The comment about firing the audience department says it all.

If you are a servant in my home, and allow random fruitcakes in to harrass me more than a few times, you get disposed of with said fruitcakes.   He was on his designated show, conversing with his guests.  If/when he asked for audience participation, than said fruitcake could have yelled anything he liked.   Otherwise, he should have sat there with mout shut, protested outside, or leave when asked.   M



DomKen -> RE: Talk show host assaults protester on live TV (10/20/2007 10:55:39 PM)

So this was a pre planned disruption of this show? How is this in any way different from Rush hanging up on anyone who disagrees with him? Is anyone actually implying that anyone would care in the slightest if Rush had someone physically ejected if he broke into his studio and started shouting slogans while Rush was on the air?

I admit I'd likely find the whole funny and would take some shots at Rush because he is a drug addict who apparently needs Viagra to golf. Then again I did think Maher did over react and deserves more than a little fun be made of him as well.

Okay, now I am laughing.
I am picturing Maher tazering the guy saying "Get the hell out of here, damn you!"

Perhaps you should go read one of the Limbaugh threads, Obis. Or hey, here is a crazy idea, try answering the question in the OP.
Of course, if you can't raise your head high enough to see the forest past the individual tree, that isn't my problem.


What question? Whether major news networks will interpret the story through your distorted point of view that it was an "assault" based on politics? I think that's been answered quite clearly several times. Magic 8 ball says "highly fucking unlikely because no rational person sees it that way". It's an unruly audience member being thrown out of a show. It's a marginally interesting story because it was broadcast on live TV, there's no political angle to it at all.

It would make no difference if it was a conservative or liberal show, the "protester" wasn't arguing a conservative or liberal point, he was trying to get attention for a conspiracy theory that 99% of people from both sides of the ideological spectrum don't give a crap about. It would be like Rush hanging up on a caller who was ranting about aluminum siding being a way for the government to encourage abortions. No, nobody would see anything wrong with that except the most extremely crazy left-wing nutso.

There's healthy skepticism and then there's delusional paranoia. There's no forest to see except in your invented world of persecution.

Hecklers =/= protestors, especially in a privately-owned studio where a show is being filmed. Regardless of the program's political leanings, if some asshole in the audience is being loud and attempting to disrupt the program he should be removed, physically if necessary. The same goes for operahouses, movie theaters, etc.

I swear, you partisan parrots will try and turn anything and everything into a bloody cry-baby fest. Every damned website that allows comments is inundated with the same stupidity. Yahoo News disallowed commenting because of this bullshit, The San Diego Union-Tribune can't even post stories about fatal traffic accidents without someone going "it was probably a car loaded with illegal immigrants here to steal our jobs and the dirty liberals blah blah blah...". and whatever stupidity the left whinges on about. What the fuck is wrong with people? This is an off-topic forum on a BDSM website and 90% of posts are "waaah, some talking head  attention-whore who makes a living being an ignorant blowhard said such and such" or "ZOMG, a politician made a slip of the tongue!". Is everyone's lives really THAT empty and meaningless?


Nicely said.

        Thanks for the link English.  I figured it was only a matter of time before somebody got this up on YouTube.

       So you must be defining "rational" as "anyone who thinks like you."

         Thanks, Obis.  You are doing a simply marvelous job of illustrating my point.

       Here are a few words from Maher on how protesters ought to behave.  Unless, apparently, they choose his show for a venue...

That's fucking hilarious, what double standards... you're absolutely freaking right, Rich - had that been the "Bush For President" show or the "Ann Coulter Hour" and it had been Conservatives showing the rascals out that way, and speaking like that, then these same people who are trying to label you a "baby" for pointing it out would be going through the roof, they'd be so frickin' mad.

They can't see their own damn hypocrisy though, that's the really funny part...



farglebargle -> RE: Talk show host assaults protester on live TV (10/21/2007 11:01:03 AM)

Was the show about 9/11? I mean, if you're just going off-topic, the moderator has a job to do.

I'm all for people randomly freaking out. I'm also for Security doing their job.

Please note: No-one got tazed.

And of course, you couldn't get into a "Bush for Emperor" without a background check, and like Rush, there is no way Anne Coulter would be able to afford the expense of an audience.

I don't know where they enter into this, Sanity, but I recall many hushed news articles of protesters being bounced, barred and jailed at George Bush campaigns............

All these 'they' should coordinate policy or it will appear as tho The Grand Old Party is floundering.

Again, Rich, Sanity, can anyone please take ten seconds and explain to me which political party is pushing the "9/11 was a conspiracy" line that Maher is trying to silence with his gestapo tactics? Seriously, you keep claiming this is some political thing, yet keep ignoring the absolutely basic fucking fundamental fact that there is no political party arguing for or against 9/11 being a conspiracy! is Maher in on the conspiracy, is that what you're trying to say -- that he's secretly trying to quell dissent because he was involved with the CIA in blowing up the WTC so that the Rapture could begin?

I really hate to break it to you guys, there are only about 4 people on earth who think you're making any fucking sense, and two of them are drooling.

If someone was thrown out of the "Bush for President" show or the "Ann Coulter Hour" for standing up and screaming about how childhood immunizations cause autism, nobody of either party would give a shit. Sorry, I know how much you're married to the idea, but nobody would care. Really.

I wouldn't say that..... there are dipshits on both sides that have a blind hatred for the anyone disagreeing with them.



TheHeretic -> RE: Talk show host assaults protester on live TV (10/21/2007 5:24:27 PM)

      Ok, Obis.  I don't write for that Jeff Foxworthy game show (not my problem, Google it) but I'll take a few minutes of my comfortably lazy Sunday afternoon and try to help you understand.

     This has nothing to do with 9/11 theories and whether they are being pushed by a particular party.  This is about reactions to a specific set of facts, and how those reactions vary, depending upon the prejudices of the person hearing them.  The facts here are that a talk show host cursed at a member of the audience, and then ran into the aisles to assist in his ejection from the studio.  How the story is being presented, and how it might be presented if that host were a Conservative, instead of a Liberal/Progressive, is the topic at hand. 

     Frankly, your eagerness to insist that there is nothing to talk about here, while wailing with the bandwagon about a Limbaugh comment dragged far out of context, is pretty fucking funny.  Where is your interest in the facts on that thread?

     And the only thing I'm married to is preacher's daughter who likes to play hard.



PlayfulOne -> RE: Talk show host assaults protester on live TV (10/21/2007 5:44:15 PM)

might, might, might

herotic thats all youi keep blathering on about,  how it "might" ne represented.  What is yoiur point?  I guess he are all just idiots and yoiu need to be more specific.

personally I could care less who he threw out.  If the guy wants to protest outside teh studio, I could give a flip.  I personally don't care who is doing the show,   no one should come into the middle of it and intentionally disrupt it.  I would feel the same if it was Rush or the hate queen.  They should be able to have the disturbance removed from their show.

He said nothing except he agreed with protesting PUBLIC political events.  Private property is another matter. 

Like he Maher says: Audience, from the latin means 'to listen'. You are an invited guest when you walk into those studio doors.  Disturbancing of a 'business', televised or not is not only illegal, it is rude.



Bufotenin -> RE: Talk show host assaults protester on live TV (10/21/2007 6:40:19 PM)

Anyone who cries "hypocrisy" based on speculative assumptions rather than actual, citeable, events or statements is an imbecile.
