The Bill Maher Meltdown

expose the POS for what he is – a rhetorical bomb thrower, a one trick gelded pony.

has he beaten his current girlfriend lately?

beaten up any other young black women? he's a sick freak.

He's as intellectually stimulating as a deep-fried Twinkie at the state fair.

I live in L.A. (and yes, work in The Industry too). What you can always count on from the 5ft 7in mental midget known as Bill Maher is that it's a wonder he can breathe with his head so far up Hugh Hefner's colon (his formerly conjoined twin).

Maher's politics are really just Whorehouse Liberalism – but obviously beady-eyed Bill still has trouble finding women who think he's sexy on his own merits; whenever Clooney steps out with his latest model galpal, his gal doesn't take her eyes off Clooney. Whenever Maher walks out with a hot date, she can't keep her eyes off the paparazzi shooting her photo.

Global warming is a "settled science"?
Typical lib—pick and choose your scientific beliefs.

In addition—I don't think your nutritional program is working very well—you still look dead.

Maher, Baldwin, and Matthews…reminded me of the Three Stooges. Sigh….where's an earthquake when you need one?

Wonder if Matthews was thinking, "do I sound that ridiculous when I blather my liberalistic nonsense" (Clue for Mr Matthews: Yes).

What a moron. Young children with secondary bacterial infections or asthma as well a pregnant women are the two biggest groups at risk of swine flu mortality and this thoughtless ill-informed fool prattles on.

Maher is so typical of the pseudo-edgy narcissistic blather that liberals lap up. More pathetic is the audience that actually claps their hands for him, Whoopie "I know it wasn't rape-rape" and that smarmy Dirty Old Man, David Letterman. They are a category of Americans that I hold in contempt.

Yeah, he looks SO healthy- like a walking, talking jackass (though that may explain why he sounds like a flaming douche 97% of the time)!

The NYT think he's crazy! Enough said…

ha ha ha ha… and what the left doesn't realize is Maher is their version of Limbaugh… I know a couple of people that take him at his very word…

And just as likely to induce a stroke.

And Chris Mathews thinks that it's the third world countries REQUIRING Americans to get shots before entry. What a moron!

If advocating a healthy diet and questioning the profit motives of drug companies makes you "crazy," then put me in a straightjacket. Maher may not be right about every issue, but his advocacy for debate on this issue is well-founded. The drug companies are marketing fear in an effort to reap HUGE profits, where very few people would actually medically benefit from this vaccine. Remember SARS? Avian Bird Flu? Nothing shifts units and gets the people in line like a good health scare.

Sorry, I cant sit through 5+ minutes of Maher, Matthews and Baldwin.

Nice panel! 3 diehard liberals. I agree with Maher on the vaccination, but not on any other point he was trying make.

Global warming is settled science?!?!? Bill, Bill, Bill.

Glabal warming and swine flu are both hysterical reactions to unsubstantiated propaganda. Only the bed wetters and socialists back these things. If you catch any flew you should do 3 things.
1. Stay hydrated.
2. Control the fever with ibuprofine.
3. Take decongestents during the day and antihystamines at night to make sure your lungs don't fill with fluid.

Any "healthy" person who does this will not die. But people are stupid and easily panicked. Its all hysteria.

I busted when Maher said about H1N1 that 'this is not *settled* science, like global warming'. He's hilarious, I swear. actually had to tweet that.
If anyone's interested tho, I think I may actually dislike that has-been in the middle even more than Matthews. Why anyone cares what he has to say is just beyond me.

The hypocrisy of the left is so alive and well in Bill Maher. First off, I have never received a flu vaccine and I don't intend to this time. But that is my personal decision. I would never tell people as BM did on Twitter "people who get flu shots are idiots." Then in another interview he says we are stupid and need to be dragged to government-run healthcare. But then in his interview with Dr. Frist he says: "Why would you let them be the ones to stick a disease into your arm? I would never get a swine flu vaccine or any vaccine. I don’t trust the government, especially with my health." WTF? Then he says we should have debates on science, but then gives parameters on what we can debate. No debate on global warming or evolution. I happen to believe evolutuion is true, but what is wrong with debate? It doesn't change my position as I have not seen legitimate evidence to change my mind. On the other hand, there is so much evidence out there to discredit man-made global warming, I can't even see how one could continue to support it as a done deal. This man is psycho and dangerous.

newt or clinton

Well, so what. He may or may not be right on that issue, but that wasn't the main point of the discussion. That's an entirely different debate altogether. As far as the vaccinations go, it's hard to argue that he doesn't have a point, love him or hate him.

"Gorebal Bloviating" …….. That's a pretty funny one, by the way…..

Pick a Politician…any one will do…

hehehehehe

BM works on so many levels….

He already got his ass kicked by Ann Coulter in March. Maher's got nothing but jokes and piss-poor rhetoric.

Alec Baldwin pretending to be intently listening and eventually got bored with it. He has nothing to contribute but to look cute.

You might as well laugh. When idiots like Maher say anything, it's hard enough to keep a straight face….

You know, out in Nevada there's a place called Battle Mountain, and for their local high school or college or whatever, they have a big BM painted on the side of the mountain. Every time we drive through Nevada, we all snicker. It's juvenile, but we don't care. Who paints that on the side of a mountain?

Bill Maher sleeps with hookers and has lip herpies. Both of those statements are true. Bill admits to liking hookers and buying them and was photographed without make up on showing his nasty lips.

that seems contradictory to me, but I'm not as intellectual as Mr. Maher or his associates.

that what i was thinking- at the 3:45 mark he says, "It's not settled science like global warming…" but is challenging the value of vaccines? what an idiot, and not a particularly useful one at that…

Mahrer is a comedian in his own mind. An intellectual he is not. Spewing about HIS own bias may let LIBERALS not get the vaccine and thus get ill or die from the h1n1 virus.hmmmmm

It is settled. THERE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING.

"Chicken Littles" like Bill Maher are the main reason I cancelled HBO a couple of years ago. This "sky is falling" mentality is getting old & tired.

Bill Maher typifies Churchill's observation that "A fanatic is someone who can't change their mind and won't change the subject." And for Maher that subject is his own person and his amazing list of prejudices. Our local U.S. congressional representative, Marcy Kaptur, was on his show recently and sat there like a smiling piece of furniture while Maher, Garafalo and a couple of other like-minded dimwits went into their usual diatribes comparing conservatives, tea party attendees and Republicans to racists, killers and hate-mongers. Kaptur is a labor Democrat and in the pocket of the UAW but she couldn't work up even a mild comment about "civility" in public debate during this freak show. And she's a good representative of the Democratic leadership in the House.

I never thought I'd see myself type this but… I agree with Maher on this one.

I was NEVER one to give up my natural impulse to question, and seek alternatives simply because some guy in a white lab coat tells me I need something.

Not only do I NOT check my brains at the door of my church, I don't check them at the door of my doctor either.

One last thought… I had been suffering from sinus infections for the last few years, and every time I get them I would be prescribed antibiotics which made me feel lousy. last time I got an infection I was determined to find another cure. 5 minutes on the web led me to a netti pot. …The next day I bought one for six bucks, and with water and a little salt, my sinus infection was GONE.

No. Western medicine does not know everything.

Kudos, Maher.

As soon as he learns that Obama and his goons will MANDATE flu shots as part of Obama's government controlled health care, Maher will quickly fall in line and get his shot.

Do you mean the Obama government-controlled healthcare that he refuses to fight for? Mark my words, there ain't gonna be a public option. The Dems are too weak-kneed and corporate-owned to make it happen. We're going to get a watered-down bill that will make us all worse off in the long run. And that should be your (Republican) ticket to regaining control of the house and the senate, should you take advantage of their failures.

When a total a****** like Bill Maher can rise to celeberityhood, it only shows to the rest of
America and the world how pathetically shallow the Hollywood talent pool really is.

Ah, for the days of Dick Cavett and Mort Sahl…

Healthy diet doesn't stop you from getting the flu. What an idiot. Remember Mahr said the 911 terrorists were heroes.

I never thought I liked Bill Maher, and then he started to catch on about the lack of credibility our President has created for himself. While I disagree with his references to global warming I am fully supportive of the idea that you can help your body be healthy, and that there are things out there which can and should be vigorously debated instead of used as scare tactics.

Yes there is hypocrisy there. The whole intern business, that is not something that anyone on the Left should use as a badge of honor after the shameful way they defended Pres. Bill Clinton. But hey, if Bill Maher can get the WH to actually debate ANY issue in public, I can support him on that endeavor.

Um…there's no such thing as settled science. Science is always growing and changing. Even if a theory is – like evolution – "settled" in that most scientists agree that it accurately describes a phenomenon, there are still details to be learned. It's dangerous to think we understand any phenomenon well enough to call our understanding "settled." Say it's the best explanation available or it fits what we know or there's a high degree of probability or it's safe to proceed based on it. Don't say it's "settled. That sounds like "no more questions required, nothing to see here, folks, move along." And THAT sounds like somebody's hiding something…

He did not think that. Liberals – especially celebrity liberals – are notorious tone-deaf. They do NOT know how their statements sound to ordinary people. I don't think they care, either. But they never fail to be shocked when somebody tells them they sound ridiculous.

You both make good points. I think the millennialist rhetoric surrounding the global warming discussion has done the environmentalist cause more harm than good. If they would just stick to andrea's basic facts about pollution, oil, etc., they'd have a lot more credibility. But Gore and his followers appear to be trying to stampede us into a lot of measures that either won't do any good or that we can't afford – at least if done at the urgent pace these people insist on – all the name of "doing something."

I think liberals (no offense, andrea) tend to be charmed, motivated, excited by the idea of "mass movements." They want global warming to be a Cause, just like civil rights and the anti-war thing. Cautious, incremental change is not for them. So you get people like Gore rabble-rousing, reducing complex information to information that's just complex enough to flatter the audience's intellectual pretensions but still simple enough to turn into exciting slogans. I've heard all the info Gore has to offer. Now I'm interested in what he's leaving out.

Besides, I didn't think the climate was supposed to stay the same anyway.

How about this: I've been given vaccines all my life and as far as I know they haven't done me any harm. On the other hand, they seem to have kept me from getting diseases as intended. Therefore, I trust that a Swine Flu shot will probably not turn me into a zombie or anything. I realize it's possible that this particular type of flu shot might be completely unlike all the other vaccinations I've had before, or that the particular batch my injection comes from might be tainted, or that my shot might be part of a conspiracy by Big Pharma to make me sick so I'll have to buy more drugs from them. But based on past experience, I'd say the odds are that a Swine Flu shot will do me very little harm – and might actually keep me from getting Swine Flu. So if I have to trust myself or Bill Maher…I prefer to trust myself.

Bill Maher is not funny, hes stupid. I watch his show from time to time just to see him bitched slapped by his guest. I wonder who he is blowing to stay on TV?

Rows – he had John Bolton (former Bush Ambassador to the UN) on about one onth ago. It was/is worth viewing, as Bolton wouldn't back down and Maher looked like the gelding he is when dealing with a panelist with a brain.

Nope! The weather on Earth varies, THAT is a scientific fact.

questioning the profit motives of drug companies

Who pays your bills? Do you work pro bono? If druggists must forsake profit, shouldn't you?

Grow the *explitive* up!

Sarah, I'm pretty sure they get painters from people caught snickering at their sign. Be careful!

Bill Maher is just a know-it-all blowhard with the tongue of a viper.
Why do his words carry any weight at all ?

I used to watch Chris Matthews back when I was drinking Kool-Aid. I remember the time he went on vacation to Africa, I believe. Anyway, to a third world country. He contracted what they later said was malaria. He was very ill for a long time. Maybe that is what happened to Chris…

I think he was referring to Letterman….not a particularly elevating comparison. And besides, Mr. Maher, you are probably lying.
