Bill Maher: Republican Base Must Not Criticize Casey Anthony Jury Given Their Own Gullibility

[PhoenixAngel429]

Well he left out the panhandling to the Bible thumps, that is what keeps the GOP going. Cut education too so they won't see what they are doing.

[PhoenixAngel429]

They never said where they are creating the job. I wish I got the channel this was on.

[tugger]

Maher equivocates corporatism and capitalism way too much. Companies don't issue dividends, corporations do. So he's criticizing capitalism on behalf of the faults of corporatism, which are mutually exclusive contexts. He makes the point that Bush cut federal taxes too much at once though.

[Turtleman7007]

PERFECT analogy

[marezeatoats]

Correction: was not

[marezeatoats]

Love Bill,but I disagree with the analogy with Anthony case.Jury said not guilty.I don't like being morbid,but when a body is too decomposed that the manner of death or cause of death can be determined,how can anyone be convicted of murder?Certainly not because someone"feels it in their bones"Case was not provabable,Nancy.

[ult01]

I love this guy.

[goldenbuckles]

Bill.................just shut up...............and tell someone that cares...I am not rep or dem.....and when I listen to all the crap I do not wonder why we are all messed up....

[orange105]

@goldenbuckles The crap is coming from the insurance companies, the rich, the banks, and the politicians. Thank god there are people who call these people out. It is AMERICAN to call out these corporations and say hey...maybe when you are a billionaire you don't NEED a tax break

[beatonm198]

@goldenbuckles If you can't understand why he's right, then politics really isn't for you. He's got a lot to say, and hes exactly right, regardless of your political affiliations.

[ellenhg45]

Umm, Bill I know you are speaking to most of the Republican base but I register Republican to vote for Ron Paul in primaries. And from other videos, Bill seems to like Ron Paul.

I just wish Bill would cover corrupt or inconsistent Democrats as often.

LMAO, this is hilarious. Even if you don't agree with him, you have to give him props for the jokes.

[xxthejacklxx]

all you guys know is ... "I am a democrat...republican bad. Hate on republican cause funny tv star say so." While republicans say "I am republican...democrat bad. Hate on democrats cause I am republican."

Stop choosing a side and hating a side just cause of what you see on tv. I bet if you didn't ever watch Bill Maher, your opinions on everything would be different. Not insinuating that you would become republican. But TV is just a influential box of people with money. understand that.

[bennyv04988]

@xxthejacklxx Maher is presenting a sound argument here that would stand in any medium. Words are words, TV has nothing to do with it.

[tgrigsby7]

That's not fair.

Not the part about working class Republicans being a pack of drooling morons -- that part is dead on -- but the Casey Anthony jurors did what they were instructed to do and, based on a weak prosecution, declared Casey not guilty.

The pathetic Faux News koolaid-drinking Republitards, on the other hand, have no excuse...

[eilier]

The Founding Fathers of every ''free'' country are ALWAYS liberals, liberalism creates democracy and that's clear, while Bill really enjoys playing the devil's advocate, conservatives are convinced that he's a ferocious liberal and ferocious liberals are convinced he's an unreconstructed conservative . . . I think he's nether

[tharock220]

Bush had record low unemployment numbers. It would kill Maher to say cut spending and let people keep more of what they ear.

[axldominguez]

@tharock220 oh. hey i dont know, maybe because Bush left in 2008 and the recession began in 07

[SpitfireOFatj]

@tharock220 "Bush had record low unemployment numbers"

Is that what they're saying at FOX "News"?

The Wall Street Journal disagrees. In fact, they say he had the WORSE jobs record of any President in history.

But then, Republicans claim the government can't create jobs.

Then again, they also claimed it was treason to criticize the Commander In Chief in a time of war.

But only if it's a Republican Commander In Chief....

[robertoinfinite10]

@SpitfireOFatj White Commander in Chief*

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 "Bush had record low unemployment numbers."

Did you live under a rock for 8 years? Unemployment rose consistently through GWB's reign in office.

[tharock220]

@kaysandesses Nope. Bush kept unemployment below 6% for all but about 5 months of his presidency. How many months has Obama had unemployment below 6%.

See, I can make the numbers say what I want just as easily as Bill Maher.

Liberals are too concerned with Maher wanting them to get the rich's money to see that the point he's making just isn't there. Neither party has a distinct edge over the other in unemployment, but you guys bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Next.

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 Oh look, another fucking right wing moron brainwashed by the Fox Noise machine. The unemployment rate climbed 3.7% while "President" Bush was in office. UE rate was ~4% when Bush assumed office and it climbed constantly throughout his "Presidency". Like every good thing he inherited from Clinton, he fucked it up. He was given a golden egg by Clinton, and left a big shiny turd for Obama.

[tharock220]

@kaysandesses No, Clinton actually left Bush with a recession. I asked how many months has it been below 6% under Obama. I'm waiting for an answer.

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 Try and keep up retrograde: I stated that UE rose throughout Bush's "Presidency". Nothing you have posted contradicts my statement.

[astraia1x]

@kaysandesses

lol, you weren't kidding. it took about 5 seconds..

[kaysandesses]

@astraia1x ha ha ha .... have fun!

[KataVideo]

@tharock220 childish, nonsensical argument. everything Obama has done has been to stop the bleeding from the damage from the bush illegal reign of corporate terror. 

[classicallady]

@kaysandesses He is a fucking libertardian...just like the other kleptoparasite Ayn Rand. The whore from Russia who slept with men for money.

[kaysandesses]

@classicallady I'm still laughing at the fact that every time "tharock220" posts he proves Maher to be correct. He does this by regurgitating right wing talking points and continuing to insist he's right even when proven wrong. That's quite a formula for success! Fucking hilarious.

[gritzschke]

@tharock220 I believe you have that backwards, The first 5 months of Bush Unemployment was below 6%, Then it kept going up and up, and the last 6 months of his term we teetered on the brink of another great depression, Terri Schiavo actually has a better thinking process than todays Republicans and the so called Tea baggers, She is actually more qualified to be President than any af the republican candidates they have standing on the soap box in Iowa

[classicallady]

@kaysandesses I believe he is advocating against Van Gogh's decision.

[KataVideo]

@kaysandesses not only that, but for every job lost in America during bush's illegal reign of corporate terror, China gained a job.

[kaysandesses]

@KataVideo The typical American consumer and our throw away society shares blame IMO. Most people want it cheap regardless of the greater consequences. That said, the jobs trend is starting to turn slightly. The standard of living has increased dramatically in China due to all our fucking money going there and the Chinese workers are demanding better wages and working conditions. This caused Chinese corp's to be less competitive and some U.S. corp's are already bringing jobs back home.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 These were tax CUTS meaning the rich were paying more before the cuts went into effect. Now the country needs that money that they were ALREADY paying and they're fighting this kicking and screaming.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Let someone come to your house and take what you work to earn and see if you don't fight kicking and screaming.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 Psh the Govt already takes enough of what I earn...what planet do YOU live on? REPEALING TAX CUTS, not RAISING TAXES. Learn to read.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 There's no difference.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 If you're not going to listen to reason, I'm going to assume you're a right-winger and ignore you. Some people wouldn't know a fact if it dick slapped them.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Ignore me then. Repealing tax cuts is an increase in taxes. The Bush tax cuts applied to every bracket. So go ahead and champion the idea that everyone's taxes should go up. Otherwise your just another liberal who looks at the wallets of others and says gimme.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 And you're a champion of the Rich right who backs them up even though the wealthy elite of this country is what is tearing it apart. Just curious, do you make more than $250 k a year?

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 No I don't make $250k/year, and I probably never will. It doesn't change the fact that I don't feel the wealthy, who already pay more than half of income taxes, should pay more because you think the government owes you health insurance or some company thinks the government owes them a huge contract.

Complain about they poor a little. Most of them get back all the money they pay in back. How are the rich not paying enough if those people aren't paying enough???

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 Then who are you speaking for? You said it yourself you will never be a part of this elite click...It's not about giving handouts to people its about getting the deficit down so that the country doesn't default on all the debt your President Bush accrued in office by giving tax cuts to his buddy during war time.

You obviously don't know about the tax bracket system. The more you make the more you pay. That's how it's ALWAYS been.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 I'm speaking from a rational point of view. Bush have tax cuts to EVERYBODY. The marginal taxes before the "Bush tax cuts" that everybody hates were higher for every bracket, but you only want to rescind them on the wealthy. Why?? Because like all liberals you want to solve problems with other people's money.

As for the debt accrued by Bush, well say something about Obama for being the only president to ever have a trillion dollar plus deficit.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 Yea you rightwingers are all the same. Bush rolled a snowball down a mountain and now you blame Obama for the avalanche! LOL. Pathetic. How about LIKE I SAID Bush starting TWO WARS we can't afford and then cutting his friend's taxes??? And I HAVE NEVER SAID NOT TO REPEAL >MY< tax cuts. I'll contribute! Albeit it won't be as much as say a Bill Gates!!! Get your head out of the sand.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Yeah, that's right. Obama's stimulus failed because of Bush. Oh yeah it didn't fail. It didn't snap us out of the recession like Obama said it would in 2009 it kept us from another Great Depression like Obama said it did in 2010.

You think I'm supporting Bush's policies. I bitch all the time about starting two wars and not getting rid of the tax cuts which were meant to give back the surplus of 2001.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 LMAO dude - you just got done arguing that the rich should keep their tax cuts...After you argued that it wasn't REAPLING TAX CUTS, but RAISING TAXES. lol You need to go argue with yourself from earlier because you seem confused...

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Poe-Tay-Toe, Poe-Tah-Toe, I want all tax cuts made permanent and less military and social spending to go with it. It's my money, I earned it, and I want to keep it. I don't have this double standard you have seem to possess where the only people who deserve to keep what they earn are people who aren't wealthy. Repealing a tax cut is the same thing as a tax hike.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 You make way too many uneducated assumptions. Fox tells you that people removed from the Right just want handouts and free money and want to punish the rich. No. We want the rich to stop being greedy and pay their fucking fair share now that the country needs them! Patriotism is a double edged sword, guy!

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 The wealthy already pay the majority of taxes in the country. You're the one who wants them to pay more because YOU don't want to, but somehow they're the ones who are greedy. They earned what they have not you. Stop being bitter or jealous because you're not rich. Either be happy with what you have or try working to improve things for yourself.

You may have never said don't repeal my tax cuts, but your constant harping on the rich gives it away.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 Dude, Learn to READ. If they raised my taxes BACK to what they were before, it will come out to a few grand a year. If they do that to the rich, it would in be the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS to MILLIONS. See my point? It won't hurt me, but these greedy fucks have enough money to afford MILLIONS in taxes and they're fighting this thing that could help save their country? Sorry but you're a narrow minded idiot fighting for those who don't care if you end up in a bread line.

[kaysandesses]

@robertoinfinite10 in reply to tharock220: "Sorry but you're a narrow minded idiot fighting for those who don't care if you end up in a bread line."

Classic! Well said.

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Oh, so because they can afford it and you can't they should have to pay more. Like I said, fixing problems with other people's money is a liberal thing. I'm fighting to keep taxes low for everybody or raise taxes for everybody. We all benefit from what this country has to offer we all should have an equal share in paying for it.

[astraia1x]

@tharock220

your analysis is severely flawed because not everyone in this country has equal opportunity to attain lavish heights. when are you going to face reality? when will you understand that those who can afford to pay more and still live a lavish lifestyle should pay more?

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 "I'm fighting to keep taxes low for everybody or raise taxes for everybody."

I'll admit you have some ideas that aren't all bad. However, your knowledge of the history behind these issues is paltry indeed. The Bush Tax Cuts gave the wealthy TWICE the tax cut that was given to the middle class. As I've shown previously, even after these tax cuts (which right wingers claim creates job), unemployment continued to rise through Bush's term in office.

[tharock220]

@kaysandesses Actually between the signing of JGTRRA and the 04 election unemployment had dropped a percentage point. What your saying is demonstrably wrong.  The only thing I take issue with is the capital gains tax cut. It's flat out wrong to expect someone to pay a higher percentage of what they earn than you yourself are willing to pay.

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 "What your saying is demonstrably wrong. "

Demonstrably, eh? Don't use big words that you don't understand. It only makes you look dumber. According to the BOL stat's, UE was 4% when Bush assumed office, and 7.7% when he left. More jobs were created during the Clinton admin each year than Bush did in 8 years.

What's most humorous about our exchange is that every time you post you prove Maher's assertion that the right wing is full of gullible fools. HA HA HA HA HA

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 "We all benefit from what this country has to offer we all should have an equal share in paying for it"

The wealthy should pay a higher percentage because they benefit more from the services provided by tax money. These are mainly infrastructure services (public roads, airports, utilities, etc.). The man working for $10/hour gains little or no benefit beyond having clean water to drink and a flush toilet.

[tharock220]

@kaysandesses That's the benefit we all pay for. Public roads are paid for in taxes before they're built and are equally accessible to everyone. Railroads and aiports cost money to use. Infrastructure is there to supply what's needed. Don't punish a guy because he has the initiative to make greater use of it so he can make money.

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 Poor people don't use infrastructure to make fortunes. Rich business owners do. They use the roads, railroads, etc. to move raw materials and finished products to market. They use a greater proportion of infrastructure and should accordingly pay more.

You lose AGAIN dumbass.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 "Oh, so because they can afford it and you can't they should have to pay more."

That's what tax brackets dictate, dummy - so YES. They SHOULD have to pay more.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 you and people like you are really sad. You're sheep that the rich wealthy elite have groomed to hate the things that THEY hate. They don't want to pay their fair share of taxes but they want a smaller government? You know what "smaller government" really means? Less oversight. Less scrutiny. More money. More taking advantage of migrant labor, shoddy working conditions, polluting our country, taking our money, shipping jobs overseas. I guess if you can't beat them join them, huh?

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 Oversight??? Lol, how can someone be so whoafully uninformed. Government spending basically goes two three things, the military, social security, and medicare/medicaid. So that oversight is an insignificant piece of the government pie. I'm not a sheep for anybody. I feel people are entitled to keep as much of what they EARN as possible.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 Yeah oversight - Laws, agencies like the EPA, the ADA, the USDA, OSHA, as well as law enforcement that would watch over these greedy ass companies who would rape your mother and break her piggybank if they could get away with it. It's not insignificant as you would think. The Tea Party is digging their own grave without knowing it while the Fat Cats side on the sidelines drinking lemonade and cheering them on. SO u're AGAINST repealing the tax cuts again? Jesus read your last post...

[tharock220]

@robertoinfinite10 lol, first of all the USDA isn't regulatory or oversight. It's an executive branch. Either way, what you're talking about is such a small part of the US budget that it hardly matters. The problem with you people is you can't see past what your party tells you you want, and since Obama has told you we need this, this, and this and we have to pay for it this way it's what you want. You haven't even thought to investigate the matter yourself.

[kaysandesses]

@tharock220 "lol, first of all the USDA isn't regulatory or oversight. It's an executive branch."

lol, once again you're talking out of your ass, without any real facts or knowledge. What's really sad is that you're too lazy, or lack the integrity to find accurate information. The USDA has a whole section on their site discussing regulations:

"Regulations and directives are developed by USDA to ensure compliance with all relevant federal laws, executive orders, directives, and policies."

[tharock220]

@kaysandesses No, the USDA's primary job is to provide services to farmers. Very little of it is regulatory. Regulator agencies don't get $100 billion.

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 dude you're grasping at straws. I can't buy your argument that "we" should keep "more of what we earn" when the argument is not whether or not we should be taxed at ALL, but whether or not the Tax CUTS that Bush put into effect should be UNDONE because the country is in trouble financially. You still haven't put up a good reason and you're failing. These tax cuts were supposed to create jobs, yet these companies are reaping record profits and unemployment is up. Make some sense. Jeez

[wolfshead56]

@tharock220 I find it interesting that people who support tax cuts for the wealthy always mention the amount of tax the pay as a percentage of what is paid but never seem to mention how much wealth those same people control. How big a deal is paying half the tax if they control 90% of the wealth?

[robertoinfinite10]

@tharock220 And repealing tax cuts is NOT an increase. Jesus get some sense.

[astraia1x]

@tharock220

the rethugs keep stating jobs comes with lower taxes. WHERE ARE THE JOBS? Americans are enjoying the lowest tax rates in 50+ years... WHERE ARE THE JOBS THE RETHUGS PROMISED???

the rethugs conducted their campaigns in the run-up to the 2010 mid-terms with promises to bring JOBS to AMERICANS... WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

[HorseshitDetector]

Coulter was a nutbar during the entire show. She claimed government job holders were sucking the economy dry (the dude from The Nation neatly pointed out that half a million federal jobs have been CUT since Obama took office). She even claimed we could fight "37 Iraq wars" with the money paid out as Social Security in just one year. SS payouts currently stand at $750 billion, so the Iraq war cost is $20 billion? We spend that much just on air conditioning for the troops each year. She's nuts.

[SpitfireOFatj]

@HorseshitDetector To put it in perspective, that $20 billion for just for AC for the troops is more than the budget for NASA.

Hey EWILLIES, thanks for editing out all of Ann Coulter's crazy outbursts!

[rodeo179]

Obama is all about rhetoric. He should stop being hypocrite. It was Obama who extended Bush's taxes. It was Obama who bailed out Wall Street. If Obama was sincere, it would show on paper - be more practical than symbolic

[donnyforte2]

@rodeo179 Uhm, Republicans held unemployment benefits hostage to insure the extension of their Bush tax cuts. And the bailout was thanks to Bush's signature.

[rodeo179]

@donnyforte2 - one can always find justification and excuses to rationalize the politics of his leader. I am sure Bush/republican supporters have their own rationales. The fact is that Obama has extended the policies of Bush -- acknowledged by analysts, his own party members, Bill Maher, etc. The Republicans were not going to give away their billionaires, so of course they would hold something hostage - but that does not excuse Obama's neglect of his party.

[donnyforte2]

@rodeo179 "The fact is that Obama has extended the policies of Bush"

I don't understand how you say it's obvious that republicans are holding certain issues hostage (below), and then say it's Obama extending policies that Republicans are responsible for installing (like extending Bush tax cuts).

[ecks2elev2]

@rodeo179 bush signed the first bail out. this is common knowledge. Obama had to clean up bushes mess.

[rodeo179]

@ecks2elev2 - he should have said that while Obama was a candidate. "Since I will be cleaning the mess and Republicans will hold certain issues "hostage", don't expect 'change'. I will be no different than Bush or other Republicans."  Obama will say anything to get elected and move up the ladder. Compare candidate Obama with President Obama - the latter is more like Bush II. a common knowledge to those who follow politics.

[donnyforte2]

@rodeo179 What good from admitting the obvious?

[ecks2elev2]

@rodeo179 he doesnt have to say th at. You tell me, how much time does it take to clean up a destroyed economy that took many years in the making. It puzzles me why you expect more from Obama than any other president. hmmmmmmmmm
