Lya, He may be a pompous blowhard, but he’s OUR pompous blowhard (with apologies to all the American officials who have used this argument to defend dictators and creeps around the world).
Also, he’s very smart, and we need smart in the media.
Why he has some of the idiots on he does – that is a major mystery, which will only be revealed on the day of judgment. Oh, wait . . .

I use to like watching Bill he was quite entertaining to me at the time. Sorry Catherine but I do not think the man is very smart anymore, nor do I find him entertainiing. As far as the idiots he has on, he could be the biggest one. He is a dangerous, blathering, and not least of all pompous.
Catherine the man is anti vaccine and to me that is stupid. He did a show with Larry King and below is a little of that.
King: “Polio was eliminated.”
Maher: ” Yes, but, you know, there are many books out there that will, that will and I AM NOT WELL ENOUGH VERSED ON IT TO TALK ABOUT IT, that will indicate that there are other reasons why.
And a lot of diseases that have been they say, whoa, this was eliminated because of a vaccine, they find out well no actually the country got toilets and that’s what happened.”
Also he believes that if people recieve the flu vaccine for more than five years in a row they are ten times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. He claimed this with no supporting evidence, no peer reviewed articles, and pulled a number out of his ass.
Getting toilets and sewers may have helped get rid of some diseases like dysentery, but I doubt that those two things would rid the world of polio. The man is an ass and needs to be taken to task because I do not want him reprsenting me or anything I advocate.Religious fundys on the right may be antiscience, but so too are some jackasses.

I don’t deny that I agree with him some of the time. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He’s smarter than your average talk show host, but by no means very impressive, imo. Which is why I posted this. These things surprised me about him. but I agree with PC – he is in no way representative of myself or my beliefs.
As for being “ours” – in what sense? Atheist? Non-Neo-Con?

“Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”
I like that, did you think of it or hear it somewhere?

Yes.
As for the anti-vaccine, are you sure, PC? I thought the vaccine thing was the viewpoint by one of the Kennedys.
As for pompous, it kind of goes with the territory, doesn’t it?
And a fair number of his guests are not likely to be seen on other talk shows, so it’s a question of putting up with the idiots (which, I admit, I often can’t do).

I can’t stand Bill Maher any more, but I like some of what he has to say. He really seems to dumb down his commentary.
However, I did get one of those “Oh yeah…” moments reading that snippet of interview above. There *was* a time back in the day when all the news shows were complaining about only having a 30 minute broadcast and how that wasn’t nearly enough to cover all the news. Today we’re lucky to get 2 minutes of talking head between all the other “features” of the newscast-o’tainment. Coupled with propganda videos put out by government and industry and the fact that journalists don’t question either and you’ve got a nice bubbly broth for making fascism.
What we need is *NEWS* in this country. Real hard-hitting journalism. It’s sad that the news is entertainment and the entertainment shows like The Daily Show and Bill Maher are giving us the news.
They all say they’re entertainment including Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh and of course Jon Stewart. But people associate them with “news” these days. Now Jon Stewart would just assume be an entertainment show, but the right-wing media puts on the fascade of news while admitting to anyone who asks that they are simply entertainment. Then there’s Stephen Colbert…

Is the Kennedy you mean Robert F. Junior? He has jumped on the ‘Autism is mercury poisoning’ bandwagon, a different face of the anti vaccine movement. Bill Maher seems to be pretty much denying the germ theory, which when said outright like that should give an idea of how inane he is being.
The broken clock thing is an old saying, btw, but I don’t know where it originated.

Stayed quiet long enough – Bill rules and anyone that thinks otherwise is a moron.
YOU do better.

I used to make it a ritual to watch “Politically Incorrect” every weeknight on ABC- and before on cable. Back then, he was sharp and caustic and usually dead on. I remember in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 how he got into trouble with his sponsors and the network for saying I’m paraphrasing “that it took no courage to sit and fire a cruise missile at a target 2000 miles away and that, despicable as it was, the men that flew planes into a building at over 300 miles an hour were not cowards- crazy, stupid, reprehensible- but not cowards.”
I was pretty vocal in my support for him and pretty pissed at ABC for 86ing him. That said, lately he seems to have gone the way of Dennis Miller, at least partially, turning into a reactionary quasiconservative. His material has gotten stale, hell, even that remark about a Maher candidacy- the religion bad, drugs good thing is just the first part of a bit he used to do on ABC. It was real funny then.

Actually, Maher isn’t REALLY an atheist. If I recall correctly, he’s against Religions…the Bible etc. but has, on more than one occasion, said he believes in some God. Not the typical notions! I’m guessing that his belief might be closer to a form of Deism…?
I also remember him commenting that he’s a Libertarian, politically.
I do happen to enjoy, for the most part, his HBO series;…let’s face it; there are so few available programs which even ATTEMPT to show any guts about the prevailing issues; especially from a more left-leaning Liberal point of view.
As to being a ‘pompous blowhard’…well,…that does seem to come, somewhat more easily, to those frequenting the Top Dog ‘Limelight Territory’!

“I like that, did you think of it or hear it somewhere?”
That’s an old saying. I got it from my grandfather.

“Stayed quiet long enough – Bill rules and anyone that thinks otherwise is a moron.

Thanks for wasting everyone’s time, Tim!

Apparently yes, but how many atheists use that label just to avoid being labeled ‘atheist’?
“I also remember him commenting that he’s a Libertarian, politically.
”
That’s what the first part of the article is about.
I agree with rain – he was funny back in the day, but since getting fired, he’s become to cautious and too safe. Blah.

How can anyone compare Bill Maher, who is really quite sharp, with Dennis Miller, who IS A FAN OF GEORGE CHIMP BUSH’ POLICIES?
