THEY ARE ALL OBSOLETE. Get a flat screen with a VGA connection. Hook it up to the internet and produce your own TV watching. There are so many links for viewing shows, you get to watch when you want to, you get your life back and it's great. |

He is totally the opposite of what he pretends to be. His show "Politically Incorrect" was cleverly titled to make people think that he was doing battle with the forces of PCism, when in fact his whole schtick was a reinforcement of PCism by bringing on people who actually are PI to sneer at and ridicule before the sheeple. |
Borealis vox User ID: 158854 Canada 11/05/2007 01:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't write Maher's off just quite yet - Comedians believe in the right to make the public laugh like Christians/Muslims believe in their God... all the good ones do anyway. Maher's will still be making money when people are killing each other in the streets over a piece of bread. Such is the power of "entertainment". |

Quoting: PULL THE HANDLE 25Maher: "I hate those brown trout...." "And though I believe in the ineffable glory of God, and though I might have experienced the undeniable reality of the Deity, and though I may know the secrets of the ages, these do not fulfill the Love in my heart. But to Change and Be and Do and dissolve both the subject of my person and the object of my God into the fluency of Empirical Providence. The Way, the Truth, and the Life." |

But Maher has morphed so radically from a left-of-left liberal thinking comedian to this grumpy middle-aged near-sighted pundit...that he makes it easy to dislike (disapprove of) him! I just wonder if these are his true thoughts or is there another agenda going on!? |

Now, however, I refuse to watch it. If he wants to believe the official Conspiracy Theory put forth by the Government, that's one thing. But to call people nutcases who have certainly spent more time investigating it than he ever will -- that's just the lowest of low. And to suggest that they need medication for their views -- beyond low...contemptible.

Mark In NYC User ID: 309319 United States 11/06/2007 06:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bill Maher is still one of the brightest minds on TV today. Sorry guys - I don't like his position on the 9/11 stuff either. But I don't think he's a totally dishonest guy. Somehow he's been convinced that such a magnitude of a conspiracy required to pull off the 9/11 destruction of the WTC is beyond the ability of most governmental people to keep quiet about it or to even plan it. Frankly, he's right. If they've been intimidated into silence about it, then you can bet the threats that are being used are extremely serious. I cannot figure out how such a thing could happen, be concealed from the public for so long, and the real perpetrators not get caught somehow. Evil is powerful, I'll grant you. But normally good does eventually triumph over it. Oh, it may well take 50 years for the truth to come out, but in time, out it comes. History supports this also. The Nazi war crimes, the stashing of untold millions in swiss accounts and the swiss conveniently forgetting who the money/gold/jewels belonged to - and then being humiliated publicly by having to be forced to find the families of the people they'd stolen the money from and repay them. The repatriations paid by the German government for a whole generation to repay the cost of rebuilding much of Europe. The Nazi war criminals who did escape - and many did - were hunted down for a whole generation or two and most of them were either brought to justice or died in the process of being hunted down. Several spend their last twenty or thirty years of life in solitary confinement in prison cells somewhere in Europe - not that the punishment would ever fit their crimes but it was better than doing nothing... The list goes on. So if Maher has been labeling the conspiracy theories about 9/11 as "insane" it's because he believes that the chances of the US keeping such things hidden are between slim and none. What he's discounted or is not allowing for is that it may well take a long time for the whole truth to be known. People will protect themselves and deny their roles in it for the rest of their lives. But as the groups of men and women who actually are responsible get to the end of their days the truth will come out more and more. It may take another twenty years or so. And that assumes the planners of this were about 50 or a little beyond when they did it. Add twenty years to that, and then you'll have the time frame wherein you can logically expect some info to start to trickle out in the form of death bed confessions, or documents coming to the light that were hidden away in private safes and archives to insure they wouldn't be found in this lifetime. Many of my fellow GLP fans are younger than I am. You perhaps have not seen this cycle of life happen before. But I have seen it. Many times in my lifetime so far. What really happens? It's simple: People die. Safes are opened by greedy heirs, safe deposit boxes are drilled and the contents inventoried and made part of an estates list of assets. CD Roms and DVD disks are found and read and what they contain is suddenly made pubic. Not fast, but it happens. The reason for protecting themselves ends usually when the individual is nearing the end of his or her life. And upon reaching that time in life - they begin to react less to the threat of being found out and many feel that they want or need the absolution that a confession can give them. They want to go to their maker with a clean slate - which they procure by confessing their sins before leaving this world. If they don't confess, they are not around any longer to make sure the safe is locked, the safety deposit box is not opened, or the files are not seen by any third parties. Once they're no long a barrier to these things happening, they do happen. Often times the heirs who discover their fathers or uncles' involvement are bitter and disappointed and want nothing more than to expose the big secret so they can disassociate with the whole thing. Sometimes the heirs are motivated by shame. Sometimes it's hatred for their errant parent. Sometimes it's based on the fact that while dad was out running for high office, he totally neglected his family. But whatever the motivation, you can be sure there will be one or several and these people are not about to hide it any longer. They want the public to see what a piece of shit their ancestor really was and these heirs are often the very persons who make sure the files and the documents are sent to the press, the legal authorities, and anyone else they can think of, too. Maher is not stupid and I don't think he's just merely been bought. I think he really believes it could not have happened as a conspiracy. As more and more evidence comes out, he will change his tune. In the interim, watch as he begins to re-evaluate his stance and comes to a different conclusion as time rolls onward. Life really is a banquet - and truly - most poor sucker are starving! Enjoy the ride baby. |
