Transcript:

Maher: Listening to people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck these days, I cannot figure out whether these right wingers are more dangerous when they're in power or when they're out of power, because when they're out of power, you know their paranoid, their paranoia goes off the charts. This Glenn Beck guy, I wouldn't even give him the time of day except he's a big star now on Fox and a lot of people believe, and he's talking about FEMA concentration camps.

Olbermann: Yeah...

Maher: He says we are headed toward socialism, totalitarianism...

Olbermann: Yeah...

Maher:...beyond your wildest imagination, but apparently not beyond his wildest imagination.

Washington: Right, right.

Sorkin: Did you see what he said about that? He said I can't prove these FEMA concentration camps, but let me tell you about them anyway.

Washington: Yeah, yeah.

Sorkin: You'd think it would be the opposite.

Olbermann: Can I quote Madeleine Albright?

Maher: Please.

Olbermann: He's nuts.

Maher: You know I would never be the person who says that you have to watch what you say because some borderline nut...no really...I'm not for that. No, no, that's an argument that's given a lot. You can't say this because a borderline might take it and then do this. I'm sorry but that's the price of living in a free speech country and I do want to live in one because I make my living at it. Okay. But you know I must say Tim McVeigh in 1995 if you recall, this was the same kind of talking that made him blow up that building.

Olbermann: The guy who walked into the church in Tennessee said in his statement to the police that he did this because he could not shoot the liberals who were on the lists from Bernie Goldberg, and Bernie Goldberg has proceeded to come out with another list of liberals and this time I'm on the list so this is even more vivid in my mind now. So yeah you're absolutely right about that. I think what you're seeing with, I mean I have been accused occasionally of sort of bordering on Howard Beale. Hey I got nothing on this guy for Howard Beale.

This is, you know in the last major economic crisis of this nation we spewed forth Father Coughlin. Well this is Father Coughlin with a crew cut. This is Father Coughlin on TV. This is, he's, who knows what he's going to say next week because if we can't understand what he's saying now he also has that same threshold. He doesn't know what he's saying now. It just sounds great. It's wonderful. It is a manic depressive high.

Thumbs up if you think Cenk Uyger from The Young Turks should be a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher.

[nurb101]

They've managed to convince their listeners that everyone up until the last 10 years was wrong and fascism is actually a far-left ideology.

.

That's why conservatives are told to hate education and people who know more about a subject than them... they become easier to manipulate that way.

@tmac9938 Ad hominem. Please try to attack the arguments rather than the personalities.

[zwiiyt]

if you want to know how dangerous hate talk is when it materializes, all you need to do is take a look at the past 60 years of liberal policy.

[dahuterschuter]

Keith and Bill should cohost something together.

[tmac9938]

LOL i keep hearing people support "Cenk Uyger" as if he has qualified opinions. the guy is an expert on nothing. so guess he'd make a great anchorman, but a terrible source of truth. MSNBC hired him because they ran out of options. oh, and bill maher is a party hack when he speaks politics.
