Maher and Olbermann accuse conservative talk radio of "whipping up" fringe elements of society.
Maher and Olbermann accused conservative talk radio of "whipping up" fringe elements of society Friday.
Maher: Listening to people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck these days, I cannot figure out whether these right wingers are more dangerous when they're in power or when they're out of power, because when they're out of power, you know their paranoid, their paranoia goes off the charts. This Glenn Beck guy, I wouldn't even give him the time of day except he's a big star now on Fox and a lot of people believe, and he's talking about FEMA concentration camps.Then they invoked memories of Tim McVeigh.Olbermann: Yeah...
Maher: He says we are headed toward socialism, totalitarianism...
Olbermann: Yeah...
Maher:...beyond your wildest imagination, but apparently not beyond his wildest imagination.
Maher: You know I would never be the person who says that you have to watch what you say because some borderline nut...no really...I'm not for that. No, no, that's an argument that's given a lot. You can't say this because a borderline might take it and then do this. I'm sorry but that's the price of living in a free speech country and I do want to live in one because I make my living at it. Okay. But you know I must say Tim McVeigh in 1995 if you recall, this was the same kind of talking that made him blow up that building.If anyone is "whipping up" the "fringe" elements of Society, it is them. See the video here.

Perhaps 20 people listen to Maher and Olbermann. Who cares what they think?
I wonder if they both fit in the same bed together . . . who’s the bitch?
are more dangerous- It’s your peole that are dangerous Mahr, not defenders of the Constitution:..The Constitution I guess that’s a passe fringe idea now, huh..
Stalin would be so proud.
this is an excellent example of, on a scale of 1 to 10, what Conservatives do as a 2 or 3, Liberals do as an 8 or a 9 (or a 12 or 13 in some cases).
Really...if you compare the two....Maher at least has a sense of humor and might say one thing in ten which is laughable. As for Olbermann....if he says one thing in ten that is intelligent....he’s lucky.
JUST DAMN is this guy a class act or what?
Ohh Maher is, but its not too rough of duty for Chrissie ... rumor has it that Keith OberKommando would have get a lot more stamina to qualify for an “honorary minuteman” nomination.
Next thing you know we’ll be hiring busses to take us to harass private citizens.
funny how these hypocrites complain about what Rush and Beck do when both are guilty of it but on the opposite political spectrum.
Who whipped up the lynch mob for AIG execs? Huh Bill?
These two go up against the wall in the first five minutes of the revolution.
These guys are just jealous because they don’t even have the face for radio.
These two morons walk into a bar...........which is odd because you’d think the second one would have seen it.
“This Glenn Beck guy, I wouldn’t even give him the time of day except he’s a big star now on Fox and a lot of people believe, and he’s talking about FEMA concentration camps.”
#1. Beck pulls in more viewers on the left coast @ 2:00 in the afternoon than both of these clowns combined even if you gave them 500,000 fake viewers just because you felt sorry for them....And 100,000 more because you REALLY felt sorry for them. Giving Beck the time of day by him would be an insult to Glenn as he doesnt have time for small-time hucksters.
#2. if that dumbass Maher actually paid attention to the FEMA camp thing, he would know that Beck doesn’t believe in them, and actually admonished listeners for buying what they heard on the internet about it. He did have his staff look into it.
Wow, what a whackjob he is!!!!
What fringe elements? Most of America doesn’t agree with either of them on most things. They are the fringe nuts as soon as they step out of San Francisco. They also never showed any such concern when they were whipping up the left to hate GW Bush.
In days gone-by, both would have been flogged and if they lived, then tarred and feathered.
Best bet, just bury them alive.
