What in the world is Bill talking about? Does he not understand that colbert doesn't ACTUALLY represent the right that it's pure satire and Jon actually DOES represent the left (i.e. it is NOT balanced).
and where is Maher's support for the Reason Rally on March 24th on the national mall? He and others like him should be promoting the hell out of this.
I wonder if Maher knows that Jon Stewart was kind of joking. He just wanted a rally to show people that there are people out there who are liberal or just not crazy and extreme who do care about this country. A lot of the time you just see the crazy fox news guys. I respect Jon much more then maher, in fact I'm not capitalizing his name. Jon doesn't have to be rude or fight with the republicans to prove his point too. Bill can be quite rude.
Maher is wrong. You don't have to pick one set of doctrine or the other, and people who HAVE picked a doctorine are not your enemy. That was Stewart's point, from my perspective, and Maher seems to have missed it.
I say that people just watch too much tv. You know after Obama I think its safe to say tht its all bullshit. Either people have a serious revelution. Like Syria. Where people are fucken dying. The gov is kidnapping from your hospital bed. Your getting gunned down while marching. Really voting is b.s. either go all balls out. Or...... Fuck it. Shut off the t.v play with your kids. Never ever give $ to a politician. Pick up a hobby, hell maybe smoke some grade a pot. But you know I found out.
Well, I think both Bill and Jon have points. :P Maher has a point that comparing Obama to Hitler and comparing Bush to a war criminal are not equivalent comparisons. Being a war criminal isn't as bad as being Hitler. However, I think Jon, more than anything, was trying to get the American people to restore faith in themselves. To get up and do something and not get caught in a Republican/Democratic dichotomy. Once this was done, surely they'd be better able to see the discrepancies in both
@RedneckRapper10 One may be as radical as you want, but I sure haven't seen anything as tragic and ridiculous as all those right-wing religious nuts who are running to represent the - still - most powerful country in the world, without having a clue of what rationality means or - even worse - deliberately fakin it to get redneck votes, backed up by that hate-spilling, fact-distorting bullshit factory that right-wing journalism is. You may want to reconsider your position.
@gabrieleprotopapa Don't worry I'm not a radical republican. I don't really consider myself a republican at all. However, a lot of liberals are convinced that conservatives are just a bunch of religious nuts. That mindset is JUST AS HARMFUL to the country as the whole "democrats are socialists" mindset of the far right. Liberals have become far too arrogant and maybe that's the right wing nuts' fault but everybody, including liberals, needs to listen more and stop yelling and judging.
Excellent criticism of the notion of "equivalency" in the media and its consequences, with special reference to the way that the well-intentioned can be suckered by it, using the message of Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear led by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert of the Daily Show as an example.
I think Bill missed the point . I don't think Stewart and Colbert were trying to say that our politicians need to work together more. They know they are all corrupt.

It's a trick from the MSM and politicians to keep the populace fighting each other while the 1% continues to rape the middle class. Tea party or occupy, doesn't matter.
Sorry, Bill, but Keith Olberman once used Harry Truman as a positive example... that's not acceptable if you ask me. We can never forget that Truman was the one who authorized secret weapon programs and later ordered the use of nuclear weapons on two heavily populated cities. He also invaded Korea without even consulting congress once, and now we're still wasting time and money there to this day. Clearly, Keith Olberman is not any better than a sly conman like Glenn Beck...
You just can't give us a break, can you Bill? Or is it that your Zionist brethren won't let you?
The truth is that the Republicans are indeed corrupt, but they do have moderates; we call ourselves LIBERTARIANS
And we want our freedoms back without imposing our views on anybody. Truth is, that most of your liberal hack friends aren't interested in liberty or a free society; what they're really into is welfare and authoritarian government. Why don't you address that for once, you hypocrite...
@melbyRick Libertarians like practically everyone in the GOP, including Collins and Snowe are not moderates they're radicals. Liberals are not into authoritarian Government and you will have to explain just why welfare is so sinister, particularly since no one wants to fall into a safety net because it means the structure they have been living in, has collapsed.
@Meade556 Well, first of all, if freedom and Liberty are what you call *radical*... then I guess Libertarians are radicals. The Founding Fathers were too. In a world full of kings, dictators and robber barons, of course a free society is a radical thing. And yes, Liberals today are total Authoritarians. They want to use the government to do everything, solve every problem and regulate every activity, they want it to perform all services. That's no different from fascism, honestly.
@melbyRick Jonah Goldberg may right that in his book but that does not stop him from being wrong. The Washington Administration imposed a higher tax regime than the British and robber barons were very much the product of a libertarian world. Liberals do not necessarily favor more regulation, they tend to favor regulation which clinches the upward redistribution of income and favors consumers.
@Meade556 Welfare is the most sinister idea in modern society. It takes the place of charity, and it abolishes choice and responsibility. It steals money from people via taxes, and chooses arbitrarily who to give it to. It makes the people dependent upon their government and indifferent to each other. It is dehumanizing.
@melbyRick Look on a dollar bill, you will see the seal of the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve, the Government issues the money, it is their's to tax and as a result not theft. Oh and private charity was just so effective, which is why the 19th century was better than the current one and nobody ever suffered in the Great Depression
@Meade556 Whatever... I can't even argue with you, because it's painfully obvious that you've done insufficient reading and you have no idea what you're talking about. Read "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat, or "The Monetary Sin of the West"... or "Gold, Peace and Prosperity"... do some research, and you'll know that paper money is a whore's currency and part of all our problems. You'll never mention the Federal Reserve in polite conversation again, either. Goodbye.
@melbyRick You will have to explain how it is that I have no idea what I am talking about especially since from 1933-1973 there were no major problems with the economic system, when we broke from that then we had problems and without the banking system, we would not nearly be as wealthy as we are.
It's been about a year since the Rally to Restore Sanity and Maher's been proven right. The Rally failed to "restore" anything. Left and right are as polarized as ever. Meanwhile, Occupy Wall St has stopped new bank fees, taken away thousands of big bank customers, and started a worldwide movement. And the Tea Party, "insane" as they are, WON the 2010 election. Results don't come from Stewart's Kumbaya philosophy. It comes from people on the fringe getting angry and making noise.
You think the Occupy Wall Street Movement will achieve much in the long run? It will be over and forgotten sooner or later. Face it, the revolution is not coming.
@Wintermute01001 But don't you think, that that was the idea of the whole rally in the first place. Stewart at his end speech talked about how America is not the government or media, but t is the people who live in it. And he talked about how different people can achieve shared goals. I am sure, that both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall St. movements have different people in them with different views, but they still have a common goal.
@Wintermute01001 I don't know if Stewart's speech was given to bring about change or produce results. I feel as if it was more of a rallying cry to let moderates(on both sides) within the electorate know, you're not alone and you don't have to play by their rules. You can disagree but you can coexist without any real contempt or disrespect for each other. Both sides seem to be crabs in a barrel and a lot of us don't want to dive in with them. Should've been "remain sane" not "restore sanity"
Bill Maher doses realize than quite few notable climate scientists dispute the greenhouse effect theory as the reason of Global Warming? well more than quite a few.
@98raza20 Name a few. The only scientists who dispute the "greenhouse effect" are paid off by ExxonMobil. By the way, without the "greenhouse effect" the Earth would be frozen solid. The "greenhouse effect" is there because we have an atmosphere, we're just making the effect stronger by changing the composition of the atmosphere by adding methane and carbon dioxide. Open a science textbook for fuck's sake.
@falcondriver100 I get it but if you think that liberals are "ignorant retards" because they get their news from Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert, then conservatives are even bigger "ignorant retards" since they get their news from Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and O'Riley.
@falcondriver100 I think the case is closed that you are in fact the ignorant retard. I agreed with your point that liberals who get their political news from comedians are just as ignorant as conservatives that get their news from Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and O'Riley.
@falcondriver100 Im sorry but if you feel Orielly, beck, Limbaugh, hannity, or any of the fox news females are more intelligent and rational then Colbert, Stewart, and Maher then you are a dumb ass. Conservative media bashes gays, uses no logic, justifies everything with religion, think global warming is a hoax, who is more ignorant. Conservative media like you is the pinnacle of stupidity. I laugh because the young generation will legalize gay marriage, weed, and watch you old conservatives rot
@pg33na33 Hahaha, You'll grow up some day kiddo. Like they say "if you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart. If you're not conservative when you grow up, you have no brain".......
Get back to me when you get a job, have a couple kids & buy a home. Then let me know if you think gay marriage, weed & hating religion is still "kewel". Funny how life changes folks. Ever wonder why liberals tend to be ignorant, know nothing, brainwashed children with no obligations or responsiblies?
@falcondriver100 HAHAHAHA so let me get this, you are a sexually deprived ignorant religious worshiping dipshit, who thinks that gay marriage is wrong, the legalization of weed is bad, and oppose healthcare for everyone. Conservatives like yourself are the reason why we aren't progressing, religious people like yourself are the reason where not on mars, ignorant bigots like yourself is why countless of young men are going to jail for smoking herb... I feel sorry for your kids,
He kind of missed the point of the rally. It was about moderates and compromise and not listening to people slinging mud on tv...which Bll here took advantage of to paint the right as bad and the left as good...on tv.
@grindorblackout1986 I think you missed the point, which is that is foolish and dangerous to try to compromise with moderates who don't exist. There ARE no Republican moderates. And it's not mudslinging when you tell the truth. The right IS bad and the left IS good.
@grindorblackout1986 You're right, American conservatives today are famously accommodating and open to compromise, and they're not at all dangerously ignorant and detached from reality. I'm just being a silly billy.
@grindorblackout1986 And some for advice in return: When you disagree with someone, it's pretty weak to dismiss them as a troll. You can agree or disagree, or say nothing. But taking the time to comment that someone is not worth a comment is a little silly.
I enjoyed the rally even if it didn't have a definate message, a great thing I got from the rally is meeting Americans from many different backgrounds, and visiting our nations captial for the first time.
Seriously. Why Haven't Bill and Jon joined forces or something? It seems like they turn into each others ''character'' outside of their show, Together they'd be great
Sorry Bill this was to "Restore Sanity." You can't be a bigot if you want to "Restore Sanity."
Stewart and Colbert are great. Bill Maher is a loser who is no different than Bill O'reily on the right and if you think otherwise you're simply in denial.
@onepiecefan74 I disagree with you on this. Maher is right about the idea that one must take a stand at some point, and not compromise on everything. I agree with Stewart and Colbert for Compromise, but I agree with Maher that you've gotta stand for something in the end. Both can be correct!
@onepiecefan74 I disagree with you on this. Maher is right about the idea that one must take a stand at some point, and not compromise on everything. I agree with Stewart and Colbert for Compromise, but I agree with Maher that you've gotta stand for something in the end. Both can be correct!
I disagree with Bill Maher here, The rally was for the PEOPLE, the normal everyday people who have different opinions about different things with real but normal problems who despite differences get along with each other,and that extreme views/lies within the media and government do not represent the majority of normal people. Maher's statement here not only proves the point Steward was making but misrepresents the idea conveyed. I usually agree with Maher but not on this...
i think the only reason jon stewart tries to pretend both sides have a point is so that he'll seem more appealing to conservatives, rather than straight name calling, no matter how true (roughly 100%). if a conservative tried to watch this it would only make them play into fox's ideals more, theyd believe that fox is right and that conservatives are victimized.
Well, lots of people are not "free-thinking", as you may have noticed..But the term "progressive" has a meaning, it is important to admit..And lots of "progressives" have lead us forward, from Galileo onward.. Not to say I buy into "progressives" ideas about "secular Humanism" and nihilism, etc.. I have very serious doubts about that..
The Founding Fathers of the USA were Freemasons and spoke of "Nature's God" and nowhere mention YHWH as the supreme or the true God, etc.. Don't make them out to be Jehovah's Witnesses, please..That would be entirely erroneous..
@TwoPointsUp i dont think- the people who tend to be more liberal honestly understand this country more then conservatives and there religious, morally imposed way system of think. Btw I'm also a Republican and consider that really my ideology (I'm a huge Jeffersonian lol) which honestly is more liberal and just free thinking, to me at least.
Warren Buffet just made nearly another Billion dollars in couple days by buying into Bank of America when investors started to lose confidence..at least on paper..does he really deserve that kind of remuneration for the amount of effort expended? He himself says he should be paying higher taxes!! How much more proof do u need?
He fails to mention that Obama is a war criminal as well. His only argument against the Tea Party agenda to reduce spending is that they weren't making it an issue when Bush was over spending. It is true, but how is that different than how he was constantly criticizing Bush for invading Iraq yet you don't hear much from him about us drone bombing 5 countries now.
@ronaldcorreatv There's a difference between a mad man (as in "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!") and a madman (aka a lunatic)."
Maher missed the whole point of Jon's Stewart speech in the rally to restore Sanity. Jon was making a call to restore civil discourse. It wasnt about equating the rhetoric of the left and right but to calm down the hyperbolic tone of said rhetoric so that we as Americans can once again engage in honest dialogue. If we as a nation are going to get anything we done, we must do it to together. Stop trying to split America in half with this left right nonsense.
I love John and Stephen but I have to agree with Bill on this one, they both got behind a topic that could not be argued against. Nobody thinks we need more vitriol and name-calling in congress. But asserting that those in favor of tax-cuts for the wealthy are on the same level playing field as those who think they should pay their fair share without the need for screaming "SOCIALIST!!!" is genuinely wrong.
I hope Mrs. Bachman gets the nomination..then we will see just how dangerous these people are..She used to associate with a fellow ( I can look up the name/ organization if u want) who entertained the idea that blasphemy against the Protestant religion should be a crime..which means, of course, that you go to jail/prison if you attempt any such attitude..
The crazies on the right really have only 1 agenda: Make wage slaves of most U.S citizens..That is why the keep on insisting the lower class is not paying enough taxes, etc..How much more sucker'd can we get??

It's like Maher is holding himself up as an irrefutable example of exactly the kind of quick and easy finger-pointing and tribalism that Jon Stewart was trying to oppose. He might as well have ended off by saying "hey guys, I'm part of the problem!" What a bitch.
Although I agree that crazies on the right are crazier than crazies on the left, I gotta say maher missed the point of the rally. Jon Stewart was discussing more about average pple and how they think of politics and political issues
@OneHitKill91 110% spot on. As Stewart said to Maddow, technically the Bush is a war crim idea is correct, but it's a conversation stopper. And JS was taking 3-4 steps back, away from left and right, and just saying- constant commentary and 24/7 news is unhealthy and leads to distortion of facts. Yes the right go crazier, but that doesn't admonish the likes of MSNBC from an amount of blame. All about toning down the crazy.
This guy is an absolute shmuck. He states true facts as if they're false. This whole video is basically him stating true facts sarcastically, suggesting they are false. He's just defending his own people.
They say crazies on the left is the same as crazies on the right. However this is completely false. Crazies on the right are already in the government affecting policies, and crazies on the left are not.
Just because they are both crazy doesn't mean they are equal. This country have moved so far right that some people can't even tell it is crazy when people made policies based on religious teachings instead of the Constitution.
I have officially slipped into a weird, nuanced twilight zone between Maher's approach and Stewart's alleged approach. Stewart's approach is actually my ideal, but the most of the right-wing in America have demonstrated themselves, at least over the last ten or so years, to be insanely unreasonable, and I think that means us opponents have to get way tougher than Obama's been if we seriously hope to get anything done. At the same time....
Con't. I think Maher's approach is best reserved for preaching to the uber-cynical sub-choir of liberalism as it would be gratuitous and inflammatory as a serious approach adopted by politicians and activists. We may have very little to reason with when it comes to the right-wing, but our toughness should be proportionate to the situation, which I will concede requires a degree of anger and tough talk considering how much damage much of the right-wing is causing.
@dwolfcoach Not sure, I might have been drunk writing my first comment, because he doesn't advocate policy here, he just bashes people and thinks its funny.
Yes, he does, and those of us that enjoy his bent tend to enjoy his logic. Me personally, I love the brash, unapologetic way he bashes people. He sometimes gets his science wrong, but I still give him his due regarding open, "honest" discourse. Disagree with if you will, but he isn't bashful and he hits his mark. Remember, policy must have a message, it's called politics. Fun huh?
@mattman624 Maybe you should lay off the sauce fella'. Obviously you do not understand that Bill Maher is a comedian. If you disagree with a point that Mr. Maher illustrates then by all all means, explain. But if you just don't find him funny then stop watching him.
@sameer137 You are aware, of course, that Stephen Colbert is just playing a conservative on television, and is not really a conservative - aren't you?
I really like Jon, Stephen and Bill. Bill is much more cynical and intolerant than they are, though. It's my natural tendency to think that being more tolerant toward people you disagree with fosters a more cooperative environment, but I agree with Bill that we're not working with people on the other side who will do the same for us. Not all republicans are batshit extremist right-wingers, but those who speak for them are - especially the Tea Party mob.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bill Maher must be smoking some serious crack, I pay attention to him about as much as I do Bill O'Reily, which is pretty much never. He just doesn't get it. It gets old hearing each both sides bash...blah, blah, blah Obama, blah, blah, blah, Bush. As a registered independet, small business, middle class, non-union, citizen. It gets old...Because yes, both sides have wacko's.
I suspect the point wasn't that conservatives are the only ones with wackos. The point was that conservative wackos are more insane on the whole and there are more of them. We see this with the anti-abortion rhetoric which calls embryos babies, creationists who deny science and unabashedly advocate magic, theocrats, climate change denialists, the free-market rhetoric, etc.
The left just has gun fear, veganism, and crazy hippies (the PETA/ecoterrorist lot), more or less.
Jon Stewart and Colbert invited Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, to appear that their rally. This is the man who called for the murder of Salman Rushdie, and never apologized for it. Not a good choice for a "Rally to Restore Sanity"......
America need wake-up and realise, most all caring and intelligent western people have turned against america, and Britain's Pm Tony Blair joined Irag only to try save his own bankrupt economy. (Blair could not predict america's economy was set (by world bankers) to collapse) If you can sense how utterly evil what's goin on in the world is, you'll expect much much worse things are coming.
The orchestrated collapse of america has been a long time running. From the collapse of communism, marked by the break-down of berlin wall in 1989, there was no longer any challenge to the economic order of capitalism and those capitalists immediately became entirely fearless and aggressive, as the right shifted far right. American media turned increasingly violent, sexually indecent and verbally disgusting, all under control of the world bankers.
@AmericanBadass44 Wow what a thought provoking and intellectual arguement. I can guess your affiliation I bet, way to prove his point. Nice name btw lol. I bet your still over there eatin your freedom fries huh?
This is why any group of people who live with or near Jews for more than 5 years feels as if mass exterminating all of them sounds like a pretty good idea.
I am disappoint Bill didn't criticize the appearance of Yusuf Islam aka Cat Stevens as a "friendly Muslim" at the rally. Yusuf Islam has on numerous occasions endorsed the fatwa against Salman Rushie and called for Salman Rushies death. He also was found to be sending money to Hamas.
Good because he said it once on the TV show Hypotheticals, again at a speech to students in Kingston University in London about his conversion to Islam, and once more in a Rolling Stone interview.
I Love Stewart but I actually agree with Maher. There's one self proclaimed socialist in the Senate, so I guess you could call him pretty far on the left. However, there are numerous bible thumping, laissez fair, free market capitalists, tea party members in Congress.
The rally was about civil discourse... Maher was looking for a right wing diss fest. Colbert parodied the fear mongering from the news. Remember Stewart isn't Beck.
@alicevana u kno the first time i saw a picture of her she looked like a vampire from underworld or some other monster it reminded me of when i was a kid and i was afraid of there being a monter in my closet / under my bed. and the more i get o kno her the more scary she gets

It's been about a year since the Rally to Restore Sanity and Maher's been proven right. The Rally failed to "restore" anything. Left and right are as polarized as ever. Meanwhile, Occupy Wall St has stopped new bank fees, taken away thousands of big bank customers, and started a worldwide movement. And the Tea Party, "insane" as they are, WON the 2010 election. Results don't come from Stewart's Kumbaya philosophy. It comes from people on the fringe getting angry and making noise.

@Wintermute01001 But don't you think, that that was the idea of the whole rally in the first place. Stewart at his end speech talked about how America is not the government or media, but t is the people who live in it. And he talked about how different people can achieve shared goals. I am sure, that both the Tea Party and Occupy Wall St. movements have different people in them with different views, but they still have a common goal.
dantey01 3 weeks ago
@Wintermute01001 I don't know if Stewart's speech was given to bring about change or produce results. I feel as if it was more of a rallying cry to let moderates(on both sides) within the electorate know, you're not alone and you don't have to play by their rules. You can disagree but you can coexist without any real contempt or disrespect for each other. Both sides seem to be crabs in a barrel and a lot of us don't want to dive in with them. Should've been "remain sane" not "restore sanity"

I disagree with Bill Maher here, The rally was for the PEOPLE, the normal everyday people who have different opinions about different things with real but normal problems who despite differences get along with each other,and that extreme views/lies within the media and government do not represent the majority of normal people. Maher's statement here not only proves the point Steward was making but misrepresents the idea conveyed. I usually agree with Maher but not on this...

i think the only reason jon stewart tries to pretend both sides have a point is so that he'll seem more appealing to conservatives, rather than straight name calling, no matter how true (roughly 100%). if a conservative tried to watch this it would only make them play into fox's ideals more, theyd believe that fox is right and that conservatives are victimized.

Maher missed the whole point of Jon's Stewart speech in the rally to restore Sanity. Jon was making a call to restore civil discourse. It wasnt about equating the rhetoric of the left and right but to calm down the hyperbolic tone of said rhetoric so that we as Americans can once again engage in honest dialogue. If we as a nation are going to get anything we done, we must do it to together. Stop trying to split America in half with this left right nonsense.

I have officially slipped into a weird, nuanced twilight zone between Maher's approach and Stewart's alleged approach. Stewart's approach is actually my ideal, but the most of the right-wing in America have demonstrated themselves, at least over the last ten or so years, to be insanely unreasonable, and I think that means us opponents have to get way tougher than Obama's been if we seriously hope to get anything done. At the same time....

Con't. I think Maher's approach is best reserved for preaching to the uber-cynical sub-choir of liberalism as it would be gratuitous and inflammatory as a serious approach adopted by politicians and activists. We may have very little to reason with when it comes to the right-wing, but our toughness should be proportionate to the situation, which I will concede requires a degree of anger and tough talk considering how much damage much of the right-wing is causing.

The orchestrated collapse of america has been a long time running. From the collapse of communism, marked by the break-down of berlin wall in 1989, there was no longer any challenge to the economic order of capitalism and those capitalists immediately became entirely fearless and aggressive, as the right shifted far right. American media turned increasingly violent, sexually indecent and verbally disgusting, all under control of the world bankers.
