Bill Maher on KO

[malaise]

discussing the health care bill. Dems do not need Rushican votes.

[Just Saying]

1. "Corporations and their incredible strength

are what have ruining this country so far." - Bill Maher

[malaise]

That was very good n/t

[chimpymustgo]

2. "They make it sound as though Stalin himself is going to put on the rubber glove for your proctology

exam." - the "socialized medicine" crowd.

Maher is right on: if not now, when?

[malaise]

5. He's right

I hope Obama was watching.

[MrSlayer]

3. Bill is dead on.

As he was on Real Time last friday. This is the time to ramrod real progressive legislation through. This is not the time to pussyfoot around. Fuck what the Republicans think, they're never going to agree with anything we need anyway.

[Just Saying]

4. Bill is great!

I don't always agree with him, but I admire that he puts it all out there. Not as easy as it seems!

6. Let's here what the Maher haters have to say.

Let me guess. A broken clock is right twice a day?

:popcorn:

Bill Maher - he BAD!

:sarcasm:

[LAGC]

9. Who hates Maher?

Perhaps those who have a problem with his outspoken disregard of religion?

[dem629]

12. It's the same group on both sides.

There's nothing more annoying than people shoving religious views at you, be they pro or con. Both sides on the loudest ends of the spectrum have the same problem.

[Baikonour]

13. Bill Maher is still an asshole, even if he is right sometimes.

His fetishizing of pieces of shit like PJ O'Rourke isn't exactly appealing.

7. Bush had media, lock-step GOP, think tanks letting him lead-badly. Obama has different style,

challenges. I know we hate the banks, but not so easy correcting the problem, without helping the bad guys. We are getting regulations introduced this week. If Maher were paying attention, he'd know that.

Meanwhile, we do have the opportunity to have health care reconciliation in House and Senate.

Wish Bill were less broad stroke.

[bigjohn16]

8. No! He hates the President and he loves Bush and he's a liar and he should STFU!

:sarcasm:

He was spot on again.

[Cleita]

10. Bill seems to have completely shed his Libertarian leanings.

I think he has become one of us smelly social Democrats looking for social justice.

[Loge23]

11. Just watched Real Time rerun

Maher's rant on Obama was terrific.
We voted for change and we still believe, but Obama has to get tough and quick.
If health care goes down, it will be a huge loss of momentum.
Screw the opposition. Maher got that right - Bush was a moron but he didn't give a shit about pissing his opponents off.
Obama goes out of his way to not piss off the right, but they're out to get him anyway!
