In addition to Old Gringo's references above, Maher, this poor excuse for a human being, disparages Christians, compares "special" children with dogs, and after 9/11 had the unmitigated gall of calling our soldiers cowards. This d********g comment was made on ABC's Politically Incorrect, while he, at the same time, PRAISED THE BARBARIANS, who k**led almost 3,000 people in New York.

“We have been the cowards, lobbying cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly! Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.”

Yes – k*****g thousands of unarmed innocents without warning…that’s the stuff of brave men! Following the subsequent severe backlash, network advertisers pulled out quickly. He would be fired a few months later. HBO hired Maher to essentially do the same show (without the pesky FCC to police content/language) two years after getting the boot from ABC. SHAME ON THEM!!!

If you harbor any sympathy for this reprobate, I urge you to watch this video:

This video is no less worthy of Maher's being fired. The fact that he said it on cable TV is no excuse for allowing such an obnoxious, condescending, cruel, offensive, smug narcissist to spew his venom on TV.

The victims of the Boston Marathon bombings were also subject to Maher's invective:

“It was, again, a bad day. Three people died — that’s terrible. More were maimed — that’s horrible, but unfortunately that happens every day in car accidents and everything else,” Maher said. “I mean, your city was not leveled by Godzilla.”

But it is not caused by "accidents," either, Mr. Know-It-All. It was a terrorist act, and that means deliberate targeting of people, including children.

America is a country which espouses freedom of speech - but when that speech causes even more pain to people who have been injured and are suffering, or are grieving the loss of loved ones, then that perpetrator has gone beyond the bounds of civility and common decency.

I believe in God because I can't fathom something coming from nothing.

However, I get tired of people who think we should live our lives by the historic fables of pre-scientific people. Almost all peoples have creation myths and natural catastrophe myths...such as Noah and the flood.

Grown-ups recognize these stories as primitive attempts to explain the world to pre-literate people.

Bill Maher is just stretching the language to make a point. Do you really believe that Bill thinks God is a psychotic mass murderer...really??? Maybe Bill is correct and the right wing really is as stupid as he portrays them.

I may occasionally disagree with Bill, but overall I think he is brilliant...and he makes me laugh.

It must be very lonely to consider yourself the be all and end all, but atheism is his choice and he's welcome to it. But his disdain of our soldiers after 9/11/01 vs. his deference to the terrorists who "remained in the planes" or the comparison he makes regarding "special" children and dogs is NOT FUNNY!! It's cruel!!!

The only brilliance about Maher is that he chooses controversial subjects, makes provocative, mean-spirited and insulting remarks about them, and then counts the bucks which his comments trigger (yeah, like mine)!!

It doesn't take intellectual acumen to hurt people when there is no kindness or compassion in your heart.

You are quite knowledgeable about Republicans aren't you? NOT

Bachmann and Graham are on opposite sides of the Party. She is conservative, he is a Rino, endeavoring to change his color from Blue to Red prior to the midterm e******ns. He is being challenged by a true Republican Conservative. We hope he is defeated byi actually received a E-mail from him via the Red State blog. I did not bother to watch his apparent take on being brave and fighting the ACA
I wasn't very happy nor surprised that many don't see the old slip of the hand routine being played by him. another, real, Republican.
