1. I find it hard to get excited about him any more since...

...he said he supports wiretapping

[laruemtt]

3. woe, i didn't know

he said that. yikes. do you have a link? i'd like to hear the context, not that that would get him off the hook....

[deadparrot]

5. He said it on Larry King recently. nt

[dogday]

4. Got some reference?

never heard this, but his show starts in two weeks, so it will be covered then. Doesn't sound like him....

[eaprez]

9. I Don't Agree - Sounds EXACTLY like him.....

...he's supported this president on many thing...mostly fear driven things...wire tapping being one of them. He said he supports it so they can keep us safe.

[dogday]

10. Wow I don't even see it that way

I guess it depends on what kind of glasses you are looking through... I don't see him that way at all....

[fooj]

12. Don't forget...

Bill has been thrown off the networks already. The fact that he was guest hosting on CNN makes a bit of a difference. I know that it shouldn't...but there are many weird things going on right now. I've seen the guy in person and he absolutely detests GWB. No question about it.

Peace.

2. Thanks for the heads up

I am listening now....

6. Yikes!! Did he really say that?!

That he supports wire tapping? :wtf:

[CatWoman]

7. yes he did

as a poster above observed, on the Larry King Show.

Maher guest hosted for Larry that night.

I heard it myself.

8. well, fuck me!

I love Bill, but that sucks...

Sorry , but I still think Bill rocks. Guess I just like people who say what they REALLY think...or maybe because they think for themselves and don't just accept one side wholesale. I do disagree with him on this issue, however.

11. Bill spoke his mind, and in the context of FISA and warrants,

I agree with him. The fact is, the President ought to have broad powers in order to fight terror-broad but not unlimited. It has to be within the rules.

[Cornus]

14. That's the problem

What * did was NOT within the rules.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

17. You're probably right. Honestly, I'm not sure. There's a lot of confusion

over exactly what Bush did, and what the law says. I say have hearings, and settle this once and for all.

[applegrove]

18. Yeah - I don't think Maher went into whether there should be no rules

to cover those wire taps. Was sort of a broad stroke.

[bliss_eternal]

15. I agree with you--

it won't be the first thing I disagree with Maher on. Sometimes he says things on his show that I dislike or disagree with, but I respect the fact he has the balls to say what he feels.

I like that he is pro-choice, but dislike the fact that he says shitty things about women sometimes.

Oh well... I guess no one is perfect.

[Raine]

16. I still like him too

sometimes I disagree with him but the majority of the time I agree and I got to hand to a guy who says what he thinks no matter the consequences. :thumbsup:

13. I too support wiretapping...

with a damn warrant. Are you sure Mahr didn't mean he supported wiretapping with just cause?
