So, in other words, what Bill Maher said worked, was effective, and achieved everything he intended for it to do.

Too easy.

lol at angry tebowggers

its almost like hes pushing buttons.Can someone say religious wingnut bait?

This illustrates why Maher is a wealthy and beloved celebrity, and Becker and Bolling are pathetic fatasses hunting for spare change in Roger Ailes’ nutsack.

Bill Maher reminds me of the comedians of the 70s; they would drop racial epithets and insult people who were different from them through outlandish stereotypes, playing to the imbeciles and bottom feeders who appreciated that humor. Bill Maher does the same thing for the same type of imbeciles and bottom feeders. 

I agree that Maher is playing to the Fox News crowd.

Bolling had to take it to tv because he’s jellous that he has 24,000+ tweeter followers comparded to 800,000+ Maher’s followers.

Bolling is a sad pathetic little man trying to go the same path as Maher but just in the opposite direction.  The only problem is Bolling sucks at it and its the only schtick he’s got.

Wish these idiots would read the Bible, especially the Gospels. I seem to remember where it says to pray in your closet..

Somehow I don’t remember anything about praying in front of 50K. That to me is 50K too many.

The only time that praying in public is appropriate would be saying grace silently or very quietly.

Ya. F that ahole for building orphanages. I’m sure you do much more good by 8am.

Tebow or Bill?

Maher is a beloved celebrity ? That is the dumbest thing a libtard has ever said no wonder you guys are so disliked by the other 79 percent of the population.
The second dumbest thing a libtard ever says “those who live in glass house’s should not throw stones”And they say it like they are the first ones to ever say it.
Which is the libtard comeback for everything

It “worked” on the uneducated.

*that would be you.

Wow that made sense to all 5 libtards on Mediate.

So weath determines whether you’re right? I’ll let Beck know.

So tweets trump ratings? I didn’t know channels charged their advertiseers by tweets, not ratings.

Maher was a dick for saying that, but, how about this?
http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/game-on/2011/12/14/tebrewx-large.jpg 

When is the last time Maher or any of the ilk like him did something like this ?

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/sports&id=8479033

and if mediate calls that a joke ..not a joke..sad that maher’s such a troll..real men like Beckel and Bolling so far and few..Maher might learn something..maher’s a pig in wolfs clothing

The reason Bill Maher does makes such outrageous comments is because people talk about it. Bill Maher is a sad old man, and if we ignore him, he’ll just go by the wayside like one of those old people that always makes sexist, racist comments.

Washed-up FOX News house “Democrat” and Miami Vice Bolling conjure up as much canned outrage and whining as they can to fill air time.

I would boycott Bill Maher… But I already don’t watch him or HBO.

You sound reallly hurt, if you ask him nicely, maybe Tebow will pray to jesus for you. 

I’m gonna pretend Frances Martel didn’t just twist herself in knots trying to convince us that people that believe in ghosts and fairy tales deserve respect.

Keep in mind that the dumbest thing a “libtard” may say is the smartest a “contard” could possibly convey

Maher does not believe in God, and says that those who do are crazy. How the hell can he believe in hell, AND have the balls to say that Hitler is in hell? Even Hitler, as horrible as he was, could have asked God for forgiveness before he ended his life! We don’t know… But Maher does? What a freak.

“So, in other words, what Bill Maher said worked, was effective, and achieved everything he intended for it to do.”

Which was what, exactly? It proves Maher is an idiot and loos like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs…

I’m sorry I just don’t understand the hate for Tebow. As I sports fan I don’t care what religion, what race, what country, what anything. Just get the job done and stay out of the police reports. I don’t look to sports star for advice or anything other then entertainment. Maybe something wrong with me.

Society is far better off when religion and the religious are ridiculed.  The foolish attempts of Fox Newsies and apparently Frances Martel to make religion a sacred cow is EXACTLY the type of behavior that needs the pushback.

People like Maher are doing a great service to society by exposing the frauds and hucksters that peddle their BS voodoo while at the same demanding that what THEY hold sacred MUST be respected by everyone.

News flash jesus-freaks:  You can believe in ghosts all you want, but you damn well better expect to be ridiculed for believing in the ridiculous.  Your sacred cows are only sacred to you.  To anyone with a brain, religion is a punchline.

Bill Maher is hysterical, and he just goes to prove how thin skinned these idiot conservatives are, especially the morons on “The Five.”  Keep it up, Bill.  The funnier you are, the more unhinged they become.

No, what this further proves is that conservatives do not have a sense of humor whatsoever, which explains why liberals rule the comedic airwaves.  How sad for you…

Agreed.  America is slowly becoming more of a secular country (it’s about time, because that’s what our founding fathers intended all along).  I get sick and tired of those full of their religion passing judgment on the rest of the world because we don’t agree with them.  They shouldn’t be at all surprised when jokes are made at them.  I’m all for gay marriage, and it pissed me off when the religious zealots in Utah threw in millions of dollars into prop 8 so California could discriminate against a minority.  Screw them.

Oh tough guy Bill, he is so brave, not! Billy is a sissy and a gutless coward. He would never say this about a Muslim football player giving praise to Allah because Billy is a panzy.

Does Tebow say anything loudly, or does he pray to himself and whatever other players choose to pray with him?

Do you really think he should hide himself in a closet to pray? And wouldn’t suggesting anything of the same to someone of another faith be considered offensive and racist?

It is piss ants like you that are passing judgement. Read your own post you tool! Also Tebow has never said a bad thing about anyone, not even about judgemental freaks like yourself.

Do you feel the same way about Democrats and Liberals who have faith?

Have you mocked Pres. Obama for his beliefs?

Since you are totally clueless about Bill Maher, what’s the point?  You obviously have no idea all the shit he’s said about how Muslims treat their women in the Middle East.  Wake up, Einstein and edumecate yourself before making another ill-informed comment.  He hates ALL religions, as do I.

All the liberals and Democrats who have faith don’t wear it on their sleaves and pass judgment right and left ala Fox Noise.  The same can’t be said for all the rightwing religious zealots who have no problem with that.

Maher is a sissy and you are mr. tough guy, ooh ridiculing Chrisitians, you are so brave. I notice you say nothing about Muslims, that is because you are a sissy. I am not even religious but I am sick of intolerant arrogant bigots like yourself who think the’re so smart. You are so intellectual and enlightened because you dont believe in God. I got smarter reading your post, lol! I think the atheist dictatorship of North Korea should be ridiculed, no religon there and take a look smart guy, one of the worst human rights records in the world but there is no need for me to point that out to you because you are Mr.smart, the intellectual one.

People like yourself who believe in nothing deserve no respect, Mr. intellectual. You bigot, why dont you go live in North Korea. you would fit right in. Why dont you go be Mr’ intellectual there.

Which means you are boycotting Bill Maher.  Helloooo?  Anybody home?

LOL!!!  Like I said…

Saying grace silently or very quietly is what you do in the atheist dictatorship of North Korea. We live in the USA. Freedom of religion.Praying in your closet doesn’t take any courage. It is gutless. I think Jesus also said that if you deny me, I’ll deny you.

If you knew anything about North Korea, you’d know that their attitude toward opinions different than theirs is to do exactly what you’re suggesting:  exile the troublemakers.

Congratulations on making yourself look like an idiot.

that’s why the five are a hit and Maher has to count on mediaite to give him a platform.  

You’re really bright there matt.  

All you have to do is google “Bill Maher Islam” and you’ll get a long list of video clips of Maher denigrating and making fun of Islam and Muslims.  And he does it on national television, making himself a target.

Yeah, quite a panzy.

you’re throwing stones at someone else’s post? lol
You, a fan of a creepy greasy dirt bag?  
Seriously bro, you’re out on a limb there and it’s creaking.  One good wind and the whole damn thing comes tumbling down.

You realize if Maher was a conser. he’d have been hung out to dry a long time ago.  You fools will support any foul mouthed, creepy idiot, who is a democrat.  Speaks poorly of your ability to separate the wheat from the chaff.  

the only great service Maher is doing is to fools such as yourself.  Don’t care if you worship you  belly button.  Maher is a freaky fool, who’s figured out how to get a little more press, and you’re buying his b.s.  

Talk about a fool.  

I think to boycott Maher, one would have to have had plans to watch him in the first place.

In other words, just because you don’t shop somewhere, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re “boycotting” that store, right? You have to actively not do something, instead of passively not doing it.

Maher is just showing how outrageous sports stars like Tebow are when they say that god is on our side and all that stuff.  God probably could careless about a football game.   You can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.  

Not to be overly argumentative, but I do remember Sen. Obama talk quite often about his faith and his preacher (even before the scandal). Isn’t that “wearing it on his sleeve?”

As for “passing judgement,” isn’t that exactly what Maher is doing, and what you’ve encouraged here on this thread:

They shouldn’t be at all surprised when jokes are made at them.

Why is your “judgement” different or more acceptable than their’s?

As much as I love Bill Maher I just think he went a little overboard with. 

And what really ticks them off is that everything he says is true.

Your just jealous because Bill Maher is funnier than Rush Limbaugh.

Couldn’t have been said any better.. Funny how all the Laura Ingraham types preach about their faith yet somehow choose to forget what Jesus preached about on The Sermon on the Mount.

That I agree with you on. Tebow was a class act on and off the field.

Maher will still be as popular as ever. As soon as he starts his show in HBO is when I subscribe to HBO..

Kinda like Rush Limbaugh?

Hahahaa! :)

Tebow is so bad the Broncos are thinking of starting the monkey riding the dog at QB next year.

Look at his stats, then look at the winning percentage of the teams they beat during their “run”.

This isn’t political.  He’s Ryan Leaf in Orange and less interesting than the Wildcat offense.

Another clueless individual who knows nothing about Bill Maher.

What, that Jesus f***** Tebow? I f you believe this then you are stupid. Tebow also says that God doesn’t care about who wins or loses football games. but listening to that sissy Maher, you wouldn’t know this.

This went over your head numnuts. It is you who believes that the Christians in this country are the troublemakers who should be exiled. It is obvious in your bigoted posts. I was pointing out that if you reside in North Korea, you dont have to listen to all the Jesus talk. Dont worry, they get rid of all the believers there.

Maher only barely takes a swipe at Islam on the occasion and his words are carefully chosen. Maher doesn’t want people do think that he is a racist. A truly outspoken person doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

You sound like a militant atheist. You should stop trying to shove your beliefs down other people’s throats.

Tebow has never said this if you have ever heard any of his interviews but I somehow doubt you have. Tebow has said God doesn’t care about who wins and loses football games and this is a fact.

 Then he must be praying for rain. LOL

Really matt?  You figure I don’t know Maher? lol
Probably known him longer than you’ve been alive.  
He used to be funny – somewhere along the way he lost his mojo, and now he’s a shock jock with no credentials.  

let’s hope he is cause he bills himself as a “comic”.  Now people laugh at him, not with him.  

Didn’t realize that in your confusion you thought limbaugh could be compared to maher.  Limbaugh’s audience is about 100 times that of mahers  (as is his wallet).  

Maher keeps trying to become relevant and the harder he tries the more pathetic the reception to his efforts.  He’s done.  A retread is needed.  

Maher & I share the same religion, but Beckel is right, you don’t attack people’s religious symbols, period

what are praying for death gods speed .LOL

Do you still believe in the easter bunny and santa claus.No religion is based on fact therefore cannot be true.We don’t want you idiots teaching our kids, or anywhere close to a nuclear device.

Yes I do.

you really have a hard-on for North Korea don’t you scooby doo

Tebow builds orphanages in underdeveloped countries. I thought liberals supported that kind of thing. I guess not. Just keep hating him while he helps the less fortunate. It looks good on you.

Dunno. It seems like it’s the close minded, intolerant liberals Bill is playing to. I mean, they’re the only ones laughing. The liberal bigots of the new millenium all believe that they’re the “open minded” and “tolerant” folks. Reality is, most of today’s liberals are as closed minded and bigoted as the Klan. 

Don’t approve of the swearing but, I notice no one’s actually acknowledging the point Bill Maher’s making, which is that whenever a religious nutter like Tim Tebow wins a football match or somesuch, they often ‘thanks Jesus’, but whenever they lose, you’ll never, ever hear them ‘blame Jesus’. It’s a fair point to make, admit it, you can’t say he’s wrong!

Problem with your argument dear is that Limbaugh is suppose to be taken seriously but most of the stuff he says is hilarious. And as far as an audience goes. Limbaugh is on radio for free 15 hours a week. Maher is on HBO 1 hour a week and about 1/2 or 3/4 of a year and it’s not free. Apples and oranges.

Thank God Maher was able to show the real threat to people nd mankind ; Tebow praying is the real danger.

Unlike theses harmless acts:

011.12.27 (Yala, Thailand) – One person is killed when Muslim ‘insurgents’ bomb a group of teachers and their security.

2011.12.26 (Baghdad, Iraq) – Seven people are blown to bits by a Shahid suicide car bomber.

2011.12.25 (Mosul, Iraq) – Muslim snipers pick off a Christian just outside his home.

2011.12.25 (Talaqan, Afghanistan) – Two dozen mourners at a funeral are sent to Allah by a Fedayeen suicide bomber.

2011.12.25 (Madalla, Nigeria) – Religion of Peace bombers strike a Catholic church during a morning Christmas mass, slaughtering three dozen worshippers.

Yeah, Bill, thanks for showing us the real threat!

I love Bill Maher but he does goes to far on religion. Granted most of the right wing political Christian conservatives are hypocrits. Me being a Christian (not extreme) is the only thing that bothers me about Maher. Other than that he is hilarious. Even more than Rush Limbaugh.

Look at his stats, then look at the winning percentage of the teams they beat during their “run”.

Son, let’s look at “Rookie of the Year” candidate Cam Newton’s record:

6 wins- 9 losses- one win was over the hapless Colts

They are 3rd in their conference

Tebow:

7 wins – 2  losses

Broncos are 1st. in their conference

Exactly.

Maher is spot on about the religious right and their hypocritical views of what Jesus taught but he needs to do it in a different way that doesn’t offend most of us on the left that are believers.

In North Korea, they believe that Kim Il-Sung is STILL the president, even though he has been dead since 1994. They also believe that birds sang in Korean and a new star appeared in the sky when Kim Jong-Il was born. That’s not atheism. That’s theism. The leading family of that country removed all other gods so they could impose themselves as gods, lording over the people there. The gods in North Korea no longer govern from the sky; they govern directly here on earth.

And if you want to talk about poor human rights records, the God of the Old Testament has some serious explaining to do what with all the murder, slavery, rape, and subjugation of women going on.

Additionally, because you seem to want people to criticize Muslims if they’re going to criticize Christians (you complained on another thread that Bill Maher doesn’t criticize Muslims, even though he does, repeatedly [http://dailycaller.com/2011/04/09/maher-islam-the-religion-of-peace-and-if-you-disagree-well-f-ing-cut-your-head-off/]), I’ll offer a criticism of Islam while completely agreeing with Maher’s point. The prophet Mohammed married and engaged in sex with a girl who had not yet reached her teens. That’s pedophilia, it’s insane, and it’s currently being used in many Islamic countries to justify the forced marriages of young female children. Anyone who thinks that’s okay is very, very wrong.

And as far as someone being a sissy, anonymously calling someone names on the internet is pretty much the definition of the term.

Yes, because quarterbacks play games all by themselves, and the other 21 players on the field, roughly 60 other players on the sidelines, and coaches calling plays are completely irrelevant.

If a football team loses a game, you don’t blame the quarterback unless he didn’t make his throws.

And the Broncos are not first in the conference. They’re tied for first in their division. They’re tied for 6th in the conference with three other teams.

Beckel is the only liberal I can think of off hand that I can actually tolerate…for a short time anyways.

Saying Bill achieved anything with these comments is goofy. What Bill has done is attack someone based on their religious beliefs, which I think is about as anti-Liberal as you can get.

Christians, I guess, are easy targets for Bill. They won’t declare War on you, they won’t promise to cut off your head, and they won’t bar you from entering their Oil Rich Nations when vacationing at their ultra exclusive resorts on the Mediterranean Sea. Bill, you are a jealous coward.  

and what has that hate done for you champ? besides making you bitter and aged beyond your years. Who cares what other people believe as long as they are not forcing thier world view on you. Learn to enjoy life. It’s short.

God save us from liberals, whether on The Five or at Mediaite, in a hysterical panic.  Take a deep breath Bob and Frances.  Bill Maher is no respecter of religious belief.

hatred is always easy.  grow up. maybe someday you will find somthing that makes you happy and you won’t have to rely on hate for your entertainment.

He’s a despicable foul-mouthed jerk, more like shock-jock Stern. People like George Carlin, George Burns and Mitch Hedberg proved that you can be funny without resorting to foul language. I’ve already written to HBO telling them that I’ll never order it as long as Maher is on the air.

Freakin idiots!!. You’re just making Maher more popular. 

Going right for the unnecessary personal attack? Typical con.

Most vile liberals tend to align themselves with those who share their own immoral values.

You seem to have a problem with the Klan, almost to a point where one could accuse you of being close-minded and intolerant toward the Klan. It’s like you disagree so much with the Klan that if you were a comedian you might tell jokes to somehow put-down and minimize what they believe in.

I’m a pro-abortion atheist and just can’t understand the hate directed at Tebow. He seems like a decent kid. Why are so many lefties so threatened by the guy?

I’m just trying to help you man. Some years back I would
have been writing things similar to what you post now. As a recovering atheist,
now comfortable with my agnosticism, you learn over the years that your anger
towards god (or lack thereof) is the ultimate in quixotic endeavors.  I don’t care if Tebow believes that Jesus rode
a dinosaur. It makes him happy. The question is, why does that make you so
angry?

Sorry. I’m not vile. And not a conservative hypocrit either.

Agree. His satire is hilarious but he doesn’t need to use the language he uses. Spot on.

That’s just it, “Lefties” don’t hate him. “Lefties” was an association Fox News made to further their anti-Liberal propaganda.

I love agood joke even an irreverent one as much as the next guy. Maher how ever isnot funnaardvarks despicable little prick. Gutfelds description of him As a talking thumb with the face of an aardvark was funny and spot on

Spot on.  And Nietzschean just proves how so many on this site buy into the Fox News meme.

You’re reading way too much in my initial comment, applying way too many assumptions and prejudice into it, and trying to make it about me and my beliefs. Calm down, and take the initial comment at face value.

What is it about rightwingers that whenever they feel threatened by the likes of Maher they have to resort to gay innuendo?

ok bro. peace.

What would Jesus say???

Riiiiiight…

“Follow the money” is a big hit with the advertisers.

God is not offended by Bill Maher’s comment. The only ones offended by it are the Taliban-like Christians who think they are judge and jury in these matters. Maher is a child of God like all of us. He just happens to like to poke at and ridicule the religious. Kind of like the way Republican and quasi-conservatives always mock President Obama. Like the last three years of mockery just because his father was black. Shame on you “Christians” who mock and reject our President at every turn, yet can’t hear a joke about the blessed one (small case), Tim Tebow. You have missed the message of the Good Shepard.

Eric Bolling is a putz.

Not for nothin’, but Bill Maher has been around for years and he will be around long after this little confection “the five” is long gone. Bob Beckel must have to throw in with the righty clowns in order to keep his gig. The former press gal for Bush hasn’t an honest bone in her body. She disseminated lies for her war criminal boss and now has the nerve to criticize Obama for his every move. She could never work for Obama cuz she can’t handle the truth. We have HBO only for Bill Maher’s show. Granted, he does go off the edge on religion from time to time, but his show is very funny.

Lefties do hate him.  They hate everything Christian and Jewish.  If it is not Muslim they do not like it at all.  Lefties are very threatened by anyone who is congruent in their beliefs and life.  They are too authentic for them to look at.  They cower at the authentic.

Bill used to be funny – no longer.  He’s a sad fool who keeps saying outlandish things to get attention.  

As for “the former press gal” – a classy woman who doesn’t bad mouth Obama or anyone else.  

You’re a freaking idiot with your ‘war criminal boss’.  That just proves how dumb and uninformed you truly are.  

Done brian – you have nothing of substance or honesty to offer.  

Beckel is a mush-mouthed, spineless embarrassment to real liberals.

No. You blame Jesus.

Like conservatives?

Maher is hilarious and brilliant and his language is just as sharp as his tongue.

Get over your Victorian anal-retentive selves.

They’re always talking about stuff being shoved down their throats….

No he doesn’t. He could go a lot farther.

There is nothing sacred about believing in stuff.

Bill remains brilliant and cutting edge.

Witness you guys huffin and puffin in outrage.Case closed.

Once again, a righty-tighty is worried about things being “shoved down his throat.”

Nobody hates Tim Tebow.
Fox just says that to get you mad.

Keep on celebrating stupidity!

Yay, dumbness!

That may be the dumbest, silliest, most clueless and out-of-touch post I’ve ever read.

Bolling: real man? Hahahaha. No-neck troll is more like it.Beckel is just  the token liberal on Fox–spineless and disrespected.

Maher has brains, opinions, and humor.All the things the Five is missing.

Jesus said to pray secretly in your closet.
Matthew 6:6 
But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. You just called Jesus a coward.As usual, Christians have no clue about what they believe.

Read the Bible you ignorant fool!

hmmm ‘brilliant and cutting edge’, let me think – I think you’re thinking of the wrong bill.  

Maher never was brilliant – he was funny but that was years ago, and he’s as cutting edge as a used razor.  

Sorry Dude – but keep trying to convince yourself that he isn’t ‘desperately seeking attention’.  

you’re right,there’s nothing sacred in believing in stuff. But there is no integrity in making fun of people believing in stuff unless they are like the typical holier than though right-wing evengelicals.

2012! Can’t wait. LOL  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4IoUo_ZJkY

In a totally different subject and being totally serious please bring this issue up to your tea party groups or conservative groups regarding entitlements and amnesty to illegal immigrants. I am against illegal immigration and even more when they get medicare, social security, etc. It is called “The Cuban Adjustment Act” and both Democrats and Republicans are afraid to do anything about it because they don’t want to lose the Cuban/American vote in Miami which totally ticks me off! Congressman Rivera elected by the Fl Teaparty brought it up to be repealed but it got squashed by the Cubans before it even got off the ground.
http://southfloridaconservative.com/saving-the-cuban-adjustment-act-means-reforming-it-against-abuse

In a totally unrelated subject and totally serious please bring this issue up to your Tea Party Group or Conservative groups you belong to. It is not only granting amnesty to illegal immigrants but entitlements  as well. (medicare, soc.sec., etc). Paid in full by the American taxpayer. It is called “The Cuban Adjustment Act”. I am against illegal immigration to begin with but this really tops it. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are afraid to touch this because of the political ramifacations from the Cuban Exiles.The Congressman in this article tried to repeal it but it got squashed before it ever got off the ground. This is b.s.. http://southfloridaconservative.com/saving-the-cuban-adjustment-act-means-reforming-it-against-abuse

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Bravo, because I’ve heard a lot of stupid things on this forum. This even beats a Michelle Bachman supporter explaining that Bachman’s lack of intelligence makes her more of a regular person, thus qualifying her for the Office of the President.

Geez, Scoob, just look at this and tell me he’s being “politically correct” towards any religion… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I47s6fvRq84

But then again, you might not want to get any info, and keep thinking that Maher is “as you imagine him”…
