A Friday, November 4, 2005, op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times by HBO host Bill Maher begins as follows (emphasis mine):
"President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito, must bomb an abortion clinic."
It gets ... worse. Four paragraphs later (emphasis mine):
"Is Alito a decent man with Christian values? Until he kills a nurse with a pipe bomb, there's no way to be sure. Sometimes the only way to convince some people that you're truly pro-life is to kill a few of them. Like when a gang member has to knife some random guy to prove himself."
"Kill[ing] a nurse with a pipe bomb"? Comparing pro-lifers to murderous gang members? Maher has been outrageous in the past, but ... this?
We can only imagine the "outrage" in the media if [fill in your favorite conservative writer here] had printed anything even remotely like this.
Want to read the entire article yourself? Good luck. The title of the piece is "Is abortion finito with Alito?", but this writer has been unable to find it anywhere on the latimes.com website, Google, or Yahoo.
In the last several weeks, articles by Maher have begun to appear on a regular basis (Fridays?) in the Times. Although an October 21, 2005, piece by Maher is found in their archives, it seems that many of his articles are not archived by the paper. Why?
Is the Times trying to avoid accountability for Maher's often-incendiary diatribes? Are they afraid of drawing too much attention to their pairing with Maher? Are they trying to avoid further discussion of his work (through posts like this)?
It looks like it.
Apparently the STDs are taking their toll....
Bill Maher is a complete idiot. I refuse to even comment on this thread. I just refuse....
The best part of Bill Maher wound up as a stain on a mattress.
FACT.
Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot idiots like Maher...
Bill Maher is the lovechild of Barbra Streisand and Michael Moore...
He's got a big nose, a big mouth, and is really, really greasy.
It's hard to work up outrage over a hysterical ninny. Would you settle for a contemptuous snort?
How does this stupid a-hole generate enough brain power to tie his own shoes everyday?
I love it when Bill Maher, or Michael Moore or Streisand, or any of the Hollywood loonies open their mouths. It does so much for the conservatives! Basically that entire group talks to the same trolls over and over (thinking MOveon.org). I love it! I laught at it and AT them because they are SOO absurd and self-righteous.
We need these people. They are truly 'Useful Idiots' as Mona Charen has put it.
We owe a prayer of thanks to God for the stupidity of our enemies.
I hope this runs in lots of papers.
Pay out enough rope .....
This piece of Liberal filth is a Poster Boy for whats wrong in America.
Perhaps this is why Michael Kinsley left the LA Times. Maher et al are too far unhinged for even him.
What a worthless, wretched human being. He has added nothing to humanity except defecation, because at least his bowel movements keep plumbers employed.
I hope someone finds the full column text. It's actually interesting to read their blather.
I think we need to pray for Bill. The hate inside of him
must be taking a terrible toll.
