Question: When is Bill Maher debating Ann Coulter?

[Clintonista2]

I had heard something about him debating her (on his show?), but I was wondering if anyone has any details regarding when this is happening. Thanks.

1. Hopefully when I'm not watching.

She makes me physically ill.

6. It's not on TV as far as I know - on stage as a speaker series

2. Part of a speaker series in NYC, Boston and Chicago

5. Is debating the latest euphemism for porking?

:rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. never. they are close friends.

[bridgit]

8. Ding! Correct! He actually thinks she has something to say

[Clintonista2]

9. They may be close friends but they are still debating

as poster #2 answered.

[RamboLiberal]

11. Yep - they are debating

16. exactly. you can't trust Mahr for the company he keeps.

No way can someone be friends with such a vile hateful clueless person like that and have any convictions to your own beliefs. He validates what she stands for by giving her a platform for it.

[JTFrog]

10. I think he's master debater since they broke up. n/t

[tavalon]

14. Ow, just Ow.

[spanone]

12. there is no debating her. she's dead in the head.

[tavalon]

13. These two people are in such different spheres intellectually,

I think it would be painful to watch. Ann Coulter uses inflammatory games to substitute for true insight and well, Bill Maher almost embodies insight, albeit with a sarcastic bent. It's not a fair fight.

[RamboLiberal]

15. Wow - cheapest ticket in NYC other than student is $49.50

and in Chicago $35. I sure wouldn't pay that to watch that skank unless Maher could waterboard Anthrax!

[Hello_Kitty]

18. They'll probably agree 60% of the time. He's a libertarian not a liberal. eom

[Clintonista2]

19. Name an issue they agree on

Have you ever watched Bill Maher/understand who he is?

[Hello_Kitty]

20. Taxes.

He's made many comments on his show about how "unfair" the tax system is against the rich. That's 60% right there.

[Clintonista2]

22. Link?

thanks in advance

[Motown_Johnny]

21. He is a Libertarian, I assume they agree on most conservative fiscal policies

[Clintonista2]

23. The poster above says they AGREE 60% of the time

:eyes:

[Motown_Johnny]

24. I changed my post

Yep, I saw that.

changed my mind because he is a Libertarian

[Hello_Kitty]

25. When I said 60% it wasn't based on a statistical study I did.

It was a broad generalization intended to convey that they aren't as opposed as you might think. Maybe they only agree 40% of the time. The thing is, he's not her ideological antithesis.

[Clintonista2]

26. You're right

Unless it comes to issues such as the environment, gay rights, the war, abortion, religion, national security, torture, the war on drugs, euthanasia, and corporate welfare. Did I miss anything? Gee, they sound so similar :eyes:

[Hello_Kitty]

28. Taxes and women.

Maher is just as much of a misogynist as Coulter is.

Edit: To clarify that: Maher is "pro-choice" but he regards women as primarily walking fuckholes.

[kwassa]

29. how true.

the man is a shit.

[Hello_Kitty]

30. He compared breastfeeding to masturbation. eom

[kwassa]

31. Arrested development at age 13.

He hasn't changed since.

32. It's going to be in several cities, and it's expensive.

When I heard it was coming to Boston, I looked it up. I forget what the ticket price is, but it is definitely over $100. I think I'll pass on that.
