Bill Maher discusses his new book, "When You Ride Alone You Ride with Bin Laden"

From: Fresh Air, NPR

November 7, 2002 Thursday

Quote:

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross.

GROSS: Mm-hmm. Now one of the people who was a very frequent guest on your show, and was also very far to the right, was Ann Coulter.

Mr. MAHER: Yeah.

GROSS: And you became good friends.

Mr. MAHER: Yeah.

GROSS: So what is the basis of the relationship? Because you're so involved with your political point of view...

Mr. MAHER: Right.

GROSS: ...what's the basis of a relationship with somebody who has a very opposing point of view to yours?

Mr. MAHER: Well, contrary to popular belief, it's not sex. She's just my friend, and people think it's all based on pillow talk. But I promise you we're just friends, but we're really good friends.
And one thing that doing that show taught me was that you can become friends with people who you absolutely disagree with, and I think people should. One reason I'm able to do that is because, first of all, I'm only 99 percent certain I'm right about anything, and I think everyone should have that attitude. If you don't, it's arrogant. It's arrogant to think that you absolutely, 100 percent, know you're right about anything. So, you know, who knows? I could get up to the pearly gates and find
out Ann Coulter had it all right. I doubt it, however.

But the other thing is what I love about Ann Coulter is that she's sort of the--she's sort of a version of myself in that she absolutely never pulls a punch. Even when she's saying something that I think is outrageous, it's what she really believes and she doesn't back off of it. And that is what I find so refreshing and, unfortunately, so unique. I can't name five other people who do that, who don't calculate before they speak. If she believes that nuns should carry guns, then she'll just say that. Or whatever she said about how we should conquer the Muslim countries and convert them to Christianity. It's insane; I don't agree with it. But you know what? I have to give it up to her because she absolutely says what she thinks and doesn't back off of it.

She's not afraid to get booed. You know how wonderful a quality I find that? Not afraid to get a little booing. People in this country are so lame about that. They're so lame about worrying about
their popularity--politicians, people in show business; they're so afraid that mass out there, that bunch of hamsters who are pushing a pedal of approval will somehow push the wrong pedal--'Oh, I did not like that very much. I liked it somewhat.' Well, how about just saying what you feel and
whatever they feel? Fine. If they don't agree with you, what's the worst that can happen? Well, I tell you, I know. I experienced what the worst that could happen. You get fired. So what? You go on.

I applauded when his show got pulled because of his idiotic 9/11 comment.
I watch his show occasionally because I love the intros and I love the "New Rules", but the guy is repugnant in many of his opinions.
The way he tears into religion like it's brain cancer? He's a bigot.

And no. He is not "pulling people's leg" when he does that crap.

Where the hell have I given Bill Maher slack?

I think he and Ann should be locked in a room together, except the funny thing is that they are FRIENDS.
I seriously believe they have more in common with their vileness than they do apart.

And on that, I can partially agree.
There are areas where Ann has points which are not just made up of idiotic hyperbole.
However, most of the "points" I see from her are made up from absurd exaggeration and stereo-typing whereby she lumps all "liberals" together.

I think you meant to say "capable", not "able".
There is no excuse for Ann's stupidity.

Come back to the thread at a later time if you like to defend your diva.
The thread is not going anywhere...

When I come back to it the way I want to it should be going in one of your orifices.

And with that one sentence, you ignore everything I just said...

I'll take that as another indicator you are not capable of replying to the truth about Ann Coulter.

And Bill Maher admiring her because she has the courage to say what's on her mind and stick to her convictions?
Big whoop!
When what comes out of her mouth is idiotic, and she sticks to the idiotic, that makes her even more of an idiot.
Most people can learn from their mistakes...

But, I thought she just said things to make a point and that most people didn't "get" her.

So - she really does believe all this shite she spews from her wrinkled prune lips?

It's just so difficult to keep up with the apologists.

Who are you going to believe, ME or some funny looking, pot smoking, gay marriage supporting Jew boy comedian who is her friend?

I think he was just saying that to give her a poke in the ribs as friends are wont (not "want" and not "won't") to do to each other.

Are you starting to sense the same run around here that you do when discussing a certain religion that can't be pinned down?

Then why won't you?
