The death wishes for Rush Limbaugh just never stop. Catching up with the October 9 edition of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher (the get-the-Pope-some-sex edition), Maher concluded with a plea for Barack Obama to tell the gay-left advocates at the Human Rights Campaign he will push for the end of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military (which Obama proclaimed.) Maher cracked:
But forget all the good arguments for repeal, like because it’s the right thing to do, or because it was promised in the campaign, or because it gets lonely on a submarine. Do it because it will make Rush Limbaugh explode like a bag of meat dropped from a helicopter.
The easily excitable Maher crowd was screaming and laughing from the word "explode." They didn't wait for the end to endorse Limbaugh dying. Maher continued:
Do it because it will make Sarah Palin "go rogue" in her pants.
Because here’s the thing about today’s conservatives: they’re not bright. They can’t keep a lot of ideas in their head at once, and by "a lot" I mean two. If can get them worked up about the Gay Menace, it will siphon away all that crazy town-hall energy away from the health-care debate.
At the start of the show, a fake ad for Snuggies and ShamWows hinted at the Christian-bashing to come. They made up this Jesus-bashing concept:
Sham Vow! The Shroud of Turin printed on ShamWow material. It’s the last fake religious cleaning artifact you’ll ever need!

Maher has certainly gone
October 20, 2009 - 18:36 ET by HockeyKidMaher has certainly gone all David Letterman, hasn't he? Old, bitter, and mean. And by "mean", I'm not referring to his hateful nature. I'm referring to his mean intellect, as in inferior quality. (Look it up, Bill--we'll wait for you to write down the one thought your brain can hold while you work on this new one.)
Time to lighten up, there, Bill--all the strain of holding that one thought has made you haggard. (Sorry. We'll wait while you write and then look that one up, too.)

Public Discourse
October 20, 2009 - 18:37 ET by allanfWhat is it the Dems say about the declining level of public discourse?
Maher doesn't know the
October 20, 2009 - 18:48 ET by HockeyKidMaher doesn't know the meaning of the term. Given the topic, he'd probably have one of his girlfriends go on his show to talk about public intercourse.
Personally, I think Maher's just angling for an Emmy. He's lost more than anyone else in TV history--22 times and counting. He's been TV's Biggest Loser since long before the show of that name came along.

Angling for Emmy

Maher has the intellectual presence of a common shiat fly.
October 20, 2009 - 21:17 ET by maxvoltI get HBO for free, not sure how that happened, but for the last 10 or 11 years, its been completly free for me. That said, I can honestly say, if I didnt have it, I WOULD NEVER SIGN UP AND PAY FOR IT. See HBO is no longer about Movies, its about politcal activism, hate whitey, hate America, worship the sex organ, and the skeazy world of boxing. In the old days, you used to get two new movies every week, and then the rest of the programming was movies that had been played in the last three years...not any longer. Your lucky to get ONE new movie a week, and a lot of times its one of those twisted political spin (aka, lies for fools who cant think straight) agenda movies by fraudsters like Michael Moore or worse, Al Gore. After that, you'll see shows like, why Johnny was traumatized by praying in school. or how abortions help girls to become more responsible or other such BS. I mean seriously people, if you have HBO, I damn well hope you arent paying for it, because it is garbage 24/6.95... the other .05 can be had through netflix or blockbuster for pennies on the dollar...and you dont have to ;listen to the atheist foool Bill Maher have his weekly tantrum and pontificate either pro or con President Obama...I mean this guy just reminds me of a second grader who when he doesnt get his way, holds his breath and makes loud noises to get some attention...any attention...but in the end what you get from that immature second grader is far more intellectual than what drips out of Mahers mouth , or worse, his STD infected private parts...the man has serious mental issues, he cant stand America and freedom, and its so sad to watch, this rich elitist pretend he is one of us...little people.
I absolutely agree....
October 20, 2009 - 23:25 ET by ChupacabraI called my cable provider right after he made his repulsive comments about the Pope and had them remove HBO from my line-up. Make sure you get Starz as well since they're the same company.

Maher's been an irelevant,
October 20, 2009 - 21:54 ET by BeukeboomMaher's been an irelevant, bitter, mean and angry individual for years now. It's not anything new. Anyone remember his "movie"? No? Sort of tells you something. He has his niche audience but that's about it. In reality, Maher's not relevant at all.
The Maher, the wearier
October 20, 2009 - 18:38 ET by CO2MakerBill Maher secretly wants to go rogue in Sarah Palin's pants, but, truth be told, he can't even go rogue in his fist.

October 21, 2009 - 08:25 ET by mattm"Bag of meat" reveals a feeling of sexual inadequacy and a deep-seated misanthropy. They aren't quite as demented as your average serial killer, so they simply call people "bags of meat" instead of killing them and putting them in bags.
We're probably all safer with them on T.V. instead of out on the streets with nothing much to do.

October 20, 2009 - 18:42 ET by katainkentwhat is the left's obsession with bags of meat? Scratch that! That was rhetorical. This is another one of those -isms that the left cans and sells for votes and then disposes of, as needed.

We're all stupid. Right, Bill?
This guy has been Queen of the Fargin Iceholes since the late '90s. I threw HBO out with the bathwater because of this guy. So much for "Inside the NFL."
Ah, hell, that show sucks since Len Dawson and Nick Buoniconti left.
OK, back to being stupid. Everybody ready?
I amazed
October 20, 2009 - 19:12 ET by UpNorththe Dish rep when I switched to satellite, he kept trying to push the Free HBO/Showtime/Cinemax package for newbys. I told him not only no, but hell no, I didn't want the trash on my TV. They could give me free lifetime HBO, etc and I wouldn't take it. Maher is just a pathetic, hateful, wizened old man, much like Letterman.
And you're right, B-Town, Inside the NFL has sucked since Dawson and Buoniconti left.
Even more so now

Cancelled
October 20, 2009 - 19:13 ET by bolivarHas anybody toyed with canceling HBO? I don't watch it at all anymore since we have some other good stuff - Encore, Starz and so forth on Verizon FIOS. With the on demand stuff too I think ol Bill is gonna lose another subscriber. I feel so empowered!!!!!!
I have no use for liberal thinking - it is just so......passe.

HBO
October 20, 2009 - 19:28 ET by Joe CamelI canceled HBO in the last month due to all the political fluff on the channel. I can't tolerate Maher, but I never thought he was funny anyway. They put so much liberal junk on the channels, it is not worth paying for. They don't care when you cancel, just like the papers...all about indoctrination.
Maher
October 20, 2009 - 19:37 ET by slickwillie2001Maher is the one most likely to die an untimely death, from a drug overdose, auto-asphyxiation, being shot by a drunk tranny hooker, or all three. He is a self-destructive personality with a short fuse.
Maher is worldview case study
October 20, 2009 - 19:40 ET by ckingmddMaher is an interesting case in worldview contradiction. he proclaims there is no God and distains all things related to the Christian worldview but then has the audacity to proclaim "its the right thing to do". I have news for Mr. Maher if we are all just cosmic accidents of matter in motion than there is no "right thing to do" with respect to any action. Jeffrey Damer and the Columbine Killers were just as moral as the next person. Actually the Columbine killers were actually more consistent in taking action consitent with their worldview than Maher is.
"disdain" is too mild a word
October 20, 2009 - 21:58 ET by Beukeboom"disdain" is too mild a word to describe Maher's absolute borderline psychotic hatred of Christianity.

more "civility" from the pop-left
October 20, 2009 - 20:34 ET by lotrWow, so much for elevating the level of discourse. And the audience actually laughed at this, demonstrating that the sentiment is not relegated to some fringe. It is quite obvious: The pop-liberals hate Limbaugh, Palin et al. The level of hate is quite disconcerting, to say the least. And not only are they haters, they are utter hypocrites because of it.
So, where are the NB Devil's Advocates? It is precisely comments such as these that would cause me, were I a "liberal," to seriously question what side I'm on. God forbid if you ever fail to tow the party line.

I doubt Palin and Limbaugh
October 20, 2009 - 21:46 ET by fitzfongI doubt Palin and Limbaugh would be bothered one way or the other if "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" were repealed. Given the myriad issues that actually affect people's lives...like the Administration's seeming desire to kill jobs, gays in the military is a pretty frivolous "issue".
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered." -George Best
the pop-left would beg to differ...
October 21, 2009 - 09:40 ET by lotrIt's "frivolous" in the sense that the only reason anybody even entertains such nonsensical agendas is because they have the luxury to do so. You never see poverty-stricken cultures advocating anything "gay" -- they simply do not have that luxury.
Lest we forget, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was highly controversial when Clinton imposed it upon the military a mere 15 years ago. Now it is considered "discrimination" by today's pop-left, a mere 15 year later. And so it is with pop-liberalism: Because it is always concerned with "pushing the bounds" (in increments), and because "they" are never satisfied unless they are pushing these limits, there is never an end to it.
"Steady." -- Keith Olbermann to Chris Matthews
I feel sorry for Bill Maher
October 20, 2009 - 23:20 ET by ChupacabraThe man is so clearly lost on a spiritual level that all he has left is to sit around and ridicule people who have found peace in their relationship with God.
And he really does believe he's the "intellectual guy" in a world of morons.
Yet he gets hung up on the silliest bits of trivial minutia that he can wag his finger at and froth at the mouth over. I mean, this is a guy who goes to a converted semi trailer church at a truck stop to debate (harass) people who are away from their families trying to earn a buck, but can still take a moment to remember there's a higher power out there.
Hey Bill: Here's a clue - Jesus Christ says, "Love one another as I have loved you..." That's it. That's the secret. He doesn't say anything about what days you can and cannot eat fish. He doesn't say you have to go to Church on the day we have arbitrarily called Sunday. He doesn't say you have to give so much of your income over to organized religion.
Bill, I'm truly sorry for what was obviously a horriffic experience you must have underwent as Roman Catholic alter boy. I was one too. Nothing terrible ever happened to me, so I'm not brimming over with hate for the Catholic Church the way you are.
But don't lose your Faith, Man. Just remember to love one another as He has loved us.
Chupa...I respect your...
October 20, 2009 - 23:42 ET by PrairieSkysentiments concerning Maher, but after listening to him spout his bitter, bile-laden hate for so long now, I've decided that he's just not worth it. You're very right that he is lost spiritually, but since he doesn't believe in anything even remotely spiritual, it's just a waste of time worrying about why he is the way he is...He doesn't believe that there is anything missing in or wrong with him...In fact, he believes, very staunchly, that we are the ones that are messed up, delusional, and sick.
Like you, I used to wonder what had happened to him that would cause him to become like this, but I honestly just don't care anymore. He is immersed in his own brand of twisted bitterness and ideology. It is a shame.
"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan
What horrific experience?
October 20, 2009 - 23:53 ET by CO2MakerHis wikiwiki biography says he stopped going to Catholic church when he was 13, at the time his father objected to the Church's position on birth control. He's a confirmed bachelor who has dated a Playboy model and a porn actress. The guy's an asshole. He's 53 now. It's about time he got the f*** over it already.
CO2...Agreed...
October 20, 2009 - 23:56 ET by PrairieSkyCan't argue with that.

Don't feel sorry for Maher, feel pity.
October 21, 2009 - 07:43 ET by Mike BrattonMaher is lost because, evidently, he was never "found," as in having saving faith in Christ in the first place. Maher is incapable, as are we all, of "loving one another as He has loved us" because such love is impossible to generate in and of ourselves. Only in Christ do we have the capacity to display that kind of love.
As a former pastor of mine used to say, there's nothing wrong with Bill Maher that a good dose of salvation can't cure--so our best recourse, for those of us who are Christians, is to pray for Maher's salvation.

October 21, 2009 - 00:24 ET by Army Bratdefines toilet humor.
So very childlike. Perhaps I do children a disservice. I would like to believe that the average 12 year old, given some time could do better than "rogue in her pants".
Isn't a state of permanent childhood part of the mental disorder that is liberalism? It would explain a great deal. The childish reference that "rape-rape", Whoopi Goldberg made regarding "Bush". The pre-teen comments made by Letterman...regularly, Mahers ignorance, Garafabufalos constant stupidities.
As for HBO...I dumped them years ago when I found out they were giving some of the money I gave them to anti-gun groups. I will not knowingly support any organization or business that seeks to disarm me/us.

Maher's lost his mind.
October 21, 2009 - 02:25 ET by RR GOPMaher's lost his mind. Actually, probably just too much weed and more money than he knows what to do with. The idle mind is the Devil's playground.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
They better be careful what they ask for.
October 21, 2009 - 06:49 ET by c5thenThe "Don't ask, don't tell" policy allows gays to serve in the US armed forces as long as they are discrete about it. The UCMJ will not be changed by the continuation of or the dropping of that particular policy. So, if DaDt is eliminated, then all suspected gays in the military will be immediately under investigation and face the threat of potentially a dishonorable discharge.
Is this the outcome that the liberals REALLY want? Or, as usuall, is this another case of not following their first thought out to a logical conclusion and therefore setting themselves and their constituents up for the dreded unintended consequences?
If they were really for gay rights they should be pushing for a new policy along the lines of "Don't ask, don't care".

Coming from a guy, whom hangs out at the "Playboy" mansion...(is he married?...does he have a daughter?....what would mom and sis think about it?)...who thinks that we are all stupid, but doesn't understand that most people don't have the time on their hands, to waste on b.s. thinking, and have already cut through it already........what would one expect?
It was a pretty cheap shot a Sarah, on "going rogue in her pants", but I am sure the MSM won't call him on it......and no respectful apology, to be expected........what a classy guy, huh?

Reviling GOD
October 21, 2009 - 09:06 ET by MCLANTIEREReviling and mocking GOD is a VERY DANGEROUS thing to do ... as Maher will experience first-hand. Only a total idiot would jeer and scorn someone who is SO much bigger ... and not too terribly impressed with "comedy".
But, since free-will is the ultimate "do-as-he-will", some people are simply focused and destined for their own destruction. So be it.

Hopefully Maher Will Not Let Up
October 21, 2009 - 09:07 ET by jimrunnerThis sort of nonsense fuels the fires of dissidence. But, with all of the lefties and proges spreading their poison, the antidote of conservatism will prevail. All of these nut cases have been coming out of the woodwork ever since 0Bama was elevated to his current role. Eventually, common sense will hit people like the experience of awakening from a bad dream. Yes, keep the garbage flowing Maher. It will become his undoing.
I used to watch Maher when
October 21, 2009 - 12:01 ET by deerjerkydaveI used to watch Maher when he was on ABC. I've never found Maher funny. Jon Stewart is liberal but at least thinks up decent jokes. Maher is just full of anger and hatred to such a degree that it spills over into his act.
Secret Weapon - Bill Maher Torpedo
October 21, 2009 - 12:52 ET by retspookretspook
As a former submariner I wonder how far Bill Maher would float after being fired from a bow tube. This could be the submarine force's secret weapon. He could talk the enemy to death on his way down. Sorry Bill, submarines do not need gay sailors onboard. Talk about a TRE (Target rich Environment).
