GHScorpiosRule June 19, 2014 Share June 19, 2014 Bill makes the front page of the NY Daily News today (6/19): http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpVname=NY_dn&ref_pge=lst I'm sorry, but Bill did NOT call the 9/11 terrorists "brave." That was DineshAsswipeFuckingD'souza who did, and called them warriors as well. I remember because I watched his show after the attacks. What he did agree to and say was how the U.S. were all talk and lobbying missiles from x miles away or whatever. I guess he gets blamed for calling them brave because he didn't get angry at D'Souza for saying what he did. 2 Link to comment
film noire June 22, 2014 Share June 22, 2014 I guess he gets blamed for calling them brave because he didn't get angry at D'Souza for saying what he did. He called D'Souza on it years later on Real Time (D'Souza refused to own his comments, iirc). Link to comment

alias1 September 9, 2014 Share September 9, 2014 They really only talked about his special on DC on Friday and how he was taking a police escort from his regular show (a studio somewhere in DC) to the place where his standup special would be. He said he was nervous about not being able to prepare in between shows but i think he must have his standup pretty well rehearsed. I thought it was a very short interview. Link to comment

ganesh November 3, 2014 Share November 3, 2014 (edited) Again, what is a secular Muslim? If he focused on Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia, I would be with him on that. He cited Saudi Arabia on the show as an example of a place where women's rights are terribly unequal and lacking. She really just doesn't know what Bill is criticizing here. It's not like she's wrong about anything she's talking about, it that what she's talking about isn't what Bill was saying. It's about how you develop the rule of law. I have a hard time accepting that a society is free and democratic where these honor killings are still a thing. This is something endorsed by a sovereign state. I think it's somewhat ironic that she's married to a Jew because there's several countries where "her Islam" would throw her in jail. I've always thought there was a fundamental problem when someone identifies themselves based on a religion. I think what it really boils down to is do we really need religion? For some reason, people panic if you suggest we should get rid of it. Edited November 3, 2014 by ganesh 1 Link to comment

I hope he was just trying to stir up controversy. I'm in the camp that thinks Elizabeth Warren can't win and Hillary can. Rand Paul would be an absolute disaster. 1 Link to comment

ganesh January 24, 2015 Share January 24, 2015 I just watched the show. Bill was clearly delineating between the character in the movie and the one who wrote the book. I'm kind of over how everyone who served in the military is lionized as a hero. 2 Link to comment

ganesh January 15, 2016 Share January 15, 2016 Bill had some good zingers about the GOP debate last night on twitter. I wonder if any will make it to the monologue. My fave: Saying we need to rebuild the military is like saying county fairs need more fried food. 2 Link to comment
MyPeopleAreNordic January 18, 2016 Share January 18, 2016 (edited) There's a petition to get Obama to be a guest on Real Time on Bill's 60th birthday. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/16/bill-maher-obama-real-time-petition-60th-birthday Considering he donated a million dollars to Obama's presidential run and Obama seems ready to finally act like he has no darns to give about what conservatives think anymore, maybe it'll happen, even if by satellite.

Victor the Crab July 9, 2016 Share July 9, 2016 Waaaaah!!! What Bill shows here is he can't stand the fact that other people, like Jon and Stephen, have done a far better job at getting their points across, and being funnier to boot, than he ever could. The awards and acclaims they've received over the years is proof of that. 9 Link to comment
maraleia July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 The fact that Bill lives in a Hollywood bubble makes it hard for me to see his point. Living in and around NYC forces everyone to interact with the wider world and that's why Jon, John, Stephen, Samantha, Seth Meyers, Larry and even Trevor have a better sense of what's going on. His comments in that article are so tone-deaf it's laughable. 1 5 Link to comment

sum July 20, 2016 Share July 20, 2016 http://www.hbo.com/real-time-with-bill-maher/series-information/article/real-time-convention-specials.html Real Time Convention Specials ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ will make its Republican and Democratic convention specials – scheduled for July 20, 21, 27 and 28 – available to nonsubscribers by streaming them live on the ‘Real Time’ YouTube channel. In addition, the shows will be available on Maher’s Facebook page the day after they air on HBO. ‘Real Time’ expands its election coverage this month with special shows during the Republican and Democratic conventions. Four live half-hour editions will be presented from Los Angeles, reporting on the Republican convention on Wednesday, July 20 and Thursday, July 21, and the Democratic convention on Wednesday, July 27 and Thursday, July 28 at 11:00 p.m. (live ET/tape-delayed PT) each night. 2 Link to comment
ganesh July 26, 2016 Share July 26, 2016 On Face The Nation, Obama was asked why he doesn't say "radical islam". I thought it's relevant to mention since it was specifically brought up in the interview segment on the past RT. Basically, Obama said, "Because I have to deal with foreign leaders who are actually muslim and don't like a bunch of terrorist hijacking their religion, and I don't want to give IS any legitimacy." I agree with Bill about religion, but I fail to see why he doesn't grasp what seems like a straightforward concept to me. If anyone on the literal planet has to choose their words carefully it's the potus. 7 Link to comment

If anyone on the literal planet has to choose their words carefully it's the potus. He doesn't understand because he would have to admit that he was wrong. It's the same reason he doesn't understand medical science or feminism. Also this issue pushes Bill's buttons like a 2 year old on an office phone. He believes that religion is all bad and if you condemn extremists as perverting or misunderstanding the fundamental teachings of their professed faith you are in denial and the whackjobs are just being honest while the rest of the believers are in denial. He also believes that all religion is equally bad, but Muslms are especially bad, moderate Islam is a fantasy, and you have to say radical Islam all the time or you're soft on terror. There are all sorts of nuances here and Bill doesn't really do nuance well. Edited July 26, 2016 by wknt3 5 Link to comment
