Bill Maher just donated $1,000,000 dollars to Mr. Obama to help him get reelected. Mr. Maher said Rush Limbaugh is an "as-hole" and "a stupid fat f--k." He also has this to say: I guess it's only funny when he says it. Mr. Obama: How can you accept this contribution with a good conscious, or tell the American public you give a rat's ass about respect and decency? | ||

I would be happy to go to jail and be locked in same cell with him. | ||

Regardless of his political leanings, that guy (Maher) is a class "A" douchebag. He is unsavory and a cretin. He is in need of a serious taunting. | ||

Bill Burton: "Bill Maher? It's OK, he's a comedian." Emphasis mine. -- FB

Unbelievable. And if anyone thinks Rush Limbaugh is the "leader of the republican party", they have been drinking way too much of their own liberal cool aide. | ||

This really chaps my hide. Not the hypocrisy of the progressives, but the superpac part. Contributions to a candidate are supposed to be limited to help prevent corruption in government. No limits on superpacs though, but superpacs are supposed to be about issues and not specific candidates. So despite these rules we have unlimited donations going to a superpac that is openly supporting Obama. There isn't even feigning any denial of this blatant corruption of the current campaign finance laws. They can do so with full confidence that the DOJ will never go after them as long as they are successful in subverting the rule of law. I've become fairly convinced in recent years that progressives do in fact hate the entire Constitution, not just select parts of it. I expect the corruption in the 2012 election to reach levels of corruption not seen in US history. | ||

Bill Maher = jackwagon. | ||

He's the Rosie O'Donnell of HBO. He's stepping up his game. Evidently he didn't watch Olbermann. | ||

It's interesting (but not surprising) to me that "Game Change" was produced by HBO (and, sadly, Tom Hanks). Clever timing, releasing the movie in the run-up to the upcoming election. Are they trying to smear Sarah Palin "in advance," just in case she gets another VP nod? Mr. Obama is certainly calling in all his markers on this election... | ||

It goes a little deeper than convenient coincidence here. HBO is owned by Viacom. Viacom is controlled by National Amusements. National Amusements was in the top 10 of donors for 2008. National Amusements is in the top 15 of donors for 2012. National Amusements also cas controlling interest of CBS.

Mr. Maher, in his typical vulgar, left-sided style, is now taking on Rick Santorum and the fact his kids are home-schooled:

Satan and Maher agree. Not a surprise. | ||
| Oldog |
Why the indignity? Bill Maher is an Irrelevant prick who thinks he's funny. so Who Cares, These folks are sooooo full of them selves ( and the right has their own too ) In the hot sun of reason BOTH sugar and $hit draw flies.... Who needs Tom Hanks to help decide issues, If america were smart they would turn off the tube and do some reading.. | ||
| Fb1 |
so Who Cares Oldog, I think you know this, but I started this thread to point out the hypocrisy of the Left. They're milking Rush Limbaugh for all he's worth, yet not only condone Bill Maher's vileness, but gladly accepted $1,000,000 from him. Where's the public outcry from the left over Mr. Maher's brutal, cruel vulgarity? All I hear is crickets... If america were smart they would turn off the tube and do some reading.. America is, by and large, a reflection of the mainstream media. Most folks, I suspect, formulate their national and worldwide opinions and views based on what they see on the TV and read in the newspaper. That's all well and good until you start following the money. WHO owns the TV channel you're watching, or newspaper you're reading, and what is their agenda? The media in this country is EVERYTHING. Spin: Deciding what is "news," and then packaging this "news" to achieved the desired result. America - many of us, anyway - is the byproduct of several generations of depending on the boob tube to dictate who we are and what we believe in. It's a subtle form of hypnosis, when you get right down to it. That's what makes the internet such a tasty target to the left. A person, so inclined, can actually guide their search for news on the internet, instead of just taking whatever pablum is presented to you on the TV or newspaper each day. The recent attack on the internet via SOPA and PIPA wasn't really about stopping online piracy, was it? Our government would LOVE to have the same control over the content on the 'net as they do over what you see on TV (think FCC) and newspapers (think massive money and political favors). Bill Maher? He's a jerk, and I don't give a rat's ass about his vicious, vile ways. But ya gotta wonder: Why is Rush Limbaugh, an admitted ultra-conservative, being attacked with such vigor and venom by the MSM, and Bill Maher, an admitted ultra-liberal (and now major Obama PAC contributor), getting a free pass? ("It's funny when he says it!") The answer is pretty obvious. And hence, the reason for this thread. Best, FB | ||

The idea that home schooling in inferior to public schools is a joke. I was at a friends house Saturday for the evening, and they had a guest staying the night. She was a poli-sci major who currently works evaluating the effectiveness of school programs. She had terrible things to say about the Chicago Public School system she is currently working for. Early in the evening the doorbell rang. It was a father and daughter doing some political campaigning. Turns out the girl was a home schooled 15 year old that knows another friends kids where are in the same home school system. We all had some very interesting conversation on the front porch enjoying an unseasonably warm March evening. The home schooler had no problems entering right into the conversation with the poli-sci major regarding our political system and our Constitution. Having had similar conversations with a couple of other home schoolers I really wasn't surprised at all. Some seem to think that home schooling is a mom staying home and teaching her kids in the kitchen. That's not how it works. It's far more organized with specialized teachers for various subjects just like the government system, except the get good results. | ||
| Fb1 |
I've known many home-schooled kids over the years, including my own. They all, without exception, rock. Public schools would be far better off if big government stepped aside and let them do their job. That same philosophy applies to the entire country, actually: Get out of our way and let us do our jobs. We do it FAR better than you do. If Mr. Obama gets reelected, I wonder where Mr. Maher will fit in? Ambassador? Cabinet post? SuperPAC manager? | ||

This is why school vouchers are so dangerous to the NEA establishment. Average per child cost is $7500-$15,000. A voucher of a fraction of that amount would provide each child more than enough to pool resources with other families and direct hire teachers. No school, no education board, no teacher's union. 10 kids at $10,000 per will buy one hell of a teacher. PS. That is how education was done before public schools. | ||

Maher is as I said NOT RELEVANT, We know the press Leans left far enough to drag an elbow. So this does not surprise me The only thing that does is his willingness to provide money to BHO for reelection (Bottom Feeders Unite!). My small experience with home school children indicates that they seem to be more settled and focused, then again they are usually with families that have strong convictions related to their faith and the school environments are not acceptable to them. We have removed G_D from School and Public Soon We will be removed from his surroundings... The vulgar attacks I presume he made On S.Palin or M.Bachman Are typical of that type of Curr, If I dont watch it and dont spend with the sponsors then it will go away thanks for the effort though I don't want to sound like I am trivializing it as I am not The lefties dont like Bill Oreiley, or Dennis Miller, Both are entertaining to a point ( B O is full of him self too. )  BTW both Palin / Bachman Can Be Called by the C words Charming... Competent Cordual Centered Carismatic Christian Correct ( RE Obammer )  (Message edited by oldog on March 12, 2012) |
