Re: Worthless Bill Mahre wishing Cheneys death!!!

How about posting the actual quote?

Bill Maher What I Didn't Say
Mon Mar 5, 11:03 PM ET

On Saturday, the website NewsBusters.org posted a story under the headline "Bill Maher Sorry the Assassination Attempt on Dick Cheney Failed."

There's just one problem: As a fair reading of the show's transcript makes clear, I never said those words. Still, over the weekend, dozens of websites, mostly right wing, picked up the story (with headline intact) thus proliferating the myth that comic Maher somehow advocates the whacking of our Veep.

Don't get me wrong: I've never joined the Dick Cheney Fan Club. But what I said Friday -- and what I believe -- is that the Vice President has presided over a bungled execution of a war in which thousands of our bravest continue to die. And I believe that were he not in power, our troops would likely come home sooner. But I don't wish him dead.

Ironically, I made my comments during a discussion about Free Speech, which is one of the chief reasons that I love my country.

To see a complete transcript from the March 2, 2007 episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher" go to:
Bill Maher.
You guys need to stop reading the right wing hater's lies about stuff and find out the truth.

YouTube - Bill Maher: Cheney Dead Not Such A Bad Thing

Here is what he said, see the video.

Quote:
If Dick Cheney was not in power, people would not be needlessly dying tomorrow.
Quote:
If he did die, more people would live, that's a fact.
So, what's not true?

Some Americans want Osama bin Laden to be dead. I rank Cheney as on an even lower level of scum.

Re: Worthless Bill Mahre wishing Cheneys death!!!

LOL! I so love when people adopt propaganda when they didn't see the comments made. What Bill Maher actually asked was why Arianna Huffington removed a post from her blog that said it was too bad that the bombs missed Cheney. He didn't voice his agreement with that. He was talking about a First Amendment issue.

Now... he did say that fewer people would be dead tomorrow, but he didn't wish Cheney dead.

Perhaps you should have watched Scarborough talk about it yesterday since he was on the same show.

As to Edwards being gay, you guys just spew vitriole about everything, don't you, even if it's a patent lie.

Gee, Jack, don't you have anything useful to say? How about actually backing up your wild claims every once in a while?

and this is why no real americans take liberal Democrats seriously when they say they can protect the country from islamic radicals.

As long as the general public know the left feels this way they will continue to elect whoever the republican nominee is.

Yes, because Slon clearly speaks for the Left and Democrats.

Yes we know liberals like to pretend their political opponents are murdered; then they don't have to actually debate them on issues.

Which is a lie. You do realize this don't you? That is unless you can actually prove fewer people would be dead tomorrow if Cheney wasn't around.

As opposed to lying about whether or not our country is safer and our soldiers are dying needlessly in this fight against radical islam? You're actually comparing that to some blonde bimbo who says Edwards is hetero-sexually challenged?

All that aside, I agree with you that he didn't say he wished the VP were dead.
