#2 'Republicans don't care about dead Mexicans'

Lest we forget, remind me again who was who started F&F without a hope in the world of tracking those guns?

#3 Maybe they care about Americans that are going to die if O & Co are not removed by constitutional means?

#4 I think those 200 dead Mexicans would be dead even if we hadn't sold them guns. They would have gotten the guns somewhere else.

Hmmmmm...sounds like Billy Boy don't care much about dead Mexicans either.

McGovern would have lost in 1972 with or without any second rate burglary and/or bugging, be it in the Watergate complex or anywhere else.

#6 I certainly can't speak for all Republicans, but I know at least one who does care about a dead Bill Maher.
Careful, Mein Herr, you're bumping up hard against the line...

It's 'meneer' in Afrikaans.

#8 Yaknow...I'm old enough to remember when it was the liberals and hippies that railed against The Man. Look how far they've progressed.

#9 Should read "does not" care... but delete it if you feel it is too offensive. My apologies.... I just cannot stomach the man.

#11 Self described libertarian who made a career attempting to be impartial yet edgy who, in reality, has dumped $1mil dollars into the Obama wedding registry likely because nobody really likes him they just prefer to not be involved in his high plane pondering of profanity and quite personal remarks.

This champion of the little person in the masses recently became a part owner of the NY Mets and so is not a major dissident of Bloomberg intrusionism, showing himself to be what he would call one of the damned 1%s but also weak in his own self described value system.

So in a very personal and shallow way, he is actually a very short, small man who made a career posing as a creepy year old with a pompador hairstyle in strange senior picture poses with his girlfriend, though only one person was in the photograph. He is the same now, only 55+.

To his credit, any doubts I had about the bulk of liberal theology he dispelled for me. I'm sure after hours of deep meditation, in a flurry of creation he had this line in the starting gate waiting upon the cue. So now he has had time to think about it, perhaps a couple of questions. 1: So Mexicans just kill themselves because they can't help it? 2: The sale of automatical weapons to drug dealers is ok?

#12 Oh, and the opening dialogue where he has to explain to us lowly people what is going on, why is that?

#13 It's because F&F has been ignored by the mainstream media. No liberals have heard of it.

#14 Did he (selectively) overlook the dead American, perhaps?

#15 Brian Terry served in the military and joined the Border Patrol protecting our national security. I think if you did a Venn diagram between Maher and Terry you'd have to use separate sheets of paper

#16 Remember, the left are the guys who talk about the Rethuglican War on Women and then turn around and implement a foreign policy that amounts to "Bros Before Hos."

And if it had been W who had given them the guns, so what? Right?

I think that is part of the answer, I think the other part is attempting to frame the arguement. Their mistake is that will only work for those who have solely received their news from those network shows. Yes, there are those who only get their news from Daily Show (Stewarts bit was fairly accurate especially for that show), but there are those who overhear news broadcasts from such places as airports. Expect Tyme and Newspeak articles.

Media bias, what media bias? Well case in point, where was the uproar a la Limbough NFL Team for Mahar's purchase of a share of the NY Mets? Mahar is a well documented unabashed sexist, punctuated with the Palin attacks.

No, these people would still be alive.
