Kucinich-Supporting Hecklers Interrupt Bill Maher On "The Tonight Show"

Just a week after making the boldest talk show appearance ever (third video down), Bill Maher found himself in another awkward position: this time at "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."

While asking about Maher's opinion on the current crop of presidential contenders, Leno was interrupted Tuesday night by a Dennis Kucinich supporter, who yelled, "Let Dennis debate! Stop censorship! Help save democracy!" (Dennis was shut out from MSNBC's debate last night in Las Vegas).

Then, after a commercial break, Maher was interrupted by a separate audience member, shouting a more ambiguous message: "GE, NBC, Put Impeachment on TV!". Too bad he didn't handle the nuisance like he did on his own show.

Check out the clip from "The Tonight Show" below:

Edwards is being blacked-out for his anti- corporate stance, and Kucinich is being blacklisted for his impeachment resolution.

Folks -- the writing is on the wall for all to see.

Open your eyes!

Now you know why Arabs strap explosives to themselves and blow assholes up, because any honest debate is suppressed, dismissed and laughed
off unless you use violence.
I am sure Al Qaeda members tried to start a dialog only ot be met by the comment, "Call security and get that batshit camel driver out of here"

When Wade Churchill suggested dialog to stop the violence he was marginalized and silenced. Bill Maher did have Churchill on his show, but only allowed sound bytes to fuel humor and not a real discussion.

Everytime I see Bill Maher I like him less and less. Such an arrogant Snake oil selling asshole.

[watchingthings]

Leno just proved what an ASSHOLE he is. The only people concerned about their country....and Leno puts them down. I suppose he wants to go down in history as one of the "boys" who destroyed America, the land of prosperity and plenty.

[Ramirez]

Hecklers are assholes.

[JamesR.]

Funny Maher thought someone was referring to the writers strike. They weren't. They were just being assholes. Is he being a scab or something?

Politically Incorrect comes home to roost.

WOW.. so Maher's whole thing is one big act.. I guess they can't just adlib when things are thrown at them? Talk about unsupportive.. OK maybe it was not "appropriate".. tsk tsk.. but that's just the point!

All the news on TV has turned to political porn for the clueless. Nothing real is happening. The tubes have the Truth. YouTube and Stage6 America's only hope.
Paul and Kucinich 08
United for real change.

Not defending that any protester has to say but these TV personality prima donas have apparently forgotten what it's like to have no voice in this country.
Mr. All-About-Me-Mahr who has a weekly conniption fit about any old thing that rubs him the wrong way, might consider what happens to democracy when the people are silenced and give 10 minutes to that some show.

Yeah right, you mean jumping into the audience AFTER security was already there? Bill Maher is about as threatening as one of the munchkins on The Wizard of Oz.

[GoodbyeKitty]

I believe in UFO's too.

It's the only explanation I can come up with for Republicans being on our planet

You know, when you look at Dennis, there is a certain 'Yoda-ness" about him.

[Lisette]

This country is sofed up with the Bush/Cheney White House. Americans want Impeachmenr.
