Maher slams O'Reilly, calls his handling of the Obama Super Bowl interview 'unpatriotic'
The Daily Caller ^ | February 9, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Pot meet kettle.

During all the Bush years, there were few harsher critics of the White House than HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher. Now, Maher is taking issue with Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly’s Super Bowl interview with President Barack Obama. On Tuesday night’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” on MSNBC, Maher attacked O’Reilly for his treatment of Obama.

“Well, actually he tried so hard. I mean, this man – I saw him with Bill O’Reilly as I’m sure a lot of people did in this country before the Super Bowl,” Maher said. “And all I could think of is – I would never be that way. I just do not have it in me to take that much, really, that much guff, shall we call it, since I’m not on HBO.”

Interrupt Obama in an interview, unpatriotic. Call for Dick Cheney's assassination, patriotic. Brilliant.

But according to Hillary, dissent is patriotic.

I've managed to avoid hearing most of the love fest, but did BOR
challenge BHO's assertion of not raising, but lowering taxes?

Didn't BHO sign a cigarette tax increase?

If Obama went on Bill Maher’s show, Bill would NEVER interrupt him...

...mostly because he finds it difficult to talk with a —— in his mouth.

Not a huge fan of BORT, but Maher is a hemorrhoid on the anus of mankind.

And Maher is a envious (wishes he made as much as O’reilly), little (5’?), ugly (very ugly), gay (we all know it) boy (very immature) who has a real hatred of himself.

And I don’t like O’Relly either.

Not interested in what Bill Maher has to say. No one listens to his nutso ranting and raving lunacy. However, Bill O’Reilly is a different story. He fawned all over America hater & destroyer, POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! IMHO, Mr. O’Reilly has jumped the shark and gone over to the dark side!!! Therefore he should be treated as the traitor he has opted to become. I can only suggest that FNC viewers abandon him and his show enmasse. That is exactly what I am doing!!!

He has had two interviews with Obama and has asked questions and brought up issues that noone else will with Obama. You can't expect everyone to be nasty like you.

I was disappointed too. After BOR asked Zero “What is the hardest thing about being president?” I thought he should have followed up with “If you were a tree what kind would you be?” or “Boxers or briefs?”

Me either but his ratings are the highest. Wonder if he has a bunch of liberal followers?

Personally, I enjoy seeing OweBama emasculated and slammed.

But professionally, O’Reilly was absolutely disgraceful. A decent human being could make the same points BO was making without coming across as a complete Jackwagon like he did.

Too bad O wasn’t asked about why he felt it was acceptable to ignore the Court’s conclusion that Obamacare was unconstitutional

Why O felt it was acceptable to send someone from his administration out to lie about the conclusion that it was illegal to stop offshore drilling.
