Maher is sort of half right in his usual drug-addled half wrong way. Holding hands and making nice noises at each other doesn’t solve problems or settle debates.

You know, he’s right – there IS too much civility.

The left spouts vile hatred at anyone who doesn’t toe their progressive line and the right does nothing (with a few exceptions like Limbaugh and Beck who are then ridiculed by the leftists media as radicals).

The left goes on MSNBC and and howl in chorus with the anchors there about the right, calling them names and hurling epithets with slobbering glee and the right responds tepidly at best.

Idiots like Maher and Michael Moore say totally ourageous, sneering things about the right and middle America in general (note the above) and conservatives turn their heads and cough politely.

He’s right. There IS too much civility. If the right began to respond forcefully to fools like this, to loudly and publicly point at them and dismantle their arguments with reason – and a megaphone – pipsqueaks like Maher would be put where they beleong – on the fringes of public discourse.

There’s too much civility all right, but not the way he thinks.

I wonder how much time Maher has yet on air. He is going from ridiculous to irrelevant as days pass by!

Hey Bill, did ya hear about KO?

You are next.

Drug addled, Tee Hee. WTF is your excuse?

Right on Bill, Obama is a golden retriever. NObama is a total wimp. Even if he woke up white tomorrow they would still hate him. Jesus and bacon indeed.

“A lunatic uses a Glock to shoot 19 people, and our answer is, ‘Don’t try to control guns or nuts, just be more polite.’ Now, I’m just a hockey mom, but it seems to me when a madman kills people, the problem isn’t the First Amendment – it’s the Second.”

Yes Bill, let’s abolish an amendment every time a nut abuses a right. In one day you loser lying libs would have the 1st. amendment abolished forever.

More racism from the left!

No surprise.

“Then there was a weird line about Obama doing everything humanly possible to make Republicans happy “except using bleach,” (perhaps meant as a dig at Republicans for not accepting Obama because he’s black?),”

Wow- are you a dense lib! It’s more of Bill’s racism- get used to it and recognize it. Your lib shilling is clouding your perception.

Isn’t Mahar’s HBO audience made up mostly of people who have tuned their sets to HBO but are doing something else until Real Sex comes on?

No, Bill Maher is absolutely right. We should make it illegal to own guns. We all know that when something is illegal on one would dare do it! Why that would be criminal!

What was this comment supposed to mean? Was there a reason you posted it, CMD?

Bill Maher has proven time and again that politics doesn’t matter to him. Money matters to him. Ratings make money. Incivility makes ratings.

He did the same thing back when he was supposedly a conservative. And again when he was supposedly a libertarian. Why should it be different now that he’s supposedly a liberal?

The guy is full of sh!t.

If the NRA right is unwilling to compromise on some reasonable and prudent restrictions on gun ownership, the backlash will be repeal of the 2nd Amendment. There are about 80 million gun owners and close to 300 million guns. A democratic backlash by non-gun owners could not be stopped, constitutionally. In their arrogance, the right is pulling the rubber band way way back.

#1 reason for owning guns? Fear.

Fear of other gun owners.

There are about 133 million registered voters in the US and, according to you 80 million gun owners. An amendment has to be passed by two thirds of both houses of congress and three quarters of the states. Please do the math before making any other idiotic statements.

By the way, my next door neighbor owns four long guns and three hand guns. I do not live in fear of my next door neighbor. When I was in college I was threatened by a drug dealer, he showed me his hand gun so I would know that I should be worried. I was scared and then very relieved when the police told me he had been stabbed to death the day after he threatened me. Of these two people I mentioned, which do you think would no longer own a gun if it were illegal?

By the way, my neighbor always carries a concealed hand gun and I live in the State of New Jersey.

valkyrie said:

“Fear of other gun owners”.

No.

Other “gun owners” aren’t the ones who stick a pistol in your face for your money.

Other “gun owners” aren’t the ones who come into your house at night.

Other “gun owners” aren’t the ones who make a woman afraid to walk to her car in a parking garage after work.

Other “gun owners” aren’t the ones who victimize the elderly like the ones who just dragged that old lady down the street after trying to steal her purse.

In fact, other “gun owners” are almost always law abiding citizens who just want to live their lives in safety from predators WHO DON’T CARE A DAMN ABOUT GUN LAWS.

There are millions of “gun owners” in this country who bought their guns legally and with few exceptions they aren’t the ones killing people. The criminals are.

Tell you what, take a stroll at night here in New Orleans. If you get the chance, ask the guy who puts a gun in your face if he bought it legally or not.

Your statement is the usual liberal stupidity.

Civility or lack thereof isn’t the problem. It’s A problem, but mostly it’s because the incivility is a shortcut around discussing specifics. Nobody is prepared to say why they disagree a policy or another politician, they just come up with some theory as to WHY they have their position. Calling Obama a socialist or calling healthcare reform a government takeover excuses you from explaining specific disagreements. Having a problem with mandated healthcare is completely valid. So is disagreeing with funding it for lower incomes. So is disagreeing with tax penalties for those who don’t have it. So is the overall cost. These people should make the argument. Yet nobody (at least on television) ever explains in detail why these things are bad. They shortcut to “government takeover” which is inaccurate, and they don’t say HOW it’s a government takeover.

Likewise, calling Bush a moron or alleging that the war is a favor to Haliburton is a shortcut around explaining why you disagree with the invasion of Iraq and what you would have done differently.

Biggest problem is that outside NPR or PBS, nobody on television or radio devotes extended amounts of time so these discussions can occur. And even they devote enough time to it.

I have to agree with you. I live in Texas where every hothead, moron, idiot and drunkard is fully armed. We haven’t had any gun murders in decades. You will recall when Big Dick Cheney got tanked up and shot Harry Whittington in the face, Mr. Whittington didn’t die. I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

I was under the impression that self defense, and in particular, defense against someone wielding a gun, was the #1 reason for owning a gun? Surely you do not deny that. So, like I said: #1 reason for owning a gun? Fear.

As for repeal of the 2nd Amendment, you are so right that it would be difficult to do, but if people get pissed off enough, they will democratically mobilize. There may be only 133 million or so registered voters now, but there are 210 million potential voters. And I dare say, probably a high percentage of gun owners are not registered voters, and probably too paranoid to become so. The point I was making is that the no compromise approach of the NRA crowd is like an ostrich sticking its head in the ground to avoid an approaching lion.

Repeal of the Second Amendment is not even necessary. It is the most narrow of rights. All we really need is lawmakers with the ethics and the cajones to stand up to the NRA. Of course, the NRA has been a wondrously flowing teat for our ethically charged lawmakers for years.

No gun deaths despite everyone being armed. Yet here in Chicago while guns were banned we were the murder capital of the U.S.

You have nothing of substance to say, as usual, so you use inuendo and misdirection. I can’t remember the last time I read a story in the paper or saw one on the news about a shoot-out between or among legal gun owners. I know there are lots of stories about gang shoot outs and police having shoot outs with criminals, you think these people wouldn’t have their guns if the law said they shouldn’t? Do you think most crimes are committed with legal guns? And, the root question, do you think?

Please provide a reference that shows you assumption that the number one reason to own a gun is self defense. Everyone I know who legally owns a gun(s) does so to hunt, or target shoot, or collect.

Also, you “dare say, probably a high percentage of gun owners are not registered voters now”. Other than your imagination, what makes you say that.

Lying by omission again, racist. From 2001 until 2011, not counting the present RNC Chairman who just took office, there have been seven RNC Chairman. Seems the first African American RNC chairman served for longer that the average of .7 years as Chairman of the party that was formed to abolish slavery. Do you have any other lies to peddle today?

It’s unfortunate that Bill is just playing to his ultra liberal audience in the studio cause frankly I love his humor but he needs to go back to working over the dems as much as he does the republicans….both parties are responsible for everything going on.

Bill Maher has the intellect of a snail, but by constantly moving his mouth for left-wing causes, he hides that condition.

This douche bag’s hair does not move. I went to one of his shows once and he was so pasty white he all most glowed in the dark. I use to watch him but got tired of his bullshit. I have not seen his numbers on HBO but they can’t be that good.

4 posts, 5 thumbs up, 43 thumbs down. Let’s see you beat that King. :-)

You are right, at another thread I counted just his posts on one page: 0-78.

Won’t swear to it, but I think he’s gotten over a hundred and fifty at one sitting. Guess he figures if you can’t be the most liked, be the most hated.

Flat nose spread all over his face, beady little slits for eyes, greasy hair, I mean GREASY
HAIR!. I can’t think of the ex-girl friends name just now, but she put out the word more than once
that Maher had a very tiny pecker. He is about 3′ 10″ in height suffering LMS!
But he has a forum to spew out his BS so I suppose the above listed faults are
not important.
I doub though, if very many people listen to him!

Sorry, I was being a little facitious about that. But to continue on anyway, my retort would be: No, the people, who are empowered to change any provision of the constiution they are unhappy with, via their constitutional right to do so, and the first amendment does not kill 40K people a year, so there is not any groundswell of support for changing the first amendment.

I don’t know, Rich, all I keep hearing from the gun crowd is how important their weapons are for self defense. That’s why they need so many shots in their magazines – the comfort of redundency. And, well, I have no real stats on how many gun owners are registered voters, certainly not all of them. If they represent the national average maybe 65% of them are registered.

Only in tvland and the uberprogressive universe would there be someone called Maher who wanted less civility…why, he doesn’t use any at all, so why is he complaining? Because he hasn’t had any press lately, that’s why! He is just a very sick individual that would normally be checked out by psychiatrist but won’t be because he is a celebrity! But, many may not have guns for self defense, but if you lived downtown L.A., San Fran, Camden in New Jersey, and parts of Brooklyn, you’d sure carry for self defense…no getting around that!!

Yes, fear, the #1 reason for owning a gun. But personally I would never prohibit anyone from keeping a gun in their home for protection. Its those who take them out of their home who cause 99% of the problems.

Yep, and need to be regulated further.

how far is good enough for you sir

Statistically, most people do not own guns, and I suppose therefore that most of the people I know do not own them as well. So you would be in favor of regulation of those 31 shot clips?

i practice handgun , shotgun , and highpower rifle , for entertainment . i started as a youth and have hunted since the age of seven . Mexico has strict gunlaws and they have horrible violence between drug gangs . prohibiting guns has done nothing for the violence in mexico .

Drunk drivers can buy a car , own a car , even work on a car , but , after three drinking and driving violations they lose the right to drive permenantly . restricting everyones right to drive will not fix the problem .

We have the statistical problem of 40K thousand people dying from gun shots every year. So obviously we must be more diligent in the licensing of weapons. Everyone should be able to own a gun for the protection of the home. That is a stay at home weapon and a stay at home right. But to take guns outside the home for recreational purposes, you need another kind of licence, one with stricter scrutiny. And to carry a weapon? Full disclosure on a national registry, except with respect to bonafide security personnel, who, by the way, will nevertheless be monitored by the new, renewed, ATF. Anybody who has a gun outside the home without proper licensing should result in loss of gun, and review by local prosecutor. Stuff like that.

The nature of a militia, is that the coat and gun stay at home, waiting for their use, finally, to defend the nation against foreign invasion. The founders were talking about red or blue coats, not the constitutionally elected government. The militia gun is not for walking around town.

and i am not trying to be a smart ass sir, do you think that the laws you stated would have stopped a shooting like in tucson?

Yep. How does the shooter still have a gun after his community college adventure?

cars kill more than 40K a year, show we ban them too?

Have to take a test to drive.
Driving is also a privilege that can be taken away

You damned right it’s time to stop the civility! I want these idiot political beggars at each others throats. It’s Conservative civility that got this socialist-moron in office. Had Sen.McCain gone for the throat, the outcome may have been very different. Instead we got as milk-toast Republican campaign that tried to be politically correct, while the opponent took every advantage he could.

That of course would be you. You set yourself up for that. Nonetheless, you do have a very small penis. Very small.

Your beating a dead horse.

In the end the media and its pundits will continue their game, beef up their cheering squad team and come up with the occasional human interest story while a comatose America sits home and wonders to itself why the country is going to the dogs and there is no one left to offer a subjective discussion, irrespective of idealogical dogma of what is actually going on in this nation, what it means and how we arrived at that moment.

Instead we will all be resigned to pointing fingers, applauding Hollywood stars who resemble action heroes with perfect haircuts and jawlines and the commiserating the continued liberties of this nation and those brave enough to inspire and engender said discussions. What a bloody shame.

Fear is part of the equation, my friend. Especially for a soldier. The right amount of fear keeps you alive.
There is nothing wrong with fear. So it does not matter that the #1 reason people own guns is because they are afraid. That’s cool.

Hell yea bill tells it how it is,.loved the part where he said conservatives don’t have to worry about Obama being a Kenyan because hes a golden retriever. lol

There are 65 million of people with legal guns in America and not one of them has shot Bill Maher, even though most probably hate his guts. So you see, we don’t need gun control. If Maher ever gets shot it’s gonna be by a criminal with a blackmarket gun.

I could wile away the hours
Conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain
And my head I’d be scratchin’
While my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain

Bill must pay Mediaite big dollars to carry all his ads and BS on this site.

Heh heh…you said penis. Dirty girl.

I think even Olbermann’s sheep-like audience is getting tired of his act.

Edit: replace Maher with Olbermann.

Or don’t. They’re pretty much interchangable.

Yep… he builds a strawman so he can tear it down… nicely said.

OxyCon said:
Now that Olberdouche is history, I wonder how many days Maher has left.
Far-left hate speech just isn’t selling these days.

Maher’s contract isn’t as ridiculously overvalued as Olbermann’s was. Olbermann was getting O’Reilly money for attracting much less than half the ratings. I think HBO is paying Maher in weed and Hugh Hefner leftovers.

Dear Bill the problem isn’t only the issue of effective gun control its the dismal, ineffective mental health system . Anybody with a mental illness needs treatment. Mental illness is a disease and it must be treated. I am not implying that everybody who is mentally ill is dangerous. I do know being a mental health advocate that psychiatric disorders are treatable. I know personally since I am being treated for bipolar disorder. IMHO I found the governer of AZ wants to cut mental health services by if I remember correctly by at least 35 percent. I liked how Stephen Colbert quipped on his “Colbert Report” how reducing the MH budget was crazy but the governer fired every psychiatrist who could make that assessment.

Of course Maher says there is too much civility… If everyone is getting along, what does he have to talk about? The weather? Maher is pretty much a wash thats going down the drain.

Oops. Is he going to be mad because I said the kinder word wash instead of flush?

So the man who is so ardently devoted to defending the First Amendment is so anxious to trash the Second Amendment that gives his beloved first amendment the greatest protection from the tyrants who would destroy it! Maher is a real genius!

How does MAHER get the NERVE to knock the 2nd Amendment when he doesnt even have rights to the FIRST!! HE’s a CANADIAN CITIZEN, for Christs sake… NOT an AMERICAN!!

What he says… means NOTHING. …NOTHING!

NOT EVEN IMPORTANT TO THE DEBATE!!

REMEMBER THAT.
