From "Freeper" to "Neocon."

It sounds like he is starting to support the Iraq invasion.

13. I'm watching, too
It sounds like he supports the idea of invading Iraq, because the Iraqis were mad at us for not intervening enough, rather than too little.

I heard it with my own two ears.

B-)

5. Maher thinks that we can't start at
I hate GW*, and then slam all of his policies.

Maher doesn't like *, but he thinks that he is doing some things right.


He also says that we have to hate his policies for what they are doing, instead of just hating his ideas cause they are *'s.

30. I hate Bush BECAUSE of his policies
Before he was put in a position to fuck this country over absolutely, he was just another drunk, drug-abusing numskull I didn't really think much about. It's been his policies since he took the nation's highest office that have caused me to hate him right down to the cellular level.

I don't see how you can separate Bush and his policies. They are shit.

7. Tonight's show sucks
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 11:44 PM by Julius Civitatus
Beltzer is the lonely liberal in the panel, with Maher defending neocon positions and praising Bush. Also in the panel a neon-con pro-conservative muslim lesbian, and one of the despicable contributors to the Drudge Report, that asshole Breitbart.

Nice going, Maher. And f*ck you!

26. Very disappointing
Edited on Sat Mar-12-05 12:12 AM by Julius Civitatus
I expected a bit more from Maher. Tonight's show was a Bush love-fest, with that annoying self-described "Canadian muslim lesbian" condescending on all liberals and insulting Belzer on his face.

One less liberal show on TV. Those in the west coast beware: It sucked @ss.

The entire show was a Bush love-fest, with Belzer in the minority.

Then he invited that despicable Camile Paglia to spew more of her old shit.

But the ABSOLUTE WORST in the show was Bill Maher's disgusting, despicable, utterly uninformed joke on the shooting of Giulianna Sgrina. He basically blamed her for "speeding through US checkpoints."

I could have thrown the TV out the window, I swear.

14. no shit
I can't believe he is pushing that Saddam would have killed that many in 2 years bullshit. Saddam was a piece of shit, but his heyday was in the 80s and in 1991 crushing the rebellion that Bush Sr called up... Honestly it appears as if Real Time has jumped the shark. Nice that poor Belzer is the only person to rail against Irshad Manji and whoever the fuck that hack is they got to fill in for Joe Scarborough.... (no disrespect to Belzer who I love). When will Juan Cole make the lineup for Real Time. I'd love to see him rip into Irshad Manji.

15. I totally agree
Well- almost. Not a neocon, but he IS inching closer & closer to the right. What I hear him saying is bascially that Bush is a visionary but that none of us saw it.

He says we shouldnt start every sentence with I hate Bush because its not 2003, its 2005 & he's accomplished some stuff.


WTF?

38. It Was A Promising Show Too.
Barney Frank Rocked and things were looking good then, WHAMO. Someone turned the cool-aid spigot on and it didn't end until the show was over. I know it might be a little overkill to say about a comedy/news program, but it was surreal.

28. Maher Has A Tendency To Be A Band Wagon Jumper
Since Bush "won" re-election, Maher doesn't want to be seen on the losing side, so he's jumped over to the winning team. Being a Liberal in America today means being on the margins in the eyes of the "mainstream conventional wisdom".

Maher is the guy who started wearing N.E. Patriots T-shirts and hats two years ago.

33. I agree, Yavin4
He's more of a show-business type than a political type. He'll go with whatever gets him the highest ratings.

31. he's a libertarian, not a liberal

it's still better than most of what you find on television

32. Maher pulled a Dennis Miller
Look at what Miller going over to the dark side did for his show on HBO. Now all hecan get are reichwingnut gigs.

Maher lost me for the rest of this season.
