Good for him.

Maher boots protester from audience

Maher was talking science during one of his weekly panel discussions when a protester in his audience stood up, held up a smuggled-in sign reading “9/11 is a cover up fraud” and shouted comments to the same effect.

The host tried to shout down the audience member, who only became more agitated. “Do we have some (expletive) security in this building,” Maher yelled, “or do I have to come down there and kick his (expletive)?”

When security reached the man’s aisle and the man resisted leaving, Maher ran into the seats and helped them push him out the door, shouting “Out! Out! Out!” […] After the instigators were ejected, Maher told his panelists — MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson — that they often linger outside his studio to share 9/11 conspiracy theories with him and try to get into the show.

“It’s the only time I defend Bush,” he said.

    Maher vs Truthers

    I don’t know for whom to cheer.

    Is there a door #3?

    [LOL! Great question Hadsil!–ed.]

    More public figures and places should follow his example, most especially colleges and universities. There is no right to either effective speech or a particular venue.

    Maher will learn the hard way – never diss your base.

    Do I hear chickens coming home to roost?
    Okay- this is a totally off topic idea. I was thinking that Rush’s Ebay auction was so wildly successful that you might start something similar. I’m thinking a calendar, Tammy, Michelle, Ann, Marykat, et al dressed in the manner you are most comfortable with, posing with your favorite cuddly guns, proceeds to a suitable charity.
    I would certainly buy it.

  7. Bill Maher is an ass-hole(can I say that?)
    My parents watch him and I have to go outside or I might throw something at their new TV.
    Stewart(Leibowitz) and him, as well as many “journalist” are starting to see that they have created a MONSTER.
    They don’t wish to be consumed by it, losing their position and all their stuff. Nor do we.
    Hey Colbert et al: Stop destroying my country for your capitalistic greed and to impress your friends. You could lose it all.

    One moment of clarity does not make up for a lifetime of unbearable, odious stupidity.
