Setting The Record Straight On Coulter

[wizardoflawz]

hating Dick Cheney is like saying shit stinks

[Gunman610]

Maher's argument that taking down a comment advocating violence against Cheney because of 1st Amendment concerns reminds of of when people criticized Dr Laura for saying the N-word over and over and she quit to 'get her 1st Amendment rights back'.

The panel is right to say that (basically) the commenter has a right to come to my house and say those things. And I then have the right to kick his ass out.

[redryan20000]

[VoiceofReason50]

Barney Frank speaks as if he has a penis in his mouth!

[ekajeht]

Who has sucked more cock ?

Barney or Bill?

[ahoyhoy79]

@ekajeht your dad

[ekajeht]

@ahoyhoy79 no way!!

Because =Your not my dad

[yellowkrux]

@ekajeht You.

[ekajeht]

@yellowkrux

LOL you fags get so upset everytime someone refers to your habits as disgusting put downs to other fags.

LOL

Fuck you cock-suckers!

[yellowkrux]

@ekajeht Why so angry? I thought you proud of how much cock you sucked?

[BongMonstar]

seriously watch the boondocks "she just do that to get that redneck money"

[RealTime88]

And it is one thing to say I hate Dick Cheney, a lot of people do but it is another to say I am sorry he didn't die.

[RealTime88]

I love freedom of speech too but I agree with the panel. One of the few times I disagree with Bill.

[gombis666]

Since when did nasty Barney Frank get put into this intelligentsia status? He's a little twit and has hurt the US in so many ways. He's not that bright either.

[scalplifter55]

bill and barney make a nice couple...

[klard]

I am not a fan of this silly talk about wishing people die. But seriously, people don't actually want it to happen, they are just expressing their frustration.

[699backstab]

Coulter and the rest of religulous amerka is an insult ot humanity

[123premonition]

Her adams apple is bigger than my nut sack!

[bigbradford69]

lmao

[WikeddTung]

@123premonition and her nut sack is bigger than her adam's apple

[gtrgyro420]

gggg

[tyronebumblebee]

Only in america would a right wing fruitcake like coulter be taken seriously

[Backpackr3]

You watch a video featuring Bawney Fwank and you call coulter a fruitcake?

Thats rich.

[d31090]

shes not its just fun to watch her put her racist foot in her mouth every time she talks

[RublinDublin]

@tyronebumblebee she's not taken seriously... she's only taken seriously by retarded morons

[Kinjamaimai]

@tyronebumblebee The american dream, but more like a bad trip.

[WARDOG1138]

Why isn't Joe this reasonable and this civil on his own show

[TheSunsetHero]

cause his show is on basic cable

[matthewschramm1983]

Yeah, what is up with that? Good point.

[TheDirteeSanchez]

cause he cant hang with maher, maher would destroy his cawky ignorant ass.

[BeastlyGerman]

Ann Coulter is a fascist!

[benegeseritwhore]

I am sorry dick cheney didn't die from grief when the 4,000th soldier died in the war that he chose and profited from.

[cyclohexane1]

exactly douche cunt, he singlehandely manufactured the housing bubble and the credit crissis while holding a gun to the wallstreet fat cats and the Bush Admin. Its fucking fox news blowjobs like you that damage our gene pool, lol. Luckily you guys are dying out

[larrymyclown]

you're a fcking blabbering moron

[purplefuzzythings]

No, he shot you down, actually. Sorry, that's how it works when say stupid shit.

[larrymyclown]

This Barnie Frank continues to destroy our country.

[hamshow]

Only for right-wing racist nutcases like yourself.

[enoch6977]

SO true!

[arizona95835]

I couldnt agree more.Barney Frank is an idiot.Bill Mayer is just as big of an idiot.

[hatfisc]

Bill Maher is proven wrong here and his viewpoints are proven rediculous. "If dick cheney dies today more americans would live tomorrow." What now huh? Not only is Obama not withdrawing our troops from Iraq anytime soon, he is surging troops in Afganistan. Im not saying i think Obama is doing anything wrong, it just sheds light on how liberals like Bill are blinded by idealology and have blown their wad on trashing the Bush administration.

[sypin]

You have a point, but you missed the main point. What he said was"If Dick Cheney was not in power today, people wouldn't be dying needlessly tomorrow". I also hate how people trash the Bush administration- just for the sake of it, and without any acute reasoning.

Although, they messed so many times, its just so easy.

Also, "They got us in this mess" as they say- so regardless of Obama's actions, the "If it wasn't for them" argument will always be there to accompany any mishaps or embarrasments

[Billcot1]

[dantej32]

Isn't OBL in Afghanistan? I do not mind troops going there to gethim. OBL is not in Iraq. Something about Cheney who during the Clinton years stated that going into Iraq would be a quagmire. He was very prophetic.

[curlyfry1106]

the bomb was wasted

[pallee12]

Frank is the worst of the scum in Washington. He is exactly where the blaim for the current financial meltdown lies, and yet there his lying ass is, still scamming and lying to our collective detriment.

[xpo50]

he said that the Fanny and Freddy were not wise investments

[hatfisc]

Ah ha! A typical liberal who only hears what he or she wants and filters everything else out. He said it wasnt the wisest of investments but was a safe investment and did not forsee any problems with them. Listen for yourself or just include his entire statement in your error.

[djwithnoname]

yeah, it's a DEMOCRAT'S fault. Uh-huh.

[pallee12]

Not just one...ALL. They ran Congress for the past 2 years, and are 100% responsible for the current crisis. They pulled the most significant switcheroo of blame in history, so I'll give them that. They're smarter at playing the blame game. How ya like that? Hmmm?

[ender2148]

Uh, how about the endless filibusters the Republicans initiated...bicameral legislature works both ways. Unless you're saying the Republican congressman/women don't have the stones to actually do something. Don't place all the blame on Democrats, both sides fucked up big time.

Oh yeah, great support from the Bush Administration too. Really transparent government if I've ever seen it..

[gt40f]

"Frank is the worst of the scum in Washington." Because he advocated for homeowners? They're not the ones taking all the money, they lost. It's the big bankers and their 50 to 1 derivatives that are the real criminals. They knew the poor homeowners would default, heck it was planned that way.

[weenieinabottle]

blaim?

[blandinthebasement]

Kind of like supporters of Prop 8 hate gay people, Barney?

[brothermopsy]

Barney Frank looks like Mr. Magoo!

[calimar28]

Frank suffers from a cronic case of "dick in mouth disease"

[wildmancd]

Could someone put up captions for Barney Frank. You cant understand his speech impediment ass.

[johanneslabusch]

That's funny, I had no problem understanding what Frank is saying. Are you sure the problem is his lisp, or could it be that you suffer from a thought impediment?

[zerntz]

I'm sorry he wasn't raped in the ass by a sperm whale

[therewillbeastronaut]

I'm sorry Dick Cheany didn't get blown up.

[jaroncreed]

Barney Frank! He was on OReilly!

[wackid89]

RENO93535 are you still here, shouldn't you be in prison by now getting your bitch ass raped

[icu812a]

I have to admit I like the title of this clip. Because this is Coulter's shtick completely. "How can I not love a country where I could say outrageous things I don't actually mean and watch the entire news media/blogosphere spend endless hours devoting their attention to me."

[yoshiebe]

reading these comments is funny...i think its hilarious that reno93535 ended his comment with 'thank you and goodnight' like he was ending on some fantastic, funny, genius thought.

to bad he/she didnt.

[Fropals1]

the term totalitarianism came from the Fascist Italian Party before WWII.

[Pogawa341]

ACTUALLY, Totalitarianism is Fascism. There is no totalitarianism on its own, just like dictatorships, they can be fascist or communist or as of late AMERICAN. And Fascism is when CORPORATIONS take hold of the government no elites.

[Pogawa341]

I meant to say, not elites.

[reno93535]

Barney Frank is a fat liar faggot that fought against regulating Fannie and Freddie. Now he says we should raise taxes to counter the mess. Somebody shove a sausage down his throat.

[Joszuaprocess]

People like you need to be put down like a rabid dog.

[reno93535]

A pissed off heterophobe. How's Frithco?

[Joszuaprocess]

A classless dimwit. How's your sister-wife?

[reno93535]

She's doing great. Thanks for asking. Does Barney Frank burp sperm?

[Joszuaprocess]

How the hell would I know? I'm too busy railing said sister-wife while you're at work.

[reno93535]

Well, when you're done with your sister wife, would you work on Barney? He needs help. Thankyou and goodnight.

[semitar6]

Reno is indeed a moron..

[semitar6]

It's scary that retards like reno exist...He is obsolete like a 8 track...and he thinks his comments are relevant.? Retard...

[reno93535]

Are you a turd hunter? You have something against Barney Frank's sperm burping?

[semitar6]

And once again reno proves he is a class act. He is obviously hiding in the closet himself. Or he is truly just a lowlife who has to whine about others, so as to hide his own low-life loser status..pathetic.

[ryno88]

Reno...? Why are you so interested in Barney and the topic "sperm burping"?

[jaaje29]

There is absolutely no reason why people shouldnt be able to say that Dick Cheney should have been killed...First amendment grants the right of free speech, something Arianna Huffington supposedly cares deeply about. She can disassociate herself from the comments by saying that her site is meant to enforce the rule of law, which of course includes the right of free speech. The fact that she censored that right shes just two sides of the same coin.

[fel121]

ksb457 (2 weeks ago) Show Hide -1 Marked as spam Reply | Spam why do they even allow barney frank to speak? that idiot is largely responsible for the market crashing every ****ing day!!!!

Please explain to me, in something other than right wing talking points, how Barney Frank is responsible for the market crashing? What lasw has he written, what direct actions has he taken to cause the market to crash?

[sidgirl1]

FUck Barney Frank, he needs to be put in jail

[karmicdejavoodoo]

Barney Frank has nothing to do with Wall Street. Get educated. Wall St. was going to be in trouble anyway. Harry Dent has been predicting an economic depression for 15 years. Dent uses statistical analysis of data and computer modeling and has never been wrong, only slightly off twice due to factors out of his data (like 911). We are getting the depression early because of financial deregulation and the Republican "free market" philosophies.

[ksb457]

why do they even allow barney frank to speak? that idiot is largely responsible for the market crashing every ****ing day!!!!

[thefloacist]

"...this was a misuse of that doctrine,"

I just got an image of Palin in my head, lol.

[Dinosaurs4breakfast]

joe scarborough isnt a liberal you retard.

[iiiears]

Having the grabbing attention of your audience is seductive i think Mr.Maher just proved that. Mr. Scarborough clearly explained Mrs. Huffington's objection. It's surprising how fast a serious discussion can get derailed.

[Stormwern]

Freedom of speech is restricted irl too. If you stand in time square and say Cheney should die, you'll get dirty looks. If you stand there with a sign saying the same thing, someone will call the police or punch you in the face.

[jp2007ms]

It's not legally restricted in that sense, just socially. But there are other places, like schools, courtrooms etc. where it is legally restricted.

[triton609]

4 liberals vs. who?.............the cameramen?

[hankschade72]

Why would anyone even watch these morons?

[hygh2]

then why did you?

[uberchrist33]

These liberals amaze me. They sit there, and actual make statements to the affect that they know, if Cheney wasn't in office, a lot of people would be alive today. That's a fact. When did they get to see sensitive, national security information? When did they become President of the USA? And, if there are so omniscient, why are they not running for President, so they can take over the government, and we can all have liberal fascist smiley faces, super-emposed on our brown shirts?

[e45761]

hey dumbass fashism is the antithisis of liberal communism to the left and fashism/nazism to the right of the world spectrum and leand some time blind faith is exactly what people on both extreams use to controle idiots like you into doing their bidding

pick up a book other than the bible for once you overzealout retard

[e45761]

that was for uber christ33 btw perfect name too at least we know youre a idiot befor we read mr man of God who forgets to capitalize the name of his loard and savior.

[uberchrist33]

As opposed to capitalizing the first word, at the beginning of a sentence? And, it's "Lord and Savior". Get it right, Mr/Mrs Solopsistic.

[uberchrist33]

Dumbass, idiot, retard. Now, am I suppose to respond to your comment, or R U just exposing yourself to the genius that U R? Ur comment only reinforces my point. Liberals can't argue, they can only call people names. Aren't U guys suppose to be sensitive about "name calling", or is that form of solecism only reserved for republicans? BTW, it's fascism, not fashism. We're talking about a philosophical ideology, not SATC.

[mrwallaby]

Isn't "liberal fascist" kind of an oxymoron? I always here people talking about liberal fascist. But the definition of fascism refers to dictator forcing a govermental system, emphasizing aggressive nationalism and often racism, or someone with extreme right wing views.

[hypermonkey26]

"Fascism a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"

....so often about race but not necessarily the case. The rest could be a liberal agenda run wild.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

There isn't a solid definition for fascism... It's kind of like social conservatism (racism, sexism, bigotry, no mercy for the weak, false patriotism, branding dissenters as traitors etc) meets fiscal liberalism, secretive government and few individual freedoms.

Personally i think the Republicans meet this definition more than the Democrats post 9/11, but then maybe Obama is another Bush?

[hpw101]

what you describe is totalitarianism. not fascism.

[sparrow1222]

Same tired crap. You liberals can't pose a decent argument so you go into nasty language. Why do you demonize Ann for any thing she says, but it is ok to wish death upon Cheney. Pure hypocricy!!!!!!!

[bigtiggerpaws]

Stone that bitch.

[crazytvfan815]

Why did an attack on Dick Cheney fail, but attacks on Lincoln and JFK succeed

[mistamustard]

Because either god doesn't exist, he hates good people, or he hates all of us. I'm gonna go with the first one.

[fjackson90]

coulter's a dumb bitch. anyone who see her as more is a dumbass. sorry

[gyongyhajulany]

she is an agent spreading 'disinformation' just to add more confusion and distraction int to the mix...at our expense.

[Michele4905]

*directed at realtruthtoday*

[daniel000047]

The guys coming on the tube and youtube who knock Coulter are just angry because she has the guts to speak her mind while they act like shy little girls who are afraid to speak theirs.

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

To the bitch's credit she does speak her mind (weak as it may be). But in the real world you dont get credit just for effort she's an idiot.

[starkt2]

she's not speaking her mind. she's making boat loads of money selling books to dolts like you.

[baseballnolie34]

You sir deserve many more pluses. Most of the insanity in the right wing is based around how much money there is to be made shifting the discourse that far to the right.

[rumble2323]

Fox News is not slanted Left. Neither is CNN. What are you, retarded?

[jukinj3]

Maher threw out the truthers but wants huffington to live by other rules?

[Iconoclastithon]

That's because it was during a live show and they were interupting it over and over.

The stuff on huffington post, was on a forum and not interutping anything.

Bill allowed the truthers to say it...and then when they wou;d'nt finally shut up- he booted em out!

[bogey666]

Maher is a LIBERTARIAN, above all. Libertarians, "tend" to be more Republican than Democrat (before W and the religious right ruined the Republican Party)

and he was 100% correct when he CORRECTLY said a person who flies into a building might be many things but he's not a "coward". That was one of the first exposees of the hijacking of terminology and Goebbels like propaganda that comes out of this administation.

[clemtoe]

maher isn't a libertarian. he just thinks he is because to not be a complete socialist in hollywood makes you provacatively pro-market.

[bogey666]

you need to listen to what Maher was saying before he got smeared and destroyed by the Bush "patriot" crowd immediatelyu post 9-11.

in fact, if you were listening to Maher when Slick Willy was President, then you'd know what I was talking about.

now, he's reflexively anti Bush and that crowd, and for good reason. They're morons, screwups and great cannon fodder.

[tracer740]

bogey666- Maher only said what was true and every honest, thinking person was assessing. The nervous nellies, the anxiety-ridden chickenhawks and the intimidated cowards screamed foul, of course.

[nigger130]

i am a christian let me tell you george vbush is not a christian but a criminal, and the so called right wing believers are no more then evil rasist bufoons the south is the most hate filled place to live!

[katyafan]

well put, right on!!

[jukinj3]

Sure you are.

[bogey666]

Maher is NOT a "liberal". During the Clinton years, he poked a lot of fun at political correctness that Democrats love. He got smeared by idiot Republicans when he said a person who flies a plane into a building is NOT a "coward". The idiots smeared him, attacked him, got his ABC show cancelled, and since then Maher despises W and those people, for very good reason

[clemtoe]

actually, dinesh d'sousa said that on his show and he just agreed. that would be the one time he got a bad rap.

[jamchew]

i'm not a big fan of maher either. he's like a liberal o'reilly, but at least he doesn't yell at people. and doesnt lie either.

[Jennah8282]

Jamchew,

A "liberal" O'Reilly that doesn't lie or yell?

Then he's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!

[Jennah8282]

A liberal O'reilly that doesn't yell or lie?

Than he's COMPLETELY different.

He's never been a bigot for the left.

[InfoJunkieHolland]

maher is a lying snake. DO NOT listen to this verbal diarrhea.

[theinfamous3344]

what does this have anyting to do with coulter

[mastergregg]

i dont get it? this is gay go search u tube for stuff like face plants THEN ULL SEE SOME ACTION! not sum fuckin politicion dudes

[WhoTube24]

Wow, THANK YOU for posting this video. It is very enlightening.

[sarahbtw82]

Thank you so much for posting this clip! It's an example of the left engaging in reasonable, respectful, intelligent debate while the right-wing hate machine twists and distorts. Didn't Coulter take logic classes in law school? It sure doesn't show. My 6 year old possesses more deductive reasoning ability than Coulter & O'Reilly, by far.

[Metalwhop]

FYI, they dont offer logic classes in law school. it's assumed you have basic logical skills BEFORE you go

[t0nt01982]

Conservatives distorts? HA! Liberals have control of mainstream media and pump their liberal views into young people's minds. Conservatives have ONE network and talk radio. Liberals have also been trying to ban talk radio for the past 20yrs. "Fairness ACT"

[topher01]

Man are you stupid! Liberals have control of mainstream media? The fact of the matter (not that facts will effect your ignorance) is that the media is controlled by corporate masters. And guess what. They're the same corporate masters who own the Rupuglican party. Maybe you should do a little research and find out who owns the "mainstream" media outlets. You should also get informed about who's trying to ban what and who is using the Fairness Act.

[t0nt01982]

ha. this is proven fact the the mainstream media is slanted left. Pew Research Center did a study on it, and countless others. the Fairness Act is tryin to be passed by liberals FACT. do ur own search on it, im dont arguin with u.

[topher01]

Really? And where is that study? Cite it if it exists. As for the Fairness Doctrine, liberals don't want it any more than conservatives. Your right-wing programmers just tell you that crap because they want you wetting your pants about something and they're out of other material.

[caspianxth]

He's CLEARLY implying that he wished that Cheney had died and even if he did not, does the left give that kind of careful parsing of words from the right? No. Had anyone on the right said anything near what MAher said, they'd be crucified.

[yourmomaaa]

Like if some neocon said something like "[gays] should go and get AIDS and die" there'd be massive backlash?

Oh wait, Michael Savage said that and nothing happened.

[jefgain]

This is a pretty heady video. I need time to study what the hell they are saying, but regarding Michael Savage, he was fired from MSNBC immediately after his anti gay, sodemite, aids remarks.

[jefgain]

Savage lost his job from his sodemite, gay, aids comments.

[mill1548]

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering what Maher said. Now I see he was terribly misquoted by Coulter. The context of the debate is freedom of speech not the assassination of Cheney. The latter was merely the expression which Maher claimed was protected. Moreover, Maher never wished Cheney died in a terrorist plot as Coulter suggested on GMA. "If he did die, more people would live." Cheney could die of a multitude of things. He is not the poster boy of cardiac health.

[leoca]

that's the american way. sue sue sue. everything is about war in every form. how about this...EAT SHIT.

[Suz45]

"If he DID die,other people would live."

That is much different from saying "I wish Cheney had died". Even Coulter misquoted him,saying she had learned her "lesson" and in the future would say about John Edwards,"I wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot" since Bill got away with saying the same about Cheney.

[leoca]

if we're going to be so semantically technical like this and ignore what is actually being implied then we might as well NOT arrest those who adults who ask a minor out for coffee coz hey, they never actually say anything about sex. coffee, what's wrong with coffee? yeah right.

[Suz45]

Totally specious analogy,and designed to be inflammatory,so nice try.

When you are quoting someone,semantics and accuracy are crucial,because inferred meaning can turn on a word.

I believe that many would have lived had Cheney been killed on 9/11,and have no problem admitting it. Were you to turn that sentiment into my "wishing him dead",were I a public figure,I could and would successfully sue you for slander. Surely you are not this disingenuous.

[danauticaman]

That is a ridiculous stretch of logic to say that Maher implied that Cheney should die in a terrorist plot. The subject of the conversation was: Is it ethical for the Huffington Post to continue to include it on the site?

And for your minor comparision, pun intended, an adult would not get into trouble for just asking a minor out for coffee, there has to be some sexual context behind the asking out. It has to be a result of a sexual comment or conversation.

[skoupitsa]

"I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn't be dying needlessly tomorrow". Not being in power is not the same as being dead. I can see why you chose the other quote though. Bill is not advocating Cheney's death, nor his loss of power, he's stating a theoretical causal relationship. At no point does he say he wishes one would happen so the other would follow.

[leoca]

But the context of the discussion is his death.

[Suz45]

But he never said he "wished" Cheney had died,as has been misquoted,most famously by Ann Coulter.

[DefConservative]

"I'm just saying that if he did die, more people would live," then Maher immediately smiles. It wasn't verbatim, but I'm sure Maher wants more people to live.

Sounds like he said it to me. U lost.

[skoupitsa]

Oops, sorry, I thought I posted my comment below as a direct response to you. Please read it as such. I always post these as responses, so that you can be notified that I replied to you and we can have a dialogue. Many thanks.

[shineon112001]

Dick Cheney and his minnions don't seem to care that several thousands soldiers have died for their cause (consisting of 10 or 20 people) and it seems to those who have a brain that Bush doesn't run the ADMIN-Dick & Karl run it.All who have never fought in any war and yet they expect civilians to fight it for them.!!!Maybe if defcon spent more time researching why we are at war it maybe constructive!
