Bill Maher: ‘I Want To Marry Ann Coulter And Join The Tea Party’

Has anyone ever seen Ann when she's on Bill's show? These two are meant for each other. Hey, opposites attract!

DUDE! You know she's a man right? Have you ever seen a bigger adams' apple?

Whenever you want out of the bubble, you should watch CSI: Miami. It's hilarious! DNA testing in minutes. Searches across disparate public and private computer systems bring up complete multimedia results all in the same format. The science is a hoot.

Ann? Their's a law against interbreeding with lizard people, sorry Bill…

Maher did once tell Coulter on his show that pretty much everything she says is a lie. He must have meant that in a good way.

“I think people generally with the Internet can sort of coagulate into their own tribes and form a clot… I don’t mind if someone has genuine ideological differences. But I do take offense when people have their own set of facts. I’m not the only one to point this out, but it is amazing the way the Republicans can run against a completely fictional Barack Obama.”.

Its called confirmation bias.

Wow, I didn't know Bill swung that way.

Ann Coulter is actually tolerable when she is a guest on Bill's show.

I think our country needs a Truth in Journalism law like the one in Canada. That way the information being distributed amongst Americas stupidest and most simple minded will be properfly fact checked before it is disbursed. People can then make an opinion based on fact and reason instead of propaganda.

We're fucked! Too many people with their heads up their asses….allowing the lame stream media to entertain them

Thank you so much for this link.

If Ann Coulter was a liberal democrat, the democrats would think she's hot.

"Lizard people" that's great. Did you come up with that all on your own or is that straight from the fox news talking points memo that goes out to you buffoon's each week?

The problem is that we have media now (Fox and MSNBC) that practice this, and others that simply don't fight it. If I read another political story or see another one where I hear "One side says A, the other side says B" without the reporter getting at the truth, I may give up reading until November 7. There are two sides to every story, yes, but there are also FACTS and TRUTHS that are not debatable. Reporters: It is your job to find out these things, not just regurgitate talking points from two sides equally.

Mahar has kinda hinted that that might be his thing a few times.

As hot as a man in drag…….

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional,

illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous.

mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is.

entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

They only allotted an hour to solve the crime. Give them some slack. lol

YOU BEEN READING WEBSTER AGAIN IN THE JON HAVE YOU ?

Ann is a genius. Make up the biggest bullshit lies, put them in a book with an offensive title, sit back and collect the profits!

Fox news called Ann Coulter a lizard person?! I'd have to see that to believe it.

I would, but this series is not purporting to be in some fictional Neverland (a good example might be Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but rather that it gives some insight into how forensic crime scene investigation works. If I were a cop, or a lawyer, I'm sure I'd have a whole different set of things to laugh at in this. But I yam what I yam.

Yes, I believe I have heard those hints a few times. Well, to each his own but, dang….

And if she were, Rush Limbaugh would think she's not

I may be a partisan liberal in a bubble but I can articulate a set of principles on the economy, education, health care, equality, etc., and tell you my policy preferences that ensue from them. This apparently makes me a terrible person and inferior to the hordes of people who "vote for the person not the party" but I'm proud to be a discerning voter and citizen. I think all those uniformed "independent" voters should stop whining about partisanship and figure out what they stand for.

I would think fox news would side with ann coulter, she is more conservative

I do believe that I mistook your statement as to accuse Bill of being the "lizard person". I apologize.

The article is confusing, it talks about his fight against magical thinking, and it talks about facts that are easy to look up. Then it quotes him as saying he is glad MSNBC came along to be the counterweight to FOX news partisan and conservative view. Well in just the few moments I looked it up and well MSNBC has been around longer than fox (admittedly not much longer, only a couple of months) and has always been liberal leaning. It would have been more factual and less inclined toward magical thinking to say that Fox news came about as a counterweight to all the other major liberal media news networks including MSNBC.

They actually used to date. So that makes sense.

Amen. I am a registered independent but I lean fairly far left. I appreciate people being in the middle but at some point you have to decide and stand on the decide you think is right….and right now that right is NOT the "right", How ANYONE of reasonable intelligence vote for Romney and some of the republicans right now is unfathomable to me. I mean seriously since when is adding more "teachers, policemen and firemen" a BAD thing?

Paul Martin Armstrong Yes the lizard is STRONG with Ann…And when I say lizard I mean snake.

Except when she told Chris Hayes that his mother was a "parasite" because she was a Govt. employee.

That's a great idea! American media was once dedicated to truth and fact-finding. Partisan froth is more profitable, unfortunately.

What a great point (Kerry Barletta). That phenomenon drives me crazy, that "Dems say this and Reps say that" and the "journalist" doesn't challenge either side to defend their position with ANY facts. They're happy with providing an equal opportunity for both sides to spew their propaganda. "Mitch McConnell said today that 'Barack Obama is from Mars'" and Robert Gibbs disputed that claim stating that 'there is no tangible evidence that the President is an fact from Mars'"…up next is sports and weather!"

Bill says some mean things sometimes but he is a comedian. Ann is just a vile, mean spirited person that represents a large portion of our society. Sad that it is so very telling of where we are as people.

The only hope America has to finally bypass this "roadblock" to truth that is Fox or any other News source, is to sanction any news outlet severely anytime they are caught knowingly reporting in less than a truthful or outright deceptive manner. Make the fines HUGE…and we must require Journalists to be impartial, as they are schooled they have to be…Without impartial Journalism we will fall into a deeper partisan society. Oh, and please put Rupert Murdoch in a box…it will be a great start!

Talk about an out of context headline…

I try to step out of my Liberal bubble but quickly re enter because the outside is not an experience my soul can endure which includes, prejudice, judgment w attempt to control, and lies intended to create fear …

Ann is a misanthrope.

I don't think that is a fair assessment. She only hates those who do not see her views as "gospel". I believe there are those that she completely idolizes. Gov. Christy for one. But hey, I have been wrong a few times in life, what do I know?

While it's true that Bill Maher doesn't know me, I am a big fan of his, and I watch NCIS every week! I even occasionally watch CSI. I think he is misjudging some liberals just because of our TV viewing habits! In addition, I loved and agreed w/ "Religulous." One doesn't have to follow ALL the rules to be a liberal/progressive…

I disagree. I think she's a sociopath. Tell me which of these quotes Gov. Christy agrees with "There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says are the minimum amounts we should be exposed to are actually good for you and reduce cases of cancer." -Ann Coulter, on fears over the fallout from Japan's nuclear crisis "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester." –on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." -Ann Coulter

I know for a fact and there is plenty of research to prove that her statement about radiation is actually very correct. We just went over that in medical school last semester.

I totally agree that she is a sociopath. I just think the term misanthrope infers that she hates all of humanity while I believe she only hates those that don't agree with her narrow views.

Robert Anthony Meyers
Yeah, personally I have a problem with the "she's a man" thing. But if we're engaging with her on the level of calumny and ridicule, she's kinda asked for it.

Jay I'm sure those studies are related to "standing next to a microwave" or "holding a cellphone" Those that worked on the Fukashima plant will die as a result to the radiation they encountered.

I agree. You put yourself out there with some crazy comments and you become fair game.

No actually those studies are related to high enough radiation to cause cell death, which is much much higher than a cell phone or microwave. You see, if you cause damage to your body, your system is forced to renew itself, replace old, dead, or weakened cells with new stronger cells. In the end, it benefits you over all. Its sorta like evolution, survival of the fittest.

I have little faith in our country when it comes to our economic and political process. information is varied and scattered and isolated. until we can have a fundamental shift in the way we receive our journalism, we as the american people will always be subjected to misinformation that serve a single interest. the moment journalism became a business, it created competition, and encouraged competitive edged ideas and actions that take away the importance of facts and instead lead with opinion that is manufactured and recycled.

This used to be the case in the 1980's – then during Reagan's term the whole thing changed and truth was no longer expected or required. My take on this is to allow 'opinion' news but require the program to sell its self as 'opinion' news not 'facts' news. Then if a 'facts' news program did not thoroughly check out its info, it would be severely fined. That allows the brain dead to continue to watch opinion news if they desire which many people would -

What a crock. I tire of the likes of Bill Maher–he acts like a prissy little hippy who like Obama wants the GOP to also love him. That is really were I get off the bus. The country's politics were pretty well balanced from about 1932 to 1980 but when Reagan's people like Lee Atwater, the American Enterprise Institute, Rupert Murdoch, and the Hertiage Foundation started the HATE based politics the liberal / progressive took up for themselves. And lo and behold the Rightwing hatemongers just got mad as hell because liberals aren't supposed to argue with them because they are RICH and know it all…..

Maher is just a sop who will do anything to keep his job even hang out with Ann Coulter (she is a rank idiot). Didn't she offer to debate economics with Paul Krugman. I took econ under Krugman (Nobel Eco Prize winner) and he would crush her and any rightwing Fox rightwing mouthpiece on cable. What is interesting is that on any given night millions of people watch Bachelorette while 300,000 watch Hannity. Yet all you hear is how popular Fox News is—what a pile of crap. Around here you hear that AM radio is really popular–oh give me a break…do you know anyone except 65 year old Medicare / Social Security types listen in to AM radio….the good demo is 18 to 45 year old who buy new cars, houses, kids clothing, etc. listen to I-Pod and I-Tunes downloads of Metallica and Aerosmith….they DO NOT listen to Hannity, Maher, Coulton, nor Krugman for that matter. They don't give a penny for politics.

Focused radiation like that to treat tumors can be beneficial. The idea that exposure to random radiation at high levels is good for you is absurd. Especially if it is gamma radiation which causes mutations in DNA that can cause cancer.

Considering how often Ann is on Real-time, I think Bill has a crush on her anyway. I think he's just a kinky guy.

I dont think anyone is debating that high levels of radiation and or gamma radiation is good for you, not even ann coulter

I heard ann's vagina is actually the transplanted head of a snapping turtle.

I use my reason, not faith, to form my opinions. I have my values, and do my best to form them based upon facts and science, not magical thinking. And honestly, I watch FOX more than MSNBC, I know the liberal arguments, I make them all the time, I need to know the conservative dogma, how else can I be ready to speak and respond to the arguments they are using? I think it is important to understand how we ended up here, http://lisalongo.me/2011/11/04/how-trickle-down-theory-is-ruining-our-schools-and-closing-our-libraries-thank-you-ronald-reagan/.

Ann isn't clear in the quote what she means. She didn't quantify above what she means when she says, "…radiation in excess of what the government says…" The fact is, however, that it is possible for simple background radiation to give you cancer. If the right mutation occurs. The more radiation you are exposed to, the greater the risk.

See? Bill is just that kinky.

Bill Maher does have a really good point though. Even George Washington realized at the time how bad a two party system is for politics. If you have one side against the other, it will inevitably lead to what we have now: the Republicans blocking every bill just because a Democrat introduced it. The filibuster has been used a record number of times in the Senate, and nothing is getting accomplished. Politics has become more about the parties than about the issues. If you ask someone why they are voting for Romney, most will either come up with false reasons of support (the fictional Obama) or they will say it is because he is a Republican. The same can be said about some Obama supporters, as well. We need people who will get things done, or the government will continue to be stagnant.

Don't do it…it's a trap.

My nickname for her is acid tongue so that would be pretty rough too

Her tongue is not only acidic, it's forked!

Paul Martin Armstrong It's kind of funny to see someone pluralizing the word, "buffons", by putting an apostrophe in it.

it gets really complicated when you talk about radiation and cancer. Different people are different, what kills one person may not effect another person at all. You will find people at both ends of the spectrum. It is true that some facilities have to maintain lower radiation levels than regular background radiation. There is really no point arguing about the radiation/cancer comment by her because fundamentally she is absolutely correct. Now if you want to get into specifics and then go on to use anecdotal evidence rather than real research which has been done, sure you will find plenty of fault with her statement. We are not picking apart the people who say "Milk, it does the body good" when there is plenty of evidence that it can in many cases be really bad for you. Milk in general is pretty good for you and there is evidence out there to support that but in wrong proportions or if it is given to people with a particular morbidity it can kill.

Saying that radiation is generally good for you is absurd. Milk is generally good for you, unless it's contaminated with radioactive isotopes. Clearly, organisms have evolved to tolerate a certain amount of radiation and there are mechanisms in our bodies to combat the deleterious effects of radiation. Some organisms, including some people, have better mechanisms than others.

I already said that focused radiation, can be good when used as a treatment for existing cancer. I am a former nuke, so I know a little bit about the subject. Actually, quite a bit.

I seriously hope Ann Coulter is never on the Bill Maher show ever again. Every time she opens her ignorant mouth my blood boils. I am at the point where I have to tape the show and try and delete her out or not watch that show at all. And the main reason I subscribe to HBO is to watch Bill Maher.

They've been boinking each other for years.

Jay Nass Magical thinking is generally used to describe superstitious thinking. I don't believe this applies at all to the existence of a news channel. Whether or not one or the other is the "counterweight," I don't think anyone will argue that Fox changed the tone of American news. And even now, MSNBC is not nearly as partisan or as propaganda-spewing as Fox.

Actually I was merely responding to his tone that his thinking was somehow fact superior. Also MSNBC actually came out in 2010 and said that they were partisan- Following several years in which many observers noted politically liberal bias in the channel's programming and news operations, MSNBC publicly acknowledged its progressive agenda in October 2010 while launching a marketing campaign with the tagline "Lean Forward."[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] In a June 2011 interview, MSNBC president Phil Griffin stated that "MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform" and that "MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives."[15]. Of course your comment was that you did not think they were as bias as fox while Meher's opinion seemed to be that they counterbalanced fox which would indicate that his opinion would be that they were at least as partisan.

Ann was expounding on this statement. "With the terrible earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer." Its pretty obv that she wasn't talking about radiation exposure to absorb calcium.

Just Fuck her N go home……….. Nobody will hate U for it bill…….. she nedds it n yer just the man ta give 'er it…….

She was Bob Gucciones bitch……

The 2 sides were civil to each other until Gingrich, Limbaugh & Fox News came along. Now the debate has devolved into, "I know you are but what am I"? Quite childish. At this point, I am a "Democrat by default". I'd consider voting Repub., but they are so extreme & hateful on virtually every issue (taxes, abortion, gay marriage, climate change denial, foreign policy, debt ceiling), that I would only vote Repub. if the Dem. opponent was an ax murderer.

I think that the American people are not educated about politics. One group ONLY listens to Fox news, not news, just propaganda and the other groups listen to CNN or MSNBC. My belief is you should listen to every new station so you are well informed. The friends I have don't even care who runs on the Repulbican ticket. they will vote for them with no knowledge at all just because they are republican. So how's that working out? not good! Don't vote party vote person and who can give this country what they/we need. I have lost sleep over the friends who are highly intelligent, but really believe that Obama is a muslim! and then believe Romney would be good for this country. How and I say how can anyone think that he is "the man". Pay attention and educate yourself before you have that walk into that voting booth in November". Consider yourself lucky that you hold the fate of this country in your hands, collectively, don't throw us to the wolves……..and yes I mean Romney who cannot even get one story straight.

I admit that Michelle Malkin is hot. But of course ou have to be hot these days to argue for internment camps.

Bill Maher libertarian? Ha don't make me laugh.

talk about taking things said tongue installed in cheek out of context.yes one can get tired of anyones harangues no matter how right they are. and coulter may be a ninny but she looks pretty good and he's a sucker for a good looking woman.

Howard Dunbar I wonder where you get your false information-I think you just "think" it. I am 66 years old and all my friends are about the same age. We all watch liberal shows and vote liberal. We have a lot of information you probably never heard of. People our age came from the "sixties"and learned to think for ourselves and distrust govt. and mainstream media. You have no clue what you talk about!!!

Saying Fox in conjuction with News is an oxymoran. Fox is a prapoganda outlet for the right wing and nothing more. Just go down the list of news commentrators on fox.

Hi Pat . We miss you greatly and hope all is well.

Michael Hughey, your reply to Howard Dunbar is a prototypical example of poor critical thinking skills. Howard did say that all 65 year olds listen to AM radio, he said all of AM radio listeners are 65 year olds. I believe his point was the demographic for the right-wing AM radio talk show audience. I'm not sure if this is factually correct, but I suspect that the pie-chart would show a very large percentage in that demographic with a meaningful percentage of a younger age. I've seen it myself.

Meanwhile, Howard discounts a rather large audience for Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, et al. In that regard, Howard appears to be talking out of his ass.

As to his comment about lack of interest in politics in the younger generation… there is obviously a lot of that, but as I poke around the Internet, I'm often surprised by a younger demographic that is focused on real issues. Go to Reddit and have a look around. I'm pretty sure that is mostly a young demo.

I would truly enjoy seeing a breakdown of all the demographic profiles in this discussion. If anyone has some good links it would be great if you posted.

But it's clear that Howard's comments have truth wrapped in anecdotes, driven by perception and emotion. And that, is what FOX NEWS does.

Michael Hughey, just a small nit…
Commentator ideology has nothing to do with the content. The right-wing has used that argument for years, in reverse, about the the main-stream media. They've been correct about liberal bias re:commentators. But as we know, the main-stream media is as liberal as FOX NEWS. It's corporate news serving the ruling elite as a primary vehicle for mass propaganda and social engineering.

And remember, it's a little about the spin on what they do report and a lot about what they choose not to report.

Curtis Daddy Love,
You know what's a hoot? The ridiculous tenets of Scientology and Travolta running around massage parlors getting wacked-off by male masseurs.

lilmsgs
Yeah, that too. I assume that you think you're baiting me or something. Good one.

It's not a great point, depending on the MSNBC show.
Shows like Rachael Maddow, Chris Hayes, even Ed Schultz focus their shows on delivering the sources associated with the facts they are delivering. Maddow goes to great lengths to present credible data, sources, and rational discussion surrounding her point of view. Fox News does not do that. Fox propagates wild assertions that support their point of view. Barletta's point about Side A vs. Side B is true of the four other news networks NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN.

It is true that those shows on MSNBC present a liberal bias, however, they are very good at bringing on right-wing pundents and debating the points with them. This is only done superficially on Fox. Is the discussion tilted to more time for the liberal point of view? Of course.

So, it's fair to say that those MSNBC shows filter show content to their liberal bias so viewers should be aware that there is more unbiased information available. But MSNBC shows do present their points in a intellectually honest manner with a considerable amount of opposing opinion represented. Fox does not.

Meaning, Barletta is a false equivalency of Fox vs. MSNBC.

Jay Nass
You're kidding with that comment, right? Have you never seen her on FOX NEWS (her clips and quotes are all over the web).

Please tell me that you aren't saying you think CNN is liberal…?!?
CNN is part of the corporate media machine that helps ensure that people are talking about topics that keep them under control, fearful, and not asking the real questions about our bought-and-paid-for politicians, the policies they vote, and the resulting events they don't want their viewers to pay attention to.

Making an argument for watching Fox to keep well informed is like finding out Joseph Gobbels writes all of the Fox News content and deciding to keep watching because you might learn something.

The number is something like 45% of Americans believe Obama is Muslim. Fox News is responsible for that number being so high.

Again, a false equivalency. True about Romney supports. We know that's true because of their demonstrable delusional notions about Obama.

I believe however, that there is a very high percentage of Obama supporters who are knowledgeable on the issues, know what Romney is all about and view Obama as the rational alternative.

Sure, you have the straight-party Democrat voters and those who a low-information voters who "feel" that Obama is right for them. And maybe the percentage is the same. Meaning:

You have low information voters and high information voters on both sides. And I think in both cases, this is what is wrong with America.

I wasn't trying to say anything about equivalence. I was acknowledging that the uninformed voters exist on both sides. I would agree that the exist in higher frequency with Romney supporters. And I agree that the uninformed is the problem with America. The fact that the poor (or the middle class for that matter) would vote for Romney is beyond any comprehension I can have.

I think if we really want to see what the two parties can do the filibuster needs to end. Then when Democrats or Republicans are elected, when they propose a bill, all they need is a majority vote. The need for a supermajority vote on everything is bullshit. We would see what Democrats are fully capable of this way. Incidentally, if a Republican is voted for as president, we'll see what he can do. If he doesn't get anything positive done, he won't have a good excuse! Same would go for Democrats.
