day, and yes, we all start from somewhere but there is simply no denial in the fact we've all seen people who shouldn't carry. 

Have you seen some guy with an inch thick glasses misses his 3 yard target at the range? We're talking about 3 yards and 2 corner holes out of 8 rounds.

How about those with shaky hands we all worry about when they shake their guns into the ammo? No, I don't want those guys on the street with 1 round.

The problem with Leno's crowd is they are probably Los Angeles based and they can't carry out there, so they are probably short on the reality of charged politics out here.

Quit telling me what to do, Jer---

Submitted by matthewdean on Sun, 01/16/2011 - 3:03am.

cuz I really don't jump through hoops for you or anyone else.

You made your posts, I made mine.

I know what I said, I know what you said.

You have your opinion, I have mine.

End of story.

Unless, of course, you want to drag this out as a way to try and somehow convince me (or others) that you are right and I am wrong.

What, do you think, are the odds of that happening?

Hint:  Don't waste your time.

The fact that others proclaim you to be the bestest house lib ever in the history of NBs does not convince me that you are the culmination of all that is good about either politics or mankind.

You are a liberal, and we disagree.
