Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Ouch!
When Sarah Palin was chosen to be a VP, this was what she said:
Sarah Palin: "What does a VP do?"
Bill Maher: "They start wars, enrich their friends, subvert the constitution and shoot people in the face..."
But ouch back on Bill when he made a comment about her youngest kid. To me, that is not cool.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Oh no. Don't make fun of retarded babies!
LOL He had better jokes, but it was still enjoyable. It had that 'don't go there' aspect, which can often be quite fun.
Too bad she was smart enough to realize the value in abortion, eh? Having a mongoloid kid sure must suck.
Well, it wouldn't be the first mental defect to enter the White house...

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
"there is no value in abortion."
Says who? You or your invisible man in the sky your Church keeps speaking on behalf of?
"Having a child with Down's Syndrome is a joy."
Please. Don't try to BS me. No parent wants a defective child that will be in need for the rest of their life.
Wait... do you have a kid with downs? ... or have the condition yourself? ...or are you simply just an idiot?
"too bad you've had such a horrid life."
Not true. Besides, how the fuck would you know?
"It must suck being you."
Again, not true. It's fantastic being me. I have a great life. I have a wonderful woman, a loving family, a great job, two cars, a condo, no kids (hope it stays that way) and a surplus of free time each day to chat with idiots - like yourself - over the internet. Life is good to me - I pretty much do as I please.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
The joke wasn't really at the expense of the kid, more at that of John Edwards. Besides it's also not that brilliant of her to have (a fifth) child at the age for 43. The risk of genetic defects is very high at that age.
How is she to lead the US when she needs to mother five children of which one will already demand most of her attention.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
If it was a Man with 5 kids you would you have made that comment. I can give you a list of presidents with kids, just saying that just because she is a woman with children should not disqualify her

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is what I'd call evil.
One of the things she supports is the killing of wolves (aerial hunting, no less), and also bear sows and cubs. She's utterly corrupt and wants to force her fucked-up beliefs such as Intelligent Design (or Creationism; whatever) on others. Furthermore, she denies the right of women to have an abortion; likes to censor books; loves to wreck the economy; and lying is her forte.
The bitch is a complete dimwit and a great menace to the world.
She needs to be neutralized.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
"neutralized"! That is completely inappropriate! Seriously! The secret service could easily view that as a threat.
"evil" white wolf! Really? You have a very broad definition of that term. Anyone who reads your posts can easily see your hatred for the republican party but you seem to be labling her evil simply because she has different views than you. In fact most of those views are held by lot of Americans, I.e. Pro-life and a strong belief in god. Interesting that you do not comment on maher making fun of a special needs baby but call a woman evil who chose to have that baby rather than abort after she learned he had down syndrome.
So, like most republican haters you will have an anger and sarcastic filled response to my reply. Just keep in mind this is the very thing that senator Obama wants us to move beyond. We should be able to discuss issues rather than resort to this childish name calling.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Adjective: neutralized 'n(y)ootru`lIzd
1. Made neutral in some respect; deprived of distinctive characteristics
Verb: neutralize 'n(y)ootru`lIz
1. Make politically neutral and thus inoffensive
"The treaty neutralized the small republic"
2. Make ineffective by counterbalancing the effect of
"Her optimism neutralizes his gloom"
3. Oppose and mitigate the effects of by contrary actions
4. Get rid of (someone who may be a threat) by killing
"the double agent was neutralized"
5. Make incapable of military action
6. Make chemically neutral
"She neutralized the solution"
There are a lot of meanings, yet you choose to interpret only one. And attempt to frighten W_W with some kind of threat to contact the T men.
Interesting behavior in a forum.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
I had nearly finished my reply when I pressed the wrong button.
Essentially, I do not agree with your interpretation of my comment. With ‘neutralize’ I mean to make politically ineffective, harmless, by methods that are legal. Killing solves nothing in this case. It is far more preferable to educate people on the detrimental views some hold. Censoring books might not seem much of a deal to you, but in my world that stands equal to treason against the human mind. Willfully destroying the environment is another. Sarah Palin also opposed safety regulation in mining, which leads me to believe she feels no obligation at all to protect other human beings if they do not happen to be her family or friends. Furthermore, she’s a pathological liar. There’s many other reasons why I consider her evil, which, admittedly, is a word that each of us interprets differently. Truth is that evil does not exist (in my opinion), but for certain reasons I thought to use the word. Makes my opinion of her that much clearer.
She is an excellent addition to the McCain camp. Her choice is a natural one, considering she and McCain are both utterly corrupt and intend to gain personal power no matter what. Great follow-up after the Bush II years. Seamless transition. I detest those people deeply. Maybe loathing is a more apt description. Whatever. I have zero respect for those people, but I do not hate them. Not at all. Hate may be a useful emotion now and then, but certainly in my position I assure you it is not. I hate no one.
As for the Republican Party, what do you mean I hate it? Again, I do not hate the GOP per se. It’s the neocons and Christian lunatics and some other elements in that party that I abhor. Ron Paul (was a Republican nominee for president) is still my choice and he’s anti-abortion and has some beliefs I am not endorsing. But you know what, he is an honorable human being, protects the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He is reasonable, would respect personal freedom, and is wiling to discuss and change his views; Sarah Palin is or does none of these things.
If truth be told, she and her new family (including Bush II and cronies) would not hesitate to try and eliminate me and others who oppose them. The powers in control change the laws according to their advantage. Soon, protesting at all, in whatever way, may be deadly. Let them secret bastards in alliance with ‘evil’ come and get me. I have no doubt they can’t be far away. As long as they won’t touch the frozen extraterrestrial I’ve in my freezer.
Okay, back to something else: You said that I label her ‘evil’ because of her pro-life stance and strong belief in God? and many others share those beliefs, you said. Wrong of you to think I think them evil because of that. It is only when these people force their beliefs on others not having those beliefs that I ‘label’ them (the bullies) as ‘evil.’
Special-needs baby: of course I didn’t make a comment on Maher’s joke, and you know damn well why. Freedom of speech. I thought it was sort of funny, too. It wasn’t as good as the jokes that immediately surfaced in my mind, but we can’t all be W_W. However, as you noticed, I didn’t write down those jokes. By the way, it would be hypocritical of her if she’d an abortion, eh? Not that it would surprise me any; the conservatives are full of that kind of shit.
‘So, like most republican haters you will have an anger and sarcastic filled response to my reply. Just keep in mind this is the very thing that senator Obama wants us to move beyond. We should be able to discuss issues rather than resort to this childish name calling.’ – Ah! W_W without sarcasm: impossible. Anger: yes, but not at you, Black-wolf (I’ve long waited for someone having the guts to name him/herself that). Discuss issues … I was discussing issues. As for the ad hominem attacks, yes, I feel justified in doing so.
Sen. Obama: blah blah blah blah blah blah. He doesn’t care about you. Please wipe the shit out of your eyes.
All the best.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Black-wolf, this isn't meant to gang up on you, but Milk & Cookies is one of the most respectful sites I've found on the 'net.
No one has responded to you with any sort of "anger and sarcastic filled response" in spite of your efforts to pre-package yourself as some kind of Republican victim/martyr.
In fact, if you're a GOP supporter, you've been the majority and ruling power for years. You can't be Pontius Pilate for seven years and now try to put on the cloak of Jesus as martyr.
Plus if you really think there's a difference between the GOP and the DNC? Then you've already been fooled by the multinational corporations and financial institutions...
So yep. People disagree here. I've completely disagreed with both White_Wolf and spam_vigilante a number of times.
But then I've neutralized them...with my brain! Ha! Well, unless they neutralized me with their brains which, to be honest, is the more likely occurrence.
But just because you seem a little emotional and unable to follow this nuance, please don't throw around secret service threats.
Given the fact that your highly alarming take is not at all what W_W meant? It's very unfortunate that you'd try to inject fear into a discussion and end debate simply because you didn't understand.
But hey, it happens. (And usually it's probably me who doesn't understand...) So come back to M&C. Hang out with everybody. It's a cool place where even poonhound is accepted. ;-)
It'll also be a good sign if you come back so it won't seem like you're a GOP party hack trolling sites trying to stifle debate...
And who knows? Maybe you'll pick up a little on some nuance and start hanging with the critical thinking of folks here. And don't worry - you can always disagree...

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
just so we're clear, I wasn't making my secret service comments to stifle discussion. I was making it because I was truly concerned for white wolf. I've enjoyed the site for years despite what seems to be an anti Christian bias (I.e. All the dawkins and pat cordell -sp? videos) I know that white wolf has posted a ton of videos (500?) and I just wanted to warn him that the term "neutralized" may be interpreted incorrectly. I see from his post that he meant to use it in a non-threatening way. I actually enjoy reading his comments and decided to take the opportunity to voice my opposing view.

Re: Bill Maher on Sarah Palin
Allow me to be the first to welcome you to the interwebs! Here, people often make hyperbolic statements or otherwise exaggerate in order to make their point. As a presumably rational and intelligent consumer, you will be expected to interpret these remarks as you read them. If you happen to misinterpret any of these comments, failure to keep your mouth shut will result in you being 1) corrected, 2) flamed, 3) otherwise mocked, or 4) all of the above. Once again, I'd like to welcome you to the interwebs and I hope you have an enjoyable experience. Glad to have you aboard!

Wow, You would think that someone you never heard of or knows anything about would be less hated. Well I am only voting Democtrat becuase of the class war not that Democratic ticket will support my interest but they will not make they Tax cut permanent.
I do like the fact that she sold a governors jet on E-Bay, and yes all I know about her is from her wiki. The mudslinging about a parent with a child with Downs syndrome should stop though. Some of the comments I read on hear from bloggers are to say the least crude.
By they way all the people that fight over Republican or Democrats are just Fan Boys. We are sitting back watching a couple of millionaires pointing fingers at each other stating he is an elitist. Meanwhile they both will have more money than they can personnaly count and are trying to become one of the most powerful people in the world. They acheive this by duping society into believing that they will uphold your ideals.
