[phantom power]

1. wow, Maher is batting 1000 lately

:applause:

[mrfrapp]

23. Absolutely

That was awesome.

[HopeHoops]

2. K&R

[fascisthunter]

3. Well Stated... Thanks Bill

[Bombtrack]

4. greatest talk show apearance I can remember seeing him do

and I always watch Bill do anything.

[FredStembottom]

5. Watch all the way to the end.

He really makes some unassailable points that I am not hearing anywhere else on TV.

[gibby2433]

6. Sooo happy his show is back Friday

He's absolutely right about the Left reclaiming Patriotism. In the hands of the Right (where it's been for decades), Patriotism has become something I shudder at now. It's a f*cking Toby Keith song. In the hands of the Right Patriotism has devolved into White Christian Gun-Owning Gay-Hating Feed the Rich greed and isolation.

Patriotism is joy at seeing EVERYONE being free to do what makes them happy and express their beliefs, without fear of being judged or maligned by others. Patriotism is the desire to live in a community, not just a country.

8. Wish we could K&R comments.

Or like ...yours is so so on ...started to say target.Getting a little self conscious. May good come from yet another violent tragedy in the US.Seeing some wonderful backing down from those who used to espouse the hate talk.

[Pat Riot]

14. Yep

I would have said "amen" but....

That money quote about Democrats reclaiming patriotism is the basis of my DU name.

Ditto "family values"

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. It's a fucking Toby Keith song.

:spray:

[chervilant]

44. Patriotism

is celebrating the diversity of our population, not fearing someone because they're gay or hating someone because their skin is a different color.

Patriotism is being politically active, AND voting.

Patriotism is a serious commitment of time and energy to the betterment of us all.

So few of us are truly patriotic...

[radiclib]

7. Fantastic

I always liked Maher, even when he was a self-styled "libertarian" and tried to tweak both sides.
Now it's clear what side he's on and he obviously doesn't give a crap what the audience or the host thinks. He couldn't be more spot-on. Kudos, and thanks for posting.:applause:

[ejpoeta]

39. whatever you think of his ideas, at least he is consistent. and unabashed about it.

if you believe it then believe it. i like bill maher and too am glad he is back on friday. though i don't have hbo so will have to wait until I can get it online.

[zeemike]

9. That is why the Right hates him so much.

He has the habit of exposing them.

[wisteria]

10. Bravo! n/t

[Thornleylv]

11. Very well made points, thanks bill.

Democrats were shot and killed, because democrats were the target.

[Plucketeer]

12. One of the voices of truth and sanity

He and John Daily.



GOP JOBS PLAN

[Mortos]

34. Do you mean Jon Stewart from the Daily Show?

[Plucketeer]

61. Yes!

Bit of a brain fart! LOL!



GOP JOBS PLAN

13. Great on Bill Maher's part, but what a lousy audience.

Leno really attracts a dud of a crowd.

[ellenfl]

15. sounds like jay has fans from both sides of the aisle. eom

[MessiahRp]

26. Yeah that audience was atrocious...

I'm guessing most of the Liberals are with Team Coco.

Rp

[defendandprotect]

36. Yep ... was wondering if the boring Leno just attracts boring audience ....

or whether they gimmicked the audience --

Bill Maher seemed surprise -- I was shocked at the lack of reaction!

[gtar100]

47. They were just in shock to hear those things on mainstream television.

It's just unheard of. I'm sure he more than pissed off a few people in that crowd and a handful of angry old white guys watching TV at home.

[defendandprotect]

57. Agree that's true... but don't think that could have been the reason....

the thoughts expressed by Bill Maher are main stream for anyone who actually thinks

so it should have been a spontaneous burst of acknowledgement of that!

IMO, it was either a gimmicked audience to hold down Bill Maher's reception -- and

that's certainly been done before -- OR ... he attracts boring audiences who think

about little other than Leno!

[glinda]

55. Leno's monologues are usually Republican in tone. So is his crowd.

[defendandprotect]

58. Thanks --

I find these shows boring as hell so I've never watched -- but did sense

that about Leno.

It's liberal night time shows that attract the audiences, imo -- !!


:)

[glinda]

62. His audiences have actually cheered for Republican things.

[defendandprotect]

63. Sad -- Wow !!

[Forkboy]

48. The crowd's reaction just makes it all that much cooler.

:)

[ellenfl]

16. woo hoo! bill's back on friday! eom

[sabra]

17. wow - that was amazing! Leno said a whole 5 words...

k & r

[romantico]

18. Is it me

Is it me or did Jay look extremely uncomfortable? It was like he was sorry he asked all his questions and could not wait til his time was up. Wish Bill would go on David Letterman's show. I think the two would get a long great!

[CatWoman]

19. Bill is my hero

:applause:

[Poboy]

20. Recommend.

[ooglymoogly]

21. Truth is the bottom line for Progressives and Maher hits the nail on the proverbial

every time and he does it with humor. Kr

[hulka38]

29. +1

That was great. Thanks for posting.

[naprapath]

22. Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin meets George Washington

[Swampguana]

24. That was awesome bill but

If he was in politics he would have been on palins target list

[Johnny2X2X]

25. Great Points

And I'm a pro gun rights (sane ones) Democrat. His points about left and right crazies is spot on.

[spicegal]

27. Go Bill. Love the way he tells it like it is.

[Ramulux]

28. That was a pretty awesome speech

He really got going towards the end there and made some points you never really see on shows like that.

[ErikJ]

30. Do you read?

Damn he is quick on the hecklers.

[ooglymoogly]

31. One of his great strengths....does not suffer fools, no matter what setting he is in.

The other cutting remark against the audience "but not with this crowd"

[FailureToCommunicate]

33. Not carrying assault rifles got a big applause, but not as big as

'getting troops out of pointless stalemates overseas' got!
Good job Bill!

[defendandprotect]

35. Great work by Bill Maher -- setting the record straight about the violent right wing ....

and the gun obsessed among us -- the NRA owning the Supreme Court --

by the way, how are the bribes paid and where are they hidden?

Is it just jobs for Scalia's 9 kids -- or what?

Are Democrats merely intimidated by the right wing and NRA on guns -- ?

Basically the NRA targeted our liberals and moderates and anyone who supported

gun control -- that happened long ago.

As for the long list of violent expressions calling for action by right wing

commentators, Bill was able to recite quite a few -- and there are many, many

more. Should be illegal to say the things these right wingers say -- and yet

it's not their violent rhetoric which gets attention and censored -- it's the

insanity over a woman's breast!!

[Monk06]

37. Funny Leno couldn't cut to commercial fast enough and Leno's audience are wankers.

[PatrynXX]

38. could almost run for Prez

Bleep yeah.

for which unlike sarah palin who's been given just obvious 2nd chances and she screws it up every time.. Bill says it as it is every time.

[defendandprotect]

59. That's my argument as we look for a "who can we trust" candidate ....

that's why I like the idea of going outside the party to find a candidate for 2012 ...

Bernie Sanders could run on a Dem ticket --

Tom Hayden could run on a Dem ticket -- and many more --

including Bill Maher -- he's liberal enough that he could rid us of the many right wing

programs which are smothering the nation in crime -- Drug War for one -- unregulated

capitalism and its crimes for another!!

There was a time when he seemed to be trying fence sitting for a while -- and I really

disliked him in that period -- but think he's seen that he doesn't want to lie for a living?

[big lu]

40. K&R

[Lifelong Protester]

41. That was phenomenal and I thank you for posting

as I don't get hbo so I have to catch youtube videos here and occasionally if I travel.

I will be at a place that gets HBO on Friday. About what time (I'm central) is he on??

[pam4water]

42. I love when he take on the audience! K&R I watched Bill on Anderson Cooper 360 for about a

minute. It got so stupid I had to turn it off. Even Bill can't save that show.

[jimlup]

43. Love Bill, hate Jay

[GreenTea]

46. You got it right!!

Looking forward to Maher's HBO show (Real Time) Friday night.

[thelordofhell]

45. Bill went into the lion's nest and told them off

Everyone knows that The Tonight Show is a right leaning show.

[bluestateboomer]

49. Not afraid to tell the audience they're morons

BTW it's not Morans, Morons!
Go Bill!! :patriot:

[underpants]

64. "do you read?"

Bill has dealt with enough hecklers to know how to deal with hecklers

[underpants]

50. .

kick for watch tonight

thanks

[Smarmie Doofus]

51. That's the best rant I've ever seen.

"Really? Do you *read*?

[dotymed]

52. Jay Leno

is a strong GOP supporter. I was glad to see him listen to Bill and give him an uninterrupted forum.

[Overseas]

53. K&R ! //nt

[progressoid]

54. Not exactly a comedy bit.

Wonder how long Bill will have to sit on the sidelines before Leno asks him back.

Loved the uneasy silences from the audience.

K/R

[glinda]

56. Sometimes he lacks clarity but this time he totally nailed it. Good job Bill!

[mzmolly]

60. He nails it.

:toast: to the good man!
