Another lively debate about Iraq, Patriotism, the Democratic candidates and Gov. Spitzer. What did you like about the show? What did you dislike?

Tavis Smiley said that Rev. Wright had been thrown under the bus. Is this supposed to be progress for black people since the time when they were forced to sit in the back of the bus?

vitaone,
> YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED NEVER TALK
> D NEVER TALK ABOUT HAVING A GIRL FRIEND.
Actually he has talked a lot about having a girlfriend, but he never says who it is at any given time. He's had three really serious ones, including Anne Coulter of all people.

I AND THE REST OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THINK THAT YOUR SHOW IS NO LONGER WORTH WATCHING.
HOW CAN YOU ENDORSE OBAMA KNOWING THE CHURCH HE ATTENDS PREACHES HATRED?
YOU INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE ,BY AGREEING WITH SOME OF THE MEDIA THAT HE GAVE A WONDERFUL SPEECH IT WAS READ FROM A TELEPROMTER IT DID NOT COME FROM HIS HEART.
IF MY CHURCH PREACHED A SERMON AS REVEREND WRIGHT DID NO ONE WOULD BE DANCING AND CHEERING WE WOULD WALK OUT .
I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE INTELLIGENCE THAN TO BE CAUGHT UP IN A MOMENTIUM OF SUCH B.S OF PEOPLE FAINTING AND INSTEAD OF CALLING 4-11 TO GIVE THAT PERSON A GLASS OF WATER.
YOUR AUDIENCE IS SELECTED TO BE OBAMA SUPPORTERS OR THEY WOULD WALK OUT.
BILL I FIND YOU TO BE REDUNDENT,NO IDEALOGY AND A MAN WHO HAS BEEN CASTRATED THAT IS WHY YOU HATE WOMEN IN POWER.
YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED NEVER TALK ABOUT HAVING A GIRL FRIEND.
YOUR FOR A GUY NAMED HUSSIEN WHICH IS ARABIC HAVE THEY NOT SCREWED US ENOUGH?
BUSH HAS DUPED US NOW YOU WANT US TO EMBRACE OBAMA WITH NO EXPERIENCE.
HIS MINISTER HATES JEWS ITALIANS AND AMERICANS AND YOU WANT OBAMA AS PRESIDENT ,I THINK YOUR JUST TALK AND REALLY A REPUBLICAN.
I NOW FEEL RELIEVED TO SAY I AM NO LONGER GONNA WATCH A POT HEAD LIKE YOU AND WHAT EVER ELSE YOU TAKE BECAUSE YOUR STILL ON CLOUD NINE.
SALVATORE

as someone who has witnessed Gov Spitzer destroy the professional lives of innocent people in NY just to build his own political career and then to hear Bill and Tavis blame Bush and the Patriot Act for the Spitzer scandal makes my head spin.
The show needed some real intelligent debate and they should have broughtt a guest from NY that could really add some punch to the Spitzer segment.

Hi cosmonaut, I hope you're as well as spell can tell. The motive behind the bias could simply be a need to excrete the hate towards lords by swording records or rewording buzzwords. The gutter sinking verbiages might be expressages of unbandages from sewerage voyages. Demagogic logic is paralysis of dialogic cryptologic.

The show was great. i love John Cusack and am a huge fan of Savage but he disappointed me. In fact, I was disappointed by the entire panel and Bill for not commenting on the woman who told Savage in the video that she would not be voting because she didn't want to get called for jury duty. At the very least, a verbal spanking from Savage was in order, but no one uttered a word about it.
This desire to avoid jury duty is a major reason so few people even participate in the democratic process and it sickens me that its become so commonplace that people like Bill and guests let it slide by without objection. I think we need to start talking about it and to remind these cowards that voting is more than a right but its an American responsibility. Its another tragic example of the "me" mentality spreading like a virus through the American population.

Bush and Iraq are back in center. There are some differences between the way Mr. Maher talked about Bush then and now.

Great Show! Great guests. Very funny, loved Cusack, he made some good points that came across well. I love when you make fun of Bush, it always makes me laugh,
I'm glad to hear that f**k hasn't been dropped from your vocabulary, Bill. We can't do anything about all the f**ked-up s**t that goes on, so we might as well laugh at it, right.
Bill, you seemed very emotional about some of the topics, which was great to see, you haven't lost that fire. I think the guests got a little uncomfortable by the look on their faces, because you got loud when you were making your point after they made their point.
The comment you made about all these cheating politicians wives being ugly may be true, but Spitzer, the blind guy and the rest are certainly no lookers themselves. Spitzer looks like a cross between a troll and a cat weasel with a bad underbite. I wouldn't f**k him for all the money in the world. Yes, really, I would'nt, he's that grim.
Bill, you were losing your touch, but it looks like you're coming back. I think HBO has the right to call your show PROVACATIVE again.

I'm not sure what would make a perfect show. I think it's just impossible to please everyone. That's an interesting question to ask though.

The one point that I truly disagree with in Mr. Maher's discussions is that the American Public is willfully ignorant of what goes on in Iraq and the true nature of the war. I think that many Americans are simply too caught up in their all too real, and all too pressing, troubles to have the leisure and the energy to worry about the war in Iraq. That is not to say that we do not care; we do, but something that seems so far away takes a back seat to concerns over how one is going to make house payments, rent, student loan payments, etc. The average student leaves college with 20K in debt; credit card debt takes even more money. The housing market is collapsing and America's economy is spiraling down out of control. In the midst of these troubles, Bush passes a refund package which grants a mere $600 dollars and tells the public to, as one commentator on last week's show put it, "shop" our way out of difficulties. Our economic woes will not so easily be solved, yet we are offered no real solutions. Consequently, our ills remain much closer to home and the war in Iraq becomes merely a dim concern, crowded out by the press of other obligations and worries. Perhaps that was the administration's plan all along.

Yes. Those of us who haven't swooned over Obama, i.e., haven't handed over our capacity for critical thinking, can feel quite alone, at times (which isn't always bad).
You know that Mr. Maher has acute Obama-blindness when he starts praising a pastor. Don't be surprised if he's a born-again Christian by next week and the show is televised from Obama's church in Chicago.
