I love Maher - and I think a lot of people will agree with this one - the video has Maher, Oreilly and Limbaugh.


Real Time: The Hard Core Republican Base Is Like A Stalker-Rejection Just Makes Them Crazier
By Heather Saturday Nov 08, 2008 3:02pm

From Real Time Nov. 7, 2008. New Rules.

And finally New Rule, now that you've lost Republicans have to agree not to waste everyone's time spending the next four years screaming for investigations of Barack Obama over made up bulls#*t. Let's not kid ourselves. The hard core Republican base is like a stalker. Rejection just makes them crazier. You think Matt Drudge was a vindictive p#%ck before. His headline Wednesday morning was Senior Citizen and Woman Beaten By Black Man. [...] And wait till you see Ann Coulter's new book How to Field Dress a Liberal.

You know there's loyal opposition and then there's just opposition. Let's not do the 90's again except for the part where we have peace and prosperity. You know there was an entire industry back then dedicated to making Bill Clinton's life miserable over expensive hair cuts and old land deals and the Lincoln Bedroom and getting blown. But this ain't the 90's.

We've got two wars, a melting planet and the only thing keeping the economy from total collapse is Sarah Palin's shopping sprees. But you know what phrase I don't want to hear used frivolously for the next four years whenever Barack Obama forgets to put the kids in the car seat? Disrespect for the rule of law. Dick Cheney ordered prisoners tortured by name. That ship has sailed.

I don't want to hear Sean Hannity say that "Barack Obama announced that his daughters will be getting a puppy. A puppy from where? Probably a chiuhaua that came in from Mexico illegally. And how do we know this isn't a dog that pals around with terriers?

You know when Obama starts a preemptive war and then f%#ks it up and makes torture our official policy and outs a CIA agent and purges US Attorneys and tries to put his cleaning lady on the Supreme Court and doesn't act on global warming and appoints at the head of FEMA an ex-d*#do salesman who was his college roommate, you know, that kind of stuff, believe me I'll be with you.

But until then I don't want to see Republicans freaking out if Obama isn't singing the National Anthem loud enough or they find out he gets his suit's made in France. If he puts a moon roof in the Presidential limo, he's not making himself Feurer. He's just trying to get the smell of stupidity out of the seats. And mostly I don't want to hear about ACORN. Your guy lost by eight million votes. Just because you don't know any black people doesn't mean they don't exist.

So that's it. No Special Prosecutors. No trumped up investigations. If Republicans who really want to look into something for the next four years, my suggestion, try a mirror.

I find Bill Maher to be a particularly arrogant ,sour puss, self consumed , half *** opinion spewing individual with all of the social graces of an axe murderer.That....coupled with his self indulged snicker during and at the close of his intended punch lines, that causes me to frantically search for the remote, make it difficult for me to imagine why so many find him ammusing. But then hey.... to each his own.

Did you want to address the topic or just let us know you do not like Bill Maher in as many words as possible.

Bill is Right, furthermore The GOP would have done far better in this election, had they spoken intelligently about the issues instead of going off on mindless rants about things that do not matter much.

I don't think they have any issues they can win on any more. The republican party is breaking down into component factions. These factions have never really agreed with each other. Hopefully, they will limit finger pointing to each other until they go through the molting process and decide what they stand for. And what they stand for must be something they can actually demonstrate - rather than give lip service to.

If all they stand for is hysteria and whining, they can count on being out of power for a while.

So you actually would expect members to disect and discuss the detaied content of the political rantings of a third rate comic? Sorry ..I'll pass.

Ironic that I would be called out for displaying my disdain for Bill Maher when the foundation of this thread is yet another seemingly never ending..............well.."mindless rant" that I suppose is intended to remind us all of the irrational behavior of Republicans verses the insightful,professional,and always issue specific concerns of the Democrats.

Don't blame me....I'm a libertarian.

And from what I've read, don't exhibit this party pep rally mentality.You're OK by me.

I am not an ideologue, and as such, come under frequent fire from my own. Lew Rockwell and I do not get along no matter how much Yvonne Kelly tries to make us play nicely.

You cannot 'govern' from a book of theory. Regardless of the rhetoric and hyperbole coming from the uber-anarchist, once one takes an oath of affirmation to either become a candidate or to serve in office, the law and the constitution take precedent over one's personal beliefs.

While I may desire expanded liberty and reduced government, you can't get there outside of the law.
Don't you wish the repubs and dems took their oaths as seriously?

Maher is a Green - he skewers the dem as much as the repubs. If you'd looked into his show and his history, you would know that. He skewers whoever is in power and whoever screws up.

BTW - bye - and don't let the door hit you on the pass.
