If you had any questions about how antiwar liberals were going to respond when the Democrats didn't withdraw American troops from Iraq like they promised during the 2006 campaign, you got your answers last night on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher."

When the host moved the discussion to what the panel thought of "the Democrats, you know, caving in on this Iraq spending bill," actor Ben Affleck went on a tirade about these "f***ing people," saying that the "Democrats live in fear of basically, you know, being called cowards" and of "looking like p***ies."

Affleck concluded his attack on his Party by marvelously saying, "And they wonder why people call them f***ing weak"

Was he sober when said all of these things?

[Grimmy]

Kinda makes sense now dont it? I mean the part where, for most of human history, actors and performers were held to lesser social acceptance than whores and thieves.

Thanks for your work locating this. I will try to shorten this and focus on the salient points:

Hello, my name is Cindi blah blah blah.
Yours truly, blah blah blah.

I know, I out-do myself sometimes, but it has to be done.

You left out some of the more subtle points:

“Hugo is so sexy,I adore marxism,I wish Fidel wasnt so old,Roaul is still hot in a Che kind of way...”

So many 4 letter words, so little time, LOL! :-)

And all appropriate, how cool is that?

[Wheee The People]

[pillut48]

"Eternally grieving "Self-Centered, Easily Manipulated, Opportunistic mother of war hero Casey Sheehan"

There, fixed it.

[Valin]

Wow I like the way he uses the language....makes him soooo sophisticated.

[Bush gal in LA]

This idiot thinks the more you drop the F-bomb the smarter and cooler you are. I guess he takes his cues from this guy John (effin) Kerry aka Lurch!

[Lancey Howard]

Affleck? Didn’t he used to “star” in box office bombs?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Who cares?

[Darkwolf377]

"Actor/Activist"

Translation: An actor whose movies bomb so he has to get morning emails from the DNC so he has an excuse to still be in the public eye.

Affleck takes the accepted wisdom about every issue and shouts it on shows like this, and then looks around to see if everyone's applauding. He seems to be thinking "Come on, guys, I'm SMART, applaud me!"

Ben wasnt let on that the Dems had the Amnesty bill in their back pockets when they signed Iraq war funding.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

He’s certainly quacking like a duck!!!!!

[Anti-Bubba182]

Affleck was once taken as a reasoned voice among young Democrats. I Guess that is going the way of his career.
