You’re right and your post is excellent. He should be banned from appearing on Fox News for sure, but we’ll see. Greta is talking about him now.
What, and fire the liberal and mainstream’s poster child?
Bill Maher should be put in a room for 5 minutes with Todd Palin - problem solved.
FIOS now has TV.
I shall look into ditching Time Warner based on this.
This clown is just another brand of Charlie Sheen. Quit giving him attention, website hits, and TV ratings and he’ll go away. Call the cable company and tell them to keep their skiffy HBO, your life would be richer if you went outside and counted the tulips.
I’m utterly baffled that anybody could stand to watch ten consecutive seconds of Bill Maher. I’ve tried. His “humor” is sour sarcasm that’s about as funny as nails on a chalk board.
I do not understand how Hollywood picks the comedians that “make it”. Most of them are the most unfunny people on the planet. Billy Crystal, Gilbert Gottfried, Sinbad, Whoopie Goldberg, Roseanne Barr, Kathy Griffin, do I need to go on? The really funny ones get some play on Last Comic Standing and then disappear back into obscurity. Bill Maher is not only extremely not-funny, he’s downright annoying and outrageously arrogant. He gets an HBO special, a star on the Walk of Fame, and the red carpet wherever he goes. I’ll never understand it.
Boycott Maher, HBO and Time Warner all you want, but there is a huge difference.
Imus said what he did on a show carried by FCC-licensed over-the-air broadcast channels. Yes, it was simulcast by MSNBC but the real fear came from the possible fines levied by the FCC.
Maher’s remarks were made not only on a cable channel but one you have to specifically subscribe to and one who’s forte is presenting material too explicit to be shown on over-the-air television or spoken on over-the-air radio.
In other words, Maher was giving his audience exactly what they pay money for - disgusting as that may be for the rest of us.
Letterman made a crude joke about Palin’s kids and had to walk it back because his show is carried on FCC-licensed stations. Maher goes to HBO precisely because they are unregulated.
Be outraged all you want but all you are telling the suits at HBO or Time Warner with your protest letters is that Maher did what they are paying him to do - say controversial things that will attract more viewers.
And since HBO has no advertisers, you won’t get much sympathy boycotting that way either.
And, for the record, Time Warner Cable is now a separate company from Time Warner so complaining to them won’t go far either.
I’m not condoning or endorsing what he has said or will say. I think he’s a disgusting little twerp and if Al Qaeda gunned him down in the middle of one of his shows, I’d say they were doing America a favor. But your efforts to get him censored or fired aren’t going to work. They’ll simply going to ask why you were watching to begin with.
Bill Maher needs to be reminded that it takes one to know one.
How many viewers does this a..hole get for a given show? Does anyone know?
There is nothing we on earth can do to this scumbag that Jesus Christ won’t do 10 times better. I wish I could be there to here this jerks excuses before the trap door opens and sends him where he belongs.
And you need to be fired for posting this “vanity” in the News forum.
BILL MAHER NEEDS TO BE FIRED . . . . AGAIN!!!
Fixed it!
Maher is a disgusting piece of garbage which hardly matters in the face of horrendous events facing this planet...have been off FR for a month or so...it was very depressing reading about this world and it’s people - nothing ever really changes if you think about it. We still have a jerk for president and until that problem is solved, NOTHING will change for the better. The Republicans have no one who will win and therein lies a problem...this jerk will be president again for another term, simply by default...and by then it may be too late.
I give this guy no attention and don’t think he should receive any publicity for his intellectually limited remarks.
Just know that not so deep down, he’s a miserable wretch who probably despises himself.
Out of a canon point blank at a brick wall.
I had the misfortune of watching about 5 minutes of his program while staying at a hotel.
5 minutes embedded in my mind that I truly wish they made brain bleach for.
A sick, depraved, classless and absolutely pathetic excuse of a human being.
