On Friday’s “New Rules” segment, Bill Maher informed Republicans that it’s time to stop calling the “Occupy Wall Street” protesters “hippies”. “Woodstock was 42 years ago,” he says. Maher visited Occupy DC and says that contrary to what some people might expect, no one offered him “a single marijuana cigarette”, which he found a little disappointing, actually.

10. "Thomas Friedman is a Big Flat Idiot!" K&R I've been waiting for Al Franken to write that book but

5. I usually don't care much for Maher and just last week or so he was mocking OWS

but this time - I have to say I throughly enjoyed what he had to say

13. That was before one of his guests (don't remember his name) mopped the floor

with a RW-er Mayer likes to bring on his show, about OWS ... and the crowd went completely berserk,
rose to their feet with thundering applause .... I guess Bill Mayer cares about his ratings too.

14. That would be Alan Grayson, smashing P.J. O'Rourke, to a standing O.

[99th_Monkey]

15. Yes - that was them ... so delicious to experience how Grayson schooled PJO, albeit via video. -nt

6. Right on the mark.

Thanks Bill!

7. That was perfect!

8. Guys like Mahr

Are good at reading the zeitgeist, they will bend with it and don't really hold any strong principles. I agree with him on general social and most political issues but that's about as deep as it goes.

[Merlot]

11. If you think Maher doesn't hold any strong principles you haven't been watching!

[MedicalAdmin]

16. It's a good thing that you caught him out in that. He almost fooled us.

I mean there he was asking questions, pointing out hypocrisy, and blowing all over the place on everything except social and political issues.

Whew. That was a close one. Thank god you caught that.

9. Do the old white guys that write the Republicans talking

points not realize that there are about 100M Americans who have no idea what a hippie was or why.
Hell probably half of this countries population was born after or immigrated after the Civil Rights movemen and haven't a clue why ti was such a big deal.

Want proof? Think Herman Cain, or Clarence Thomas both of whom suffer from total amnesia about their own educational and professional opportunities.

[Enthusiast]

12. That's alright. The old white guys are

getting across the idea that hippies were a negative -dirty, irresponsible and wrong about everything. This country has become immersed in a sea of ignorance that is cheerfully encouraged 24/7.
