[Eagle Eye]

Maher was not misquoted and his statement said exactly what it has been interpreted.

Where did Mahr call the military cowards? At worst he made an unclear statement that he later clarified. But I doubt that you wanted to hear or believe his clarification. You didn't raise a fuss when he bragged about masturbating several times a day, but you will over this. Right.

Was Rush wrong in his assessment? Isn't Rush "always right"?

Why do I 'defend' Mahr on this, even though I cannot stomach his show? (The last one I saw was when Bill Glass was on and I cannot remember being able to stomach even Mahr's monologue in previous shows) The truth means something to me and I don't believe that Mahr is getting treated fairly. Neither does Hannity or Rush. Now where does that put you? are you willing to reconsider and be fair or are you blinded by your hate of the guy?

In some folk's mind --- this incident would not have enflamed so much anger - but for a few points:
1. His timing was worse than insensitive - it was a cruel slap at Americans.
2. His history of insulting positions against the Conservative or Christian right - had already worn a raw spot. His last (hopefully) insult - poured salt into that wound.
3. His humor had a edge that swung in only one direction...cutting the Right.
This clymer lived by the word --- he committed suicide with the word.... No one put those words or positions in his mouth, He did..

Dr. Laura was driven from her TV job by Gays that were insulted by her position...... Should not other LARGER groups not have the same impact?
