Bill Maher: Newt Gingrich 'Is a Professor of Idiocy' (Part 1)

[amici43]

name calling demeans everything

[guitarplayer30001]

Chris Matthews is annoying

[nybombs]

btw, wtf was that black hooded figure @ 6:06???

[jlove7723]

@nybombs That would be Satan.

[razerfish]

Maher thinks the recession was caused by deregulation? Oh, boy. And he has the gall to call anyone stupid?

[SpitfireOFatj]

@razerfish The recession WAS caused by deregulation. Specifically allowing normal consumer banks to play games with instruments they were prohibited from before, Then they lied about their actual viability to con investors and, knowing they were crap, had the nerve to bet they would fail.

[TheLalaGOD]

@razerfish You are stupid...

[bodzio4062]

Just remember that Bill Meyer still thinks that Brazil uses NO oil, only methanol. (Same as Obama talks about 57 states of America).

Notice how leftists switched on Arnold.He was LOVED when he was in power with administration full of leftists. Now, that he is gone... they ridicule him.

AS far as Bill-the-Moron Meyer. let him flap his lips, we need some breeze.

[Zentz29]

@bodzio4062 Are you Sarah Palin?

Your comment seems like something Sarah Palin would type.

[TheLalaGOD]

@Zentz29 the answer will be Yes....

[cloudshe]

bozo & ronald M trying to sound smart in front of their dumbass liberal fans. it's hard to believe how disgusting media folks will act for the paycheck

[cloudshe]

maher saying someone Else is ugly outside? newsflash: your Mom won't carry a picture of you in her wallet, maher

[TheLalaGOD]

@cloudshe your comment so uneducated...

[cloudshe]

@TheLalaGOD thank you for your insightful criticism. now go suck a lemon

[ex0duzz]

Are they payingn those people to stand in the background to listen to these two talking? Maher is funny and can be 'jew biased', but Mathews is an asshole.

[khunopie]

9 11 was an inside job. No planes. No terrorists. Controlled demolitions and missiles .WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO

[TheDrRJP]

What Maher said was stupid and insensitive Your liberal elitist spin on it is what was insulting. I've watched him since he started doing stand-up. I know all about Maher. He can be very funny when he wants to be. But, when he talks about anger f** king female politicians. he is being an asshole. No explanation needed.

[TheDrRJP]

Speaking about idiocy, right after the September 11th terrorist attacks, Maher mocked the U.S as being "more cowardly" than Al Qaeda for going after them with long-distance cruise missiles.

[dudesonman4200]

@TheDrRJP

I dont agree with Maher on everything, but seriously, you can understand where hes coming from. Just because that statement insults your big fat infallible supercountry doesnt automatically mean its wrong. Its very simple you see: bring a gun to a fistfight, and you will be called a coward. Another way to compare America's war on terror is to use the image of a bully kicking someone smaller in the balls. Still, no one is actually defending 9/11, they are just pointing out obviousness.

[deadshot1995]

@TheDrRJP That's a bit out of context. What happened was that people were calling the Al Qaeda attackers cowards, so Maher pointed out that they were brave enough to die for what they believed in, while America used long-distance cruise missiles from afar, which is technically the more cowardly thing to do.

[Bluzmann]

Bill, I think you would be much happier in a country that isn’t so childish. If you need any help with travel expenses let me know, I’ll pay for your plane fare.

[gonzo594]

The same way newt inpeached his wife when she had cancer

[tommym202]

@gonzo594 Yes. Inpeached. Ha!

[wiesonurcomix]

clinton kept you out of wars? ask some serbs if that's right.

maher is the very same hypocrite like gingrich, trump etc.

maher plays the left and liberals, like gingrich plays the right with his pandering.

at the end of the day, both parties do the very same politics, the only thing different is how they sell it. bush sen = clinton = bush jr = obama = gingrich

all are bought by lobbyists, don't serve the people but the corporate elites.

maher paints it like there is a choice... fuck him.

[34metrostation1]

fuck newt and mitt'

[aeorta5]

bill maher also made a leap of faith, whether you "like" newt or not, hes one of two in the g.o.p with a ph.d (next to ron paul) has written almost 20 books, and helped clinton balance the budget, but nevermind that, he wants america to expand globally, which is the opposite of what you want, so call him an idiot. im not even saying im voting for newt, he has plenty of skeletons in his closet. im just saying hes undercredited and hated by what i think people recognize as "intellectual hollywood"

[1supkillsbats1]

RON PAUL 2012!!!WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[JVProductLaunch]

Equating John Edwards to Newt Gingrich is one craaaaazy leap of logic and reality. For one, the "Newt asking his wife for a divorce" statement has been soundly proved false. So, for someone who claims to speak truth to power, Bill Maher sure does disqualify himself with that statement. John Edwards, like Herman Cain, tried to lie and deceive his way through en election. One is just a cheater and liar, the other is both plus the love child he tried to hide. The lying to the public is the issue.

[Ralfast]

And it was not a Grand Jury, but a deposition.

[MrMackd2112]

Try working a job that everything you do is paid for with every fucking perk in the world......and tell the person that hired you to fix the job....its not my fault, he left me with a shit pile...... they would fire your ass in a new york minute. I dont care if you are white ,black,purple,orange,democrat,­republican or whatever. Quit making excuses!

[MrMackd2112]

Newt Gingrich will make Obama look like a completely like the lost dog that he is when the debates come about. Lefties are scared of Newt. Can Obama actually get up every day(that he is not on vacation) look in the mirror and say that he is fixing shit. NO. If he was a CEO of a company, his ass would have been gone within a year.

[cinesimonj]

@MrMackd2112 In other words, you can't be bothered paying attention to what is going n, so you simply believe whatever Hannity or Limbaugh tell you.

[MrMackd2112]

What matters is that people need to quit trying to pick either parties candidate apart over needless personal bullshit. We ALL have done shit we regret! What matters is that we pick someone that has a frickin plan. All I heard for a solid year is "yes we can". Bullshit! Obama did not run on "well maybe I can" or " he didnt leave me a clean slate to work with". Who's going to fix it? So far I go by what I see...solyndra, john corzine,unemployment,fast and furious....the list goes on...

[cinesimonj]

@MrMackd2112 Wow - you are that lazy, aren't you?

[3eemy]

boy were they wrong , here comes the newt!

[MrMackd2112]

deeppurple28

I guess Bill Clinton being accused of rape, shoving a cigar up monicas twat in the oral office, and completely making a mockery of the White House.......really???? Liberals seem to get amnesia when it comes to their party leaders. Bill Maher is a fucking idiot. Chris Mathews is a babbling idiot as well. Not anyone on earth goes without mistakes. Not even Liberals....believe that or not..... Get your head out of your ass, and vote for someone that has a clue.

[politicalarticles]

@MrMackd2112 -- The difference between you and liberals is that you are hypocrites. Gingrich lead the Clinton impeachment while he was cheating on his wife with his secretary.

And please stop calling Mathews and Maher idiots -- because they are good at exposing your hypocrisy.

[JVProductLaunch]

@politicalarticles--Its important to remember...Clinton was not impeached for being an unfaithful husband. He was impeached for perjuring himself to a Grand Jury. How can citizens be expected to be held to laws when the highest office in the land isnt? That is why he was impeached. Not for diddling Monica. And frankly, who could blame him for diddling other women. Being unfaithful to your spouse knows no party lines. But...you cant lie to a Grand Jury. Sorry.

[Ralfast]

@JVProductLaunch : After the investigation that uncovered it call for it to be dropped. You can't also torture people, invade other nations on false pretense and commit war crimes, yet no one has been prosecuted for that, even when they go on television and brag about it. They simply picked something and went with it, a crime that even most prosecutors don't bother with other than to threaten witness to keep them straight.

[JVProductLaunch]

@Ralfast --Soooooooooooooo....Clinton lied to a Grand Jury. We agree.

(And yes...I agree with you about your Kosovo issue.)

[Ralfast]

@JVProductLaunch : Kosovo, who the hell is talking about Kosovo? And no he lied in a deposition. Reagan lied to a Grand Jury and on the stand with all that "I don't recall stuff."

[JVProductLaunch]

@Ralfast -- You stated that we cannot "invade other nations on false pretense and commit war crimes", and "yet no one has been prosecuted for that, even when they go on television and brag about it." You were talking about Kosovo, right?

[Sirafrican]

@politicalarticles

Want to know how to offend a republican? Tell them a lie.

Want to know how to offend a democrat? Tell them the truth....

[Mozart1220]

@Sirafrican Wow, that was clever. Completely wrong, butmildly clever.

[Sirafrican]

@Mozart1220 Lol political jokes, I seen that one in a book .

[Mozart1220]

@Sirafrican You SAW that in a book. Try a grammar book.

[cloudshe]

@politicalarticles that's crap. they are good at making money through comedic, inaccurate, thinly disguised slander poorly disguised as commentary, M O N E Y !

[TheLalaGOD]

@cloudshe inaccurate? really? Just like FOX News?

[maletero37]

Partisan, out of context and without merit. This is awful. Maher usually has good ideas, but he has no clue what he's talking about.

You can't form a coherent opinion if you ONLY listen to the people you agree with.

[ProductionMarx]

@MrMackd2112 People need to realize that parties don't matter. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!!!! There are good hearted, intelligent, hard working civil servants on both sides, and there are sleezebag fascists on both sides. The 1% runs the world and controls ALL politicans. There are only two parties so they can call America a democracy.

[BrettSchall]

@MrMackd2112 Rawr rawr rawr. Blah blah blah...blah. Meow. Nuff said.

[cinesimonj]

@MrMackd2112 You actually think consensual sex is worse than advocating and carrying out the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Muslims, don't you kiddo?

[Sirafrican]

@MrMackd2112 I vote you for president =)

[MTVVH1sucks]

@MrMackd2112 I don't care who the president is fucking just as long as it's not the country. I'm sure G.W.B never fucked around on his wife while he was in the white house but he did fuck the economy hahahaha

[Mozart1220]

@MrMackd2112 Key word being "accused".  I will take your advice though, which means I will not be voting for you or anyone else on the right.

[nybombs]

@MrMackd2112 owned, hahahaha!

[DoubleTalkingJive]

@MrMackd2112 The Clinton rape accusations were recanted by the woman herself decades ago.

And it's a choice between a President who shoves cigars up twats and your ex-boyfriend who sat in a Kindergarten class while two planes crashed into the Twin Towers, then turned around and invaded the WRONG COUNTRY...yeah I'll take Clinton for a third term for 400, Alex...

[frankielee77]

Why Bill and Chris made a mockeries out of themselves,using twisted logic,and and suppose it is fun,when those issues of the POTUS is a serious business?Obviously,liberals like them enjoys fooling others and cannot reason with sanity.

[darezaa]

They spent a good minute breaking down how he is just "soooo stupid" and then everything they say from 4:50 to 6:00 is just obvious war propaganda and complete opinion. Their jokes actually just misinform people and are either incorrect or vague and not backed with any sort of source. I hate listening to Bill Maher especially in this case because HE is the real PROFESSOR of idiocy (teaching idiotic concepts to those who don't get information from more factual sources), Newt is just a puppet.

[deeppurple28]

Funny how Herman Cain was ousted from the race for Infidelity and sexual accusations! Yet Newt the Immoral cunt was diddling his secretary during his first Marriage! You are pathetic Newt!!

[johnnycmajor]

newt=thieve liar womanizer I would not have my kids anywhere near him or donald trump

[dicemanace]

Talk about big heads how do they hold those things up there hugh.

[jmnage]

Bill Maher thinks he's really intelligent. Unfortunately he's nothing but a populist dimwit.

[nbarrett100]

@jmnage "populist"??? He hates religion and wants drugs to be legal. Is that popular?

[BrocTheMagnifico]

@nbarrett100 You clearly don't understand what populism is. Populism is an ideology that favors the rights of individuals over that of elite institutions... by definition, being against drug laws and religiously-inspired laws is a form of populism.

Take a course in gov, or you know, read books. Either one.

[nbarrett100]

@BrocTheMagnifico Well in Britian it means pandering to opinion polls.

is this populist? /watch?v=NBzYSUI5_GM

[JVProductLaunch]

Obama didnt kill Bin Laden, Maher. Navy SEALs did. The same ones who are part of the same machine that has been hunting him for years. Lonnnnng before Obama was on the scene.

[DemonWizzard]

@JVProductLaunch Under Obama's watch. You know how it goes... The Boss is responsible for everything his employees do, whether The Boss was personally involved or not.

[JVProductLaunch]

@DemonWizzard Well it would be nice if that logic was applied evenly across the board, huh? So Bin Laden happened under Obama's watch so he's responsible for that, BUT every single piece of economic nightmare that goes on right now under Obama's watch is somehow laid on Bush's doorstep. And that somehow even applies to decisions/bills that are SOLELY Obama's. Its laughable.

[DemonWizzard]

@JVProductLaunch Obama seems unwilling to say the bold things:

End marijuana prohibition (for starters).

Dissolve or take over the Federal Reserve. (Why allow the Federal Reserve to print free money and instantly create new debt, when all the government has to do is take over the printing presses and PRINT the money they need to fund projects instead of expecting citizens to pay for it with labor-earned taxes. If money is going to be printed, why allow it to immediately turn into debt?)

[JVProductLaunch]

Im surprised the stage didnt collapse from the combined weight of both of these mens inflated egos. At least Maher can SOMETIMES hold his own. Chris gets intellectually housed on a regular basis.

[spader49]

Maher is pure wrong on this: Newt is a bright guy, and was a professor of history, he has a PHD. A lot more than you can say about Bill.

Newt does brilliant as usually in the youtube video:

At Iowa Forum, Newt Gingrich Discusses His Plan to Boost American Manufacturing

[politicalarticles]

@spader49 -- Maher is a professor of comedy -- and he does his stuff way better than scam artist Leroy Gingrich does his history.

[spader49]

@politicalarticles 'a professor of comedy' give me a break. Because comedy is a great academic background for intellectual debate and knowledge, to be sure, it ranks high up there with gender and African american studies. He should stick to it, being a clown and a dogmatic left-wing nut.

Gingrich is an actual holder of a PHD, and spent years as the speaker of the House, if all you can say against him is tu quoque empty rhetoric about Clinton and him, then you're not saying anything valuable.

[politicalarticles]

@spader49 -- Newton Leroy 'Newt' Gingrich, a scam artist extraordinaire, is a hopeless bigot, an Islamophobe and a "family values" hypocrite.

In 1995, Gingrich told a room full of reporters that he forced the government shutdown because Clinton had rudely made him and Bob Dole sit at the back of Air Force One.

Trust me, that "PhD" did this fat, cockamamie charlatan no good.

[spader49]

@politicalarticles All the things you broached are logical fallacies, all ad hominem. I always make a serious effort to debunk bad policies, not bad people.

Gingrich is against runaway spending, and is very much on the free-market side. That's the real reason he forced Clinton to balance the budget, who didnt mind taking credit for it, the surplus. Not your Airforce 1 liberal mythology. He's honest about Islam and its extremism and lack of democracy. Clinton was the one impeached.

[politicalarticles]

@spader49 -- Your Newt is a delusional, egomaniacal, spotlight-chasing goon to whom the sensible American majority would never entrust a "lemonade stand."

Even your stupid teabaggers -- would rather have crotch-grabber Herman Cain lead the shit parade rather than Gingrich -- whose history of dung-throwing and Yahoo politics is well known.

Ginrich is SCAM. A useless maggot!

[spader49]

@politicalarticles There are many reasonable centre-left people out there, I used to be one of them; cant say I think you are. You sound like a borderline democrat equivalent to Sarah Palin, but of course you don't think that. Notice how everything you said is extreme ad hominem (teabagger etc) its what religious fanatics do to athiests.

Look up Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman and Victor davis hanson on youtube for some real scholars, not Maher, who is funny but not a serious commentator.

[politicalarticles]

@spader49 -- Your admiration of the "brilliance" of a cockamamie far-right charlatan like Gingrich -- makes you "equivalent" to Sarah Palin. Not Me!

I treat all snakes (Republicans) the same -- with a billy club in the hand.

[spader49]

@politicalarticles look up those people I recommended, its worth while.

[grisflyt]

@spader49 Milton Friedman, the kook who stated who like to state the obvious, like, “redistribution is not production.” Duh! Not to mention that he’s the architect of the current financial meltdown. What a guy.

[spader49]

@grisflyt Even left-wing economists like Krugman regard friedman as one of the greatest economists and minds of all time. Obama uses a lot of what Friedman thought of, like monetarism. Friedman also debunked many of Keynes' views (Liquidity trap etc) and came up with his own theories, like 'the natural rate of unemployment'. He also won the nobel prize in economics. So perhaps you calling him 'kook' says a lot more about you than him. The state in fact started the sub-prime crisis.

[spader49]

@grisflyt Have you changed you mind about calling Friedman a 'kook'?

[Gibson29]

Bachmann is the candidate for people who find Palin too intellectual. HAAAAAAH

[Qermaq]

What if it was the Devil? Hmm. That means the person asked must be convinced of a gnostic theistic reality. If I were so convinced, then I would accept that prophecy is being fulfilled and must allow it to live. But that's a fairy tale. No wonder the stupid scratch their heads.

[blahk04]

6:05 smoke monster flies by on left side.

[2001Horatio]

Yes you can compartmentalize in 'adult countries' - America needs to grow up.

[DaringNonconformer]

Newt is a turd and needs to be flushed

[sanitariumsixString]

Bill Maher for President!

[obaidCarkey]

@sanitariumsixString

bill maher is a filthy zionist!

he critisizes everybody and everything except ariel sharon and netanyahu!

[butterflybloom1]

What is Chris saying. Arnold is both a cheat and adulterer as well as a horrible governor. To compare Pres. Clinton to Arnold shwarzenegar is a terrible insult. And Clinton didn't impregnate the household help

[prooc]

@butterflybloom1 Yeah he just cheated on his wife with dozens of women. Big difference asshole.

[butterflybloom1]

@prooc It wasn't doesn't of women and like I said Clinton didn't impregnate any of them including the household help like Arnold. What a hypocrite, asshole

[uisme2]

Hilarious, some of Bills best work.

[DWest512]

is that castro over bill's right shoulder at 2:20?

[mrjackjones123]

@DWest512 no its your mum

[shatner99]

don't like that girl's hat behind Bill.

[TKDMike58]

Newt - FAILURE - complete and utter FAILURE
