Bill Maher calls U.S. cowardly; FedEx pulls ads from show

And to our Sarasota affiliate which carries this program the subject line reads:

"I will not watch your station ever even if a Cat 5 hurricane is off the coast until Politically Incorrect is removed from your lineup"

[Xenalyte]

It just rings and rings and rings and rings . . . two minutes of ring and counting . . . bet that voice-mail box is full!

[HiTech RedNeck]

It was also courageous for 4 terrorists armed with box cutters to confront and control 100 passengers + crew.

They knew they were dealing with unarmed sheeple who played by the old rules. And NOBODY "took credit." I say cowards.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

And hit their phone bank also. We need to get the word out on this everywhere. At least they were polite, but woah, when the vets around here hear about this one.

[Anonymous2]

doesn't maher have something else to jerk with? and, yes, this form of war, terrorism, is done by cowards, cowards that will die, their associates will die, anyone that aids them will die.

[ChaseR]

Try again. It took me about two or three minutes. They'll pick up. Ask to speak to Ben Wolverton.

yeah, i would prefer launching nukes from 10,000 miles away where even pilots aren't at risk and the mission is infinitely more successful.

[Texas Mom]

Much as I despise his show, Maher has a point here. War from 15,000 feet is rather cowardly, if you think about it.

Cowardly? No, it's called technology. The only point Mahar has is the one on his pin head.

i stopped using fedex long ago *because* they were sponsoring the king of all jerk offs, maher.

"These are warriors," D'Souza said, "and we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world."

I used to admire this individual, too.

That statment prompts me to question not only his common sense, but also his intelligence.

Being suicidal is not the same as being heroic.
It certainly gives my concept of "warrior" a black eye. I don't believe this fellow is Muslim, but he certainly embraces muslim "newspeak".

Finally, we are may be out of step with the rest of the world. The principles of our way of life are unique, and thank God for that.

Even the Mass Murderers and others from their country, enjoy being here, for education, if for no other reason; From a hopelessly lost and decadent "devil" country.

Go figure. muslim logic?

"I would prefer launching nukes from 10,000 miles away where even pilots aren't at risk and the mission is infinitely more successful."

Also, the sight picture is a whole lot less difficult to maintain.

You are absolutely right.

I will send my recommendation to the Department of defense forthwith.

No equipment or weapons allowed except knives.

And our troops must walk to get there.

This is in-freaking-credible.

I can't believe my eyes.

[E.G.C.]

ABC Contact info Unbelievable. Bill Maher is a shining example of what is wrong with this country.

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

You're too kind.

[Mad-Margaret]

And to think Barbara Olsen lost her life to be on this crappy show. I couldn't make it through even one show when it was on Comedy Central. Maher is an obnoxious untalented ass.

PtBoR, post #69: "Walt must not only be spinning, but doing triple somersaults as well."

What happens when Disney finds that Egyptian travel agent, just arrested this afternoon, also books families into Disney World along side the airline terrorists? Whoa!

[Landru]

"WAIT! Fed-EX pulled their ads in protest. They were the good guys! Am I missing something?"

No Cowgirl, looks like you're firing on all eight.

Hope it wasn't me leading you to believe otherwise.
Even if only a case of mistaken interpretation!!

Be sure to percieve the context of what I say in these kind of matters, kid.
I'm on the Right side; of course. :)
