Maher strayed away from his usual format and interviewed Ron Howard and Gore Vidal rather than having a panel on. Here's a segment of the Vidal interview where Maher asked him what he thought of the conservative movement today and President Obama.
"I think of myself as a conservative. Admittedly, I can read The New York Times without moving my lips, which is a sign of communism," Vidal says.
Maher asks what Vidal thinks of Sarah Palin
"I don't think about it at all. And I get no impression that she's thinking either."
On Obama: "I like him...I feel sorry for him."
On Conservatives: "They are a minority party, except they're not even a party, they're a mindset. They don't like this, they don't that. It could be sex, it could be race, it could be religion. They're just filled with dislike. They have no chance of getting anywhere unless they get attached to another movie star."
Doesn't quite sound like a conservative to me! And we all know what an ass Maher is.

The only reason we should even care what these two imbeciles think is that many actually do.
Maher is a beautiful example of a Liberal; a Flaming Anal Gas Generator:-(

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Gore Vidal has always been Left wing.
Decades ago he and Bill Buckley use to lock horns
leftists like to pretend they’re something they’re not, to give themself credibilty when they attack that side
e.g I’m a leftists and I think Obama is a stupid person
Vidal’s opinion of Conservatives sound amazingly similar to those of Meghan McCain.
So why even comment on us then?
Gore Vidal is Al Gore’s cousin. They don’t talk much to each other if at all.
Vidal is a Hollywood type.
One should never put conservative and Gore Vidal in the same sentence. He's a brokeback rump ranger from years ago.
I’m sure Gov. Palin will cry a river over this. Gore Vidal is a left wing nut along with that Norman Mailer chump. Sarah Palin can truly wear this indictment like a badge of honor.
For decades and decades he always bragged about his
left wing agenda.
He is also related to Al Gore’s family and indirectly to Jackie Kennedy
“Gore” is obviously Gore Vidal’s first name. Some people might actually think you’re serious that he is related to Al Gore. And there are people here that foolish.
August 28, 1968 - Chicago - 10 million estimated TV viewers.
Gore Vidal calls William F. Buckley a “pro-crypto-Nazi.”
Bill Buckley fires back: “Now listen you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your goddamned face and you’ll stay plastered.”
Gore Vidal, it is suspected: crapped his pants and did not call Bill Buckley a Nazi again.
Gulp! Looks like *I’m* the foolish one! I never knew they were related. But isn’t “Gore” Gore Vidal’s first name??

Norman Mailer called himself a “Left Conservative” and in many ways he was. Even if at other times he seemed more like Public Enemy No. 1. At least Mailer was grounded in some semblance of a family life, with wive(s) and many children. Vidal, on the other hand, is the one with the rigid mindset, full of resentment for and a wildly comically exaggerated sense of who his enemies are.
His is an elderly childless homosexual writer of some talent, and though that doesn’t disqualify him from anything, he has a highly jaundiced view of American History, which he has never been able to keep quiet about.
