Michael J. Fox admitted doing just that, in an interview--he would lay off the meds a bit, to make his symptoms appear even worse, for a tv spot. I wouldn't think it warrants criticism, except that he was using some of the spots to advocate the fetal stem cell issue, which a lot of folks have a problem with

Maher - Editorializing
Coulter - Name calling

If you can't see the difference you are blind.

Many lives would have been saved had Clinton been assasinated. That's about the same thing isn't it?

No its not. Its not even close and Noel Sheppard is a fool to try to keep defending his ridiculous contention there was malice in Mahers thought. Maher's thought was purposely neutering the outrageous remarks some made by those suggesting the bomb was "wasted." His thought became, "less lives would be lost if Cheney wasn't VP anymore." Noel Sheppard in his blind rage to attack Maher is guilty of the exact same thing NewsBusters accuse the left wing media of- inventing a story. I don't like it when the left wing media does it and I don't like it when NewsBuster's Noel Sheppard does it. NewsBuster has to stop rationalizing this garbage. Anyone with a meager command of the English language can follow the thought in that exchange. It obviously contained no malice or wish for assassination which is (despite Noel Sheppard's ridiculous denials) implied.

I don't like the fact the Noel Sheppard is campaigning against Maher's job because he doesn't like Maher's politics. That's a Clinton tactic. I DON"T LIKE IT.

Here's the deal, BTW... if I did a similar thing in MY job, that is, repeat something in public that was stated by someone else, something that inflammatory... I'd be gone.

I could say something like "There are some pretty crazy comments posted on our blog" and get the point across without repeating ON AIR the specific crazy nonsense that gets posted. Agreed?

After the hearing, our little group of patients and scientists embarked on a tour of the offices of several senators and congressmen. We met with Representative Bill Young, chairman of the House appropriations committee, Representative Jerry Lewis, chairman of the defense appropriations subcommittee, and on the Senate side, (then) Majority Leader Trent Lott (along with a dozen or so Republican senators he'd assembled in his office), and Senator Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate appropriations subcommittee overseeing NIH. Everyone gave us plenty of time and a respectful hearing. And while the senators didn't come through with any extra appropriations, both chairmen on the House side did end up making specific directives that increased funding for P.D. research.

As Joan and I left the corridors of power we must have looked like a pair of drunken sailors; the day's hectic events had brought our symptoms to full boil, and both of us were a little wobbly. But something else was going on with JoanóI noticed that she was fighting back tears. "Am I missing something?" I said, baffled. "I thought we did pretty well back there."

"Oh, it was fantastic," she said. "It's just that it's always been so hard to get anyone to even listen to us, never mind invite us into their offices." She flashed me a smile. "It's a whole new world."

Snippets of my testimony were featured on several of the nightly news broadcasts. One line in particular from my prepared statement got a lot of play: "In my forties, I can expect challenges most people wouldn't face until their seventies and eighties, if ever. But with your help, if we all do everything we can to eradicate this disease, when I'm in my fifties I'll be dancing at my children's weddings." I had made a deliberate choice to appear before the subcommittee without medication. It seemed to me that this occasion demanded that my testimony about the effects of the disease, and the urgency we as a community were feeling, be seen as well as heard. For people who had never observed me in this kind of shape, the transformation must have been startling.

I wouldnt blame the guy for that under any other circumstances, but his whole thing has turned into public funding for embryonic stem cell research--Pro-lifers wanna pay for THAT about as much as Bill Mahr wants to join the US Marines

Not bad, but your quote was from a Senate hearing in 1999.

oops.

Outspoken Vocal leader of conservatism is what I wrote... Suggesting that he is not is just you wanting to argue, look at the size of Rush's audience and Market share and then re-evaluate honestly... Or if Rush wasn't at all influential why does he get targeted by the Librule media so often....

HBO didn't hire Bill Maher so he wouldn't make waves. The rules that govern most people in this world, don't imply to entertainers. Rush Limbaugh would have a boring show if he was afraid to step on toes. But thats besides the point. Noel Sheppard created this story where there was no story. Its the exact same thing that NewsBusters accuses the New York Times of doing everyday. If NewsBusters is going to set themselves up as unbiased, the can't print garbage like Noel Sheppard's exercise in obfuscation. And then when confronted with the fact that he created the story, Noel Sheppard insults his readers and claim they misread it. Its all so liberal.

I will agree he is outspoken but a leader? Not really.

He is an entertainer. And a good one at that.

As far as the liberal media goes they will attack anyone who disagrees with their liberal point of view.

Plus he is the compitition and they cannot stand the fact that a none liberal is doing so well in the entertainment business.

And before anyone starts I do not agree with a lot of what Rush says but he is funny to listen to at times.

He has a gift of pissing liberals off with the truth.

It's not me wanting to argue, it's a fact. He is not the leader of the conservative movement. He is an entertainer. I can't account for the tastes of his audience.
