Duh... The thing is I wasn't even really trying to make a point. I made an offhand comment about how those types of remarks remind me of remarks made by another. Everybody just leapt to her defense. Even people who admittedly don't listen to the show were all on me. It's been an amusing thread for me.but mitt apparently did Damo, I think that is the point that is being made here...
Not here she isn't.

First it was, conservatives are all that way... Then it was, well, at least she isn't famous... then it was, well when did she introduce... On and on. I never made any of those points. Truly, the remark reminded me of things that Randi Rhodes says....
She'll be talking about the "Bush Crime Family" and get going on how much she wishes that they would "just die" after she goes into a long rant. I was shocked the first time, but you get used to it after a while. I wanted to hear this "great" liberal talk show host. She won't make it big because that voice of hers grates on people.
No, I didn't leave that out. Above I spoke about it when another put forward the idea that because Coulter is more famous her remarks somehow can't resemble Rhode's remarks.
It doesn't work, Darla. You are arguing a strawman. I never said that it was okay or even equivalent. I said that they reminded me of remarks from her, and from Maher for that matter. His are more subtle usually, but they remind me of such.
I know I would have been one of the ones going "Whoooo" eyes widened as I thought... "Woah... That's going to hurt when it hits the news!"
I wouldn't want her around any campaign of mine.
If one unpopular candidate chooses to hang himself with her, then I can't stop him. Or if a PAC decides to hang an albatross around its neck, I cannot stop them either. I think it commendable that you stopped the others from asking for R. Rhodes. I wish these people had the forethought to work their way through it too.No no. I am not arguing a strawman because I am not arguing about what you said or didn’t say, and I’m not claiming that you ever said it’s ok for her to say those things because Randi Rhodes does too.
I’m just saying, that the Republican party itself, is going to hang with her, if they’re going to hang with her. Get it? Hang with her if they’re going to hang with her?
i don't see her coment is as bad as bull mahar's a bout wishing big dick checny had gotten killed by that terrorist explosion. all she said was that if she used the f word, she would have to go to rehab. it was a much funnier joke than john kerry heinz's "joke" about stupid people in the militery (we all really know it wasn't a joke, but tru eliberal sesntiment.
the funny part was when mann coulter said that she would neve insult homosexuals by comparing them to edwards. now you have to admit that is funny! maybe base and classless, but funny in the lenny bruce vein.....and he was considered a freeking genius by liberals just for saying the other F word in public!!!
Nah, he's more subtle than that. He circles around, but wouldn't commit, it like a light turd that won't go down the drain....Originally Posted by HipLew

this is why I always ask for links, when rightwingers claim this stuff.
You probably got this assertion of the rightwing hacksite Newsbusters, or some other such link.
A fair reading of the actual real transcript, show that Maher never said he wished Cheney were killed in the assasination attempt.
Except you don't include the full transcript yourself because you know it makes him look like that circling turd I spoke of earlier. The guy questions him, he spins and spins but won't answer the question directly and ends answer the question:Originally Posted by HipLew

See hip? Newsbusters, Limbaugh, or whoever, lied to you:
-Bill Maher: “Have you heard about this, this week? The Taliban tried to blow up Dick Cheney. Don’t worry, he’s okay. No, he was never in danger. At the time of the attack he was safely asleep in his coffin. So…I’m joking. I just hope that this attempt on his life doesn’t turn him bitter, vicious and paranoid.”
Later in show
-I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow. [applause]

I didn't read it, I watched the show. The transcript doesn't include the question? Methinks you got yours from some sort of Randi Rhodes site or something.I just posted the actual transcript. Not whatever you read on the Glenn Beck website.
Nowhere, does Maher even remotely "wish" for cheney's death.
LOL. Have you ever heard the viewing audience or do you deny that they are Democrats?
