Bill Maher, Highlighting Head-Stomper, Argues Violence Is A Right-Wing Problem

video
» 90 comments

After having toned it down somewhat during the past few weeks against Tea Partiers and even inviting some of them on the show, Bill Maher came out swinging against the American right on his panel last night, equating all political violence with those on the right and conceding that, while not every Republican is violent, “whenever they are that, they’re on your team.”

The conversation sprung, of course, from the head-stomping incident last week in Kentucky, where a MoveOn.org activist was attacked after Rand Paul supporters assumed she had violent intentions. Maher phrased the question simply for his right-of-center guests, Fox News’ Margaret Hoover and National Review Online‘s Reihan Salam: why is it always your team?

Both objected, Hoover coming with with Joy Behar as a counter-example (to which third guest Lawrence O’Donnell scoffed, “oh, you know the audience of The View, so violent”) and asked, incredulously, whether he was arguing that “the truth [was] that only Republicans are the violent ones, the only ones that beat people up? Are you kidding me?” “I’m not kidding you,” Maher replied.

Salam challenged him strongly on that point, after Hoover mostly got him to admit that he believes Republicans and those associated with them are the ones inciting violence, asking, “you’re saying that we’re all bigots, homophobes, and we stomp on people’s heads?” “No,” Maher responded, “I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying that when they are that, they’re on your team.”

“All right-wingers are violent” and “all political violence comes from the right” are two very different arguments on a hard logic plane, but in the world of politics it’s difficult to find much of a difference. As mentioned before, Maher had behaved somewhat in the presence of political adversaries, so one must wonder whether the conversation would have gone somewhat differently had the SEIU-related attack on Kenneth Gladney which, in some right-wing circles, is the flagship example of modern left-wing violence, come up.

    I guess Maher hasn’t followed the violence of unions over the years.

    He hasn’t followed a lot of things in his life, except of course numerous other men at “train” parties. That he’s followed a lot.

    Why didn’t they cite the liberal who bit off the finger of the conservative at the health care rally?

    Because its political propaganda meant to sway voters in to voting Democrat. This is how it works:

    -Liberals cause incite and cause violence
    -MSM ignores the story, claim they “didn’t know about it”.
    -People like Maher do this sorts of pieces where they play dumb and hope the audience is none the wiser.

    If you think “The Silence of the Lambs” was a horrible sight, wait until you see “The Screaming of the Libs”

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, the libs just could not stop their hate for one day- not for one day!

    “Most of those pouring into the Mall Saturday appeared to be younger than 35, and the signs they carried showed a decidedly left-wing bent: “I hope this isn’t a trap,” “I masturbate to Christine O’Donnell,”Communism was a red herring.”

    Most signs fit with the happy-go-lucky ethos of the rally, but others were crude. One sign had Hitler mustaches on pictures of Sarah Palin, Eric Cantor, Glenn Beck and John Boehner. The message said, “Afraid yet?” This is particularly insulting to Cantor, who is Jewish and in line to become House Majority Leader if Republicans win next week.

    http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=39262

    It was not the fear of conservative violence that caused Ann Coulter’s speech to be cancelled this week.
    It was a liberal who bit the finger off a man who disagreed with him on healthcare.
    http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-finger-bitten-rally,0,7135717.story

    It was Obama-loving Amy Bishop who took a gun to work and murdered co-workers.
    Joseph Stack flew his plane into the IRS building after writing an anti-conservative manifesto.
    It was liberals who destroyed AM radio towers outside of Seattle.
    It’s liberals who burn down Hummer dealerships.
    It was progressive SEIU union thugs who beat a black conservative man who spoke his mind.
    It’s doubtful that a conservative fired shots into a GOP campaign headquarters.
    In fact, Democrats have no monopoly on having their offices vandalized.
    Don’t forget it was Obama’s friend Bill Ayers who used terrorism as a tool for political change. SDS is still radical, with arrests in 2007 and the storming of the CATO Institute in July 2008.
    It was a liberal who was sentenced to two years for bringing bombs and riot shields to the Republican National Convention in 2008.
    It was a liberal who threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated her Austin-based group that planned to bomb the RNC.
    It was liberals who assaulted police in Berkeley.
    It was liberals who intimidated and threw rocks through the windows of researchers.
    The two Black Panthers who stood outside polls intimidating people with nightsticks were probably not right-wingers.
    Every time the G20 gets together, it’s not conservatives who destroy property and cause chaos.

    Remember, Maher is the lib buffoon who said on ABC’s This week:

    “So, you know, I could certainly criticize oil companies, and I could criticize America in general for not attacking this problem in the ’70s. I mean, Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years. We certainly could have.”

    Too bad that Bill didn’t know that Brazil is the 13th largest producer of oil in the world, pumping out 2.4 million barrels a day. A lot of Brazil’s oil comes from offshore drilling sites. Since the discovery of the offshore oil in 2008, Brazil has aggressively tried to extract that oil.In 2008, Brazil ranked No. 7 on the list of the world’s countries that consume the most oil, using about 2.5 million barrels per day.

    “Getting back to our factcheck, Maher was likely remembering Brazil’s aggresive efforts to promote ethanol, and certainly Brazil has outpaced the United States in getting flexible fuel vehicles on the road. But Maher said, “Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years.” Actually, Brazil still consumes a great deal of oil. It’s also embarking on more offshore drilling in some of the deepest waters for exploration. Brazil is hardly “off oil.” So we rate Maher’s statement False.”

    Gov. Bobby Jindal’s chief campaign fundraiser is recovering from injuries she suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French Quarter.

    The governor’s office said Monday that Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and fractured nose and jaw in the alleged incident, which happened after a fundraising event at Brennan’s Restaurant on behalf of the Louisiana Republican Party.

    Jindal was at the event, but was not present when the incident occurred.

    Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin says Bautsch had surgery over the weekend and is facing a recovery time of 2 to three months. He says New Orleans police are investigating the incident and the governor’s office would have no further comment.

    The attack happened shortly after a group of anarchists protesting the SRLC outside the Hilton Riverside had dispersed:

    No, there are provisions which have become effective by insurance companies in advance, such as for young adults living at home or in graduate programs, and the employer tax credit (for employers paying for their employees) are already in effect. A very, very nice tax break for businesses, especially small businesses. There are other provision sphasing in as well.

    Of course, when you read the police report, it is abundantly clear that the attack was street violence by members of a White gang or local boozed-up White hooligans who had no idea who Ms. Bautsch was other tnan a potential victim.

    West Virginia miner shot dead for working during a strike
    On the orders of the United Mine Workers (UMW), 16,000 miners went on strike in 1993. One subcontractor, Eddie York (who was not a UMW member), decided it was important to support his wife and three children and crossed picket lines to get to his job. He was shot in the head as he left the job site to go home. UMW President Richard Trumka (now Secretary-Treasurer at the AFL-CIO) told The Washington Times that “if you strike a match and put your finger in, common sense tells you you’re going to burn your finger.” UMW strike captain Jerry Dale Lowe was found guilty of weapons charges and conspiracy in York’s death, and York’s widow Wanda sued the union for her husband’s wrongful death. The UMW fought the lawsuit for four years, but settled with Wanda York only two days after federal prosecutors announced that they would share evidence from the criminal trial with York’s attorneys.

    “Health Care Vigil in Thousand Oaks: Provocation to violent response”

    “by Karoli on September 3, 2009

    “Yes, I was at the health care vigil tonight in Thousand Oaks. Yes, I saw what happened, though it was from across a very large street. I can’t tell you who said what to who, but I will tell you what the mood was, what I saw, who instigated things, and what I photographed. . . .

    “The man in the orange shirt hit the pro-reform guy (I’m going to call him PR Guy just to keep the players straight). Hard. (tweeted in real time) He punched him in the face, knocked him to the ground and into that thruway. As you can see from the photo, cars drive straight through that without stopping. The pro-reform guy could have been run over. He got up, tried to get back up on the curb, but Orange Shirt guy was in his face. Finger in his face, PR Guy standing, steps up to the curb, and there’s a scuffle. Orange shirt seemed to have PR Guy in a hold, but again, I was across the street, so won’t state that as absolute fact. Next thing I see is PR Guy’s hat being tossed into the street, both yelling at one another, then Orange shirt walks away, PR Guy picks up hat and crosses to our side.

    “When he gets to our side, he tells a story in one sentence: “He punched me hard, straight in the face, so I bit his finger off.”

    The biter wasn’t even with the pro-reform group, originally.

    True law-and-order types would call this self-defense. Only namby-pamby libs would call it anything else. So what do YOU call it?

    “MoveOn ‘Republicorp’ Activist Chokes Conservative”

    Why was the “victim” embracing the “attacker” instead of trying to break away? Why weren’t charges filed? IDs were no problem. Hmm . . . .

    “The attack happened shortly after a group of anarchists protesting the SRLC outside the Hilton Riverside had dispersed:”

    This incident occurred six months ago. Were any “anarchists” subsequently charged? No, wait, they “dispersed” before it happened.

    Where do you get this stuff? The original AP article didn’t include details “reported” here – not that I could find, at least.

    “You know, when you lie about the source of crime, you let the criminals go free.”

    Too true. You earned your crown with that one, King.

    http://twitter.com/#!/dandmb50 – I watch him occasionally but he always calls the Tea Party members the “teaBaggers” why is that.? Is is to be derogatory towards them, and name call? Yes, absolutely. I have never understood American Politics and the child like behavior of the two sides. It’s like a bunch of seven year olds in the playground. Even if one side makes a good point against the other side, they still don’t see it. But I don’t think that will ever end, yet this years campaign has been way off the rails. But it sure gets the ratings up, I’m sure, but it makes Americans look real stupid and childish, well in politics anyway. “who got the most people at a rally,” “who says the most outrages stuff,” and one side doesn’t lie, but then they don’t tell the whole truth, they leave out something that may not be flattering to their side. Grow up people. What did Paul say, “why don’t you act like a man” give me a break. And how do all these pundits know who will win? Don’t the citizens make that decision? If someone called me and asked who I was voting for, I would tell them the opposite candidate, it’s none of their business, it’s private. I guess I’m in the minority.

    One need only look at the tolerant, sensitive, and compassionate posts of the King to realize that there could never be violence coming from the left.

    So…why haven’t any Liberals answered that Bill Maher said ALL Americans are stupid…yet Liberals think Maher is great?

    You see what he did there…Maher called you Liberals stupid…but you still love him. Proving that Liberals are stupid.

    Of course, when you read the police report, it is abundantly clear that the attack was street violence by members of a White gang or local boozed-up White hooligans who had no idea who Ms. Bautsch was other tnan a potential victim. This is not political violence. I’ve watched you and your ilk squirm all week since Rand’s staffers and jack-booted thugs knocked a young, petite woman to the ground and stomp her head.

    Where and when did you read the police report?

    But when black gangs attack white people, the King thinks it’s a hoot. His outrage is very selective.

    Sarah Palin has TAPE of CBS reporters conspiring to smear Joe Miller’s campaign!!

    She says she’ll be releasing the tapes for national exposure – I’d assume sometime today.

    Fight the corrupt Democratic Media!!!

    It’s no surprise Maher wants to blame Rand Paul and the Tea Party for an incident Lauren Valle started when she physically tried to shove a sign into Rand Paul’s face. One man was arrested in the incident. I wondered if Maher blamed SEIU and Russ Carnahan for the stomping Kenneth Gladney got for handing out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. Six men were arrested in the incident. No one in the media blamed the SEIU for gangbanging and the hate crime.

    Its funny when elite Liberals hurl violent threats and insults from there bony little elite fingers hiding behind their secret blog names.You guys have no independent ideas, your all in step with your socialist agenda. You guys are pretty damn violent,and threatening. I will never forget when Obama called any American who disagrees with him his enemy.You have Union and left wing Anarchist stormtroopers like Bill Ayers( rich boy liberal elite uni bomber) and Oswald a (progressive communist) JFK’s assassin. And you offer only division.

    Laborers Union thug attacks union and non-union workers alike
    Laborers Union Local 91 in Buffalo, NY often relied on Andrew Shomers to harm and intimidate workers — union or not — who weren’t paying dues to the local. Shomers pleaded guilty in June 2005 to a series of crimes involving violence and sabotage. His offenses included vandalizing the offices of the local housing authority (because it didn’t use Local 91 labor to install a small section of sidewalk outside its offices), participating in a group assault on workers from another union, stalking and attacking non-union workers on an asbestos-removal project (by throwing a homemade firebomb through a window), and destroying work that had been done by workers from another union and ruining their tools. Shomers was just one of fifteen former Local 91 leaders indicted by authorities in 2003. Following his plea bargain, seven other former leaders pleaded guilty.

    I guess Maher hasn’t followed the violence of unions over the years.

    If you listened, he kept his commentary contemporary. And, union violence was employment related and not political. Sorry, there is no comparison today or even at the time of union violence. Likely, in some frontier areas as they were politically civilized brawls over candidates were expected. Violence after 1950 does not appear to have been a relevant factor in campaigning in America. Unfortunately, the spate of violence, calling for 2nd amendment remedies and revolution, and breaches of the 1 amendment among conservatives is a real issue.

  • Sue

    Bill Maher is a hatemonger of the first order. That is his business, but, when accuses others of violence just because his religious beliefs (secular) demand and requires it, is nuts. He is not only deaf, dumb but, blind not to see the purple t-shirted union thugs beating a helpless guy because he is wearing a conservative shirt; or the 300-400 union thugs trampling not only private property but the laws when they scared a teenager because the union bused them out; or the state of the Mall when the rally with the NAACP left such filth behind; or the PA thugs with their batons at the voting site….just to name a minuscule few incidents. Voter fraud by Acorn, financial manipulation by MoveOn, Huffpo and DailyKos in concert with George Soros and his radio station NPR, the CBS Alaskagate yesterday. The Meek situation in Florida, the sheriff that quit the Chicago race a couple of days ago so Rahm could win because, the sheriff decided to spend time with this “family”….sounds like “going t rehab” for any wrong committed.

    Gov. Bobby Jindal’s chief campaign fundraiser is recovering from injuries she suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French Quarter.

    The governor’s office said Monday that Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and fractured nose and jaw in the alleged incident, which happened after a fundraising event at Brennan’s Restaurant on behalf of the Louisiana Republican Party.

    Jindal was at the event, but was not present when the incident occurred.

    Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin says Bautsch had surgery over the weekend and is facing a recovery time of 2 to three months. He says New Orleans police are investigating the incident and the governor’s office would have no further comment.

    The attack happened shortly after a group of anarchists protesting the SRLC outside the Hilton Riverside had dispersed:

    Given the Tea Party candidates, it appears that conservatives and not liberals want anarchy and theocracy at the same time-unregulated greed.

  • Pablo

    How many right wing riots has America had in the last half century? How many left wing riots? IIRC, they’ve all been the latter.

  • CAconservative

    So, by Mahar’s reasoning, that Black-Man that got beat up by the Liberal (SEIU) Union thugs was actually a right-wing nut?

    The hand that feeds you: Public-sector unions dominate campaign finance
    The next time you see an advertisement for a pro-union Democrat, keep in mind where some of the money is coming from: the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. The 1.6 million-member AFSCME is spending a total of $87.5 million on the elections after tapping into a $16 million emergency account to help

    Suddenly realized that all college age kids are progressive, their parents are too, the rappers are progressive, Hollywood progressive…98% of all media are progressive, lots of judges, criminals and since the Democratic Party wants them to vote and are pandering to them, Latinos and African Americans are also Progressive. O.K….now, who is violent? See Unions=violence. See Hollywood=purveyors of violence. See Rappers=supporters of and some victims of. Hmmmm….since Maher is braindead there is no hope of his every being able to use reason.

    Kenneth Gladney

    So much BS.

    First off.. The Conservative ‘victim’ who got his finger bit, got it bit after punching the bite-ee in the face. This was an attack on a progressive by a conservative. He’s also a bald faced liar who is on video walking around uninjured after the supposed event, before he showed up at the rally the next day in a wheelchair begging for money for his healthcare (while fighting against universial healthcare of course). Watch the actual video.

    Second, the guy who flew the plain into the IRS building was anything but a liberal. His rant was all over the place, but I’m sure you can explain away the anti-government and anti-immigrant vitriol that is so pervasive in the liberal movement.

    Third, shot at Republican office ruled accidental by local police (attributed to hunters)

    lets see.. right wing violence in the past two years… off the top of my head.
    - Man shoots up liberal church.. wanted “to kill liberals”. Lamented he couldn’t kill everyone in Bernie Goldberg’s book.
    - Man shoots 2 cops on the way to assassinate people at the Tides Foundation and ACLU. Credits Glen Beck (the only person railing against Tides) for his inspiration.
    - Man murders 3 police officers with AK because he’s afraid Obama sent them to take his guns
    - Woman gets her head stomped
    - Man arrested with weapons after telling bank teller he was withdrawing money to assassinate obama
    - Shooting at holocaust museum
    - Mosque site torched (Tennennesee I believe).
    - Dem representative in AZ.. office shot at after immigration vote.. Note with swatztikas and toxic white power received this past week.
    - Right Wing Militia members arrested for planing to ambush police to start a revolution
    - Gas lines cut outside of the house of Reps brother’s house after health care vote.
    - The guy and his kid ( what do they call themselves.. ? free americans or something) who shot two cops at a stop because they didn’t have plates. Doh, can’t remember movement name.. they believe laws don’t apply to them (been moving into houses and claiming them recently).
    - I know there’s at least one more police murder from someone afraid of an imaginary gun confiscation but I don’t remember details.

    and of course, aside from the hate and threats at the town halls last summer, there were the scores of threats and vandalism against Democrats over the health care bill. Of course, we don’t think the semi-auto rifles at the political events (like the Presidential visit) weren’t implicit threats either.

    .. and you’ve got enviro-nuts pulling down radio towers, a fake victim con-man with a hurt finger….
    total parity here.

    Beck said on his radio show today, after the tea party wins the election there will be a group head stomping on Nov. 3rd.
