Bill Maher Not Outraged Over Marine Urination Scandal: ‘If They Were Real Taliban… I’m Not That Upset’

video
» 244 comments

The blogosphere has been ablaze today over a video that has emerged of several U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters. It has been both condemned and defended, but on Real Time tonight, Bill Maher partially defended what the Marines did. While he dubbed the scandal “Urinationgate” and joked that peeing should only take place “in the privacy of R. Kelly’s home,” he thought the outrage was disproportional.

As a matter of perspective, Maher argued that a couple of soldiers peeing on members of the Taliban did not necessarily rank in the top 10 offenses the United States has committed in times of war. Rob Reiner acknowledged he did not condone their actions either, but admitted that “war does make people a little crazy” and “these are the kind of things that happen during war.”

When Reiner brought up the Abu Ghraib scandal, Maher stated that was more of a “premeditated” situation, and the current scandal was more like, to put it in sports parlance, an “end-zone game.” DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz outright condemned their actions as “unacceptable in any way, shape, or form.” Reiner insisted that war is ugly, and while actions like these are deplorable, they should not be unexpected, and we should not be so surprised and shocked when news of it emerges.

Maher again asked for perspective on the issue, reminding the audience these were not innocents who got pissed on, but members of the Taliban.

“It would depend upon what the people they were pissing on did. If they were real Taliban, if they were people who burned down girls’ schools, and, you know, do honor rapes and throw acid in people’s faces, I’m not that upset about pissing on them.”

Maher appears to be echoing similar sentiments to Dana Loesch, who earlier today said she didn’t understand why the video was so controversial, adding “I’d drop trou and do it too.” In her later remarks defending her statements, she said the same thing Maher did tonight, namely that “it’s absurd to desecrate corpses but it’s not wrong to hate terrorists who are trying to kill our troops–and us.”

    To some extent, I can understand what Bill Maher is saying, I do not condone what the soldiers have done, but I do agree, that have been worse things that have been done in times of war.

    Bill Maher is very pro-military.  He supported McCain in 2000 for his military record and has said many times that he would prefer to vote for a veteran.

    Of course he hated Bush/Cheney for the chickenhawks they are.

    God save us all… well except for Bill Maher..

    Even if you don’t believe… we ALL have a conscience..
    Don’t we have enough screwed up vets.. We don’t advertise what failures and mistakes we made.

    America is falling from glory every time we allow any of this as acceptable under any reasoning.
    Not as much the action of the moment we know little of, but the filming of it and displaying to all.

    Don’t let those of the likes of Bill Maher who never served for anything but their own profits, protected by marines before and after, help shit this country down the toliet.

    Service for your country is an honor.. and should be honored at every turn, even when it includes your enemy alive or dead. Or you become what you fight against. Bill saying it “may be” justified, exemplifies how wrong it must be.

    Well don’t give up hope.  Maybe someday you will run properly.

    This is an odd argument to have.  I understand both sides.  Violence begets violence cuts both ways.  It’s a conundrum that we have faced since the beginning of time.  My view is that that I want all of it to stop.  It is all wrong.  Them killing us, us killing them, the atrocities they do to us and vice versa.  There are no winners in this or really any other war this world has seen. The only winning move is not to play, but we play it anyway, and force others into it as well. When I say we, I don’t mean America or our side, but humanity itself.  I am reminded of a line from “Inherit the Wind” and I am paraphrasing here, “I don’t believe man evolved from ape because I don’t see much of a difference.”  I see myself as a realist, but I hope never to lose hope that all this one day will end.  I can dream can’t I?

    Just to be clear these men are not “soldiers” they are “Marines.”  The Army has soldiers, the Navy has marines.  And what they have done is in violation of the Geneva convention, plus, the idiots put it on camera for the world to see.

    Oh how i despise Bill Maher yet I’m attracted to the truth from any format.

    And all of u Democrats, listen to Schultz. What a brainless drone she is, There is no bigger hypocrites then ones who condone actions of combat Marines in battle yet have never been stuck on a battlefield there self’s. Yet have the holy audacity to criticize professional warriors such as Marine Scout Snipers.aka(HOGs) That she and her president sent there in the first place. She would have been much happier if they came back in a body bag. I wonder if the Marine parents are upset there kids killed the enemy instead of the enemy killing them?

    We should reward them for there killing of the enemy. Yet our government will punish them for bringing the ugly truth of war on video to our living room.

    I finish by posing the following Question. 
    Who would you rather have on your side in a foxhole fighting for your life These Snipers, or that little hideous wretched vermin Debbie Ugly Face Schultz.

    I’ve only heard about it when I’ve come to the blogosphere.

    Although there is a point to be made about proportionality, Bill Maher continues his recent trend of bad judgement calls.

    “pro-military”

    I’m not sure what that means. Who isn’t pro-military? In our country it is civilians who decide whether or not to go to war and who set policy for military engagement.

    But I think it’s fair to say although he favors downsizing the military and limiting our foreign entanglements, he is pretty even handed when it comes to fighting rightwing extremism/fundamentalism/terrorism wherever he sees it, whether it’s islamic, jewish or christian.

    A lot of liberals agree with Maher on this but won’t say it out loud. The Taliban stands opposed to everything we stand for: freedom, democracy, tolerance, rationality, you name it. This liberal hates the Taliban, and if there was a real live Taliban in front of me, and I knew he was a really bad dude, I’d not only pee on him, I’d make him eat my crap. Then I’d shoot him.

    These guys did something wrong, all right — they took pictures and got busted. They (further) damaged America’s image. You can’t let stuff like this get out. Don’t document it. Just enjoy the moment.

  • Hout Bosques

    That’s closer to what Rob Reiner said, not what Maher said. I’m kind of with both of them, but way more with Reiner. Look – if we know we’re in a “good war”, like WWII against world domination by Jew-hating, Jew-murdering fascists led by a fanatic on the one hand & defending against a stupidly suicidal but nonetheless completely seriously ruthless unprovoked attack on us by a feudal nation bent on taking us down, hey, THERE. ARE. NO. LIMITS. – war is hell but we didn’t go out looking for war, war went looking for us. 

    But – the behavior of individuals doesn’t alter one iota whether the war is a good one or a bad one, & if you’re going to send our troops into a bad war, an awful lot of them are going to behave badly because they’re in a F***KING WAR, for Pete’s sake.

     I view members of the Taliban more as savages than human beings, therefore, I don’t get the outrage here. Also, when draft-dodging politicians in DC express outrage over this video, I find it offensive. If these ‘outraged’ politicians think they could handle the ugliness of war any better, why not bring the troops home now and enlist in the military themselves? Both parties use our military members as political pawns, which disgusts me way more than any video ever would.

    1. Americans dropped not one, but two, atomic bombs on innocent civilians.

Isn’t killing the person enough? Ending someone’s life? It seems like the beginning of a slippery slope into doing more murky things.

    If you can pee on the dead body, what else will you be able to justify when things go bad. I feel like some here would let people do ANYTHING to a terrorist… even though you don’t even know what a terrorist is… it’s a faceless entity the government/news tells you about sometimes.. and you don’t even care. It’s a little stomach-churning to be honest. You’re so convinced of killing these nameless people in another country, you’re willing to let our country do shameful things. *sigh*

Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

    The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize.As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.Rep.

    The Taliban only exists to implement policies from the stone age and spread violence – there is nothing good about the Taliban. The Taliban is committed to causing harm and violating human rights, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

    Yes, America has done bad things in times of war, but what do you think war is? America is not solely dedicated to causing violence and taking away human rights of people we disagree with – there is no comparison between America and the Taliban.

    This is nothing but an exercise in situational, exploitative outrage. The phrases “defile” and “desecration” popped up on Twitter every minute or so. If “desecration” is a concern for progressives, where was their outrage when the remains of over 200 Air Force members were dumped in a landfill? I’ve seen more outrage towards our troops over this incident than I have ever seen towards the Taliban themselves who’ve beheaded soldiers (American and Afghan), raped and tortured women, sent out suicide bombers, and carried out horrific attacks.  The disproportionate anger on the part of progressives is fueled by their dislike of our military. That is what this proves. The left is attacking the military while they give the Obama administration a pass–unlike what they did with Bush and Abu Ghraib

    You are again probably right, but why does this become a conservative/progressive issue for you? Shouldn’t Maher, a liberal, be castigating the marines and condemning the “desecration” of the dead bodies, etc., according to your theory? Most of the coverage I have seen on this has been on Fox News and there has been mostly agreement that the whole thing was unfortunate.

    I would think that the Ron Paul supporters would be morely likely to be ripping our marines over this than Obama progressives, who still support a US military presence in the middle east.

Or the buses carrying women and children that are blown up by road side bombs?

    Maybe your life isn’t in direct danger, but Muslim terrorists sure are causing violence and taking away human rights of innocent Muslims and Christians in the Middle East.

    Being blown up by whom? 

  • DoNotMindMe

    The Taliban’s sole purpose and reason for existence is to implement regressive policies and cause harm to people that don’t agree with their radical ideology. 

    Yes, Americans have had to make some ugly decisions in war time that have hurt innocent people in order to achieve a greater good by eliminating bad people as well. But that’s WAR – there are casualties, and unfortunately, some are inevitably innocents. 
    There is no such thing as a ‘GOOD’ Taliban member, so if you are suggesting we can’t make ‘blanket statements’ about them – I call BS. 
    99% of Americans are peaceful and dedicated to spreading good in the world, we are not an evil institution like the Taliban is.

    I agree with your comments, but I would like to point out a minor error on your part if you would bear with me. Recently here in Canada, some members of our military, who have served in Afghanistan and who were also mentoring the Afghan government troops, have reported that the Afghan soldiers frequently engage in homosexual activities. They went so far as to offer to help relieve the stress of our Canadian soldiers. Apparently, in Afghanistan, it is a culturally acceptable way to relieve the stress of combat or imminent combat. So, in other Muslim cultures, homosexual activity may be punishable by death, but apparently not in Afghanistan. Kudos to those brave young Marines. If it was me, I would have cut their sexual organs off and stuffed them down their throats before I defecated on their corpses.

    No one has verified the desecrated bodies came from the ranks of the Taliban or not! Where is the tenant of “innocent until proven guilty” in this instance. A few years ago, there was another embarrassing moment when a prisoner’s copy of the Koran was supposedly the target of a soldier’s sudden discharge at Gitmo. There seems to be more people concerned with the original “Urinationgate” than this matter, which goes against the Geneva Convention re: body desecration. This is a war crime!

    I never said that they are ONLY killing Christians – However; they certainly don’t like Christians because they feel that non-Muslims have no right being in their land.

    A) We already know terrorists are assholes. Unfortunately, that shit happens so much it’s NOT that debate-worthy/newsworthy unless it’s something incredibly dramatic. As the Joker says, “It’s all a part of the plan. Nobody panics.”

    B) Journalism/infotainment is a business. The quintillionth atrocity committed by al-Qaeda and co. isn’t a ratings grabber. Not saying that’s okay, but it’s nevertheless a real reason.

    C) There’s nothing WE can do as American civilians to directly prevent terrorists from doing their thing. We CAN, however, technically prevent our own soldiers from going beyond the call of assholery. And if you don’t see a problem with what they did, we can at least have a constructive debate over it, in theory. An American public discourse on terrorists, on the other hand, will lead to nothing, since those fuckers out of our purview.

    D) Again, saying one thing is bad doesn’t mean something else is okay. That’s the same foolish logic that causes some people to exclaim, “Why are people working on ______, when we can be trying to cure cancer!” We can do both/many things.

    A) We already know terrorists are assholes. Unfortunately, that shit happens so much it’s NOT that debate-worthy/newsworthy unless it’s something incredibly dramatic. As the Joker says, “It’s all a part of the plan. Nobody panics.”

    B) Journalism/infotainment is a business. The quintillionth atrocity committed by al-Qaeda and co. isn’t a ratings grabber. Not saying that’s okay, but it’s nevertheless a real reason.

    C) There’s nothing WE can do as American civilians to directly prevent terrorists from doing their thing. We CAN, however, technically prevent our own soldiers from going beyond the call of assholery. And if you don’t see a problem with what they did, we can at least have a constructive debate over it, in theory. An American public discourse on terrorists, on the other hand, will lead to nothing, since those fuckers out of our purview.

    I’ve never fought fires, but if a firefighter beat the shit out of his wife, I wouldn’t think “Oh I have no idea how stressful his job is, so I won’t judge.” It’s an appeasing cowardice and the kind of attitude that’s allowed many atrocities to be committed in the past. “It was none of my business.”

    A pox on all organized religions that make up fairy tales for the gullible to believe.

    One has to wonder what the reaction of Americans would be if their streets were being patrolled by a military force belonging to a foreign country. No matter the reason there would be plenty of Americans wanting to fight against them.

    How is a broken clock right? It’s broken right? And even if it’s not broken, and it can still tell time, just the wrong time – when does it become right twice a day? Huh?

    Ah, I seeth thoust name with which thoust useth whilst posting, apologies.

    All you chris-tards trashing the koran ignore that your beloved bible says how great it is to smash the babies of your enemies against the rocks. Psalm 137 – look it up.

    Say the hour and minute hand of an analog clock are stopped in a fixed position.

    If they are stopped at say, 12:37, then the clock will be right at 12:37 in the afternoon and 12:37 right after midnight.
    Duh!! It’s not rocket scientist, genius.

    What happened to all’s fair in love and war?!?!  We’re getting our arses kicked because we believe that there are rules to engagement.  It’s a good thing our minute men and revolutionist didn’t play by England’s rules.  Why go to war if civilian casualties keep you up at night?  Freedom comes at a cost.  We should pull out completely from the world and let them solve their own issues.  Like Dafur, how many millions of people have been killed by their own country men?  Everyone has the right to live, if they cannot govern themselves they are doomed to be governed by someone else.

    When we all see pictures of them pissing on OUR DEAD SOLDIERS you who think this is just kids making bad judgements will say nothing,right?

    I don’t think Bill Maher (or most commenters here) are realizing what makes their indifference to what the marines did so abhorrent.

    If this had happened during WWII against German or Japanese troops this would most certainly have created a firestorm of controversy. But because the subjects of this incident were Muslim, whose lives Bill Maher and other Americans implicitly feel are less than valuable, this somehow isn’t “outrageous”. War is hell, but this kind of behavior is reprehensible, and should be so, regardless of who the combatants are or what their religion is.

    Most of the posts at the time were only wanting us to cry for christians. and I’m just not going to do that, come to think of it it’s the year 2012 and your trying to get the seperation of church and state to begone. and complaining every christmas about how were taking the christ out of christmas.  trying to get there to be worship time in public schools? lol then everyone would be free to worship they’re own personal god and Christians would freak out cause some dude who loves satan gonna pull out 16 candles and lite them while the muslim is taking out his yoga matt to bow to the east and your kid will be there with his hands held together thinking that the kids next to him are gonna go to hell for having the wrong religion. this has nothing to do with this subject.

    freedom comes at a cost, but we say were protecting our freedoms everytime we start a war and most of the time we are not. it’s an excuse to try and get what we want through force cause it gives our small american penis a hardon.

    just because they are enemies does not make it okay to pee on a body, no matter the creed or religion.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_CIXF2QUIO456WI3K3JDRFL3QKY Bret

    no i’d say ” hey that’s wrong but we obviously had it coming”. they would probably one up us and send a video of three guys takin a dump on our soilders.

    Wonder if those idiots, who were extra ignorant enough to film their actions and allow it’s leak, considered the possible future deaths of their fellow soldiers and Afghans who work with them as a result of the reactions this will create?
    Depraved and moronic.
    Not a good mix.

    And before you raw meat eaters jump all over me as a Taliban sympathizer think about why we all despise the Taliban:
    They’re vicious, savage, animals.
    So if we, who are sane and oppose what they represent, sink to their level, what are we fighting them for if we’re No Better?

    So you use some depravity that you came up with in your own mind as a justification for this because: “What I’m projecting from my own mind is what they would do in return.” ?!?
    Seriously?
    You seem to overlook the fact that “our soldiers” would be dead, possibly killed as a result of the anger this clip WILL cause.

    wow.
