"When we see crazy, senseless deaths like this, we can only ask why, why, why couldn't it have been Glenn Beck?"

So joked Bill Maher Friday evening on HBO's "Real Time."

During his opening monologue, Maher addressed John Bedell, the man that was shot and killed Thursday when he attacked the Pentagon.

For some reason, the comedian used the incident as a vehicle to go after the Fox News host (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Ed Morrissey, file photo):

I know who Glen Beck is what does bill matter.

I wish Bill Maher had to live by his ratings instead of on the goodwill of his leftist employers.

What an evil thing to say! And liberals are the ones who proclaim to be "sensitive, loving, and understanding." this guy proves that only applies to other liberals. I have not met one yet, or heard one yet, who can argue a point without emotion or making fun of someone who is in opposition to them. They always resort to caustic comments or "in-your-face" tactics.

Looking at Bill it is easy to see that he is a man filled with hatred. What is on the inside, eventually shows on the outside, as my father used to say.

Bill Maher reminds me of the old men I would see in the Alzheimer’s ward. They were probably witty when they were young, now they are just incoherent.

Although Mark Twain wrote this about another Bill, it may well apply to Maher: “He is as rotten a human being as can be found anywhere under the flag; he is a shame to the American nation...”

Why couldn’t it have been Bill Maher?

[fish hawk]

His sick jokes are not funny to us but I’m betting his audience laughs at just about anything he says. They are as sick as he is. They don’t even realize that this Elitist idiot considers them a bunch of idiotic peasants, far beneath him.

If he has to apologize to ferrets everwhere, you have to apologize to evil.

Maher is a bitter little man with a declining career.<<

It is so sad, I remember such acting talent when he starred in “Amazon Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death”. Sigh.

(He really starred in it...look it up!)

“You’d think he’d be in a better mood,since the Swiss developed a condom that fits!”

That’s probably why he’s snarkier than usual - he found out the new Swiss condom was still too big.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Didn’t Bill say that the 9/11 terrorists were freedom fighters or some such crap a while back?

[Always Independent]

What do you expect from a guy that is still disappointed that monica got to clinton’s schlonge before he did.

Bill Maher is to secular humanism world view as Michael Moore is to Marxist world view. Both are full of ignorance,irrationality, hostility, and hatred of the good for being the good.

[DCPatriot]

Beck should immediately lawyer up and sue his a$$.

Maher has placed a bulls-eye on him, IMO.

And it’s already been demonstrated that there are some Left-turning wing-nuts out there.

[PA Engineer]

Bill Maher is the shooter with a microphone.

[Nosterrex]

I canceled my subscription to HBO because I did not want to support Maher. I despise the cretin.

[Rastus]

That said, Maher really did throw a Truther off his set a few years ago.

Now THAT was FUNNY!

"I warned you about repeating that in public, ma! Get the hell out of here!"

[americanmother]

If he has to apologize to ferrets everwhere, you have to apologize to evil.

********Guess you are right.******

Does he even have a clue what he is inciting in those who might be more imbalanced than he is?

[chris_bdba]

Exactly! He learned at a very young age he could make women laugh!
