POPSReal Slime: An Open Letter To Bill Maher
But the most pathetic thing is when you expose your lack of education (both formal and informal) with your crackpot “theories.” This was no more evident than in the season finale of Real Time this past friday, where you asserted that it was doctors and patients “colluding together” to “corrupt” the healthcare system. This statement was so absurd and bizarre that your entire guest panel (all liberals) and even your reliably sycophantic studio audience just stared at you in disbelief. After three seconds of uncomfortable silence both the audience and panel (that included Chris Matthews and Alec Baldwin) erupted in laughter—not with you, but AT you. Things unraveled further when you launched into a diatribe defending more stupid comments you’d made the previous week about vaccines being “dangerous medical procedures.” Both Matthews and Baldwin were visibly disgusted by this, which resulted in Matthews aggressively confronting you and making you look like an idiot—again.

POPSBoomers vs. 13ers re: Roman Polanski More While the adults were out there finding themselves, getting divorced, giving us the key and leaving a frozen dinner on the counter, making movies about what demonic little baskets of evil children were, constantly reminding us that we were destined to be the first generation not to do better than our parents, building suburbia, reveling in all the cheap oil and abundant natural resources (and the healthy economy that came from exploiting them) and generally telling us what a horrible generation we were (and why couldn't we be more like that " Greatest Generation " anyway?), we were coming of age. I'm not at all surprised that it's younger artists in Hollywood who are neither sufficiently enthralled by Polanski's artistic reputation (nor moved by his Holocaust experience) to excuse him drugging and raping a 13-year-old. As a generation, we've been getting that sort of treatment from our elders from day 1

POPSBoycott of Fox Glenn Beck Show Pure Ratings Gold By contrast, when Bill Maher was hosting "Politically Incorrect," his comments about the relative courage of the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, set off a firestorm. Several big companies including Fedex and Sears Holding yanked their ads, and some affiliates refused to run the show. It eventually dwindled away and was canceled early the next year, although Maher himself now has a popular program on ad-free HBO. White House appoints 'radical communist' who sees environment as racial issue WND Exclusive JERUSALEM " The man appointed as a special environmental adviser to the White House recently was as an admitted radical communist and black nationalist leader. Jones, formerly a self-described "rowdy black nationalist," boasted in a 2005 interview that his environmental activism was a means to fight for racial and class "justice."

After taking a great deal of flak over his posting of the photo on his Flickr account, he defended himself and said he was simply trying to help inspire a young activist who had approached him.

POPSIt's a movie, people! Since the first Potter movie came out there has been this ludicrous panic among some Christians that all their little darlings who view these movies will be recruited by the witch's cabal. And the insanity continues still!

POPSOliver Stone, Lousy Historian Problem is, Oliver, you’re an historian whether you believe it or not. You make films about history and historical figures. You record history, and that makes you an historian. Being an historian is not the problem. It’s that you’re a lousy historian.

POPSWho needs actual freedoms when you have guns? "The real NRA nut says If the government can take our guns, then after that they can take our freedoms. "But what happened with the patriot act was the government said is No, no, no. Keep the guns, just give us the freedoms. "And they said WE GET TO KEEP THE GUNS! "If you wrapped the request in a flag, they'd line up to surrender the freedoms. They just really want the guns so that they can protect the guns."

POPS Even Bill Maher Is Sick Of Obama The President Is On TV More Than the ShamWow Guy . . . . . . Ultra-liberal Bill Maher seems to be as sick of seeing Barack Obama’s face plastered all over television as we conservatives are. I suspect the reasoning is a bit different, though. We’re tired of the media papering over his lies and deceit, but I think Maher is probably getting sick of the blisters on his palms from the merciless dry self-gratification he’s compelled to undertake each time his messiah’s face appears on screen. Enough with the Obamathon http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-maher12-2009jun12,0,7966784.story

POPSDisgusted With Obama and the Democrats? - Bill Maher Says It All! 
The Way Obama is acting, I am starting to feel like I did when the screwball FAR RELIGIOUS RIGHT AND NEOCONS were in power... I know we are going to get the REPS back in control again... they know how to SCAREMONGER and make the silly-ass, scaredy-cat people really SCARED. (scaremonger (n.) A person who invents threats to themselves and others everywhere. A form of critic looking for a lucky break to be proven right.{CHENEY} Typically praises other scaremongers, 1984, hates the government, organised religion and trading systems while freely using the produce of any. Quite narrow minded and insecure, but will attract a lot of sheep. .{CHENEY} from urban dictionary) Can you believe all this crap coming out of Cheney has made his poll numbers jump to 37... GOOD GOD, THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE! Anyway, I was watching Bill Maher "Real Time" show the other day and it was a good one... He hits the nail on the head so many times. I decided to blog it. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSFmr. CIA Agent Bob Baer: "Torture Doesn't Work" NOTE: The video I clipped has been taken down, but Baer's entire interview is available for free on the Real Time Podcast . ALSO: Working vid (for now) Torture has not saved American lives. Torture does generate useful information. And it is the tool of the kind of regimes we've been taught to hold in contempt.

POPSReality Check Well said Bill Maher - I'm sure there are many out there that feel the same way.
