Bill Maher's closing thoughts on his HBO show 'Real Time':

[Chanman]

"You can't claim you're for peace unless you're willing to disturb it.

...You know who has peaceful, planned demonstrations? Totalitarian states with no civil liberties, like North Korea.... Therefore, tonight, I am urging all the protestors in New York next week to riot. ...Look, protestor: You spent 2 weeks making that paper mache Dick Cheney mask? Now, light it on fire, and torch the nearest Gap store. ...Pick up a garbage can and throw it through a Starbucks window."

I know he's funny. But you need to watch the whole show. Or you might think he said something wrong.

The man is a dope.

Watched his show in the past. It has nothing to do with his politics.

He tries to carry on some kind of sarcastic humor that works for some others, not for him. Don Rickles he's NOT.

Dennis Leary can pull that off, and even Miller IMO

IO I would guess then you won't be watching his show. By the way Chanman Did you see Mr Republican Joe Scarborough was hoping to see more flag burning and a few cars tipped over. I guess they all try to have a sense of humor.

Ppl talk about Wubya acting so smarmy. Thats my impression of Maher- a smug prick. Always wants the limelight@ someone elses expense. Remember he said the 9/11 Hi-jackers were not cowards, but the U.S. to fire misslies from so far away. Glad you like him so much.

 

[djv]

9/11 misslies what the hell you saying. Dont take these guys so seriuos. It's all about show biz and rateing. You laugh or change channels.
