I always liked the Mother Theresa comment that guy made. Enough in his case is too much. How can you talk about that multi-annual HBO event?

Relax and get ahold of yourself, there's still hope socialism hasn't enveloped us. It looks like you’re answering yourself, David.

And the audience laughed - proof again that the masses are asses. Maher is decidedly a third rate comic – he must grab his material as best he can -hence the totally cheap shot on Weiner’s name.

Sorry you couldn't handle my hyperbole. Looks like my initial estimation of the potential in this exchange was correct. It's not character assassination. He's the one committing character suicide here. I'm just pointing it out. I haven't lied or smeared at all -- just made a legitimate argument about character. Sorry you don't have the stomach for it. The Left and the Right are not diet pepsi and diet coke. More like Everclear and milk if you like such metaphors. I don’t hate Bill Maher. Sorry you couldn’t handle my hyperbole.

If you are nice to him, maybe he will let you in on his monlogue/rant. David, you need to be paid more just for the pain of watching Maher in our stead. It will be impossible to keep him honest,since I don't believe that he has that gene.However, I do appreciate your sacrifice for mankind. Now, if someone could please give Mr. Maher an integrity and truth transplant we could all rest easy. Bill Maher,the toadish playground bully.

As one with a "unique" last name, I know how easily others can use it as the "go to" tactic to get under someone's skin. Maher often derails an otherwise interesting discussion with an attempt at a cheap laugh. I thought Rep. Weiner handled it with dignity and sidestepped what could have prevented him from being as informative as he was. Where Maher shows his true colors is on 9/11 gatekeeping (which is one reason he will be forgiven many other stumbles). He is a self-professed skeptic that just happens to believe in ghosts. And the conspiracy theory he buys into is the official one put forth by the 9/11 Commission. Maher’s comedy is often quite lowbrow and/or unamusing (the two are not necessarily incompatible).

The reason behind the 9/13/09 blog post against Bill Maher is either based on hate and bears no objective arguments or is the product of a larger character assassination campaign. Again, this is fine by me as it is as transparent as it is obvious. I read the 09/12 post. The so-called conservative media strategy will arguably bear the fruits desired by its proponents. I do not know what will be its results and I’d rather not be caught confusing the desirable from the real. Looking at its outward aspect, what looks like a strategy, with a planner, tactics and projections, may actually be the unintended product of the sum of individual activities with no or little encompassing coordinated efforts. Watching media mediocrity spreading to the right is causing me to reject both outlets on equal grounds. The wee difference between diet pepsi and diet coke is fading quickly but the entertainment value remains. I conclude by the absence of a clear response that my assumption was correct.
