2. Ms. Flanders should apologize to con artists everywhere
Andrew Breitbart is a propagandist. A con artist uses other people's greed against them to sell crappy merchandise. A propagandist tells half truths and outright lies to promote the interests of one political faction over another. In doing this, the propagandist appeals less to greed than to fear.

3. he is a con man.... see, that wasn't so hard now was it
sorry Bill, but your guest is a con that doesn't deserve the attention you give him, so don't claim what Laura stated as being unfair, that's bullshit.

5. Didn't Get To Watch The First 1/;2 Hour On Friday... Will Watch Re-Run
soon, but didn't hear this part. I tuned out a bit because of Breitbart and the other Repuke guest, but part of the show I watched was relatively good. But Breitbart is so full of himself so kudos to Laura Flanders!

7. Don't you just love seeing Laura Flanders on TV besides just on GRITV (FSTV) she's not
Edited on Mon May-02-11 03:02 PM by GreenTea
on television enough....Laura Flanders is indeed sharp, bright, fast & witty and knows her stuff, she is an honest true lifetime liberal and her warm sexy smile never fails to knock me out!

Besides her show on Free Speech Television (Gritv) and an occasional appearances on Ed Schultz great MSNBC show - Flanders deserves more time on national TV!

NOTE: Free Speech Television (FSTV) is a "FREE" channel on both Directv & Dish Network as well as many local (public access) cable television company monopolies....Demand FSTV in your area!!

8. That was the only good part of the show outside of
New Rules. I usually watch the RT repeats, but with the exception of that from Laura and New Rules, the rest of the show was a bomb.

10. The look on Bill Maher's face... at Breitbart..
(on his question on whether Maher wrote his own book), ..if looks could kill..Breitbart would be on the floor by now.

15. Well, he can start by not putting this POS on.
He can also not let the obvious description of BB (by Flanders) fall to his guests.
I like this show and watch it regularly, but Maher never calls this creep out - let alone giving him credibility as a regular guest.

19. Absolutely right, Loge23.
I was all set to watch Maher last night, and I love Laura Flanders, but when I saw Breitbart, I switched it off. As Ms. Flanders said, he's a con man, and I see no reason to subject myself to the bullshit of con men. (As you can imagine, I switch off the tv a lot!

22. I don't understand this thinking
You missed him get his ass handed to him, as you must have known it would have. It's one thing to shut it off when he goes on the "mainstream" media who never questions anyone.....but I live for moments like this when he is finally called out on his bullshit.

23. You're right, Maher does deal nicely with these jerks...
but I just get truly allergic to the idiocy...it makes me sick, even when I know they're gonna get smacked down. I'm at the point where for me the only rewarding smack down would be a literal one.

Now that Bin Laden is dead, Breitbart is public enemy NUMBER ONE.

18. I didn't enjoy having to count his lies
and half truths. What's with these long hair conservatives? They remind me of a Soviet era apologist -- appearing to be hip and on your side, while trying to get you to agree with and laugh along with abominable ideas. E.g. his use of "dirty Sanchez" as if it's about the same as "tea bag". Dirty Sanchez is profoundly anti-Mexican, whereas tea bag is not an ethnic slur.

20. From what little I've seen of Breitbart
his consistent M.O. is to talk over whoever he's sitting with. Looks as if the wonderful Ms. Flanders was about ready to give him a sharp jab to the ribs.
