From Noel Sheppard over at Newsbusters
Once upon a time, when a Republican was President, the use of drones to kill terrorists was cowardly.
Now when a democrat named Obama is President things are waaaaay different:
BILL MAHER, HOST: Since 2005, I think, the number of drone missions has gone up by something like 1200 percent, and for good reason. You know, we can do it a lot cheaper. It’s cheaper, we can get closer to the target and therefore kill less civilians. They can stay up longer. I’m sold. I’m going down to the dealership tomorrow. I’m hoping they have a hybrid.
JOSHUA GREEN, BLOOMBERG: It was apparently a drone that got Gaddafi, or got Gaddafi’s convoy and sent him scurrying, scurrying into a hole.
MAHER: And I’ve heard people say, “Well, this is not good because, you know, this is like a video game.” Good. Why is that a bad thing that it’s like a video game? I don’t understand why it’s a bad thing. I know the argument is, “Well, you know, it makes us more likely to go to war if we don’t have to, you know, risk our troops.” How could we be more likely to go to war than we’ve already been?
Maher is just the most vulgar and disgusting piece of filth on TV, he is also the biggest hypocrite in the universe.
Or beyond.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
On ABC Bill Maher right after9/11:
The You Tube Video is 21 seconds long:

The key to Alinskyism is the whipsaw, a constantly shifting “moral center” that can argue both sides of an issue at the same time.
Or pretend one side of the argument never happened.
Maher is intellectually absurd — but emotionally pitch-perfect for his target audience: brain-dead liberals.
If it weren’t for the web, in this case Newsbusters, Maher would skate on his internal contradictions.
I have not watched HBO since Maher started his show.
I am not a biggie over Ann Coulter but please tell me she never did the nasty with this clown. Reading that they once dated has put me in the ah’s and wdf’s, she is suicide blond gorgeous and with a simple snap can get all the male attention needed to sate any feminine ego.
I quit watching ANYTHING remotely connected to Maher after he praised the terrorists following 9/11. I was actually watching his show that night and I remember when he said it. It took me about 2 seconds to change the channel.
@THE SOOTHSAYER:
You need your eyes checked, buddy. That gal is beyond thin-unattractively so.
I hate saying this because I try and find something nice about everyone but he is the scum of the earth…
Just seeing Maher gets my itch to swing a baseball bat really going- How is it he even has work? It used to be that when someone was as morally repugnant as he, that person would be shunned, not rewarded with a TV show.
If Maher and Garafalo mated, they would spawn flatworms.
Blake, I believe that the media is so biased that the more shoking the statement is they love it..Today you are rewarded for your crimes…..Only in America….
This guy is such a jerk!! No wonder his ratings are so good. I wonder if Chris Matthew’s legs are tingling on this one. At the heart of America’s problems sit the MSM who will lie, distort, and distract the truth to protect their failed President.
@hedy:
What do you mean “try”?! You still succeeded…that was being nice in regards to Maher.
Maher is the guy who went as a stabbed thru the heart Steve Erwin (with manta ray hanging from wound) for Halloween. This was a few months after Erwin’s death.
He’s a hatemonger and nothing else. That is why the left loves him so. Birds of a feather.
He is as repulsive as many of his fan base… which is basically Obama’s base…and that leads right to the freak show at OWS…. LOL
He’s right. You don’t think WE wouldn’t call them ‘cowardly’ if they launched them against us? Well, we did when they were firing SCUD missiles at Israel.
@liberalmann: Only YOU could defend Maher…
Says a lot about you, libtardman.
@liberalmann:
Obama has escalated the drone war several-fold from the previous administration, partly because he does not want to be embarrassed by arresting and interrogating a bunch of additional terrorists. He can’t afford that, since condemning the Guantanamo facility was a big part of his brand differentiation from Bush. So, he does not have them arreated — he just kills them instead.
Is Obama a coward? Please explain.
Maher only proves that some people can live a long time without a brain
