so glad you're back Bill - you're my all-time favorite BS detector

[biskitdaddy]

I'd rather you debate Rush than that human stick figure. And please offer her something to eat, she needs it !!!

[stdeclan]

Indiana? Why?
Oh, I get it, middle of the country-far from the coast, probably not too many fans there, not smart enough to appreciate Maher. Why waste time and money on mapping places like that, (insert pseudo intellectual,s chuckle here.) A better example of wasting that hundred thousand might have been oh, somewhere like maybe Montana, one of our least populated states. But then Bill probably knows some West coasters who maintain trendy getaways located there. Oh, the mountains in winter, aaah...
I'm probably wrong. I'm sure his writers just blindly flung a dart at a map and it hit Indiana.

Debate Coulter? Just a publicity stunt.

[Bear0015]

They're friends he stands up for her all the time.
He is just helping her sell more copies of her "book".

As a long-time fan of yours, I was disappointed last Friday when you mentioned on your show that you would be debating Ann Coulter. I realize the money involved in this is a large factor, but from the point of view of continuing to publicize her ilk, you are doing a disservice. You may as well argue with Limbaugh and other ego-tripping, inane personalities, giving them a forum for their idiocy. There are people out there who swallow all of this hook, line and sinker, believing you are legitimizing the neo-con manifesto by catering to their zest for the stage.

[hmmmmm]

Please ask her why she, Rush and Sean all hate America. thank you.

[TommyNovember]

Please Bill, I love ya, I know how smart you are, please use it all vs. lil orphan Annie!!!..­....please­.

Eagerly awaiting the "Coulter-off" Maher > Coulter
I'm going to barbecue some pork to celebrate. (cheerio)

A suggestion, Bill, since you are going to be debating Ann Coulter. Give her lots of rope to hang herself.

"In your book 'Treason,' you accuse liberals of being traitors to America. As we all know, treason is a capital offense. Which liberals would you most like to put to death?"

Since the purpose in a debate is to win over the audience, not your opponent, anything you can do to position her as far to the lunatic fringe as possible is to your advantage.

"Conservatives want tax cuts for everyone. Why stop there? Why shouldn't we stop paying ALL taxes?"

She either agrees (and alienates the audience) or argues your point for you (that taxes pay for necessary and useful services).

"You oppose any attempts at gun control. Of course, a strict constructionist view of the Second Amendment would conclude that it gives citizen the right to keep and bear muskets. But activist conservative judges have expanded that right to include assault weapons. But why stop there: doesn't the Constitution allow private ownership of surface-to-air missiles, rocket launchers, even nuclear weapons?"

Attack her from the right, as being too liberal.

....just a thought.

Bill, love the show, loved the doc, but Ann Coulter? I'm not going because I couldn't stand to listen to her that long. Try again with a more worthy opponent.

[Fernando]

Good point, to her credit she has the cojo.nes Rush Limbo lacks in actually engaging in a public debate. It'd be good see Bill set her straight, after all, what is Coulter going to do, defend the Republican record for the last eight years?

[timtimes]

Don't watch TV news except for the excerpts I see on the web, so I'll take your word for it that they are enamored of their newest toys. Loved your movie. Keep giving them hell. Free the weed. Winners smoke weed.

Enjoy.

I'm so glad Maher is back on Friday nights! It's the only show I have to watch on television and gives me something to look forward to at the end of the week. Religulous was great too! Kudos Bill.

[mitsie]

Hey Bill, my husband and I just love your show. Please don't have the guest back on that was on your first show, the one whose the editor of Financial Times. We can't stand that woman. LOL

[GoodNews]

Thanks for the shout out Bill, we love you too in Indiana!

[Gunga-Din]

Hmmmmm. Looks like mr,Maher, a very smart man, lost a politic agenda.

[nexus1961]

Hmmmm... looks like Gunga's REALLY looking hard for that silver lining in the
crap-cloud that BushCo has left.
In case you don't know it (Republicans RARELY have a measurable sense of humor) BEFORE the last 8 years of Bush-catastrophe, Maher used to make fun of things OTHER than politics.
It's just that the Bush years were like a well-stocked game preserve is for big-game hunters
of Comedy..

[SantaFeConservative]

Republicans have a great sense of humor ... we've been laughing at the Liberals for decades. They still break me up! So clueless.
