Watching Bill Maher, last night's show...

...Repubs on the panel CANNOT just admit Obama called the embassy attack "an act of terror" in the Rose Garden, totally countering Romney's claim. In spite of evidence presented to their faces, they cannot/will not admit the facts. What world do they live in? They will not open their minds or mouths to admit truth. Wow. Wow. Wow.

They won't face facts placed in front of their faces because that isn't the message they're supposed to be selling. It's the fault of Faux News, hell, that's the reason Mittens made that statement at the debates. He's been drinking the kool-aid too.

Bill rarely has two bullies on and everyone was talking over each other. Not a good show! Did appreciate Matt Taibbi though!

When you have lots of Rethugs, it just leads to a shouting match of scientifically, factually proven lies.


I would rather he just use his show for information. Or work harder to find guests who can give a conservative viewpoint without having to discredit facts.

The Obamas were in a full body embrace.

The Romnys' - about a foot apart. Mittbot had his arms stiffly at his sides. HE leaned in slightly and what's her name - air kissed him on the cheek.

It was awesome. HE is such a robot.

Just popping out with "housing starts are down" when in fact they are up. Both Taylor and Maher pointed that out and the idiots had to shut up. The GOP strategy is to keep talking fast, verbally steamroller opponents, throw out as many lies as possible, and hope that people remember their talking points without checking them.

Their lack of respect to Taylor, a veteran, was awful, however. These guys would be the first to attack Democrats as anti-military and claim to be flag-waving supporters of the troops, but when faced with a real vet, they act like dicks.
