She piped up something that even in my stupor I went WHAT? And I thought Maher was gonna lose it! He sputtered and said "WHAT? No, it is not..." Whatever it was.

And the audience was giving that asshole Glassman what for. Spouting shit.

Kudos to Chris M and Bill.

I'm listening to it right now. I can't believe how stupid those two are! I'm glad they're being called out, not only by Chris and Bill, but by the audience (via their laughing and heckling), too.

He can say exactly what he wants any way he wants. Including telling a co-panelist to STFU.
He doesn't pull any punches.

I'd loose my home and end up on welfare! That goes for millions of Seniors who are hanging on by a thread. How's that going to reduce our debt?

Chris Matthews always does a great job in all of his appearances. He's thoughtful, quick-witted and very smart. I love seeing him as a guest on other shows, for what he brings to the table every time.

And when BM called her a Republican, she said quickly, "I'm an independent." He said something like, 'Yeah, you're sure taking their (GOP) side tonight.' For a Wharton Bidness Schoo grad, she seemed kinda thick.

idealogy (sp) can blind all other rational thought and make you look stupid. Just look at Ted Cruz, if I was Harvard Law School I would take his diploma away.

Don't those Gopathetic, Gopasty, Gopaunchy, Gopeurile white - no, Ivory Tower white - want their spouses to drive over a bridge that isn't about to collapse? Don't they want their grandchildren to not get Shaken Baby Syndrome driving in their little car seats over horrible and inexcusable roads? Don't they want their cousin's kid to get a job rebuilding that bridge, and buying a cup of coffee for her crew the day they cut the ribbon?
What if it was their neighbor's kid serving those coffees for $7.25/hr.? While trying to get through school and paying rent because we no longer have what I remember? One parent buying a four bedroom house while in their 20's and going on vacations and putting kids through school.
Don't they want the paperboy - who does a great job - to not get cancer treatments because of lack of research funding and then just die because he or she can't get anything but the equivalent of a state appointed attorney/doctor?
Don't they ever think of anything? Not just of themselves, but...Anything?
Anything real? Anything about the way you and I freaking live?
Mental Health care? Pish Posh! I live in a state where we PROBABLY won't get too many health tourism dollars... Sorry Rush. My brother hanged himself this year. Maybe could have been prevented. Gov. Jindal is a, never mind - you know. But Alive In A Straw Poll!!! At the FAMILY VALUES CONFERENCE!!!! Now - with even more Hate Groups!!
Don't they care that while they talk about "American Exceptionalism", China is talking about de-Americanizing the world. They are laughing at us and calling us the hypocrites we are. The whole world!! Foreign Policy!! Go Dudes!! And Michelle!!
Do they not care that austerity has crippled much of Europe? That the whole premise of austerity has been proven a disaster, and that if we don't get our act together, and EASILY put people to work building car elevators for Mitt Romney - he got an ok!!!!!! and bridges and telling us to NOT BUY THAT CHICKEN which is going to make your Exeter Prep School kid sick which is good because then the Andover Prep kid may not have seen the Abstinence Only video and may have knocked up your daughter who just drove over a failing bridge. Sigh... What DO they want??

nor make logical arguments. Oliver Stone talked about how his research showed that it was not necessary for the US to drop the H-bombs on Japan. He gave some specific facts as to why he had reached that conclusion.

Then the Republican dude says something like, "I'm glad we dropped the H-bomb and saved millions of lives." Well, Stone's argument was because of X, Y, and Z, the story that we had to drop the bomb to save millions of lives is false.

So, if you want to disagree with that, then fine. But you need to address the facts of the argument as presented by your opponent. Otherwise, it appears that you neither heard nor knew previously about those proposed facts and are just babbling.

Every time I watch Bill's show I am reminded that most Rs think they are funny, when they're not, think they have made a big score, when they have not, and are always the ones who talk first and most.

He's quick and those 2 republicans (oh, sorry, independents ) were way out of their league. It was a good show.
