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.

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.

Then they invoked memories of Tim McVeigh.
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?

Yes, they are correct....the first amendment was designed only for use by the left. because the left is good and the right is evil.

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.

Speaking of "whipping up," BOTH these a**holes ought to get DAILY public floggings, ESPECIALLY THIS MORON:

Bill “Idiot” Maher obviously wasted on some serious chemicals seen here in his 2007 Halloween getup as the late Steve Irwin.

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.

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.

Their shows have been officially designated as Superfund sites. Rumor has it they have applied for "stimulus" funds to clean up the toxic waste they've spilled over the years.

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!!!!

Those two phuckwits would be dancing in circles and doing the jitterbug if 0bama's Brown Shirt Fascists started beating and killing conservatives in mob action, you watch: the first violent acts will come from the LEFT.

And the acts that bring it to an end if that should happen?

From the RIGHT.

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.

Maher and Olbermann are two of the biggest pieces of human trash to ever walk the Earth.

In days gone-by, both would have been flogged and if they lived, then tarred and feathered.

Best bet, just bury them alive.
