Throwing some red meat to the conservatrolls,  I see.

Are we still pretending the GOP didn’t invoke the Southern Strategy for the last 40 years and that for many of them their opposition to Obama is not solely based on his policies but his “otherness”?

Are we pretending that the hysteria over Islam and Sharia law and mosques nearly 10 years after 9/11 is just coincidental and has nothing to do with having a President with a “Muslim” name?

He’s a liberal which he means hes a hypocrite.

Team Obama media whore Maher is not only a sexist pig, but is also the one who expressed admiration for the Al Qaeda attackers right after 9/11/01 attack by Al Quaeda on the WTC. Maher has to be the most hated man in America. These were his words: “We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.”

Link to Maher expressing joy right after 9/11?

You are so full of cow dung your eyes are BROWN. cma6 is another crack pot Tea Idiot here who doesn’t have a pot to piss but will vote for policy that benefits the super rich. What a masochist you are. You are a white Uncle Tom dancing to the Corporate Masters of America tune Step and fetch it, pal!!!. Please Mr. Know-it-all, where is the quote that shows Maher rejoicing in the attack. Where is it smart guy!

If Maher removed the vile garbage from his political “commentary,” there wouldn’t be anything left.  There is no there, there.  In general, the most influential liberal “pundits” are those who have abandoned ideas and debate, and rely solely on insults, ridicule and tasteless jokes.  That is one of the main reasons why people don’t think the Left is fit to govern the country. 

learn the rules folks, liberal hate is good

You can call Maher sexist a hundred times for every time he calls the Tea Party a bunch of racists, he won’t really care, the truth will always sting a little more.

Fantasyworld

Good story . A greasespot like Maher calls Sarah Palin a tw@t , tells her child that she should admit she was horny , attacks any conservative woman the way he does , and then claims that it’s comedy . You can see from fellow clown Stewart and the filthy , vile liberals on this website who the lowlifes are .

Here’s POS Bill Mouthsucker in his own words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prQUMr6JbVk

I can’t stand Obama because he’s a Republican pretending to be a Democrat (although I voted for him last time.)  You don’t have to be racist to dislike the guy.  But the Teabsggers are racist, and that’s a fact.

I can’t stand Palin and Bachman because they are fuckin’ nuts.  You don’t have to be sexist to loathe them.  They are cut from the same crazy-ass mold.  The same goes for most of the rest of the Republicans.  (Romney is simply a flip-flopping liar who will say anything to be Prez and no crazier than the rest of the Mormons.)

wow, you are quite the bigot……….rock on

Yawn.  More right wing whine.

Bill said “boobs” !!!

He’s soooo cutting edge…

I missed the part where he expressed any joy at all whatsoever. Try again??

Wow. It must be lonely for you, being the only person making principled arguments here…

I mean, with such insightful sociological observations, you’ve *got* to be a government worker.

I love you Michelle. Thank you for being so proud of me. I hope that I will always live in your memory. Anyways, I’m going back to sleep now. I heard last week your husband called gays barbarians. Keep the hits coming.

You’ll doubtless be in the running for the Woodrow Wilson Tolerance Cup this year.

As soon as you call someone a racist, you win, so I think it’s typical that people pull the race card to shutdown opponents. Tell me something the tea party has said that is racist. I don’t support the tea party, but I seriously doubt they are racist.

I mean, it’s relatively de-centralized. I could point out all the bigoted signs at rallies, but those are dismissed as liberal plants. Of course they don’t have an openly racist platform or anything. But then again their platform is based on lowering government spending and majorities of those who ID with the tea party are against cutting Medicare and Social Security, aka the 2 biggest drivers of government spending.

He’s George Soros, probably. GET OFF THE BOARD SOROS!!!1111

And by the way, racism and bigotry aren’t the same thing. Bigotry is more all-encompassing. And I don’t for a second believe that most or all tea party/republicans are bigoted. Just a not statistically insignificant minority.

If I woke up tomorrow and found that Maher had died in a chain saw accident, I’d find out where he’d be buried, so I could make arrangements to travel there and piss on his grave.

Here, check out what Bill Maher (and his embarrassing fans) consider to be appropriate “political commentary”:

Face it, you would find more intelligent “political commentary” scrawled on bathroom walls. 

Well done Matt-
 
I would just like to throw out there that because Maher so plainly fails to see the dichotomy of the argument you made, he is either a raving hypocrite, or full of shit- and I say FOS meaning that he says certain things to push buttons (ala Rush) and get ratings, not because he means them.
 
I just have to laugh at these liberal commenters here- their comprehension level of the subject matter is so low its like they didnt even bother reading this post.

Hey, I am going to take on the MAHER robe of invisibility known as comedy, alright?

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”

“I want to cut his nuts off”

“Who is this “Emily List? She’s supportin’ all these people. She’s
supportin’ Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She’s supported Sen. Barbara
Boxer….She supported everybody. Why won’t she support me?”

“Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve’s ass while he was trying to help
his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it
was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve’s fault.
He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him.”

“A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.”

“You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”

Mahatma Gandhi “ran a gas station down in Saint Louis.”

Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.”

“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the
dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become
degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the
 wilds.”

Wait a minute, that was not humor, that was Democrats talking about their slaves!

I qarrrrrr une TEE that the next ones will be funny! Surely sir I will!

I love the way liberals can look at people and divine their motives.  It’s a special gift.  They will tell you quickly though that conservatives do not have this gift, and should stay away from speculating on what liberals’ motives are. 

I think it’s more racist than anything for the democrats to keep handing out entitlements to minorities which is basically saying that they don’t feel they have enough drive and brainpower to do for themselves.  Why is is that all the poor cities in this country have democratic mayors? 

You realize that Maher is one of those people up in arms over those whom ‘follow a hate filled book’. If you want to whine about bigots look no further than this sexist loon.

I love overly broad literally unprovable generalizations.

That was some funny.

I believe Bill said he would stop saying TeaBaggers when they stopped crying socialist. Or something to that effect.

Remember that part in the Bible where ut says it doesn’t do a hungry person any good to say “I’ll pray for you” and then send them away still hungry?

Your point is…what?  Because selected individual White Democrats made statements and comments that could offend certain ethnic groups, those ethnic groups should suddenly stop voting for policies that benefit them and join the GOP, which has OPENLY STATED their political racial strategy?

other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I

The Tea Party actually made the effort to police their ranks and cut loose some folks who were overtly racist.

1. There are FAR more Whites on Social Security than Minorities.
2. There are FAR more Whites on Medicare than Minorities.
3. Of the 43 million non-elderly Americans receiving Medicaid, the largest group at over 19 Million, is White.

How do you explain that, espo?

–Cobra

But, as Rachel would say, it’s TRUE ! ! !

The majority WERE from White people. Are you denying that?

What the clip didn’t show was Dinesh D’Souza, conservatives commentator, agreeing with Maher. Here’s the entire clip.

That is one of the main reasons why people don’t think the Left is fit to govern the country.

Then how did Bill Clinton get elected twice in the 90s and Obama in 2008? Oh right, because the media is biased and duped millions of Americans into voting for someone against their own free will.

But blacks commit crimes and rape our women n’ stuff.

And Al Gore got 500,000 more votes than GWB.

See, I put things in my comments to catch folks like you. Let me post your comment again-

~Because selected individual White Democrats made statements and comments
that could offend certain ethnic groups, those ethnic groups should
suddenly stop voting for policies that benefit them and join the GOP,
which has OPENLY STATED their political racial strategy?~

Hmmmm, two of those comments come from black individuals recently.
Other comments are old, but a couple are very recent, one coming from Joseph Biden, the Vice President. You can attempt to equivocate all you want, conservatives generally try to be FAIR and EQUITABLE in race relations.

The problem is, the liberal or leftist side is PREVALENT in racism. That is what they do, they look at race, they look at station, they look at class, that is WHAT they do.

Oooooh, the MAJORITY were from white people. I could have easily done it the other way, but I trapped your sorry arse like I normally do to people like you. You wanted to TEACH me about something, but I taught you. Now go away before I taunt you a second time.

I know it is totally off-topic and irrelevant, but Palin sure gets the better of Bachmann on hotness in the two thumbnails at the beginning of this post.

Can you show me a picture of one of these signs at the rallies? I’m generally curious, because I’ve never been to one, and from the coverage I have seen on the tv’s I haven’t seen anything racist. I realize I could end up shooting myself in the foot on this one, because I’m ingorant of such signs, and I would like to see them if they are out there.

The Tea Party may not be racist, but if you are a racist then you probably are with the Tea Party.  These people are against everything that helps “other” people.  I know some Tea Partiers who are doing worse than I am financially and would probable go hungry if it were not for government assistance, (un-employment check, food-stamps, etc.,etc) but they quickly point out ‘”others” who recieve the same benefits and assistance. .  The only difference…they are white and the “others” are people of color.  When I asked them why the double standard, their reply is “I earned mine.” If that ain’t racist then, WHAT IS IT?

I don’t understand this thread…

Conservatives call Maher sexist )in their opinion) and he defends himself.
Maher calls teabaggers racist (in his opinion) and they defend themselves.

I’m pretty sure that’s the way it’s supposed to work

Probably because Palin is a lot hotter than Bachmann, who I don’t really think is hot at all.

Actually he said he would stop using teabagger when conservatives stop saying Obamacare.
Which is kinda lame because Liberals say Obamacare too.  :)

Nice representation of the evolutionaly control of minorities by the Democratic Party..  Now let’s take a look at what the real truth is…  and please any one of these that you don’t believe take the time to look them up and learn…

November 6, 1956African-American civil rights leaders Martin Luther King and Ralph Abernathy vote for Republican Dwight Eisenhower for President
September 9, 1957President Dwight Eisenhower signs Republican Party’s 1957 Civil Rights Act
“Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws… On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight.”
September 24, 1957Sparking criticism from Democrats such as Senators John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, President Dwight Eisenhower deploys the 82nd Airborne Division to Little Rock, AR to force Democrat Governor Orval Faubus to integrate public schools
May 6, 1960President Dwight Eisenhower signs Republicans’ Civil Rights Act of 1960, overcoming 125-hour, around-the-clock filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats
May 2, 1963Republicans condemn Democrat sheriff of Birmingham, AL for arresting over 2,000 African-American schoolchildren marching for their civil rights
September 29, 1963Gov. George Wallace (D-AL) defies order by U.S. District Judge Frank Johnson, appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower, to integrate Tuskegee High School
June 9, 1964Republicans condemn 14-hour filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act by U.S. Senator and former Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd (D-WV), who still serves in the Senate
“Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws… On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight.”
June 10, 1964Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) criticizes Democrat filibuster against 1964 Civil Rights Act, calls on Democrats to stop opposing racial equality. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was introduced and approved by a staggering majority of Republicans in the Senate. The Act was opposed by most southern Democrat senators, several of whom were proud segregationists—one of them being Al Gore Sr. Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson relied on Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, the Republican leader from Illinois, to get the Act passed.
August 4, 1965Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL) overcomes Democrat attempts to block 1965 Voting Rights Act; 94% of Senate Republicans vote for landmark civil right legislation, while 27% of Democrats oppose. Voting Rights Act of 1965, abolishing literacy tests and other measures devised by Democrats to prevent African-Americans from voting, signed into law; higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats vote in favor

September 15, 1981President Ronald Reagan establishes the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities, to increase African-American participation in federal education programs
June 29, 1982President Ronald Reagan signs 25-year extension of 1965 Voting Rights Act
August 10, 1988President Ronald Reagan signs Civil Liberties Act of 1988, compensating Japanese-Americans for deprivation of civil rights and property during World War II internment ordered by FDR
November 21, 1991President George H. W. Bush signs Civil Rights Act of 1991 to strengthen federal civil rights legislation
August 20, 1996Bill authored by U.S. Rep. Susan Molinari (R-NY) to prohibit racial discrimination in adoptions, part of Republicans’ Contract With America, becomes law
And let’s not forget the words of liberal icon Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood…
We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population….

 Another uniformed comment. My cities poor espo222 and I have a republican mayor.

 Its the old If I get a government check its good if they get it its bad mentality

Wake up.  It’s 2012, not 2000.  The Democrats got destroyed in last year’s election — it was the most pathetic midterm performance of any party in modern American history.  And right now, Obama is losing by a huge margin to a “generic Republican.”  In other words, he can’t even come close to beating an anonymous fill-in-the blank candidate.

The increasingly irrelevant liberal media is contributing to this state of affairs.  Back in 2000, you still had Democrat journalists who possessed gravitas and integrity — people such as Tim Russert or Ted Koppel.  But nowadays, liberal journalism is run by clowns and buffoons.  It’s no coincidence that the most influential liberal pundits work for Comedy Central (Stewart, Colbert), while others (Maher, Olbermann, Maddow, Letterman, etc.) are either professional comedians or imitating professional comedians.  Did you see Rachel Maddow recently do her routine with sunglasses and bongos?  And she is the most serious of the bunch. 

Face it, your liberal heroes lack seriousness.  For them everything is a joke.  And who wants to trust a clown with issues of governance and fiscal management?   In a time of economic crisis and turbulent global conditions, the vast majority of Americans may laugh at their antics, but don’t consider them as trustworthy sources of political ideas.  Then again, you could watch Maher or Olbermann for hours and never see anything that even resembled an idea.  So who’s surprised? 

Maher has some serious issues with women.  Something must have happened to him when he was a kid.

1) Not all poor cities have Democratic mayors. 2) Republicans are mayors of wealthy cities because they represent rich white people who don’t give a damn about poor people and minorities. It’s actually quite simple. If it weren’t for rich greed and racism, maybe minorities would not need public assistance. But as we know, it’s easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle…

Charity for me and not for thee. That’s what the Baby Boomers are saying to everyone under 50 right now as they gallop into 20 year government-funded retirements.

He may be but, all liberals are certainly not.  It’s unprovable, at any rate.

Piffle!

Some of you are taking Maher too seriously.

Could you give an example of this?

Fair enough, now you were right about the tea party, there does seem to be a racist line to it when yo look at it. Now, denounce every single member of the democratic party that has said a racist thing.
I’ll help you out on this one.
http://hiphoprepublican.com/2006/08/top-racist-democrat-quotes_30.html

The people elected them, as it should be.

Remember diaper pins?  Mother Maher may have been careless.

Yup, that’s always the excuse for liberal assholes, isn’t it? If Maher came up to you and started talking about raping your daughter, would you just chalk it up as, he’s a comedian, or would you fu** him up? My guess is, since you’re a liberal pos, you’d let it slide, and then blog about how angry you are. Asshole.

My mistake. I thought your purported ignorance was genuine, and not just feigned in an attempt to link to some anti-Democratic site.

They DON’T have an openly racist platform…I COULD point to all the bigoted signs…based on lowering govt spending…majorities who ID… are AGAINST cutting Medicare and SS…
My Heavens man…I think all these things you mention PROVE, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, that the TP hates Barry-boy ‘cos he’s a half-n-half!

I wish I could still do the quotes thing so I could pick apart that fallacious argument piece by piece, as it rightfully deserves. Instead, I just kinda don’t wanna even bother.

oh mediate, could you make it anymore obvious you are part of the now dying breed of yellow journalism that the criminal newscorp has spawned? 

lets put it this way, if conservatives weren’t racist and were willing to vote for a bible thumping, nonsensical woman hating bigoted supply sider with daddy issues, alan keyes would be president.

That Bachmann lady scares me!!  There is something that just isn’t right with her.   

Fact:
Clinton votes 41%
Bush votes 39%
 Ross Perot votes 20%
Thus Perot stole election from Bush by dividing republican
votes moron.

Fact:Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 millionSquare miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/countymap2000.htm

Fact:N-please.

White 38.8%Black 39.8Hispanic 15.7Asian 2.4other 3.3To
break down these numbers, we look at how many Whites are in the population as a
WHOLE. If Blacks make up less 14% of the population and are almost 40% of all
receipients, then they represent about 2.5 times their actual population. Since
Whites are over 50% of the total US pop., they represent less than their overall
piece of the pie, population-wise. Hispanics are at least 15% of the general
population, so they take only about as much as what their population represents.
Why am I writing this? Because I am tired of the misrepresentations on this
issue. I read so many on here claiming that more Whites are on welfare than
Blacks (true, in terms of raw numbers), yet not accounting for the fact that
there are over 4X as many Whites in this country than Blacks! In statistics, you
cannot go by mere numbers. Only if the playing field is exactly equal, which is
rarely is! This thread was started, not to be racist, but to keep it real. After
all, there are some legitimate reasons for Blacks to be on welfare more than
Whites. But the worst thing anyone can do is be in denial.

Fact: Elected democrats are the reason they got taxed to the poor house!

Fact: Maybe it’s because public education union teachers made you the liberal lunatic that you have become today? Doesn’t Obama racking up the largest debt ever scare you? Need more taxes to spend more money. Don’t that scare you?

Bill Maher has never been sexist but as for the tea party…

Fact: Groid racist!

no clue what this argument is and don’t really care.. i just got here and not digging thru all these posts, but when u make a list like that you must include “per capita” .. example: stat (of 1 person) per 100 or per 1000.  Understand?

sample:  there are 500 green people and 50 of them are in jail
                there are 25 million purple people and 1000 of them are in jail

which has the largest % in jail?  obviously the green people

Fact: Too ugly to be a sextist.

FACT: george w. bush racked up twice as much debt as obama.  maybe you need some of thefax

Fact: Bush was out of office at approx 9 trillion in debt now in three years of Obama’s money printing and borrowing it’s at 14.5 trillion. Moron.

You can do a search yourself. Signs of Obama as a witchdoctor. There was an Email of watermelons on the WH lawn, a picture of Obama and Michelle as a pimp and his Ho. There was racism, but not nearly as widespread as the media made it out to be. Here’s a video of signs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S38VioxnBaI
The interesting thing to me is the signs included that are not racist. Obama as Hitler, Obama as the Joker, those are not racist. It’s not fair or helpful to view any criticism , even if it’s irrational, as racism. Unless the racism is overt, don’t assume the worst.
IMO, there was a concerted effort by some on the right to paint Obama as foreign, not really one of us, a Muslim, etc. that was intended to play directly to white people’s fear. Of course our first black president is going to bring out the racism in some people, but the fact that he got elected is a huge sign that racism is fading and how successful we’ve been in combating it.

You’re assuming that those comments are worse than the insults spewed by those two on a regular basis. There no objective measure for that and your opinion is no better than anyone’s. Who get’s to draw an official line?  The point is that conservative’s embrace the hateful rhetoric of those two while denouncing Maher, Stewart, and others for what they do.

No – it’s not the same thing, Schneider.  Maher said it – Palin and Bachmann are boobs.  t’s not just the politics, it’s the fact they are abject morons.  I say that because they are morons and their gender is just the way it is.  I don’t hate women, I’m not a misogynist.  I say the same thing about Santorum and Rand Paul. 

True and true, but for the sake of being accurate, what about % of the respective populations?

This “Southern Strategy” you’re trying to pass off is just another stupid leftard meme. If Nixon had been appealing to the racist southern whites you seem to think are running around all over the South, why would he have implemented policy that would just piss them off. Nixon did more to desegregate schools in the South that JFK and LBJ ever dreamed of.

Nixon was actually a card-carrying member of the NAACP  in the early 1960s when JFK was sending the FBI after MLK, and when LBJ was working hard to stop the civil rights of the “nigras” from happening.

RMN was the leader in Congress working to pass earlier versions of the ACT, while the Dems were siccing police dogs on blacks and blocking them from entering schools.

You idiots really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Wow…still trying to make believe those weren’t plants, huh?

A regular army of one.

He can’t…obviously. Typical left wing behavior…scream and holler, but when called out..run and hide

Try this then:

No – it’s not the same thing, Schneider.  Maher said it - Obama and Michelle are boobs.  t’s not just the politics, it’s the fact they are abject morons.  I say that because they are morons and their race is just the way it is.  I don’t hate black people, I’m not a racist.  I say the same thing about Sheila Jackson Lee and Bill Clyburn.

See how easy that is?

Love the “sexist” – is that what it is?  Rather a mild term for a foul obscene “comic” wouldn’t you say?
I have many words for Maher and sexist isn’t one of them.  

BTW – Please find one racist comment from a Tea Party member.  Just one please.  

You see you are so uninformed as to what the Tea Party is/isn’t that you buy into Maher’s prattle.
That does not indicate any thought on your part.  Tea Party has nothing to do with race – absolutely nothing.  

Of course you do because you’ve “heard” through the grape vine that that is what you’re supposed to think of them.  Morons they are not.  You might not like their message but that doesn’t make them dumb – that just makes them republicans which you are not allowed to agree with.

When you grow up and learn to attack the message instead of the messenger, then we can talk.  O.K.?

The “think tank” you are a member of is running on empty there.  

The so called Tea Party, a well funded astorturf political tool, heavily explored racism for gaining public support. Tea Partiers tend way more towards racism and studies have shown it. Google it. Maher is as almost always correct and makes a logical argument. His criticism has nothing to do with the gender of Bachmann and Palin who both would never be as well known if it wasn´t for their looks and their appeal has a lot to do with certain unchristian fantasies.

The problem with lying libs is that they make up stuff. In a libs mind the “Southern Strategy” was about race. To a lib liar everything is about race.
The Southern Strategy was about states rights. It is still about states rights. Obama wants the Feds to have all the power. That is why he won’t comply with court orders. That is why he is lying about sending out SS checks.
Obama is a socialis fool and he is not fooling anymore.
You lib liars have been exposed.

“Republican Candidate” Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%
Margin marks first statistically significant lead among registered voters
by Jeffrey M. Jones
PRINCETON, NJ — Registered voters by a significant margin now say they are more likely to vote for the “Republican Party’s candidate for president” than for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, 47% to 39%. Preferences had been fairly evenly divided this year in this test of Obama’s re-election prospects.

Open your eyes and ears. Maher calls them “c*nts”. He makes all kinds of sexual jokes about these women, how is that not as “bigoted” as making racial slurs?? Maher has every right to make tasteless jokes about those he doesn’t like, it’s a free country but don’t try to tell people those insults aren’t every bit as offemsive as racial slurs. Doesn’t it bother any of you to be so intellectually dishonest?

A few racist comments or signs do not make an entire group racist.

Kind of like your own statements about the Tea Party.

Have you seriously ever heard what they are saying? Or are you incapable of comprehending the crazyness of what they are saying? Speaks for itself Republicans are even taken these morons seriously. They are making statements  a comedy writer couldn´t make up. Palin “reads all the news”. She´s that well informed she invented a “Department of Law”, ffs. Maybe it escaped your attention. Bachmann has signed a pledge that is an attack to the core principles of the Constitution. She´s a christian fundamentalist and therefor an enemy of equal rights for each and everyone. She has zero tolerance for lifestyles that don´t fit her lunatic vision of the world. 

LOL…who did you trap? Who are you trying to dismiss? You’re on a BLOG, Kramer.  What is your argument?

DavidKramer writes”
“You can attempt to equivocate all you want, conservatives generally try to be FAIR and EQUITABLE in race relations.”

How do you square that with American History?  Provide facts and statistics. Being a loud, conservative White man is no longer enough to win debates in 2011.

“Hmmmm, two of those comments come from black individuals recently.”

 What is that supposed to mean? White Conservatives attack the comments of Black individuals 24/7, starting with the First Family.

 What have YOU been doing in YOUR posts on this blog thread?

–Cobra

Clinton never received more than 49% of the vote. In 2008 the liberal media was in the tank for their God, Obama.

So what?

How aout if bill maher is sexist you call him sexist and If the tea party is racist then call them racist.

Sometimes a person’s ignorance on a subject is so blatant, it’s stunning.

What was heavily explored was the complete absence of an ability of our government to do math, and their dramatic insertion into our private lives.  It was about the epic size of the debt and our current historic deficit, and the escalation of both. 

What it was not about, was bigotry, doofus.  Smart man, really really bad ideas for the rest of us. He got protested.  Just like George Bush. 

And since the far left couldn’t stand that their practices had been co opted, and they had no argument against the issues at hand (really can’t argue the math here, it’s obvious), they protested with the only means that they had left: shouts of bigotry and racism.

Ad hominem attacks are the last refuge of someone without any ideas.

Btw, I’m not a Christian and no one prays at these events.  Never saw a prayer, have no idea what people’s relgious beliefs are.  Yep, I’m sure that there are religious people involved in these groups, but it’s not the focus and never was.

will also add that neither women speak for the tea party, even though some groups have supported them.  We have no ‘leaders’.  

Remember when Bill actually was a comedian..before he came out..

checklist:

1)Bill still thinks the tea party is just the republican party.. check

2)Sexist to Bill is trying to join the rainbow club while shouting im not gay.. check

3)Bill usually does not get a left leaning weiner when he sees either of these republicans.. check

4)Bill does lean hard left and would rather do Dr Bachmann over Bachmann’s old lady… check

5)Bill is obsessed with two things, gays and anderson cooper.. check

6)Bill is getting old.. you can tell by the guests he allows on the show.. check

Come on Bill, show the secret wedding pictures of yourself and Anderson…

Of course he’s sexist, he just doesn’t like to be called on it.

Uh what?

You have leaders for sure. And it´s no secret at all they are called the Koch brothers. They call the big shots in the Tea Party. They founded it and are directing the efforts from the top. It´s not really my problem political scientists have concluded that a significant part of the Tea Partiers are racist. All the Tea Party stands for is directed against minorities and the majority of the American people. There´s only a very small group of people which could profit from the political agenda of the Tea Party. The Tea Party has risen on the Health Care Debate based on numerous lies, including the imagined and completely made up “death panels”.  

Has Bill Maher actually ever uttered anything anyone would consider to be profound? Why he is considered “intelligent” on any level escapes me. He continues to make broad wide ranging generalizations about groups of people. Besides being a shortcut to thinking that could also be considered racist. 

@blackflon:disqus

I hope you understand that I’m agreeing with you. There was some racism and the Tea Party made efforts to deal with it, to their credit. It is wrong to label an entire group based on the actions of a few. It’s ignorant. You see broad generalizations , and accusations all the time in partisan posts and blogs. We ought to get away from that kind of language. We’re smarter than that , I hope. 

Cobra hates white people. 

Cobra hates white people. 

Maher ‘dates’ women with the names of cities in front of their names.  Such as Chicago Shirley. 

Thanks JR for making some excellent points. Ad hominem attacks do not help us solve problems and both sides are guilty of them.
The truth is not so easy to come by and researching the facts takes some effort that people with busy lives may not have for. Both sides also tend to repeat the superficial talking points they heard or read.

Just to note, that the president has limited power to “fix” the economy. In order to understand what bad ideas Obama had we have to look at them really honestly and sadly in today’s political and media atmosphere that is very hard to do. False , and distorted information is eagerly thrown out there by people who think they are helping their “team” The truth is they are hurting all of us , including themselves by muddying the waters. We desperately need honest debate and available facts. 

Maybe if you were asking the question “why are these numbers so lopsided in favor of blacks, there must be something wrong with our system that so many African Americans are on assistance”. But instead you are using this as proof that blacks are lazy, which makes you look like a dirty racist.

Trenchant response.  Go back to the Comedy Channel, my friend, and get your dose of “news” for the day.

Fact: He’s as gay as Adam and Steve!

Fact: Tea Party isn’t racist!

Fact: Liberals think everyone who disagrees with them are racist. Liberals also tend to have weak perverted minds that look at conservative women with minds only as sex toys.

Or it might be because minorities didn’t get full rights, and have been forced to the bottom up until about 1960. Or it could be the fact that a white guy with a criminal record has a better chance of getting a job than a black guy without. So what you are saying is. If a white guy and a minority are in a race and someone holds the minority so the white guy gets a mile head start, I am racist if I give the minority a bike.

Fact: I’m a Tea Party member and I don’t have any
clue in what you’re saying and were you get off by saying it. Nothing you said
is true. CNBC had a guy on camera at stock market, one day said this stuff being
thrown down our throats is bullshift and Tea Party started on internet shortly
afterwards by word of mouth to protest against the crap bailouts at our expense
that we were not able to stop spending our money since we were not asked or
voted to do so. Tea Party is made of all people even minorities and you are
just a hack that doesn’t have any clue on what it takes to survive in America
without the government telling you what to think and how to act. Pitiful just pitiful.

Fact: Liar, Tea Party stands for closely following
the Constitution in the way the founders wrote it with God in mind. Democrats
are the party of no morals or God. Sad. People like you are all morons.

Have I “heard” what I’m saying?  No, not really – cause I didn’t say it out loud, I wrote it.  Yes, we are all morons because we don’t think like you do.  You’re suddenly so concerned with Bachmann’s religion and had no trouble with Obama sitting in a hate filled pew for 20 years.  Yup, the good old two faced Democrats.  She has zero tolerance?  You know this how?  

Let’s not even go into Obama “misspeaks” – everyone else lies but he just misspeaks.

I don’t care one iota if you do not agree with a Republican’s political policies.  I care when you start slinging mud that has nothing to do with politics – you are just attempting to malign a person because you don’t like them.  That is not someone who should be calling anyone else a moron.

I am comprehending all the crazy talk from the left.  The vile, obscene comments that you have no trouble accepting.  It says a whole lot about you – and none of it complimentary.

Now grow up.  

Fact: Typical lunatic liberal that has thrown yet another race card. Polly the parrot speaks.

love a “deep thinker”.  Come by it honestly or do you work extra hard at it.  

Don´t try to sell your delusions as facts. Wont work. You have big trouble with reading. I am a liberal and I don´t think everyone who disagrees with me is a racist. As matter of fact (look the definition of the word up):

http://www.newsweek.com/2010/04/25/are-tea-partiers-racist.html

I think the Tea Party is made up of a whole lot of good average people who have conservative/libertarian leanings. I also think that once it began to grow it was influenced and partially hijacked by the GOP or others with a personal, political, or financial, agenda. I’ve seen several of it’s early members saying exactly that.

So you ARE comparing Maher to Limbaugh and Coulter… RIGHT. How do YOU feel about those 2 that you are comparing Maher to… GOT YA!!!!

You project a bit too much. Oh wow, somebody said something on CNBC, I am almost impressed. Prob gonna forget about all the other information I came across. Congrats on being part of something you don´t even know what it really is. Can´t say I am surprised.

Fact: Please don’t use suggested sources. Go look at the real source and pull up your racist bullcrap on it flag it and post it here!

Here are the facts and they remain the same fact. Moron hack telling talking points.

http://politicalfilm.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/astro-turf-wars-2010/

You’ll have to explain that Got Ya to me. I’m comparing hatefulness to hatefulness. Why be so disgusted and outraged at one, and then give the other a pass.
Personally, I don’t look to Maher for accurate information. He’s either funny or he’s not and I agree he does go too far IMO, and the jokes become more hateful than humorous. That doesn’t mean he never makes a valid point. I’m sure if I could listen to Rush or Coulter I’d agree with some points they were making but their chosen vehicle is hateful so I prefer not to.
I think it’s just foolish to spend a lot of posts arguing who is the most hateful which comments are worse etc. Of course out own personal bias will influence that.
I just want pundits , news media, and average folks, to actually value the facts and try to weigh them with as little partisan vitriol as possible. Understand that Limbaugh, Coulter, Maher, ODonnel, Schultz, Hannity, etc. are only offering a personal opinion that can be exaggerated by the need for ratings and a big paycheck. An opinion, or foul language is one thing. Pundits who willingly distort the facts are worse IMO.

Fact: Here it is moron. lazy a$$ liberal.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/29283701/Rick_Santelli_s_Shout_Heard_Round_the_World

Fact: What you call a fact is a suggestion what I could do. You crack me up.

Fact: FakeCommonnonsense said:
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/255776/obama-pragmatic-socialist-stanley-kurtz

Fact: Tea Party is alive and well and its membera are of all makes. But they are pulling the load in same direction.

False equivalency; Maher’s commentaries are on point and based in reality, whereas the teabaggers’ signs and rhetoric are generated by their own intolerance and meanspiritedness.

Fact:

The insertion of one man’s sack into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act. If this isn’t being a liberal lunatic I don’t know squat! This is your Obama lovers creed.

Fact: The fact remains the same that you are all cracked up. Look at what your post states. It stinks.

Yes.  Like when Maher said Obama should act like a ‘real’ black man and carry a gun in his pants, he was basing this in reality.  

“Within hours of Santelli’s rant, a website called ChicagoTeaParty.com
sprang to life. Essentially inactive until that day, it now featured a
YouTube video of Santelli’s “tea party” rant and billed itself as the
official home of the Chicago Tea Party. The domain was registered in August, 2008
by Zack Christenson, a dweeby Twitter Republican and producer for a
popular Chicago rightwing radio host Milt Rosenberg—a familiar name to
Obama campaign people.”  You don´t know much about your party. ROFL.

Nice handle GoodGod. Not sure if you are from the states, but if you are, there are plenty of other countries out there that probably have whatever socialist utopian views you would like to see America have. My suggestion is pack your bags! Venezuela, North Korea, Iran would love to have you! If you hate the idea of a free country that allows the individual to chart his or her own course and would rather have some government dictate your course in life, there are options for you.

Of course Bill Maher is a misogynist, what a ridiculous thing to try to refute. There is tons of evidence of Maher ripping on left-wing women as well. He used to CONSTANTLY rip on Hillary Clinton before Sarah Palin became his go-to target for his sexist hate.

What you don’t get, Schneider, is the fact that these women are conservatives is just icing on the cake. Maher hates — and is probably scared of — powerful women.

The good old get-out-of-the-country-argument. How very “american” of you!

GoodGod is the one who doesn’t like it here! I was just explaining they have options and the freedom to go. That actually is very American. Those options don’t exist in other countries!

So to get this right: You are also suggesting that Tea Partiers who really don´t like it in their country should go also somewhere else? Or this only an idea for certain political views? And wouldn´t it be enough if they just aren´t allowed to vote? Just wondering.  

I haven’t seen any Tea Party members say they think America Sucks. In fact I believe they proudly display the American Flag in its proper form, not upside down. I presented OPTIONS to GoodGod. I don’t think they HAVE to leave. It is an OPTION for someone who appears to hate the country. Of course they can vote as well, that is an OPTION! In fact people of his ilk have voted to move our country closer to that of a Venezuela or France even and they are still not happy! Just presented OPTIONS! Is there something about OPTIONS you don’t get.

They are certain features that many cons share. One is a lack of reading skills, another is a lack of comprehension skills and last but not least the ridiculous attempt of projecting the own submissiveness on others. Bachmann has signed the mentioned pledge. The pledge is a document of intolerance and Christian fundamentalism at its worst. Therefor she is an intolerant  Christian fundamentalist. And btw, she´s proud of it and running on it.

That supports what I just said. I think there are a lot of sincere concerned citizens in the Tea Party, but out side financial and political interests as well. Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking otherwise. That doesn’t mean we have to abandon the interests and opinions of sincere citizens who want fiscal responsibility. It means we have to be smart enough to sift out corrupt influences and not let them take over. That means we have to work harder to sift the relevant facts from the distortion. The whole Oh No! communist socialism thing was reactionary overblown nonsense. Instead of looking for facts and discussing the issues we fought over who was or was not a communist. Again, we have to be smarter than that and mot let profiteers get us too far off track.

The point is it wasn´t hijacked. It was a planned and well executed political operation. Having said that I don´t doubt that there are more than enough genuinely concerned citizens who were taken advantage of. I agree what you have said below, but frankly it´s an illusion because politics costs a lot of money. System is broken and the fix wont come from the Tea Party.

  So that guy agrees with you? And…? The facts are that we’ve been somewhat socialist for decades. It’s perfectly reasonable to be concerned that we’re becoming to socialistic and that’s a great discussion to have, but we have to have it based on facts , and real world solutions to problems , not hysterics based on false propaganda.  “OMG!! The Nazi Commie Socialist are out to ruin the real America.” It’s distracting BS, that prevents us from dealing with the issues in a serious manner.

Except for the ones that are spreading a load instead of pulling. As much as you’d like to believe the Tea Party is all pure and sincere, I don’t think that’s the case and the facts {you remember them right?} seem to bear that out.

I see. I’d have to look closer. I have seen several people who were some of the first to get it going saying that it was corrupted as it grew, but either way, I think it’s important to realize there are sincere concerned citizens who deserve to be heard, and , that we also need to know the money behind it so we can keep it as real as possible. People insisting there is no outside influence in the Tea Party haven’t looked to close.

Bill you’re my hero…keep up the good work.

The Teabaggers are a bunch of racists. If the white hood fits, wear it.

My mistake, since you can point to some signs at a rally and identify them with an entire group, I thought I could point to some statements made by high ranking democrats and link them with the entire group. I was the only one who messed up…….

And so was Obama’s favorite pastor of twenty years.  But you didn’t seem to mind that. 

Just go search some of the Tea Party videos on youtube.. Many there! You dont see them on Fox but just about every other news source has shown them. The past few months their has been a lot of policing going on and they try to remove as many of the racist and stupid signs some of thesse people bring because they know it will end up being on the local news and youtube!

Your reading skills are so well honed that you skipped right over Obama’s Church’s beliefs!  Good one.

Bachmann is running on her faith? lol
What a doofus. 
p.s. the “document” is not about intolerance at all.  Just because you don’t agree with it – don’t make up garbage.  

Where’s that mischievous mug of yours?

You nailed it.  The show is a liberal circle-jerk.

You nailed it.  The show is a liberal circle-jerk.

Evidence that Wright is a racist?

Those examples forget to include the more than a dozen instances of Bush being portrayed as a monkey by his opponents during his 2 terms.
When Obama took office, I promised to be as nice to him as the crazy left was to Bush, but sadly for me I’ve been unable to stoop THAT low. Neither Bush nor Obama have given me reason to personally dislike them. I can disagree with political views without attacking the unrelated realm of the personal. And until we get more people into that way of thinking, we’ll have no progress in this country, regardless of how many groups you name after it.

His best friend is Louie Farrakhan, who is ant-Semitic and calls the white race ‘blue-eyed devils’.  Wright gave Farrakhan an award from his Trumpet Magazine, saying Louie ‘epitomizes greatness’. 

Well, YOU were the one’s who wanted “subjective reality” and ‘moral relativism”…..and now that you’re getting it, you’re surprised that everyone claims their view is the truth regardless of reality?

As they say, should have been careful what you wish for…

Have you even finished High School? With your reading and comprehension skills that seems doubtful.

Let me spell it out for you since you don´t understand.

“Have I “heard” what I’m saying?  No, not really – cause I didn’t say it out loud, I wrote it.” Think.

Don´t complain when your darling supports this garbage and is being called out on a position that is intolerant :

” Vigorous opposition to any redefinition of the Institution of
Marriage – faithful monogamy between one man and one woman – through
statutory-, bureaucratic-, or court-imposed recognition of intimate
unions which are bigamous, polygamous, polyandrous, same-sex, etc.”

And she´s being great for pledging she´s gonna be faithful to her spouse. Come on, does that mean that the marriage vow isn´t good enough anymore?  That the ones who sign this document have cheated and have now decided they wont anymore? Hysterical.

“white Uncle Tom”

Looks like “Republicans are Liars”‘s nascent racism is exposing itself

Typical right-wing re-direction when the subject at hand is too much to handle.

So if I have an uncle who is a racist, I am a racist?  Afraid not – guilt by association does not apply.

Typical right-wing “scared to death” of “Socialism”, even though they don’t have a clue what Democratic Socialism is all about.  Soviets still got you hiding under your bed?

Because of COURSE no one calls anyone on the Right names…..like “tea-bagger”. The left has always taken the moral highroad of god-like saintliness.
And of COURSE flippantly claiming on national tv that bachmann’s husband is OBVIOUSLY a closet case, aside from being an obviously bigoted statement toward closet gays, is totally acceptable as well, correct?

How about letting an adult attitude prevail, such as refraining from calling names yourself in order to elevate the discourse? Does it really take a 27 year old kid like myself to tell the adult table to settle down?

To make the assumption that “GoodGod” doesn’t like it here because of his user handle is ridiculous.  I love it here, but the way it’s headed right now, it sucks.

You’re just angry because Maher has outed your fantasy.

Actually, that is the main point of contention as Maher is concerned: That people take him seriously at all.

Takes one to know one.  But I’m not prejudiced.  More power to you and all your same-sex partners.

Why don’t you get your own Nationally renowned television show and have some of the most influential guests on the planet appear weekly (both left and right, male and female, straight and gay)?  And besides producing the show and writing most of its jokes, you have time to write other shows for HBO and for road tours.

Go for it…

What’s the matter?  Not intelligent enough?  Or just a whiny dummy?

You can’t choose your uncle.  You can choose to stay and listen to a racist for twenty years. 

That does of course disregard the century plus of Dixicrat reign, the implementation of Jim Crow laws under Democrat regimes, that whole “Party of Slavery” thing, the creation of the Republican party of Lincoln…..

I have news for ‘ya: Your Ministry of Historical Revision missed a few history books! Believe it or not some students actually can still get books that don’t fail to include the deep, dark history of Democrat support for slavery and oppression of the Black race.

And I’m not trying to say it’s all Democrats fault. I just cannot lend credibility to anyone who identifies with the Democrat party as advocates for the Black community without also realizing and owning the fact that their party perpetuated the communities current plight.

“A black man voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Yep, and 60+ years ago a Black man voting for a Democrat would have probably been voting for his ‘Massa”….and under their laws he would have probably been killed had he not.

What I find strange is that any other candidate would be made to prove the accuracy of their statements. Like the Revolutionary war started in Concord, New Hampshire (not Massachusetts)
Paul Revere’s ride. The list could go on and on. Palin’s statements are just as ridiculous too. I personally think that they should be forced to take a History exam then a civics course. (High School exam would be fine) I’m sure that both would fail to receive a grade of 40%, and if given a college exam barely a 30%

Listening to my uncle for 20 years does not mean I believe what he believes – it just means I listen to him for 20 years.  Same argument – guilt by association does not apply. 

Anyone charging Obama with racism because he listens to someone who might possibly be perceived as racist has a problem which goes beyond racism.

Why don’t you act out that fantasy on Maher?

Fact:The insertion of one man’s sack into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act like the gay party democrats act. Plus democrats were the KKK in the day so they can be called racist.

Fact: Hello Black Theology Church!

Fact: Groid please write some more about whites? You are a racist!

Fact: Sorry not a democrat.

Fact: Again not a democrat.

Fact: Wrong again but at least a start in learning what the Tea Party is.

Fact: Again the sollution to the problem is spend less than what is takened in as earned income. Taxing more and spending more raising debt ceiling is insane period. 1-1=0 balanced budget, 2-1=1 reduced budget and 2,5 trillion more to add to debt ceiling until 2012 and pay on it in increments for 20 years is insaine as Obama has asked. This is crap and I don’t want GOP to agree.

YOU GOT OWNED BITCH. THEY HIPHOP REPUBLICAN POST RAN STRAIGHT UP YOUR ARSE!

YOU GOT OWNED BEYOTCH. THE POST AT THE HIP HOP REPUB ALONG WITH MINE ABOVE RAN STRAIGHT UP YOUR ARSE!

No, we hate BARRY BOY because he is ANTI AMERICAN COMMIE SCUM, sorta like YOU. 

You are in denial. Understandable. Maybe one day you will learn what the organization is you are member of. A right wing by big business sponsored astroturf movement. Serving the interests of a few, successfully using many.

And Obama has “misspoken” every bit as much, and every bit as egregiously – and we’ve never been “honored” with the transcripts of HIS “education”.

So your point was?

Soros doesn’t need to waste his valuable time here; his “useful idiots” are legion.

Et tu, Publius219?

Im sorry but you would not want Obama to have to take any exams regarding America or anything else,  he has flubbed hid dub way too many times for you to ask for more.   In my opinion anyone making statements, comments or just conversing will get things wrong.  But it seems all the Liberals have against Republican Possible or declared candidates are the little gaffs they make.   Its a stupid game of gotcha and has nothing to do with ability to run for and gain the Presidency,   Your guy Obama claims all sorts of great credentials on his resume, but look at him.   He has totally castrated this great Country in only 2.5 years.   So what did his education do for him?   Nothing,  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Yes, it’s a pity that Mediaite took away your ability to present a coherent argument.

I just noticed that Publius219 “liked” my reply.

Now THAT is funny!

Well, now – aren’t you CHARITABLE!

So, the “not statistically insignificant minority” of “tea party/republicans” that are bigoted is a larger subset than that of “progressives/democrats”?  I would offer that your “good intentions” (now it’s my turn to be charitable) have led you away from what “bigotry” truly entails.  I never was a big fan of GWB, but he had some good speechwriters. ;)  One of them, Michael Gerson, coined the term, “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.  The soft bigotry of low expectations has been *institutionalized* by the left in this country, relegating entire races to generations of second-class slavery, addicting them to entitlement and – in their weaker moments – reminding them who can ONLY be relied upon as a provider. And why? Because *you* know that *they* can’t do it alone. Even though *you* somehow did. What is that?

“For an hour,” Chris Matthews said one evening not long ago, “I forgot that Obama was black.” Joe Biden and Harry Reid have both made similarly revealing comments.  This short article is a good read: http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/soft_bigotry_of_low_expectatio.html

So please think twice before you dish out sanctimony and condescension.  Physician, heal thyself.

Ann Coulter and Bill Maher are good friends. (At least, I know they *were* and I have not heard that they are no longer.) She has recently said that, yes, indeed, he is a misogynist.

As a friend of his, I guess she’d know.

@ramv36:disqus

I agree. Bush as Hitler, Obama as Hitler, same thing, and not racist. Obama as witch doctor and a few others. Racist.But that’s just a few people. I do think it’s despicable how the political right tried to paint Obama as some foreigner who is America’s enemy. Attack his policies all you want but the man was elected president.   I despised Bush myself, but I wouldn’t burn him in effigy or paint him as Hitler. I realize now more than ever, that  a lot of the same corruption that he brought to us, is still embedded in DC, because it’s rampant in both parties.

Perhaps you can explain what “Democratic Socialism” is? Somehow I get the feeling it is just like the other socialist experiments tried around the world but it will have the right people running it. Because socialism works in theory, right? Well I know one system that has worked in practice…Capitalism.

So you don’t like the way its headed but you want Democratic Socialism……..Can’t have it both ways!

Sounds to me like Dan is just spouting without understanding.  He mentions no specific quotes as he HAS no specific quotes.  He’s merely a drone repeating the party line.
As far Maher, there is not a more lowly sexist around anywhere.  In every sense of the word, he is using sexist rhetoric and attacks based upon political differences that he has with the victims of his verbal drive-bys.  He (and the majority of his Leftist brethren) are both sexist and racist.  They use the bludgeons of sex and race as blunt instruments for their attacks.  By the way… this also makes them hypocrites of the worst order!

 As would I have, as Dwight Eisenhower was a MODERATE. The fact that his actions during World War II helped usher in the total desegregation of the US Military. He supported Social Security, and had the highest marginal tax rate at 91%. There’s no room for an Eisenhower in today’s GOP.

“June 29, 1982President Ronald Reagan signs 25-year extension of 1965 Voting Rights Act”

What?? Black people were supposed to disappear in 2007?  Ronald Reagan campaigned AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1966.

“In 1980 Ronald Reagan told biographer Laurence Barrett that the 1965
Voting Rights Act was “humiliating to the South.” The carefully
handpicked, emotionally charged words from then GOP Republican
presidential candidate aimed to tap into the fury of white Southerners
over civil rights, and, of course, garner their votes. Two years later,
then Assistant Attorney General John Roberts (now Supreme Court justice)
sent a tidal wave of memos imploring President Reagan to reject a
25-year extension of the act. A hesitant Reagan approved the extension
anyway.”

Man there’s some crazy assed people on this Site! America isn’t a melting pot… It’s a boiling pot of shit.The Nation is done if this rhetoric is what you believe? It isn’t left or right retards. It’s a comedian twist’n your tits. & funny thing about it is he’s right. Tea Party loyalist are racist fucks!

principled?  LMAO  What do you think the dems were doing 60 years ago?  

His point is at the top of his head, If the MSM done thier job Obama’s apprval rateing would be at 33% only the b1acks and liberals.

I happen to agree with her.  A “marriage” should be between a man and a woman.  I agree with unions  between same sex and all the same legal rights – I do not agree with the sanctity of marriage being anything but between a man and a woman.  Me and millions feel the same.

Your last paragraph makes absolutely no sense.  Perhaps it’s just my grade school education that doesn’t allow me to understand it – none the less, I have no freaking clue what you were attempting to type.  

keep trying.  That race card bit – worn out.  You know it doesn’t even register on the meter any longer.  
Don’t care if the man was purple – doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing and many people are now seeing the naked emperor and it isn’t a pretty sight.  

are we talking about the President “misspeaking” about his birthday next week? lol

Yah, even that he has to lie about.  It’s in August.  

some are racists, but the majority of those you show have nothing to do with racism.  You lose!

Rush and Ann are, Admittedly, over the top!  But unfortunately for the left, they happen to be right.  Democrats only know how to tax and spend.  We need a government that knows how to decxrease the government entitlements (i.e. government jobs, and welfare checks.  Note:  I said nothing about medicaide.)  It’s time for people to get off their dead asses, and go to work.  And I don’t want any freakin’ excuses.  Paul the Apostle said, “if a man will not work, then he does not eat.”   Maybe it’s time for a few people (adults) to get hungry.

Take a look at the divorce rates in this country and tell me how sanctified marriage is. You don’t deny people their rights based on a feeling.  That’s the beauty of our constitution. It continues to demand we strive to live up to it’s principles and one is equality for all citizens.

You guys need to take down that picture of Palin and Bachmann.  The more I see it, the more I’m reminded of this passage from Sophie’s Choice by William Styron (’79):

“From the single grime-encrusted window in my rear fourth-floor cubicle I
could stare down into the ravishing garden of a house on West Twelfth
Street, and occasionally I glimpsed what I took to be the owners of the
garden—a youngish tweedy man whom I fantasized as a rising star at The
New Yorker or Harper’s, and his lively and astonishingly
well-proportioned blond wife who bounced around the garden in slacks or
in a bathing suit, disporting herself from time to time with a
ridiculous, overgroomed Afghan hound, or lying asprawl on an Abercrombie
& Fitch hammock, where I f–ked her to a frazzle with stiff,
soundless, slow, precise shafts of desire.”

I’ve tried very hard to be objective about all this.  Bill Maher just has me convinced. 

Lets cut to the chase: the author of this article is a twit. With little to no talent and I doubt he has the journalistic chops to write for People Magazine.

 The first slave ship from Africa to reach the Americas was called “The Good Ship Jesus” in the 16th Century…long before the Democratic Party. There was slavery before there was a Continental Congress. There was slavery before there was a Revolution.  You will NOT whitewash history while I’m here.

Conservatives are whiny crybaby victims. Bill Maher has issues…guess what? So does EVERYONE.
Get over yourselves and stop looking for some authoritarian father figures. Turn off Faux News and take responsibility for the economic and political mess your denial created. OPEN YOUR F’N EYES to reality.

Fact: Liberals throw up fur balls on every post like
this educated one misspelled Fox News. Hahahahahaha……………

Fact: Perot started as republican and had a following of republicans that backed him. Then last minute changed to Independant. All of his platforms were mirror with slight difference than republicans platform. That evidence?

He did not say did he? He said admiration. Unless I missed something in an earlier post.

Never mind I saw it.

Your words show that you have never spoken to a tea party member.  I have never found one Tea Partier that does not fully understand that our abused and stolen SS benefits must be reformed.  Most of these people I am referring to are in their late 40s and all are willing, since they know our Gov. political elites have robbed SS, and they are not retiring @ 65 and expecting anything from SS.  Medicare reforms and cuts are no exception as well as Medicaid.  All of these mismanaged programs are in dire need of reform and the Tea Partiers fully know and are more then willing to take the hit for the good of our country. 

“Liberals throw up fur balls on every post like

Senator Bernie Sanders is a Democratic Socialist.  One of the best ways to understand what Democratic Socialism means is to visit his website to see what he stands for:

http://sanders.senate.gov/

Please don’t summarily dismiss Sanders before you understand what he is all about.

Capitalism has not worked in practice.  Not only was the Great Depression a perfect example of how and why Capitalism can and does fail, this current economic downturn – which is far from over, not nearly yet hitting bottom – is the most recent example of how and why Capitalism can and does fail.

Capitalism could work if we removed one human vice from the equation:  Greed.  I think many of us know that is impossible.

@Monty_Pyth0n:disqus :  You state:  “So you don’t like the way its headed but you want Democratic Socialism……..Can’t have it both ways!”

That  makes no sense whatsoever.  Additionally, I don’t want it “both ways”.  I want an end to corporate fascism.

What do I mean by not liking “the way it is headed”?

I am against the privatization of the United States of America by multi-national corporations.  That’s where we’re heading, and we’re already too far gone along those lines.  A brief review of how Monsanto Corporation has stolen land from farmers around the world, and has imposed mandatory control over what American farmers can grow, and how they can grow it is only one example of the authoritarian dangers of corporate rule.

The people need government to keep the corporations in line.  We can always vote a politician out of office – but if the CEO of Blue Cross / Blue Shield refuses to pay for your mother’s cancer treatment because of “pre-existing conditions”, there’s nothing you can do about it.  You can’t vote out a CEO – even if you are a shareholder.  Wal-Mart is an excellent example of the abusive powers of corporate CEOs.

Why don’t you act out that fantasy on yourself?

Neither were Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig nor Bob Allen. C’mon.  No need to be ashamed about it.  You’re in the good company of other bad men.

Fact:  The Tea Party is just a label.  It’s the many, many, many people – men, women and children – within the label “Tea Party” who are racist.  I don’t need you to tell me they’re not.  I go to Tea Party events myself, and see with my own eyes.

To use a Tea Party Site as a reliable source to research what’s right or wrong within the Tea Party is like using the Republican National Committee site as a reliable source to research what’s right or wrong within the Republican Party.

Not only do you not present “just 4 the fax”, you present the logic skills of a six year old girl.

tell us exactly what you’ve seen, and how many people are participating in it.

Will you please explain to me why Liberals, progressives and communists always seem to point to others bad behavior to justify their own bad behavior?  This is a repetitive issue.  Reminds me of some second grade playground argument.

Finn, have you seriously not noticed conservative posters doing that?  I agree it’s pretty juvenile, but let’s use the same standard for all posters.

Really stupid analogy, but with you I wouldn’t expect anything more intelligent.

You seriously need to learn to read. You just said you agree with her while you disagreed with her because she opposes same sex unions.

You seriously need to learn to read. You just said you agree with her while you disagreed with her because she opposes same sex unions.

Wow….Bernie Sanders…..just Wow! That’s what you come with. Yes capitalism does have a flaw with people and the possibility for those with greed to exploit. So does “Democratic Socialism” People who are in power have political greed. On top of that the system is based around a central planning government where all the power lies in one place.
 
Capitalism is a system that fosters the most innovative, bright minds to create some of the worlds greatest achievements.  In just 235 years our country has become a world leader. We do not have any different DNA from other people in other countries. What makes us different. We have the freedoms, especially economic freedoms, that allow us to be great. Yes greed is terrible, but just remember that government intervention is what led to the last recession. Banks were forced to provide loans to those who would not otherwise qualify since their competition was Fanny and Freddie who were doing just that. In order to make these very unattractive loans profitable they were packaged and sold. If the banks would have been doing business as usual (providing loans to credit worthy clients) we would not have had the hard fall that we did since the growth rate in that sector would have been steadier and more sustained. We are always so quick to blame greed, but government action led to the decisions that banks made. Also, if you still believe it is solely the big banks fault, then they should have been left to fail. With failure as an option it leads to less greed or risky decisions in the future.

Socialism has been tried in many forms, and has never shown the results that Capitalism has shown right here in our short history as a nation.

Here’s a question to ask about the Tea Party and racism. If one were racist, would he not be a supporter of the Tea Party agenda? They certainly wouldn’t support the Democratic agenda. All Tea Party people are clearly not racists, but all racists are Tea Party or right wing paranoid haters of some similar bent. Wanna be with the racists? Join up with Sarah, Michelle and the rest of the crazies. 

Did you read that off of your copy of his Kenyan birth certificate?

Oh, please.  Just take one moment, and google “tea party racism” and watch the videos pop up! You’ll have an evening full of watching entertainment.  So don’t tell me the tea party doesn’t promote and support racism.  That’s absolute BS and you know it.

Are you really this stupid?

He is not anti-American, he’s proof that the American dreamm still exists.  How do you come up with these ideas?

You are completely correct, except for the fact that they are, in fact, racist. 

That’s simply not true.  When has Obama ever made a factual error about basic American history?

C;mon Matt; you’re comparing Apples to Oranges.  Unfortunately, there is still a lot of bias against Obama based on his race.  Let’s put it this way; admitting that a minority of Americans are still bigoted, which party would they support?
It’s hard to call Bill a sexist; he’s an obvious appreciator of women; I would even go so far as to say Bill is a feminist; he constantly supports women’s rights.

Bill Maher speaks the truth.  The Republicans have destroyed the middle-class in this country, on whose backs this country was once made
great.  Taxes for the wealthy “job creators” have steadily declined
since the Reagan administration.  There were higher taxes, a balanced
budget, and a surplus when Clintion left office.  This surplus was
squandered under W’s administration.  W’s administration lied about
Saddam having WMDs and ties to al-Qaeda, and we were told that that war
would be paid for by Iraqi oil.  W and his administration are
war-profiteers, traitors, and war criminals.  Under W there were tax
cuts, and under Obama these cuts were extended, so where are the jobs? 
Obama has made too many concessions; there isn’t single-payer
healthcare, we have a plan similar to Romney’s, Gitmo hasn’t been
closed, he sent a surge of troops to war, and he currently has put too
much on the table for the debt ceiling talks as far as Social Security
goes.  Republicans want him to fail and have put many obstacles in his
way so that their party can win back the Whitehouse in next years
election.  Where are the Republican job creating bills?  Lower taxes
hasn’t and will not create jobs because the wealthy just hoard the money
away instead of spreading the wealth through “trickledown economics”. 
Republicans want lower taxes, a larger income gap; abolishment of the
minimum wage, worker’s rights, social safety nets, and government
regulations; tort reform, arbitrary agreements, and corporate person-hood.  In other words, they want the middleclass to merge with the
poor, have no rights in the workplace, to a livable wage, protection
from an unsafe work environment, the ability to sue their employer if
they are harmed in an unsafe workplace, or protection if disabled or
laid-off.  The Republicans want the American Dream to only be available
to the wealthy (the new aristocracy) while the middle-class (the new
poor) are left to toil as wage-slaves and serfs.  Republicans are all
about greed, veiling themselves as “Christian Conservatives” they
crusade against gay marriage and abortion, while at the same time they
want to eliminate social programs meant to help the poor, so what would
Jesus do?

No one would suggest that all Republicans are racist. However, I would suggest the majority of racists are Republicans or identify themselves as conservatives.

Obama  was elected president.   I despised Bush myself, but I wouldn’t burn
him in effigy or paint him as he was Hitler. I realize now more than ever,
that  a lot of the same corruption that he brought to us, is still
embedded in DC, because it’s rampant in both parties. i would not vote for either  ladies  for president and BUSH HAD MESS THE COUNTRY WHEN Obama  BECAME president i think both are no good for the country they are only thinking of them oh and  best good liar they are to make us think working for us the people

Bill comments the same whether its a female or a male conservative, with wacky ideas.  He is making fun of these people’s wackiness.  The “Tea Bagger’s” state Obama is not an American.  They say he was not born in this country.  They call him a Nazi, or Hitler.  These statements are construed as racist because they are not tied to any policy.  And, as for Obama’s liberal agenda.  He is not a liberal at all.  All of his policies, including the healthcare policy, were initially born from Republican ideas.  Liberal’s wanted single payer, Medicare for all.  We are not even close to that.  See Bob Dole’s healthcare compromises with Ted Kennedy.  The thing that is so wacky about the Tea Bagger’s is they re-write history to their advantage.  Nothing they say is based on fact.  They are just bully’s!

I see we have alot of ignorant Americans but I would hate to burst your bubble but America is in the shape it is not because of Obama its because of Bush. When Bush was in office there was a surplus but with him and his band of merry twits they went on a spending spree giving the wealthy major tax breaks starting 2 wars on shaky evidence so the simple fact is Obama came into office with all these problems but when he has tried to do the right thing and put a long term solution forward the silly republicans and Teabaggers do everything they can to sabotage his plans they also refuse to compromise when Obama tries to work with all the parties. So I think the intelligent thing to do is stop blaming Obama for all these problems and start questioning the far right motives for trashing the economy.     

Once again we fall for dupes. Arguing online with conservative trolls is pointless. Many of them are getting paid to do this. As for the ones that are not paid, like the comedian said, “You can’t fix stupid.” I would encourage anyone reading this to read up on the “ALEC” political consortium and their agenda. They are the true enemies of America, trying to sink us all for decades.

Monty_Pyth0n: The fact that you belittle Bernie Sanders, who has the best interests of the American people in both his words and his deeds tells me all I need to know about you.

We don’t need your “definition” of Capitalism.  We are living with the results of Capitalism right now.  Any fool can see what Capitalism means. 

Your cliche right-wing talking points about how we got where we are (“banks were forced…” etc.) is such B.S. that any high schooler with half a brain can see right through it.

Your lie about Socialism not working anywhere ever pins you as that which you are:  a blatant liar who runs from the facts because you’ve been totally brainwashed by the right-wing spin machine.

People like you make me want to root for al-Qaeda.

At one event there were approximately 4,000 people in attendance – at the so-called “9-12 Tea Party Rally”.  It’s not as much what I saw, but what I heard while attending as a member of the press. 

All I have to do is engage someone in a private conversation while at a Tea Party event, and many of those with whom I speak love to make racist jokes about the “watermelon man” in the White House.

Finally, regardless of what I say, right-wingers and Tea Party “members” are going to deny racism.  I don’t care.  I have my own proof.

Thank you for answering. I meant no disrespect but am genuinely curious. I wish you had recorded some of those conversations.
I remember watching a lady being interviewed at one rally and the question was posed to her “what woke you up and made you be more active?”
her answer was “those video clips of Reverend Wright” That’s not overtly racist but I thought.” Really lady? We’ve been in two wars for years now and those clips woke you up?”

I’m convinced that for a lot of white people the thought of no longer being the controlling majority is worrisome. It’s easy to be generous and magnanimous when you have the security of control, but Obama’s election pointed out to them that that may not always be the case. That’s why we got that whole backlash of white America as the poor victims of reverse racism. Only an opinion of course.

Okay, so what about this Tea Party poster? http://bit.ly/oOh4k9
Or this one? http://bit.ly/q6rbts
Or the dozen shown on this page?? http://bit.ly/pfcA7JOr this email sent out by a Tea Party activist?  http://bit.ly/q1Gfd3
And really, since WHEN have conservatives really even CARED ABOUT WOMEN? They tried to suppress their right to vote in the early 1900′s, now they are trying to take away our right to choose, they don’t want us to have access to free, or even, affordable birth control, and they would rather let us die and save our unborn child. We are NOTHING to them! Except when someone they don’t like makes them mad they will stand up for a woman on THEIR SIDE. It disgusts me.

Bill Maher, unlike most conservatives, is pro-choice and for health care reform that would give women affordable reproductive care, like birth control!

Whatever debt Bush got us into, Obama put it on steroids.

Michele Bachmann dismisses a whole segment of society as “Barbarians” but we should worry about Mahler calling her a boob?

Puleeeeeze

 I love your argument! ” In my opinion anyone making statements, comments or just conversing will get things wrong.”  I totally agree with you, your statement is wrong and you cannot back it up with citation or evidence.

 Right now they oppose a “mosque” being built in Murfeesboro, Tennessee.  That may not be racist but, the reason is that “this is the type of establishment that fuels extremists” might be.  They then cite that it is the people’s right because “separation of church and state.”  A compelling argument for a group that promotes their christian values as a higher power than the constitution.   Maybe “racist” isn’t the right word, maybe they just feel that “Muslims” do not have the same rights as “Christians.”  Oh wait, then it is the right word.  So now that that has been established, should you change your statement or beliefs?

 Well we should throw them a tea party and only invite those who are “not overly” racist. 

Did you notice I said OVERTLY with a T not overly? Two very different words in definition.

When he said that America only began to be great when it adopted entitlement programs, for one.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.  Dinesh D’Souza was right about Obama: his “foreignness” is not a matter of birth, it’s a matter of attitudes. He may well be able to spout facts well enough (when not “misspeaking”), but he doesn’t understand the spirit of America or its people.  I guess that’s what comes of being raised at the foot of people like Frank Marshall Davis.

Don’t get full rights????  Affirmative action is full rights and then some. 

Yours don’t seem to have done a lot for you either He has a year a half to finish before we elect him for FOUR MORE YEARS>>>>>>

The 19th amendment to the U.S Constitution 1919. (The Susan Anthony amendment) In the House of Representatives, in favor 304 opposed 89. Republicans 200 for, 19 opposed.  Democrats 104 for, 70 opposed. In the Senate the total vote was 56 in favor 25 opposed. Republicans were 36 – 8 in favor and Democrats a pathetic 20 – 17 in favor.  Please get your history straight.  As far as you wanting free birth control, pay for it yourself ya mendicant!  

That’s patently absurd and historically inaccurate.  The Republican party has done way more to promote civil rights then the Democrats. From the founding of the party and the abolition of slavery to the modern civil rights movement. Check the party platforms and the voting records on every thing up to ending the poll tax with the 24th amendment.  I challenge you to read this. http://www.blountweb.com/pdfs/CivilRightsPlatforms.pdf .  There have been prominent African American Republicans since the founding of the party until present day. From Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth to Dr. Martin Luther King.  When the far left took over the Democratic Party in about ’72′ They started to divide and conquer using the race card to fill their ranks.  Don’t believe the hype!  Come home to the G.O.P. !!!

That “let’s have a three-way” line was funny as hell.

Ali Higgins didn’t say anything about Republicans and Democrats. She was talking about CONSERVATIVES not caring about women. Republicans and conservatives are not the same thing.

Martin Luther King was not a Republican.

In what way is Sarah Palin a “powerful woman”?

Socialism is working in practice just fine. Try visiting Sweden some day.

Fact: The majority of Tea Party members are racists.

No, liberals consider anyone who thinks some races are superior to others to be a racist. Oddly enough, conservatives tend to think that way.
