Remember, the Lancet, which was supposed to be one of the leading publications on health, didnt retract the article until 2010.

Up until then, even the medical community was arguing the efficacy vs harm.

MAHER: Well, we've talked about it. I'm not into western medicine. That to me is a complete scare tactic. It just shows you, you can...

KING: You mean you don't get a -- you don't get a flu shot?

MAHER: A flu shot is the worst thing you can do.

KING: Why? MAHER: Because it's got -- it's got mercury.

KING: It prevents flu.

MAHER: It doesn't prevent. First of all, that's...

KING: I haven't had the flu in 25 years since I've been taking a flu shot.

MAHER: Well, I hate to tell you, Larry, but if you have a flu shot for more than five years in a row, there's ten times the likelihood that you'll get Alzheimer's disease. I would stop getting your...

KING: What did you say?

MAHER: That went better in rehearsal but it was still good. Absolutely, no the defense against disease is to have a strong immune system. A flu shot just compromises your immune system.

All those clips were 2009... before the retraction and court case. What has he said recently?

The Lancet never, never ever published anything close to the anti vaxer lies that he was pushing.

Somehow I doubt this is the conversation the medical community was having.

After prolonged public ridicule Bill Maher started keeping his mouth shut on this issue.

How much more race baiting can a leftist get?

Bill Maher on HBO's Real Time Friday might have said one of the most disgraceful things uttered during the 2012 campaign season.

"If you're thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you"



See the video. Now people were laughing and it was comedic, but one has to wonder - Even being comedic, was he being prudent? He said "just kidding".

Would a rightie get away with that?

Bill Maher isn't always right, he's an anti-medication fruit loop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4oxHPfLCS4

No, I just don't see the need to defend your strawman on the subject. I've been familiar with the research paper you're talking about for years. Sure, science is quite susceptible to fraud in the short term, but Bill was way past anything the Lancet ever published and it was just as clear that his position was tin foil hat material back in '09.

Funny, that those on the right, must take issue with people paid to make other people laugh...Maher, Stewart etc.... We on the left, have to find humor in the Limbaughs and Hannity's due the absurd amount of seriousness that the right takes in what they say....and they aren't paid to make us laugh, they just do...

Funny those on the left who villify rush for talking bullshit can come out with so many excuses why its ok for bill to do the same.
