Into Left Field: 5 of the Most Obnoxious Political Intrusions on Sport

April 3rd, 2014 10:32 AM
It’s Opening Day week and all things are new again. Except the fact that liberals won’t let us just be happy watching our sports. That’s not new. In fact, as anyone who’s read Roger Kahn’s “The Boys of Summer” knows, determined liberals have been trying to suck the joy out of the sporting endeavor for decades. But it does seem that the space carved out for the care-free enjoyment of our…

Bill Maher Quotes Infamous Racist ... Michelle Obama

March 30th, 2014 3:07 PM
What a relief to learn that race is no longer "a Republican or a Democrat issue," at least according to black liberal comedian W. Kamau Bell, one of the guests on Bill Maher's HBO show Friday night. More accurately, race is no longer a partisan issue after first lady Michelle Obama is quoted saying something awkwardly similar to remarks from GOP congressman Paul Ryan that predictably…

March 28th, 2014 7:11 PM
Little more than a month after Alec Baldwin declared “goodbye to public life,” the liberal actor is back in the news after signing on as an executive producer of a documentary entitled Compared to What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank, which will debut on April 27 at the Tribeca Film Festival in lower Manhattan.

Twitter Twaddle: Bill Maher Compares 'March Madness' to Colonial Slave

March 24th, 2014 5:54 PM
Two years ago, Noel Sheppard reported that Bill Maher joked on his HBO show that the NCAA basketball tournament is “the only place where you’ll ever hear the phrase 'Kansas is advancing.'” That’s clearly not a joke from this weekend, since Kansas and Wichita State were defeated in upsets. On his Twitter page, Maher cracked “wise” on Saturday, comparing unpaid college basketball players to…

Maher Said What? Time to Stop Demonizing GOP, Starting with Rumsfeld

March 24th, 2014 6:33 AM
Bill Maher's weekly show on HBO is occasionally a pleasure to watch, at least to this conservative, because he's that rare liberal willing to turn sacred cows on the left into hamburger. Last month, for example, he challenged MSNBC's Rachel Maddow for her network's obsessive with the Bridgegate scandal she clearly hopes will sideline New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's prospects in 2016. A week…

NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ Fawns Over Bill Maher, Skips His History

March 16th, 2014 12:31 PM
Comedian Bill Maher is no stranger to making outrageous and offensive comments, usually directed at conservatives. His weekly HBO program “Real Time with Bill Maher” is an opportunity for the devout atheist and liberal to spew his anti-conservative hate, yet when a major television network profiles his comedy routine, his controversial style is ignored. NBC’s Harry Smith sat down with Maher…

Bill Maher Pats Self on Back As An 'Artist,' Like a Rock Band 'Ahead O

March 6th, 2014 12:30 PM
HBO host Bill Maher is appearing soon as a standup comic in Jacksonville, Florida, and the local Folio Weekly interviewed him. What they found was a man who calls himself an "artist" and  compares himself to "a band that puts out a record ahead of its time." When you trash Sarah Palin and organized religion, that apparently makes you a forward thinker of the first order:

Radical Left Amazed MSNBC Can Be 'So Unabashedly Left-Liberal and Surv

March 2nd, 2014 7:38 AM
They love MSNBC at the hard-left magazine The Nation. Their writers – Ari Melber and Melissa Harris-Perry – have become MSNBC “talent.” Still, in an article on "MSNBC And Its Discontents,"  former Village Voice advertising critic Leslie Savan admitted there that “The daily, hour-long format, often featuring hosts from other MSNBC shows and a familiar rotation of guest pundits can be mind-…

Scarborough Rips Liberal Media For ‘Obsession’ Over Bridgegate; Fa

February 25th, 2014 5:21 PM
Is Joe Scarborough turning on MSNBC? On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, the host mocked the “total obsession” of “the media on the left” in their coverage of Chris Christie’s bridge scandal since early January. Naturally, however, he failed to directly call out his own network for being at the forefront of the effort to destroy Christie. [Video below. MP3 audio here.]

Maher to MSNBC - Enough Already With Your Bridgegate Fetish, 'It's Not

February 23rd, 2014 6:39 AM
You know that MSNBC has leaned too far forward into abject hackery masquerading as journalism when it gets slammed by Bill Maher, otherwise one of its most fervent defenders. On his HBO show Friday night, Maher used the occasion of MSNBC's Rachel Maddow appearing as one of his guests to tell Maddow that her network's obsession with the Bridgegate scandal has become too much even for him.…

Bill Maher Hammers MSNBC for 'Turning Into Fox News

February 20th, 2014 10:10 PM
One way the MSNBC cable channel can tell it's in trouble is when liberal comedian Bill Maher -- host of the Friday night HBO program Real Time who almost got his own show on the "Lean Forward" network -- posts a tweet accusing you of “turning into Fox News” and stating that the channel has “stopped leaning forward” since “Bridgegate has become your Benghazi.” “I'm no good at being noble,”…

Maher Mocks Liberals for Loving Stalin - and His Liberal Audience Sits

February 17th, 2014 8:41 AM
On his latest "Real Time with Bill Maher" show on HBO over the weekend, Bill Maher went where no comedian wants to find himself -- the dead zone of awkward silence from an audience. Maher and his guests were talking about textbook bad hire/turncoat Edward Snowden seeking asylum in Russia and a WikiLeaks tweet praising this allegedly "democratic country" under Putin. (Video after the jump)

Jake Tapper Goes Easy on Bill Maher, Omits His History of Defaming Rep

February 14th, 2014 5:54 PM
CNN's Jake Tapper didn't ask guest Bill Maher once about his vile rhetoric against conservative women in a lengthy, two-segment interview on Friday's The Lead. Tapper asked all soft questions of the liberal comedian who gave $1 million to President Obama's super PAC in 2012. He also brought up the Lewinsky scandal, which enabled Maher to laud Bill Clinton as "respectable" and a "great guy."…

Maher: Christie ‘Turned the Bridge Into the ObamaCare Website

January 18th, 2014 8:58 AM
Here’s something you don’t see every day: Bill Maher poking fun at Barack Obama. On his first Real Time show of the year, the HBO host said of the scandal currently embattling Governor Chris Christie (R-N.J.), “They basically turned the bridge into the ObamaCare website” (video follows with transcript and commentary):
