TV Host Bill Maher Suggests Dick Cheney's Death Would Save Lives Monday , March 05, 2007
WASHINGTON"”
More people in the world would live if Vice President Dick Cheney died, political commentator Bill Maher said, raising few eyebrows despite suggesting the death of the U.S. vice president would be a good thing.
During a visit to Afghanistan late last month, a suicide bomber detonated himself outside the Green Zone where Cheney was visiting. Several Afghans and a U.S. soldier were killed, but Cheney was unhurt.
During the Friday night broadcast of his HBO show "Real Time With Bill Maher," Maher and his guests, including Democratic Rep. Barney Frank and former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough, debated the removal of comments from the HuffingtonPost Web log praising the idea of Cheney being assassinated.
Frank earned applause when he quoted bloggers saying the bomb was wasted when it missed Cheney. Maher asked the panelists whether it was wrong for blog host Arianna Huffington to remove the comments.
Quoting the blog, Maher said, "I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn"™t be dying needlessly tomorrow."
Asked by Frank if Maher believed that sentiment, the host replied, "I"™m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That"™s a fact."
I'm all for free speech, but that is despicable. We have definitely reached a new low in America when people can openly call for the vice president to be assassinated without being condemned.
Maher has proven many times over that he is an idiot, and this is no exception. No, he's not "just saying . . ." anything, and his statement is not "a fact." Cheney's death would do nothing to change what we're doing in Iraq; Bush is calling those shots, not Cheney. He's just taking a ridiculous pot shot at the vice president.
He's no better than any of those pieces of garbage at the Huffington Post. Do Democrats have no shame?

Neither end of the political spectrum has a monopoly on self-aggrandizing, peurile, pedantic, hate-mongering talking heads. maher is one, coulter is another ( i believe she once expressed regret at not having shot President Clinton when she had a chance).
The real tragedy is when our partisan loyalties prevent us from recognizing the mote in our own eye. ALL such statements are worthy of condemnation. To often, however, we laugh quietly to ourselves when the vitriol is aimed at the other team's guy.
