Both men think that bashing other is the way to get ratings. What say the rest of you?

I agree. As much as I agree with Bill Maher's points, I'd be hypocritical if I bashed Rush and praised Maher. Both use language that's over the top and only fan flames.

I say that's 100% true. Bashing others, unfortunately, is a great way to get ratings.

Limbaugh's apologized, Maher has not.

Yea I love Bill's humor and Real Time but he is an arrogant jerk. I think if he were nice and friendly he wouldn't be as funny. He is definitely less of a jerk than Rush, you don't see Bill making harsh racist, sexist and anti-gay remarks like Rush.

No decent person calls women names that attack them for being female just because they disagree with their ideas.

Funny how all our elected officials act in the same matter and get a free pass. We are the idiots, not them, ....if you really think about it with an open mind....


I believe this is all smoke and mirrors bullcrap to take away from the real problems of this nation....I honestly don't care what talking head idiots think of anything.

Both are jerks, but Bill Maher is better. And I am conservative. Both think they are way more intelligent than they really are. That's what I don't like about Bill Maher. For instance when he talked about how great France is, and listed several incorrect facts, and ignored that standard of living is lower, hence being in poverty in France is not good. He didn't mention the riots, or the fact that France evaluate their life poorer than Americans and certainly Scandinavians do.

However, Bill Maher is right most of the time, Rush Limbaugh contantly has his head up his ass, and he is rude.

Why does that even matter, and haven't we beaten this dead horse enough already?

I think Bill Maher is hilarious, and I guess I'm not as easily offended as some people here... Rush is funny too, but in more of an unintentional "does he really believe that stuff?" kinda way.
