Bill Maher And Rep. Weiner Go After Beck, Palin And Clarence Thomas’s Wife

video
» 145 comments

Given some of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s other TV appearances, putting him on Real Time with Bill Maher on uncensored HBO seemed like a can’t-miss idea. And if there was no talking over one another like, say, here, there were plenty of cracks about Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Glenn Beck’s audience…and Clarence Thomas‘ wife.

Maher opined that perhaps the influence of Palin and Beck had peaked, that “the fever has broken on crazy” in America. Weiner agreed, while also taking a bizarre crack at Beck’s audience, first saying he has “less than 300,000 viewers” (not according to this), and then said that equated to about “150 shoes” among the lot. The American Spectator’s John Fund also agreed that the intensity of Beck’s popularity might have waned, though he figured the results of November’s elections – and the belief President Obama was moving to the political center – had much to do with it (and he corrected Weiner on the size of Beck’s audience).

Then, talk turned to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, who works for the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Recently, news came out that Thomas “amended 13 years’ worth of disclosure reports,” which previously omitted the details of his wife’s work with the Heritage Foundation. Maher wondered, “Should he really be on the Supreme Court if he can’t even check the box?” Weiner thought Thomas should “recuse himself from any decision about the health care plan,” while Fund argued for judging Thomas and his wife separately. Weiner wasn’t hearing it, calling Thomas’ wife “a walking conflict of interest.”

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, also on the panel, stayed above the fray, saying there were “separable variables” at play; i.e. one must look at whether they object to Thomas’ wife’s work itself separately from whether they think it constitutes a conflict of interest for Thomas with the court. Leave it to the least political person there to express the most reasonable political views. Video of the clip, via HBO, below.

    What else are they supposed to attack, besides Fox News and conservatives? The economy is in great shape, we have a balanced budget and Obama is doing a great job, so there is nothing for Maher and Weiner to really talk about besides conservatives.

    Ahh arrogance and elitism, gotta love it. And yes Tyson is flippin awesome.

    Clarence Thomas may go down as one of the most morally corrupt and inept Justices in modern history. From his debut with Anita Hill, who was obviously telling the truth about this sexual peccadillos, to his wife’s outrageous behavior, this guy is an insult to both the justice system and to Black Americans. I think it was ex- Sen John Danforth, who championed Thomas’ appointment who said that Thomas was the most qualified Black jurist in the country. Quite a let down from Thurgood Marshall, who definitely was one of the best Jurists. I’m surprised that rightwinger/conservative types don’t get the nonsense that’s been layed on us by the reactionary forces in this country. From what’s happening in the Middle East, I think the tide is turning and even Americans are starting to see through the sham of democracy that’s been practiced in this country.

    For Beck, Palin, Thomas its all about the money. Selling fear is very profitable.

    Clarence Thomas has long been an embarassment to the SC and the US, it should come as no surprise that his wife is delusionally stupid. It’s unfortunate he was ever confirmed.

    There is a perfectly simple answer to why you see Leftists…Libs and the breast-feeding media who adore them…go apoplectic with rage: The Left has lost its ability to hide. So, the angrier Mr. Hot Dog gets or the more livid someone like Schultz or Matthews or Krugman become, I’m convinced that it’s because they realize the days of subterfuge and misdirection are over. Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings aren’t around to save them any more.

    All lawyers, including Supreme Court judges, are urged by the code of professional responsibility, but not required, to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Thomas is not breaking the law because his wife gets money from the Heritage Foundation, per se. And given the non-stop attacks on Thomas, essentially because he is conservative, I would judge his treatment on this subject by those on the left as partisan. Though, pointing out a possible conflict of interest is certainly appropriate. If Thomas or his supporters do not like that he should avoid the appearance of impropriety.

  • valkyrie101

    It is important to point out how silly and unreasonable Glenn’s stuff is, but Glenn (and Rush, etc.) is very important in the national dialogue because he brings out the deepest darkest fears that lurk in men’s hearts. And Glenn is a proponent of non-violence, so he knows what to do with those fears.

  • ProgLib

    Because of roles were reversed Rush and Hannity would never have a problem with a supreme coutr judge’s wife being a lobbyist. Beck would draw chalkboard connections to the Attila the Hun and look how he ended up up.

    Oh! Absolutely! The jig is up with Libs. All that socialist, Keynesian mumbo-jumbo has been proven to be just that, and these Libs know that their ‘message’ has failed. You see Libs talking about an inability to ‘get their message out.’ Well, if your ‘message’ is proven to be a lie, then it no longer becomes a matter of HOW you say it; it is WHAT you say.

    And I firmly believe the BEST thing ever to happen was for Nancy Pelosi and Hairy Reed to come along and rule government in a Liberal way. That’s all we needed. All we needed was a period of unfettered Lib control of government so that Liberalism (and Keynesian thought) could be proven to be one big EPIC FAIL.

    Glen Beck went into total meltdown this week. His conspiracy theories concerning the Egyptian crisis left only the crazed “true believers” doubting that the wheels had come off of this mans car. What a serious nut job. I have always said Beck reminds me of Mussolini. He never reminded me more of him than this week.

  • Sidhekitten

    Congressman Weiner is absolute proof that you get the government you deserve. Think on this a moment, what kind of person would you have to be to actually agree with this whiner much less actually vote him back into office. Now think about the number of people that all had to agree that Weiner is “their guy”. Damn, I think I need to call Chris Mathews and order a drink, my skin is still crawling at the thought. On the bright side, at least we now know who watches Bill Maher on HBO, yep, “Lil Tony’s” people.

    Weiner has had a hard on (sorry about that) for Beck since Beck made fun of him over the Goldline issue. The little pencil has let Beck own him for months and he just can’t grow a pair and get over it. I hate to give away secrets, but Beck has trashed himself worse over the years than Weiner will ever be able to figure out.

    As for Justice Thomas, whatever. This tactic is so transparent that my Borzoi could figure it out. Weiner has been sent out to lay the seeds of discontent over Thomas to try and force him off the coming Obamacare review, thus dropping the number to eight and at best getting a deadlock out of the court and at worst getting it to go the lefts way. Or maybe they want him to stay so that if Obamacare goes down that the decision should be ignored because of the courts corruption. Maybe… nah that is a bit to tinfoil hat time, or is it?

    What this little Weiner has either forgotten or never thought of is that they have their own walking conflict of interest and she much closer the ethics trap than Thomas. Can you say former Solicitor General Kagan. Hmmm, what is she doing now I wonder? Oh, that’s right, she has a new gig, as a Supreme Court Justice. I’ll see your bed partner and raise you an actually party to the case.

    Weiner has little room to talk. He was fined twice for FEC violations-once for $47,000. His new wife is “Huma Abedin who was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her father was of Indian descent and was a Middle Eastern scholar who died when she was 17 years old, and her Pakistani born mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia. At the age of two, her family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.Huma Abedin began working as an intern for the White House in 1996 and landed an assignment with the First Lady. She currently works for Clinton at the State Department”
    Most of the wives of Democrats don’t take their husbands’ last names, so it’s usually a little more difficult for the public to ascertain the connections.

    Beck’s program this week has been exposing the relationships and history between the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorism, Iran, far-Left agitprop, and Soros. Personally, I believe in following the money. WHO benefits financially if Egypt becomes a theocracy controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Middle East becomes completely unstable? Perhaps, Weiner ought to think about what happens to Israel if Egypt goes the way of Iran. The notion of a Caliphate is NOT an unreasonable fear in today’s world.

    We ignored and minimized the influence of Osama bin Ladin during the Clinton administration, and how did that work out for us? (And, by the way, what WERE in those documents that Sandy Berger stole from the National Archives?)

    Lets mot forget all this outrage from Maher is fake. The guy has no conviction in his body excpect to the dollar. Back in the day (mid-90′s) he used to be a hard-core libertarian while on Comedy Central’s Politically Incorrect, but when HBO gave him a contract (via ABC), he IMMEDIATELY switched his “deeply held convictions” and became a far-left loon. The only difference between Com Cen. and HBO is the fact that HBO pays more so its obvious that Maher switched his views for the buck.

    I’m sure if you offered him $20, he’d become a Tea Partier.

    This is what should disturb any thinking person, Beck and Maher (being entertainers-pundits-commentators) have no direct influence over policy or legislative decisions. They have the ability to sway viewers in certain ways which may cause them to vote a certain way for a CANDIDATE, who in turn may eventually legislate favorably to those viewers. You can turn the channel off or on either one.

    Weiner on the other hand has DIRECT power, authority and capability (as a sitting member of congress) to actually change laws, policies and regulations. Having proved himself a blatant liar on more than one occasion, that (in my book) should give everyone pause.

    Weiner has a real seat at the table, he’s taken an oath, he’s an official, not a pundit or a commentator. He’s a poster boy for what is wrong with Congress.

    Oh, and he’s also just an awful human being, the product (I’m sure) of being a short small framed wussie who was stuffed in numerous lockers as a youngster.

  • Sue

    If Maher keeps up the hatemongering fest and includes his ugly buddies who also hate, we might actually find out where the rocks these guys live under are. I mean, you could follow their slime trails, but, they always seem to lick up the evidence. Truly gross hominids and Weiner is one of the worst.

    you’re (F)Right WINGNUT response is what’s predictable & tiresome.

    Why would Maher & the Honorable Congressman Weiner “go after” Dems doing their job?

    question for you WINGNUTTER, why do you hate Pelosi so much? the first woman speaker of the house, a white christian married to the same man forever with a scandal-free career. we know it’s not because she allowed her duties to be compromised by being an “emotional woman” – because BOEHNER, THE WEEPER OF THE HOUSE cries more than any woman i ever knew.

    Glenn Davis can’t even claim to have a movie version (Prince of Egypt, Disney) understanding of the Bible. Since it is elemental and primary to our entire western paradigm, I wish someone, perhaps an editor (Helloooooooo?), would remove him from writing about religious issues in politics, until he READS IT! He makes this “news site” look like a bunch of morons.

    Glenn Beck is wearing robes and bearing a staff like Moses because the believers in the Bible, both Jews and Christians, need to be led out of Egypt. The new plagues, violence and islam, have already started!

    On the other hand, this is probably just a propaganda site after all.

    Weiner has little room to talk. He was fined twice for FEC violations-once for $47,000. His new wife is “Huma Abedin who was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her father was of Indian descent and was a Middle Eastern scholar who died when she was 17 years old, and her Pakistani born mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia. At the age of two, her family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.Huma Abedin began working as an intern for the White House in 1996 and landed an assignment with the First Lady. She currently works for Clinton at the State Department”Most of the wives of Democrats don’t take their husbands’ last names, so it’s usually a little more difficult for the public to ascertain the connections. Beck’s program this week has been exposing the relationships and history between the Muslim Brotherhood, terrorism, Iran, far-Left agitprop, and Soros. Personally, I believe in following the money. WHO benefits financially if Egypt becomes a theocracy controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and the Middle East becomes completely unstable? Perhaps, Weiner ought to think about what happens to Israel if Egypt goes the way of Iran. The notion of a Caliphate is NOT an unreasonable fear in today’s world. We ignored and minimized the influence of Osama bin Ladin during the Clinton administration, and how did that work out for us? (And, by the way, what WERE in those documents that Sandy Berger stole from the National Archives?)

    This is soooooo true!!!! I’m sure there are some good liberals out there that will wake up and see that Beck knows what he is talking about . He will even tell you to look up these things for yourself, don’t depend on what he says and if you are smart ,you will!

    Let us remember that the Judges rarely write their own writs.

    This is true, but some like Scalia do their’s entirely on their own in certain cases. Scalia especially likes writing dissenting opinions since he can say whatever he wants in it. A majority opinion needs to be tempered and persuasive to get the fence sitters to join you. Also it must accommodate the feelings/opinions of the other justices. Drafts are normally written by aides or clerks with instruction and the justices normally revise/re-edit them to their own liking for most cases.

    In r/e Representative Weiner, this is what I emailed him:

    While I sincerely appreciate your right as an American to appear on any show you choose, and to chastise any group you don’t like, as an occasional viewer of Glenn Beck (and many other shows on various networks)I take issue with being “labeled” as either toothless or shoeless by you.

    The implication being that I am poor, unintelligent, ill-educated and obviously anti- intellectual.

    I accept (and tolerate) that from television “pundits”, but I am not in the habit of accepting or tolerating it from a sitting member of Congress.

    Beck goes after these deep-down Modern Liberals/Progressives (my term) because his theory about them is valid.

    Haven’t you ever wondered by the Left and the Right are polar opposites on almost every major issue?

    We can’t have civil discourse because the two sides use different belief systems. For each side, no matter what the other says, both sides think the other side is wrong.

    Since Liberalism has a history of leading to hopelessness, despair and death and Conservatism is about making things better over time, most people do choose the Right. This is why the Left has to suppress speech and control information. It’s why they invented Political Correctness.

    (As I have written here before, the two belief systems are: the Left measures success as when things are “equal”. The Right measures success as when things are better or can get better.)

    Seems you are the angry one when it comes to women. Seems your foul mouth talking to a granny like that will sure win you some support for your liberal side.

    Beck goes after these deep-down Modern Liberals/Progressives (my term) because his theory about them is valid. Haven’t you ever wondered by the Left and the Right are polar opposites on almost every major issue? We can’t have civil discourse because the two sides use different belief systems. For each side, no matter what the other says, both sides think the other side is wrong. Since Liberalism has a history of leading to hopelessness, despair and death and Conservatism is about making things better over time, most people do choose the Right. This is why the Left has to suppress speech and control information. It’s why they invented Political Correctness. (As I have written here before, the two belief systems are: the Left measures success as when things are “equal”. The Right measures success as when things are better or can get better.)

    Good Point!

    I know that is true!! Really like what you had to say about the two sides using different belief systems. Makes so much sense.

    Are you running a collection center b/c that is the only way you get even close to one?

    As I said earlier you are just one more silly clown who thinks he’s bad and dazzling everyone with his same-o same-o juvenile crap.

    Think about the places with the most liberalism applied to people. The best example is the inner cities. The inner cities are the best example because the liberals have had UTTER control for 50 years. About all we can say about the results of this concentrated liberalism is that there is a lot of hopelessness, despair and death.

    The left has had 49 years to adapt and they do not. When anyone opens their mouth, the left cries out attacking the person and bringing racism into the issue. They will do anything to protect their liberalism.

    Hopelessness, despair and death.

    The entire focus of the discussion re: Thomas’ wife was whether Justice Thomas should recuse himself from certain cases. So why bring up the issue of “separate variables” as Dr. Tyson did?

    Could it be the case that we have a well educated African American simply coming to the defense of a ‘brother’ who just happens to be another well educated African American? I think it’s possible, especially given the specious nature of his argument.

    If you think this notion of defending a fellow black man is far fetched, then you’re not paying attention … and I don’t mean the OJ verdict.

    I’ve seen ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg come to Michael Vick’s defense early on when hers was virtually a lone voice.

    I’ve also heard ESPN’s black sports reporter Michael Wilbon try to defend Tiger Woods during the early stages of his scandal.

    It should not be surprising that with 12% of the U.S. population that some (perhaps many) blacks are going to defend each other even when their opinion is shared by such few people. I might do the same if I was in their position.

    Therefore, I disagree with Mediaite’s Glenn Davis when he says, “Leave it to the least political person there to express the most reasonable political views.” In point of fact his argument was weak and added very little to the debate IMO.

    I do enjoy Neil deGrasse Tyson. I really think he and Michio Kaku are the new Carl Sagans as far as creating interest in physics and astronomy among the general population. Tyson obviously has a much cooler head than Rep. Hot Dog.

    Michael_T:

    Could it be, that Mr.Tyson’s opinion was color-blind and was directly on point? I to have seen instances like numskull-Goldburg, sticking up for the indefensible, and most assuredly because he’s Black but, I’ve seen her do the same for that White, sodomizing, raper of a 13 year old child because he’s an internationally known movie Director. Do you think she was padding her opportunity to be in one of his movies? If your going to point your finger at Blacks supporting Blacks, how about pointing at the supporter in charge, Obimbo, who without justification attacked a White cop for doing his job. Each example must be looked at individually, and on it’s merits. In this instance, Mr.Tyson is correct, regardless of whether Justice Thomas is Black or not.

    jo hoochie says: The truly ironic thing is, you don’t seem to realize that the more you try to denigrate, ridicule, humiliate and marginalize average Americans, the stronger that makes us and the more determined we become to get rid of them come election time.Look at Grayson for one. He did this all the time. Did it work?? NO! I read where someone wrote Weiner = fillers and preservatives, no real substance. Seems to be the liberal way! I would agree about trying to denigrate anyone, it shouldn’t happen, however I am just trying to keep up with the tea party. This works both ways. People didn’t fall for Angle’s crazy theories! In turn you do the same to Weiner. Where’s the difference? Beck spins about 50% of his hour and never stops denigrating liberals, but that’s ok? The only thing that really matters is there are people that believe Beck’s lies! When he lies, he says , “he didn’t say it” then they show the clip (he did) then take your pick, at that point he doesn’t bring it up again or spins that he really “didn’t mean it”! Why is this ok? When you are proven wrong over and over, that’s when some denigrate and claim people aren’t too bright for following like sheep!

    oh yeahyeahyeah everyone who is a conservative lies, but the liberals are all truth seekers. give me a break.

    No conservatives, (what teas call RINO’s) don’t lie that often! The far, far right fake christian, conspiracy spin factory can’t deal with the facts when wrong! They get all this crazy, Beck, Fox spin and are uninformed and believe it! Just check, (this site) the next time the tea party tries to prove they are right about a spin lie, it will be to a tea site, Beck, Breitbart, etc!

    It’s so weird: when my wife listens to Beck, she gets “an overwhelming feeling of evil” too. I asked her why, and she said that she could tell that he is a liar by HOW he speaks.

    I’m more empirical and philosophically trained. Beck lies and we prove this day after day. I have a long list of posts detailing Beck’s false claims, and I don’t post nearly all the ones I know about. I have a large unused file detailing many of Beck’s lies.

    Beck is on the wrong side of history again, but — not surprising — he was on the side of democracy in the Middle East in support of Bush’s war of choice against Iraq. He hasn’t changed his mind: Glenn Beck is a hypocrite through and through. I prove this with facts and logic over and over again. And this begs the question: why does Beck has such a large following?

    Yes, he’s persuasive and cunning and gifted. He’s also highly skilled at manipulating his viewers; Beck is a master manipulator. Why else would more of his followers not hear the lies I could detect before starting The Glenn Beck Review. He programs his viewers to dismiss any and all criticism of him, no matter how factual and unbiased, no matter how honest. This has led me to a recent re-evaluation of his intellect as of late. He’s still ignorant about the world, but he’s very bright, clever, gifted, persuasive and intelligent. It’s taken a while to see that, but the link about his manipulation skills forced me into rethinking just how smart he is.

    It’s still all about Glenn Beck. His motivations, according to Beck’s biographer, Alex Zaitchik, “are, and have always been, money and fame. If Beck has a true religion, it’s not Patriotism. It’s not Mormonism. It’s cross-platform self-marketing.” Those who do not grasp this about him, can not hear his lies or hypocrisies, do not recognize that this uneducated, ignorant man is a charlatan and yellow propagandist, are victims more than they are supporters. They are to be pitied, not respected.
