@Ratboy
The reason it’s not listed is because HBO is not a News network you knucklehead. However, Bill Maher is a news show and he draws over 4 Million Americans every episode to watch and listen to his Liberal slanted opinions…you should watch it sometime…you’d probably learn a lot more than by watch Faux News. And stop getting so mad that Bill Maher draws a bigger audience than Bill O’Reilly…don’t be a hater…lol
So which one is it Eddie??
Back on May 29, Schultz warned of giant flaming acorns falling from the sky if Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker prevailed in a June 5 recall election against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in the 2010 gubernatorial race.
Here’s Schultz sounding the alarm that a Walker victory could foreshadow President Obama’s defeat in November, which in turn would usher in an era of permanent GOP control of the White House
They are trying to set it up that if Mitt Romney gets elected, if Mitt Romney gets elected, there will never be a Democratic president again in the history of the United States. The future is just, this is the way it’s going to be. There’ll never be a Democratic president in our lifetime again. And when I say in our lifetime, I’m talking about long, long, long, long, long time.
This is why Wisconsin’s so important. The people of the country need to know that you can defeat it. And this in many respects is doing the country a favor, the way they’re operating, the way they’re lying, the way they’re backing up the worst candidate, the worst governor in the country, his record’s horrendous, and who he’s a puppet to.
So that’s why this is so important. They’re trying to make it so Barack Obama doesn’t get re-elected and no Democrat ever will be elected into the White House.
“This is why Wisconsin’s so important” — Walker wins, Obama in turn loses, and it’s the end of the world as we know it.
Two days later, Schultz was crooning a different tune. More accurately, he was part of a liberal chorus singing the same line, that of Walker winning in Wisconsin hardly mattering at all. Silly you, why would you have ever thought otherwise?
I get a kick out of the Twitter world ’cause they’re working me over saying, oh, it’s going to be fun to watch Eddie, he’ll be crying in his beer, whatever. No I’m not! No, no, there’s no downside about this recall any way, shape or form. Obviously we want Walker to be thrown out because he’s a radical and he’s not good for America. But look at the other side. They are throwing millions of dollars at a guy who is on the verge of being indicted for a felony. Now, how are they going to feel, win lose or draw, when this happens
THIS IS NOT THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEWS SHOW HOST!!! ……NOT A SINGLE CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Maher
Source: Wikipedia
William “Bill” Maher, Jr. ( born January 20, 1956) is an American stand-up comedian, television host, political commentator, author, and actor. Before his current role as the host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher hosted a similar late-night talk show called Politically Incorrect originally on Comedy Central and later on ABC. Maher is known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary
DB, Joan, Ralphie Boy, and anybody else………….Steve Perry is ALL YOURS!!! I will once again quote Ron White “You cant fix stupid!”
MSNBC continues it’s own self destruction with it’s
repulsive talking heads line up. Mika, Matthews, Ed,
Odonnel, Maddow, Sharpton and Hayes.
The next two hires will probably be John Edwards and
Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Who said MSNBC can’t get any worse ?
Don’t get frustrated Ratboy because you can’t handle the truth.
The O’Reilly Factor is show in which Bill O’Reilly, a political commentator, discusses political issues and the news and provides his conservative opinions on those issues.
The Bill Maher show is a show in which Bill Maher, a political commentator, discusses political issues and the news and provides his liberal opinions on those issues.
Besides one being liberal and the other being conservative, there’s no difference. What say you?
@Ratboy
This is from the same wikipedia source you used:
William James “Bill” O’Reilly, Jr. born September 10, 1949 is an American television host, author, syndicated columnist and political commentator.
“THIS IS NOT THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEWS SHOW HOST!!! ……NOT A SINGLE CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Back at you buddy.
@Steve Perry, I think you touched a nerve. Hehe!!
HBO’s REALTIME with Bill Maher is only on pay premium packages on cable & satellite.
Fox News is on every cheap of the cheap basic cable & satellite packages, and Bill Maher kicks their a$$ in viewers.
(msnbc is not on every basic package)
Not quite a comparison…… a 24 hour news channel to a one hour news & views program on HBO. But, when you take the pay hurdle for Bill Maher against the one hour easy access to Bill Oreilley its a slaughter.
But, as you can see the Righties HATE Bill Maher. So feel free to invoke him often.
The libs excuse the extremely nasty rhetoric from Maher by saying it doesn’t count because he is a comedian ( a not very funny comedian). Can’t have it both ways Stevie and thanks for enforcing the notion that libs resort to name calling when confronted with opposing view points. You are a perfect example.
@ratboy
Is Detroit under the Gov’s emergency management program??
If so how is it working?
Getting mixed info online.
Thanks and have a great evening!
Stevie and Jeffie, how come you guys only talk about issues that don’t matter. I haven’t seen either of you comment on the 8.2 percent unemployment rate, the pathetic 69,000 jobs created, the real unemployment rate of 14 percent, Solydra, Fast and Furious, etc. These are important issues as opposed to the ratings of a hack like Maher. Oh wait those other issues reflect poorly on your Messiah but I am sure you guys can twist the numbers and the scandals to make him look good.
Solyndra
@DB, Issa found no scandal re: Solyndra, deal with it, OH! WAIT! you probably didn’t see it on Fox News, so its not all your fault.
Furthermore, I find responding to you a complete waste of time . So I will leave it there.
@DB
Stop drinking the Faux News kool-aid
@ Jeff
this is a pretty good overall view of year one overall a big sucsess for the state1

On the Detrroit issue, I think it is too early to know one way or the other.
I like to watch the McLaughlin GROUP every week to see if old John calls Sarah Palen a c**t,,every watch Gwen Ifill on Washington week,,she can be downright raunchy…People tune into Bill Maher for the same reason they tune into Howard Stern,,he’s juat a tv shock jock…Sleeze sells…
@DB & PaulG
Bill Maher’s nasty rhetoric doen’t even come close to that of Rush, Hannity, and the other radio talk show hosts.
@DB
Bush’s policies were in effect until the end of 2009 at which the unemployment rate was at 9.9%…since then, President Obma’s policies have lowered it to 8.2%…that’s actually pretty good.
