Bill Maher Panel Hits New Low With Talk Of Angry F**king Michele Bachmann And Rick Santorum

video
» 644 comments

Of course Bill Maher (and his Real Time panel) was going to have something to say on the controversial Bachmann Christian counseling clinic, but this much? Spurred on by a discussion of the clinic, Maher’s panel put together one of the raunchiest segments we’ve seen on his program…and for a show that’s on HBO and has done this, that’s saying something. And while it might have occasionally been uncomfortable to watch, it definitely wasn’t boring.

And it actually started somewhat seriously. Sex advice columnist Dan Savage had a strong message for the type of “therapy” the clinic appeared to employ: “You can’t pray away the gay, but you can torture a conflicted closet case to death.” And Maher ripped the clinic for receiving government money (through Medicaid) to practice “witchcraft” (what other Maher-related memories does that word bring back?).

…And then things started going off the rails. Comic Marc Maron shared a few thoughts on Marcus Bachmann, and the…appearance he gives off:

“I hope [he] takes all that rage that comes from repression and denial into the bedroom with her…and I hope he fucks her angrily, because that’s how I would.”

Even though it was his intention, Maron took things too far for us there: that line was just too reminiscent of this whole thing. And Savage seemed to recognize that not everyone might be thrilled with what Maron had just put out there, and so to fend off any potential allegations of sexism on the panel, he offered this:

“I sometimes think about fucking the shit out of Rick Santorum…I’m up for whipping up some Santorum in Santorum.”

There’s nothing we can really add to that, so we’ll just say that the panel also got some shots in at what they saw as pointless-at-best, destructive-at-worst pledges signed by some GOP presidential candidates, like the Bob Vander Plaats marriage vow and Grover Norquist’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge. Our minds, though, keep going back to that other stuff we just talked about. Watch it all below, via HBO. VERY NSFW…obviously.

    bahaahahahah. Lighten up people. It was about Marcus B. hiding the fact that he’s gay while running that silly clinic.

    Isn’t this to be expected of washed up comedians like Savage, Maron and Mahr.  They have gotten a second wind because they bash the right, like Colbert, Stewart and most entertainers.  I love how Maher bashed the media for saying that people like him are acting sexist when they go after Bachman and Palin, but whenever he gets the chance he blames the country’s disappointment in Obama as racist.

    Dan Savage, Bully
    By June Thomas
    Dan Savage begins each of his “Savage Love Cast” podcasts with a rip-roaring rant—a sword of invective aimed at homophobic school boards that won’t let lesbians attend their high-school prom, hypocritical politicians, and generally despicable people. It’s a rousing start to 45 minutes of sex advice, and it’s usually right on and empowering.

    This week, though, the podcast started with an attack on Marcus Bachmann’s masculinity.After a short preamble about the accuracy of gaydar (with a scientific citation, no less), Savage—whom I respect tremendously—played a tape of Michele’s* husband’s speaking voice. Bachmann has a tiny bit of a lisp—though it’s barely perceptible—and he slurs his words slightly. To Savage’s ears, it was a gay accent. Savage played the tape over and over, and reprised it several times throughout the podcast. He even did his own Bachmann impression, exaggerating the lisp and camping it up.

    In other words, the man who launched the “It Gets Better Project,” an effort to stop the bullying of gay teens, was acting like a big bully. As Savage always notes, the kind of smear-the-queer taunts that can cause so much pain to young people aren’t aimed only at kids who are gay, they’re often aimed at boys who don’t live up to some mythical standard of masculinity and girls who just aren’t girly enough. I can only imagine how listeners who happen to have the kind of lisping, effeminate speech and affect that Savage was ridiculing felt upon hearing the attack.

     22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
     32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

    I do get it, actually. Your claim is that it’s hypocritical for a Christian woman to be anti-gay yet married to someone that you believe is a closeted homosexual. But the only evidence you have that he may be gay is the way he walks and talks, right? Well my evidence that he’s not gay is that he has 5 biological children. So who’s the hypocrite?

But if a comedian on the right(whoever that may be) lets just say Dennis Miller said something this crude about Obama or Biden we would be all over him and you know it. Matter of fact Dennis probably wouldn’t have a job anywhere tomorrow. Now to defend Maher he didn’t actually say these comments but two of his guests did. And I detected that Bill wasn’t comfortable with it and rapidly changed the subject. Ive argued this with conservatives before when they are hypocritical, we cant just look the other way when people say or do things that are universally dumb.

    Oh come on. It’s great but it’s not flawless. The Cousins were a complete joke as a storyline. If you subscribe to Mad Men/The Wire/Sopranos/Breaking Bad as best 4 TV shows of last X amount of years (I’d throw Deadwood in, personally), Wire is clearly #1. I’d argue Mad Men at 2 but I’m a sucker for good dialogue.

    Breaking Bad is getting pumped up cuz it’s back this Sunday (thank God). But it’s not the best thing ever in the history of television. Too limited in scope and not enough main characters. Just sayin. We’ll see where it goes. But I don’t see it breaking free of those limitations.

    It’s still a top 5 show of all-time, and if you subscribe to the theory that every great television show is better than any great movie because of the depth/time allowed, it’s one of the 5 best pieces of art in motion picture history. But it could be better, technically speaking.

    Maybe I’m not aware of some elite liberal science that you have, but if gayness is truly in one’s DNA, then how can a gay man ejaculate in a woman enough times to produce 5 children? The only other alternative I see is that they went to an in vitro fertilization doctor 5 times to get her pregnant, but that would be an even more outlandishly hilarious assumption since they were foster parents of 23(?) other children. Regarding the business: Marcus Bachmann didn’t force anyone to go there. What is the liberal agenda suggesting, that the government intervene? That’s a false flag because of the 1st Amendment, “The Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof .” I think this is a non-issue meant to distract people from the fact that our dollar is dying slowly.

    You need to get a sense of humor.  Maron says it as a joke, which is funny because of the way it is shocking, and the way it reflects on him.  I dont think the people were laughing because “bachmann deserves to get raped”– they were laughing because Maron was willing to get that dark.  

    More importantly, hatefck does not equal rape.  It comes from a dark place, which is why maron going there elicits a big laugh, but it is not the same thing as rape.  He doesnt want to “make love” to bachmann, you idiot.

    I don’t get HBO. There is plenty on TV without having to pay extra. These comments were over the top. But, I used to watch Maher Years ago and that’s what he does, and yes he is funny. At the end of the day, Bachmann is desparately trying to appeal to the crazy social christian wind bags in Iowa with all these rediculous pledges. But it’s been sometime since a republican who has won Iowa has gone on to win the nomination let alone the general election. Everytime she’s been asked about the clinic, she totally deflects the question and says that she is focused on creating jobs. Well, I’ve heard absolutely nothing from her about how she plans to do that. Neither she, nor any of the other candidates have a clue 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jj-Wisniewski/100002654075475 Jj Wisniewski

    I remember watching Maher years ago, this is what he does and he often goes over the top. While Bachmann wants to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid as we know it, she took over $150,000 from the Feds from these programs. She took $350,000 in subsidies for her family owned farm, and millions in stimulous funds for her district. There is a lot of hypocrisy between what she preaches and what she actually does. When she was asked about this clinic, she totally ignored the question and said that she is focused on Jobs for American. I have yet to hear one specific proposal from her on how she plans on doing that. So far, she is all talk and no substance.

    No ZING!  The point is that you can’t use the FOX is the most popular argument therefore it’s right and then say Well, he’s selling out crowds, so the crowds must be idiots.  It’s a fallacy.  That’s my point.  Here, also, the Maher statement of sell out crowds equals right would be a fallacy, except that he didn’t say that, he said that Maher is doing pretty well for himself, and he is, so it’s not really a fallacy.  But either way, neither side can use the argument since I can use the Maher quote and the more idiots quote to show that not even the Right believes popular means right.

    Do you suppose Maher thinks that becoming more vile and outrageous will garner him more viewers? If that is true, he apparently doesn’t care much about the quality of his audience. I think I’d shoot for a more enlightened demographic. Then again, smarter people tune him out anyway, he might as well go for the dregs.

    It's not absolute nonsense.  That's what happened.  The Southern Democrats, the conservatives of the Democratic Party, moved to the Republican party (though a few did do right wing groups such as the Dixiecrats) and brought a big heaping helping of conservatism into the party.  There was a shift.  It happened after the Civil Rights movement (signed into law by a Southern Democrat which was the straw that broke the camel's back).  Now, democrats were certainly leaning left during the New Deal and Roosevelt, but really the thing that turned it over was the Civil Rights Movement.  The Republican party has embraced groups such as this, as they did with the Tea Party as you can see has changed their dynamic to even further right and much more Libertarian than the Republicans of Reagan's era.  This is history, it can be interpreted many different ways, but this happened.

    I'm not saying liberalism or conservatism is right, I think that they both have views that can be used, and you can't say one side is all wrong.  (I'm fiscal conservative, social liberal, for the most part, though I do favor some fiscal liberalism as well as some social conservatism.  In other words, I'm a human.

    “…refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and
    confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their
    lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding
    life.”

    (So
    God said, in effect,) “If that’s what you want, that’s what you get.” It
    wasn’t long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth,
    filthy inside and out…”

    “…Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human
    either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men.
    Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, …all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh,
    how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless…”(Romans 1 The Message)

    Bush came into office with a budget surplus and a ten year projection of paying off the national debt.  That was his justification for tax cuts and spending – the government was paying off the debt so it had too much money.  He bankrupted the country, was that rare president who had a net loss of jobs over his 8 years in office, the stock market was lower at the end of his term than the beginning, etc.  Obama stopped the free fall but has not been able to get us back to strong growth yet.  Now Republicans say we have to give up Medicare so that we can lower taxes on the rich.

    Dow went to 14,000 whila Bush was President.It started going down whe Dems took over House and Senate.It crashed because of financial meltdown caused by DEMOCRAT policies ruining the housing market (read Reckless Endangerment,written by a NYT economist).Last annual deficit under Bush was 150B,before the financial crisis. The current lousy economy is ALL OBAMA ALL THE TIME.Dems passed Obamacare and “financial reform”,which will continue destroying the country from the inside,while sabotaging us from all sides,including in the Middle East.Just saying

    focusing on one small statement in an hour long show – besides being just another day for the office of Maher -  is just another example of sites like this getting it wrong in order to be more inflammatory than it deserves to be.  Secondly, Maher said NONE of the things alleged by this excuse for reporting.  It was his GUESTS in both instances who uttered the “offending” phrases only so this site could take it out of context and try to sling more mud. grow up.

    Dont forget to add…………Pres.Bush and Congress started the push towards the ‘Outrageous Stimulus’ Plan that Pres.Obama finished!  Now, to step a little deeper, it was Pres.Bush and his Treasury that told the World and the whole of America that ‘without that Stimulus, the U.S. would go into a Depression’….now flash forward, we can all argue the possitives & negatives of that so-called-stimulus package…but be honest with yourself and remember back to the economic meltdown that we were facing at that time and understand that if Sen.McCain/Sarah Palin had become Pres/Vice….he would have approved of and passed that as well!!! And ask yourself, ‘what did the banks give back to Americans after being bailed out, other than to hold on to record profits & payouts to Executives?’

    Actually it’s the opposite, & interesting you have nothing to cite.
    Real research, done by Jonathan Haidt, shows what ya’ll really go on: – http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_mind.html & http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/rt/null?&exclusive=filemgr.download&file_id=7214828&rtcontentdisposition=filename%3DGraham_Jesse_paper.pdf

    For those that prefer Faux News to reading, Progressives rely on (avoidance of) Harm/Care, Fairness/Reciprocity – which is why we’re more averse than unfortunately blindly nationalist lemmings that will follow any loud leader off a cliff that can repeat short, easy to comprehend slogans, & all ya’ll care about is Loyalty to the In-Group, (obedience to) Authority, & Purity/Sanctity (not getting a life, & rather consuming yourselves with what non-heteros do with their time/believing that the most advanced being there is wants you to worship him, causing you to overvalue masculinity, reducing our world to a violent, animalistic mess. Yawn.)

    Read it & weep. Oh right you just listen to Faux News because you can’t. Sucks for those of us who get it, because it’s everyone’s money & personal power they’re out to steal. Hope you figure it out for my unborn children’s sake, because if you don’t a lot of working people are going to be paid even less for their work than they already are.

Not just to say it out of the blue like advocating rape but saying how the methods of Bachman and her husband with this form of reparative therapy is hurting others thus idea if you are going to hurt someone then hurt yourself or each other not others! The other  guys said his part because of the recent claim by I believe Ann Coulter and the like (she was on the show recently) Claiming Bill is sexist! Typical of the republicans to take things out of context and spin things to serve their own purpose. Just like the Shirley Sherrod case!

    Dennis Miller and Bill Maher seem to be about equal in intelligence.  Neither has a very deep understanding of economics or strategic thinking.  Both base their comedy on making fun of hypocrisy that they see in people with different political views.  Miller started off making fun of the wealthy and powerful for being greedy and selfish.  That made him rich (and greedy and selfish) so he went to the right.  Maher started off very libertarian and made fun of government interference in daily life.  As he became successful he became more interested in social causes and went to the left.

    I wouldn’t look to either to get a better understanding of an issue.  Both simply make clever sounding remarks that reflect conventional thinking of their side.

I’m not saying he’s NOT at fault, ’cause I’m pissed about a lot of things he did, but he’s got some Bush people still telling him what to do…  Obama, to me, is the same as Bush, only darker, and doesn’t hire cronies.  He’s still making bad decisions.  Trust me, if I was in office and heard the leader in Afghanistan call us “occupiers” I’d friggin’ be burning rubber getting out of that place, same for Iraq.  He complained about ‘two wars’ when he was running and still hasn’t ended them…so he’s at fault, too.  But the Rethuglicans have just gone overboard and I’m about ready to leave the party, but if I do, then they win….

    The problem with your argument is that those on the right who use hateful, disgusting language do it in the context of “news”, whether it’s TV or radio - not comedy.  So which is more dangerous – jokes or hateful language made to sound like it’s normal and socially acceptable.   Let’s pretend you never told a dirty joke so you can carry on with your little hissy fit.

    Alright look.  Fellow lefties, you are being disingenious if you claim there was no hateful language on the left towards Bush.  But learn the lesson I have, don’t do it anymore.  Don’t reciprocate it – if you pay attention that is what Obama’s change has been about all along.  He is trying to *change* the fundamental tone of our political conversation to one of American ADULTS working together instead of ideologically stubborn children who expect the other half of America to bow to their ideology.  THIS is the CHANGE that will make a difference in this country.  Saying he has no backbone is saying that you want him to be an ideologically stubborn child instead of trying to work with all sides of the spectrum.  We continue that path, we will NEVER get anything accomplished in this country.   Yes, our hate during Bush was a direct result of him saying he was going to “spend his capital” and ignore our half of the country.  The righties just think that is what Obama has been doing because they are listening to those who want them to believe that, those who scream socialism and claim he is doing something he is not.  If you hear it enough times it must be true.  What he certainly hasn’t been doing is taking a hardline left approach to matters, he has worked toward compromise on EVERY SINGLE POLICY!  The right is fighting compromise, not socialism as they claim.  They want it their way or no way.  THIS is what is hurting our country.

    >> As I know the bible (You forgot to defend yourself when I told you had something wrong

    I
    did respond. I never said it was from the Bible. You tried to put those
    words in my mouth. Nice straw man. This too is typical of the left.

    You
    were the one that actually tried..and failed…to cite a source for the
    quote. It was not Confuscious. This is what I mean by epistemic
    closure. You CHOOSE to remain ignorant<>Even today, it seems that Jesus shared more liberal than conservative
    thoughts, does that mean Jesus was filled with hate and anger?

    Quite the opposite. Libs want to throw rotten fish at the poor. Conservatives want to teach them to fish for fresh ones.”

    Okay, so you said that phrase here, to rebut my Jesus statement (I still stand behind that he was more liberal than conservative), so you do that by putting in a phrase that isn’t related to Jesus whatsoever?  So then my mistake is that you were doing a non-sequiter?  I should of called you out on that since that phrase had nothing to do with Jesus.  Of course, where do we get the most information about Jesus from…the Bible.  Probably not Chinese Proverbs.  Now, it has been attributed to Confuscious but it may just be a Chinese Proverb that is anonymous.  He has had plenty of those attributed to him.  I will concede that I am wrong in that it is unsure, but I was much closer than you were.  Perhaps you could explain to me why you would put that statement there to attribute conservatism if it isn’t related to Jesus.  To confuse me?  That’s not a very good argument technique.  And it’s easy to assume that you made an error with attributing it to Jesus, because I have heard conservative talking points make the very mistake.  Maybe you think Jesus is Chinese, that could be it too.

    Also, I’ve laid out what I believe and yet you still call me the left.  I’m more middle of the road.  It’s another example of you using ideological filters for what is called TRUTH.  I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault to do that, it just comes down to we want our beliefs and our truths to be equal, but we favor our beliefs over truth so we filter it that way.  I’ve recently heard an interview that brought up that topic and now I completely see it from both sides, this idea of what you consider true actually just being a reconciliation for your beliefs.

    And again, the main thesis of my argument is that both sides have hate and anger and you can’t pin it on one side.  You say that the left have an angry and hateful mindset, yet your posts have contained more hate and anger than mine.  Of course, I’m not the left, yet you are firmly the right.  But then that’s a huge disconnect.

    Oh, and since I’m sure others had read that article about the analysis where the left are hateful and the right are compassionate, could you tell me where I can get a hold of that, since that was what I essentially wanted.  Seems like Cincy doesn’t want to give it to me.

    I don’t choose to remain ignorant, I just choose not to let ideological bias cloud my thinking.

    I never said that Reagan would hate the Tea Party.  I said the tea party shifted the party more to the right and more libertarian.  You completely put words in my mouth.  And I also didn't bad mouth the Tea Party, I was just using it to focus on the concept of ideological shifts.  I'm sorry if you saw it was an attack.  I didn't even give a criticism.  The current party is further right than the Republicans of his era.  I did not, I repeat, did not say that the current party is further right than Reagan.  However, more things got done that benefited the country when he started compromising with the other side.  We didn't have a full right or full left tilt.  It was middle of the road and that truly helped the country.  I'm against partisan politics in general and when it gets in the way of compromise, I think it's wrong.

    But sell smug condescension somewhere else…seems like a smug condescending thing to say.  More so that the phrase: "The Republican party has embraced groups such as this, as they did with
    the Tea Party as you can see has changed their dynamic to even further
    right and much more Libertarian than the Republicans of Reagan's era. " unless you actually assume being further right is a bad thing.

    Actually Bush signed two hoiusing bills One proimoting low income housing at no down payment, and then one rescuing Fannie and Freddie.
    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/31/business/31housing.html

    The law authorizes the Treasury to rescue the mortgage finance giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, should they verge on collapse, potentially by spending tens of billions in federal monies. Together, the companies own or guarantee nearly half of the nation’s $12 trillion in mortgages.

      That was July 2008 signed by Dubya.

    So, coincidently , he signed a bill allowing the Fed to bail them out just in case what was going to happen in a few months ever happened. Wasn’t that lucky?

    here’s the Heritage foundation calling Bush’s American Dream Downpayment act of 2003 irresponsible.
    http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2003/12/american-dream-downpayment-act-fiscally-irresponsible-and-redundant-to-existing-homeownership-programs

    Moreover, if HUD’s sordid history is any guide, this program could end up costing much more than the $200 million per year in outlays authorized by the bill.  The last time HUD attempted an expansive no-downpayment/modest-income homeownership program was in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the infamous Section 235 program. 
     
    Among the many HUD disasters that characterize that department, the Section 235 program was one of the grandest.  Exceptionally high default rates; property abandonment and costly foreclosures led to budget outlays well in excess of whatever the amount of subsidies provided buyers. 

    Funny huh. He signs the bill to allow people to get no down payment mortages , and then a few years later signs the bill to bail out the mortage comapnies.

    So,…you were saying?

    I’m sorry, but I don’t see anything wrong with pointing out the unending lies, hate, hypocrisy,  demagoguery, sanctimony and outright quackery of these theological nutbags.  By the way, this is a comedy talk show…you know, kinda like The Daily Show except it is hosted by Bill Maher and it’s weekly?  Spare me the phony outrage after the wing-nut teabaggers and their Republican cronies say liberals “hate god”, are trying to destroy the country, force homosexuality on children and every other sick thing their poisoned minds can think of to divide the middle class of America in favor of the super rich and multinational corporate profits.  Also spare me the “liberals were mean to Bush” – he launched two unfunded wars, took the US from a surplus to the largest debt in American history, crashed the economy…the list goes on.  And the scumbag wing-nuts call Obama the anti-Christ, say he’s not American, a Nazi/Socialist/Communist.  The right-wing in this country has no sense of ethics, humanity or true patriotism.

     He extended those tax cuts keith because the republicans were holding him over the barrel with unemployment insurance. He wanted to extend unemployment for another year and the republicans said ok we will give that to you if you agree to extending the tax cuts for two more. He compromised which is something the republicans at this point don’t seem capable of.

    Hey, I’m a flaming liberal, and Maher is beyond the pale for me, too. In fact, I’m pretty sure he’s more interested in outraging my side of the aisle than he is conservatives — since he knows he doesn’t even share a planet with them, while his views and mine sometimes overlap.

    So I have no interest in defending his odious behavior.

    That having been said, though, he is sometimes right on the facts. His takedowns of Sarah Palin, slimy as they are, do get to the core of what Palin is — a dyed-in-the-wool grifter.

    Well, not exactly.

    The Daily Show (and Colbert) are pure theatre (not counting TDS’s interview segment). Maher’s show is putatively an unscripted round table discussion flanked by Maher’s monologs. Its irony quotient is much lower and hence it is vulnerable to accusations of vulgarity in a way that TDS and Colbert are not.

    And that’s not even mentioning that Maher is a professional vulgarian, while Stewart and Colbert are much more skilled actor-comedians.

    They attract scorn and ridicule. I think their days are numbered….or should be.

    All this abuse on poor Maddow(who Bill Maher invites on his show from time to time) in know as “smart” and “funny” on the left, now it’s true that she does have a doctorate and a very good education, however it appears thought in the political arena isn’t exactly her strong suit. How many times has Bill Maher made fun of her? I will say, that she did retract her statement about the constitution not having a pre-amble(kudos!). 
    Should I keep going after Rachel Maddow(this could get tedious and trite very quickly), or should I go after other idiot women from the left like Nancy Pelosi(too easy), Naomi Klein, I-married-a-gay-closet-republican-for -the-money Ariana Huffington(That certainly sounds easy), Jenanne Garafolo, or Mika Brezezinski(I can’t resist this one, I like Niall a lot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9slquoIuPC8

    Ever see any of those women ever get made fun of by Bill Maher? Nope(he might have had a coulpe o barbs about Pelosi, but that was because she wasn’t crazy enough). 
    I would have initially agreed with you if you had simply stated that spouses are off limit, I find that an honorable code to follow. I actually like Michelle, and I support her anti-obesity campaign.

    Who said anything about raping anyone? They talked about her own husband angrily having sex with her (and Michele Bachmann has said women are supposed to submit to their husbands, therefore, I doubt she would agree with a woman accusing her own husband of rape), and Marc Maron said he’d thought about having angry sex with her, then Dan Savage said he’d thought about angry sex with Rick Santorum. So where’s the talk of rape? Angry sex is not necessarily rape.

    What?  That really doesn’t make sense and is not at all how counseling and mental health works. If an anorexic comes in and wants help losing weight , is that what the counselor should do? Of course not. The counselor needs to explore with the often conflicted, confused and afraid client to help them determine what the real problem is and help them find the best path. Maybe a young homosexual is dealing with the fear of rejection and persecution that accompanies coming out.
    Furthermore, you’re incorrect to say clients request it. The larger point is that reparative therapy is discredited by mental health organizations and considered dangerous.  It is based on the Christian lie that being homosexual is some kind of defect that needs to be cured.

    I just meant that you we don’t know who took subsidies based on the need to be competitive. On your larger point , I agree. Subsidies , like many well intentioned programs, were corrupted , and IMO wound up helping the large corporate owned farms and drove a lot of family farms out of business. Right on the lobbyists as well. We need drastic changes in lobbying guidelines and the money influence in DC.
    On my larger point, I think those who rail the most against federal interference and federal spending and entitlements have some ethical obligation to avoid taking them as a way of leading by example. The freshman GOP voted in in 2010 are not living up to their campaign rhetoric, and reaching out for federal money , as long as it benefits their constituents, and their holding office. That’s common in DC, but how do we control spending if reps aren’t willing to stand by their words and tell their district, that they turned down federal money on principle?

    That is a down right lie.  Conservatives are fearful while liberals care about their follow man.  You can even see it.  My god open your eyes.  It is the conservatives in congress and across this country that are trying to take away voters rights away.  You fear another 4 yrs of Obama.  You’ll cheat and steel the election.   Look at the  programs that the republicans want to take away from the people who by the way pay into those programs.  I can’t believe you would say conservatives have compassion.  You have no idea what that is.  You have your mega churchs millionaire preachers who are taking people for a ride.  You conservatives are forcing your religious lawas on everyone.  Even the people who believe in god don’t think the republican party cares about the average american.  People shut your mouth you have no idea what you are talking about.  Why is it your party always call liberals “bleeding heart liberals”.  Thats because we care for the working poor in this country.  Unlike the Bachmans who are sucking off the welfare tit of  the government they complain about.  That is the problem with republicans.  How many are there in congress sucking off the tit of government.  All of them are.  Every perk they get you and I pay for the gift.  Believe me they use it pretty well.  I don’t like either party taken advantage of all of us.  But like conservatives you want yours and you want ours also.  Your selffish and arrogant.

    There is corruption in both parties that is really hurting middle class and poor Americans. We keep fighting the wrong battle , thinking that changing parties will stop the corruption. It won’t. American’s need to come together and agree on and insist on some changes to weed out the corruption, and keep throwing out politicians until we get them. as in; Mr Representative; we insist you fight for serious changes to curb the influence of lobbyists, and if you don’t you’re out come the next primary. Force them to discuss the issues honestly and stop defending the BS pouring out of both parties just because they pretend they’re on your side.
    Liberals have to police the liberals and conservatives have to police the conservatives and check the facts and insist they stop lying to cover for their while things get worse for average citizens. I can respect a person or politician who has an honest disagreement with me over the best solution based on facts. When they constantly distort and justify it as just politics, I want to smack em up side the head. We need to kick them all in the butt and insist they do the job they are being paid to do.

    I wouldn’t take offense to any conservative making any joke they want, about whomever they want… it’s called “free speech” and it works both ways. Now if you want to have a hissy and use mock-outrage to play the victim, fine, that’s your right. But you’re missing the -point- of what’s being said, that these two, like many others, are twisted greedy manipulating scum. Anything this panel -said- is nothing compared to what the Bachmann’s actually -do-, with government dollars, and that’s a fact.

    I somewhat agree. Who isn’t afraid of these psychotic, right-winged wackos coming into power? His feelings of fear are perfectly natural.

    However, Bachmann’s fear of homosexuals (aside from her own husband, obviously) is absolutely uncalled for. Her fear of feminists. Her fear of choice. Her fear of liberty. Her fear of everyone who doesn’t agree with her chemically-imbalanced ramblings. All things that are FAR more destructive to our nation than anything Bill Maher says on his politically-themed ENTERTAINMENT SHOW. Deal with it.

    Now me, on the other hand, I watch this show every week. I know others who watch it every week. I’ve started class discussions about things that have been said on the show with the majority of the class having seen it. So people DO watch the show. That’s why he’s been on the air for nearly 20 years, dipshit. AND I watch Rachel Maddow!! So your theory, once again, is shot. On every single message board I see you comment on, it’s always “No one watches this.” “No one cares what you think.” “No one derp de derp de derp.” Just because your narrow little world doesn’t include liberal-biased media, doesn’t mean NO ONE watches these things.

I would really appreciate some real evidence of what you call “chemically imbalanced” why would you say something like that? What are you talking about? Additionally the accusation of homosexuality is baseless unless you speak from experience and are having a sexual relationship with the congresswoman’s husband. Maher is a small, sorry, nasty, little individual,. Sadly your post speaks volumes about you as a small, sorry, little individual as well, who takes vile filth as “entertainment”.  Perhaps the atrocities they spew rank high on your priority list since that’s what you find entertaining.

    Bachmann has claimed she knows more about climate change than an MIT scientist.

    Bachmann claims to have raised 23 foster children, which is a blatant lie.

    Bachmann ran out of a ladies bathroom screaming that she had been held against her will when two women (one of them an ex-nun) approached her and asked to calmly discuss her views at a town hall event.

    Bachmann claimed The Lion King was gay propaganda.

    Bachmann introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. from adopting the Yen as its currency.

    Bachmann claimed scientists are supporters of intelligent design.

    Bachmann compared visiting Iraq to visiting the Mall of America.

    Bachmann claimed Terry Shiavo was “healthy” during that entire debacle.

    Bachmann claimed Glenn Beck could solve the debt crisis.

  • Johnbryansfontaine

    I was listening. And the only way that Maron could have sex with Michele Bachmann is if he raped her. Same case as with Savage and Santorum, as the latter is straight. BTW, I am a Liberal Democrat, as well as a staunch supporter of Obama. But all this type of idiotic talk of rape – and I will use that word – is to make life easier for Ann Coulter, and her ilk. She is very likely writing a look-how-Libs-support-rape column right now.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TLCCF7F5ZFKGWY6ZLGT7RIBHBA Joseph

    What a slanted article! The views of Michelle Bachmann are extreme and it was her opposition to all things gay that have hit a new low. She is the Anita Bryant of our time and her views will send her to the dustbin of crackpot Presidential candidates. It she were concerned about government welfare, her family would return the Medicaid and farm subsidy money.

    I view her not as a serious candidate, but someone who is envious of the millions that Sarah Palin is making on Fox News and speaking engagements to right-wing loonies. Redistricting in Minnesota could put her seat in peril, because the Republican establishment sees her as not serious. She cannot point to any accomplishments or legislation as a member of Congress. I expect her to run and then get a big, fat salary as a commentator on Fox News.

    It seems that is OK for the right wing to “swiftboat” Jon Kerry, but a low blow when their people are questioned about facts. May Michelle get an education about how corporations are shrinking the middle class and screwing America.

  • M R

    It is NOT RAPE. Rape is forced intercourse. Hate-fucking is something entirely different. As not only someone who has gone through something as traumatic as rape, but a stone-cold feminist, I do not agree with your point of view, and here is why:

    First of all, you’re a man. You don’t get it, you never will, and for you to voice your opinion either way, while absolutely your right to free speech, is fucking laughable. I’m not blind to the fact that men are raped from time to time, but rape is something that generally affects women. Just like abortion. You shouldn’t get to have a say either way. You don’t have the equipment and there is absolutely no way you can relate to that situation. Period. You can look at rape and know it’s wrong, but that’s where it should end. And I say that because it would be hypocritical of me to say that your opinion is only valid if it’s the same as mine.

    Secondly, if anyone is crying sexism on this, or idiots like you who don’t know the distinction between rape and fantasies of rough sex with someone who is your exact opposite, it’s because they’re only looking at the surface of the matter. Why is this against women’s rights, John? Could it be that you and the rest of our society has been conditioned to think women aren’t supposed to enjoy rough sex? That’s right. We’re gentle, fragile creatures and we want to make love, not fuck, so anyone saying something so vulgar about sex with a woman is obviously going to be construed by people without logic as wanting to rape them. Taking it a step further, the women being discussed are conservative, so they buy into those views as much as anybody. What if the roles were reversed? Talking about Michelle Obama being put in that situation is not role reversal. If a woman publicly said she wanted to angrily fuck a politician, it would not be perceived as rape. It would be perceived as sexy, maybe slutty, but plenty of men would be turned on by that thought. Women’s Rights means EQUALITY. Not superiority. The topic may be taboo, but there is nothing about it that implies rape.

    Your point sucks.

  • deanks

    I commend you for being both a Christian and a liberal. For at the heart of being a follower of Christ there should be great liberty and liberality. They cannot technically be separated since they come from the same root. Or at the very least their origins and “DNA” are related.

    That being the case, historically what made American liberty possible was exactly the opposite of what you said your government cannot do. (And I speak of Scriptures based on Jewish/Christian origin and ethic – not religion per se. Religion without the SPIRIT of God always leads to more entrapment. Atheism after all is a religion based on 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in 2005 and the atheist-community-org [put in as URL] agrees.)

    America would not even be in existence today if her founders did not start out with Scriptural concepts. By-the-way, early America found out how to do that wrong so that our founders of the 18th century could get it right. –No more witch trials or “scarlet letters.”

    Yet, knowing man could get it wrong they also knew man could get it right with assistance not so much from the state but with greater assistance from the Supreme. With that in mind Scriptural principles, concepts and even ordinances were woven into our moral fabric and documents.

    That being said, morals are defined not by humanity but by a “higher power.” I call that power God who I can know closely through faith in His Son Jesus Christ. He sets the tone for my morals. Jewish/Christian, teaching was always the moral code for America. Therefore, the God of Jews and Christians sets the moral standard. It is not static or relative. It true because i comes from the God of truth who cannot lie.

    By my definition, there is really no such thing as the “Christian Right.” I’d like to say the media came up with that term. Unfortunately, it may very well have originated from people I respect and love. Regardless, you are either a Christian who is living by Scriptural standards or a Christian / non-believer who is not living by Scriptural standards. (Pity the Christian who has found freedom in Christ and chooses to walk in bondage again.)

    Your quote from Christ is so challenging. I struggle with that daily. Surrender all and follow, Do for the least… What kind of “army” would the Lord have if we all really lived like that. Francis Chan’s Book “Crazy Love” speaks almost entirely to those very thoughts you present.

    Of course you are generally correct concerning judging we must be extremely careful for in judging anyone we bring judgment upon ourselves. Jesus was pretty cool the way he could hang with the “sinners.” The other neat thing is he never sinned with them and they (most of the time) repented of their sin. Another great book: The Year of Living like Jesus: My Journey of Discovering What Jesus Would Really Do by Edward Dobson.

    And thanks for the other challenge. I should read my New (and Old) Testament more closely. God knows, I have a lot to learn. -DeanKS

  • Christopher Santos

    Could it because Michelle Obama DOES get a good boning every night from her handsome ebony prince?  Michelle B. is one uptight fundie who needs a good boning, so she that could lighten up.  And have you even considered the fact that conservatives don’t curse (well, maybe when they are whipping their slaves on the plantations or yelling at mammie) on TV or believe in cursing, because it is ungodly and unchristian, that maybe you wouldn’t see a conservative use this tone?  Oh wait, I forgot about the conservatives that curse when they are beating their submissive wives or beating their kids or possibly being cursed at when dominatrixes they hire with taxpayer money are doing it to them in seedy motel rooms? Conservatives pretend at times to be oh so proper and “Christian” like, yet you find them molesting young girls, boning male hookers (or massage therapists) and snorting Ectasy or tapping toes with men in bathroom stalls.  Whatever dude.  Maybe it is YOU who needs some good sex tonight.  Loosen up.

    They don’t have to follow the same rules as everyone else. It was OK for Clinton to commit perjury, obstruction of justice and sexual harassment because he is one of their guys. Obama gets the same dispensation when he lies, when he says their will be negotiations on CSPAN, when their will be no lobbyists in his administrations, when he says that we will be able to keep our health insurance and I could go on and on. It’s OK because the ends justify the means.

    That their motives are pure and that is why its OK for them to ignore/redefine the constitution. They won’t abuse their power like every other government that functions without limitations. It’s only the other, bad guys who murder millions and steal from the people. We can trust progressives.

    Demonrat beliefs? Did someone say hateful???? Yep, that’s it, hateful.
    Bush got us into a couple of wars and put them on the nation’s credit card, INSTEAD OF IN THE BUDGET where they belonged. But he knew folks would resist paying for these wars, so he hid the costs. When the honest, dignified, and responsible Mr. Obama was elected, he decided that decency and honesty required putting those credit card bills on the budget so the people would know where they stood financially. He also was left with picking up the tab for TSA and its related money-eating agencies and projects, the bills for repairing NO after Brownie did such a flippin’ good job, and Lord only knows what else that  he inherited from the years after a Democrat, Clinton, left us a surplus and Bush and that lot spent it all and added to it. l find it difficult to abuse my brain with remembering all the scummy things the R’s did to make life tough for the Dem prez they knew they’d have after Bush’s screwups.But one thing Repubs and TPers don’t face up to is facts. Facts mean nothing to them, as their brains are wired to run  on emotions, and the great rightwing slime machine has been runnning full tilt to woe and wine and dine those emotions since the American people voted to have a Democratic president. Too bad they believed that electioneering garbage about needing conservos to ‘balance’ things out. They voted for too many rightwing  Congress people who have no idea of what balance is. They want it all….want to run it all….want to hide or ignore all the facts that interfere with playing to your emotional uber nationalism, piety, and greed. You are being played, and are too dumb to notice or care. 

    Gee, it feels good to get that out. Now I can take the remnants of my hate and anger and paint little bitty mustaches on the faces of all those republicans who get their faces plastered all over their ghost-written books that end up either on the shelves of their disciples or in the remainder bins. Then I’ll feel a lot better. Next time some right-winger gets her knickers in a twist because i don’t agree that there’s no global warming or that oil is good for sea life  or that mountain glaciers are not melting faster now than they were in the last century, I won’t even get ruffled, because i’ll feel so good about venting here. Thanks, everybody.

    Liberals have absolutely no wisdom, (Solomon asked for wisdom in order to rule the people) and as for compassion, looks like they  can’t even spell the word, let alone know the definition. It doesn’t take long to know when you are talking to a liberal, they simply can’t carry on a political discussion without injecting their bashing, childish remarks always trying to make a conservative look bad.  And if they had REAL COMPASSION, they couldn’t murder millions of innocent babies and work so hard at saving all the animals with no spirits or souls. Liberals are to be pitied for their stupidity.

  • Ltrautf11

    Typical sicko, liberal comments.  How sad you all are.  Truly to be pitied.

    The civil rights movement was pushed by the Republicans and fought against by the Dems. The GOP was created as an opposition to slavery. Even the Civil Rights Act was passed by the GOP even though it was voted against by a majority of Dems

    From WIkipedia:

    On June 19, the substitute (compromise) bill passed the Senate by a vote of 71–29, and quickly passed through the House-Senateconference committee, which adopted the Senate version of the bill. The conference bill was passed by both houses of Congress, and was signed into law by President Johnson on July 2, 1964.[11]
    [edit]Vote totals
    Totals are in “Yea-Nay” format:
    The original House version: 290-130   (69%–31%).Cloture in the Senate: 71-29   (71%–29%).The Senate version: 73-27   (73%–27%).The Senate version, as voted on by the House: 289-126   (70%–30%).
    [edit]By party
    The original House version:[12]
    Democratic Party: 152-96   (61%-39%)Republican Party: 138-34   (80%-20%)
    Cloture in the Senate:[13]
    Democratic Party: 44-23   (66%–34%)Republican Party: 27-6   (82%–18%)
    The Senate version:[12]
    Democratic Party: 46-21   (69%–31%)Republican Party: 27-6   (82%–18%)
    The Senate version, voted on by the House:[12]
    Democratic Party: 153-91   (63%–37%)Republican Party: 136-35   (80%–20%)
    [edit]By party and region
    Note: ”Southern”, as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. “Northern” refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
    The original House version:
    Southern Democrats: 7–87   (7%–93%)Southern Republicans: 0–10   (0%–100%)
    Northern Democrats: 145-9   (94%–6%)Northern Republicans: 138-24   (85%–15%)
    The Senate version:
    Southern Democrats: 1–20   (5%–95%)Southern Republicans: 0–1   (0%–100%)Northern Democrats: 45-1   (98%–2%)Northern Republicans: 27-5   (84%–16%)

    So your wrong about the majority of Democrats voting against the Civil Rights Act. Of course the Southern Democrats were decidely against it but then not even one Southern Republican voted for it either.

  • MATTLINC

    Cincy Wrote <<<>>ummm wrong. The Democrats in the South voted against it but the Democrats over all for voted for it, even in greater percentages than the Republicans. You’re absolutely flat out wrong and you really should learn your history, or at least critical roll calls before you spew out incorrect statements that can be easily researched in minutes.

  • Googolplex

    Of course, it’s not hard finding a funny liberal.

    They all make me laugh.

  • Googolplex

    “Michelle Obama is a dignified lady, intelligent, caring, warm and human.”

    You mean like when she failed the Illinois Bar Exam, after graduating from Harvard Law School?

    Must be the standard all liberals look up to.

  • Goooglplex

    Ahem, I think you mistake the word “Conservative” for liberal.

  • Googolplex

    Hmm… there seems to be a confusion of terms here.

    Michelle Bachmann:
    “It’s not funny, it’s sad. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is
    gay. It’s anything but gay… If you’re
    involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage. Personal
    bondage, personal despair, and personal enslavement. And that’s why this
    is so dangerous.”
    Aren’t you clever?

  • moberg

    Its all OK.  Its no big deal. We talk like that about people we don’t like.  We are progressive.  We don’t talk that way about people on the bus or make them use a different restroom anymore now we are foul about those people we disagree with. 

    We haven’t really changed at all in the last 50 years.  We have just aimed our anger at a group of people that is acceptable today.  Same anger, same misunderstanding,  Some people hate what they don’t understand.

    Bill Maher is a pathetic, insecure (must have a short man’s complex)  moron who gets off on spewing hate at people he disagrees with politically. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_LUTQQHY43QROS4HWHGXK4CHKOI gary

    Bill Maher is a diminutive little man with a complex with an audience shrinking faster than he is.  Calling people who disagree with him politically  filthy names must make him feel like a big man.  What a loser!! 

  • kurt metzger

    Wow what a typical humorless liberal ass you are.  What a dry bore you must be in person. I swear the commies are even worse than the christians. You probably love a nice aziz ansari tweet.  Laughter is medicine you hack.  If you didn’t like the joke it’s because it wasn’t your medicine.

    Some of us still joke like men.  You know, about ethnicity and rape and sexual orientation and all the forbidden serious things that pc hall monitors want to enforce a solemn attitude at all times about.  I would have joked that I hope marcus bachmann gets caught with a cellar full of buried foster boys that he banged first and then Michelle Bachmann gets swarmed by the rest of their kids and sodomized with a lebanese bayonette. Honestly I’d only be half joking. Your article should have a tampon string hanging from it.

  • kurt metzger

    You understand what im saying right?  It’s not that a joke about hate fucking is so great in and of itself, it’s that it’s subversive to PC and therefore elevated to great.  Poor taste is actually hilarious, even more so when offends a soft feminine sensibility such as yours.  I mean what did Marc’s joke make your vagina feel like bro? Like you were passed out on an MTV reality show and your roommates were blasting it with your own toothbrush?  I hope so!!!

  • Kurt Metzger

    Man I really have to comment on current posts. Who cares about anything im saying about a month old article? I know. I know it’s stupid.  It’s just that great comedians are under attack because the pc pendulum has swung back to Nora Dunn oclock.

  • Kurt Metzger

    Actually three month old article. Wow I am actually a bigger loser than the guy that wrote this.
