I don't think anyone should boycott his show (assuming people actually watch it), but he is a stone cold idiot. And he's not funny. How does he keep getting work??
Some Call for HBO Boycott in Wake of Bill Maher's Derisive Tweet About Tim Tebow
Published December 27, 2011
FoxNews.com
HBO is catching some flak in the wake of comedian Bill Maher's crack about Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
Maher, who hosts the long-running HBO show "Real Time With Bill Maher," wrote a message on his Twitter account after the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
"Wow, Jesus just f**ked #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo’s killing them."
Tebow had thrown four interceptions in his team's Christmas Eve loss to the Bills, which prompted Maher's remark.
Tebow tweeted after the game: "Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB2."
(GB2 is a phrase Tebow has made popular that means "God Bless + Go Broncos," according to his official website.)
And while Tebow did not respond to Maher, some of his fans are calling for a boycott of HBO, urging customers who find Maher's tweet offensive to cancel their subscriptions to the pay cable channel, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Tebow has made it quite clear he believes in God, and some (including Tebow's own pastor) have said God is due some credit for the Broncos' surprise winning season with Tebow running the offense. Many were surprised when Tebow was given the starting quarterback job as he is an unorthodox quarterback with a below average arm, causing his team to run a college type offense.
The Broncos are 6-3 with Tebow as their quarterback. The prayer he says in the end zone after scoring a touchdown has been dubbed "Tebowing," helping to turn the Heisman trophy winner into a national sensation.
Maher is an avowed atheist. His "Real Time with Bill Maher," returns with new episodes on January 13, 2012.

Another communist comedian who the jerkoffs and lemmings like Straw, blackass, TA, et al eat up like pie.
-
I don't like what he says, but he has freedom of speech.
-
what's so bad about that tweet
clearly God did not favor Tebow that day
maybe Tebow wore clothes of mixed fibers or ate some shellfish and Tebow seems to "work" alot on Sunday and we know how God hates that

of course you have a problem with freedom of speech
you're the ONLY commie on this board

Yep. He has the right to call the 911 terrorists heroes. To ridicule Palin's disabled baby. And make any other asinine comment he wants. He apparently has an audience.

I don't think he called them heros
I think he called them brave which is still fucking ridiculous as there is nothing brave about being mentally ill and wanting to kill yourself and others

except it not's true but since when has that ever bothered you

Maher has always had a irrational hatred for Tim Tebow. I doubt it because he's a proud Christian. He must have some other reason. ::)

what kind of irrational hatred stuff has he done (I assume it's something other than tell jokes which is what he does about everyone left, right and center)

hatred?
All I've seen is him make a bunch of jokes about religion but he doesn't seem to "hate" any of them (in my opinion)
maybe it feels that way to other people
sometime getting made fun of can make people angry

are you sitting here trying to say that Maher is fair and balanced and is just as hard on the left as he is on the right? seriously? why has politics in this day and age made so many people so fucking full of shit? i mean you know thats not true. why do you sit here and lie?

never said he was fair and balanced and I don't he has ever promoted himself that way
I said I do not believe he HATES anyone due to their religious beliefs.
He might mock the crap out of them and ridicule them but that is not the same as hatred
for example of hatred look up your run of the mill baptist preacher and ask him what he thinks about muslims or gays and you'll see an example of hatred
if you need other examples of hatred just sroll around this board and check out any of 333's post where he talks about his seething rage and hatred for half of the people in this country. Those would be example of hatred

Unlike you and Mahr I admit I despise and loathe certain people. I make no apologies or pretenses. That is the difference. I detest every single last one of you obamabots.

he's a fu#king comedian get the fu#k over it ::) ::)

I don't despise, detest or hate anyone
not even you
I think you're a profoundly stupid person and most likely mentally ill but I don't hate you
I actually think your hatred (self admitted) is a sign (or is it a symptom?) of your mental illness

what you're saying is NOT TRUE. You probably have seen a clip or two from some liberal TV show of some baptist ministers being hateful and you've based your opinion on that. it's funny how you don't bat an eye while portraying most (when you say "run of the mill" thats what you mean. own it. don't be a pussy) baptist ministers as hate mongers because people on tv like Bill Maher have made you believe that not only is it OK to do but that you're also correct in that line of thinking. LEMMING.
The fact is that both sides are guilty of being hateful at some time or another. There are just some people who are intelligent enough to see hate for what it is and some who just don't nor ever will get it. Do you honestly see no problem in your post? Have you become that brainwashed? It's not OK to say that most Baptist preachers are hate mongers.
Here is the part where you backpedal and say thats not what you meant.

all up in arms because of what a comedian says :D :D :D :D :D

they just want tolerance shown to everyone for whom THEY think deserves tolerance. No one else. He doesn't get it. He's a well trained lemming. He sees nothing wrong with stating that most Baptist ministers are hate mongers. TV has taught him that that kind of hatred is acceptable.

ok, maybe not "run of the mill" baptist preacher.....I'll give you that but you know there are plenty of examples of true hatred by some christian preachers. Do you really need me to go find the videos for you?

According to the communist left - anyone who does not agree with living like heathen is a hater.

You don't know many baptist preachers then. I know many, and I have yet to meet a Baptist preacher whom I have ever heard say anything hateful toward Muslims or gays, or anybody for that matter. You allow the media to brainwash you into believing that those few hateful preachers you see on TV represent "your run of the mill baptist preacher."

I guess you could chalk it up to ignorance is bliss
I have to say that I know a bunch of Old, Male Republicans and most of them are financially and I think that might be the reason they are happy but a certain group have a hair trigger anger as soon as you start talking about policitics

Yeah Straw there's a lot of people who say stupid things.
all i know is that YOU will never hear ME say that a "run of the mill" Muslim is a bad person. Because that's plain old stupid. I've never thought something like that was OK to say.
The difference I'm seeing is that stupid, hick, toothless republicans say that kind of shit. People that no normal conservative republican respects or listens to.
However people like Bill Maher, whom many normal liberal democrats respect, spread the same kind of hatred and somehow this is looked upon as not only funny by his followers but also as true and correct. Somewhere along the line our liberal media decided that it was OK to spread hatred as long as it is directed at the right groups of people.
Because I'm sorry if you believe that anyone could get up on a tv show and mock a devout Muslim athlete's faith in Allah, you're sorely mistaken. And that's just plain old truth that liberals refuse to accept.

boycott hbo is fucking stupid... I don't know what he tweeted, I didn't read it and I'm not going to. I imagine it was terrible as usual with him. He's quickly becoming the biggest asshole known to mankind. If that's really the imagine he wants he's putting his already loney fuggly ass in his own prison cell. Let the guy self-destruct; it's not HBO's fault.
-
Eh, isn't this the same nitwit (Maher) who called the fighting style of the American troops cowardly?

Maher does not 'hate' Christians... as a matter of fact, if you would actually follow him, he has a deep respect for those who act "Christ like" and not just call themselves "Christians".
Of course, if you don't follow any of his stuff, then you wouldn't know.
I watch his show just like I watch O'Reilly and the rest of the political pundits... They are all just entertainers afterall, and what I found is that they all, including him, make some kooky ass statements.
Bill Maher makes a lot of valid points as well, but of course, people who don't watch him speak are going to be the first group of people saying that they "know" what he's saying. ::)
The fact is that Maher makes no apologies that he is a reformed Catholic and since this is The United States of America, he doesn't have to.
He has NEVER called the terrorists "heroes" and has gone on record as agreeing with Afghanistan and not Iraq.
So if you are going to tell a lie (Mark) then at least admit that you just made some shit up.
But you won't, so feel free to avoid this thread like the plague now, because if you come back and don't admit that you made it up, then I'll call you a fucking piece of shit liar.
33333, you know he's not a communist and if you guys would watch his show, you would know that Maher wants Ron Paul to get the nomination.
Also, he bet a million dollars to 1 that the black man would NEVER get the republican nomination, and he was right.
-
And how is this any different from the bullshit that Coulter and Rush spew?
-
Do these clowns realize that by calling for a "boycott" on his show that they are giving him free publicity and will probably get more people to watch his show?
He said something on Twitter, great, who gives a shit.
-
And how is this any different from the bullshit that Coulter and Rush spew?
If you're saying the stuff Maher spews isn't any different than Coulter that sure doesn't say much for Maher lol.
-
Eh, isn't this the same nitwit (Maher) who called the fighting style of the American troops cowardly?
Yes, and praised the 911 terrorists.

sure sounds like he has a healthy respect for tebow ::)
they guy is a hack and you idiots give him a pass while condemning rush and coulter b/c you say "he is a comedian" ::)
well lets just say that rush and coulter were making jokes then now stfu!!!
you condemn all sides for whats wrong and this wasnt this is representative of his beliefs

Who has said that Ann and Rush didn't have the right to say what they want?
Certainly not me...
What does this mean? "you condemn all sides for whats wrong and this wasnt this is representative of his beliefs"
I seriously don't understand what you are saying here.
Did I say he was a comedian? I said he was an entertainer... As are ALL of them.
Why did you respond to my post which has almost no basis for your retort at all.

I never said anyone said they didnt have a right to say something....
What you did say is that he has a deep respect for christians who act christ like.
This comment didnt come from a place of respect and he didnt mean it as a joke like others want ppl to believe(maybe not yourself specifically)
I responded to your post b/c of your comment about respect, there is no respect in this mans comment at all but it was not all directed solely at you.

Then you don't seem to understand why I said what I said... He has gone on record as showing his respect for those who are "Christ like" and not just "Christian" in name only.
He has many many Christian friends and while they do not agree with his stance, they all seem to think he's a genuinely good guy.
Again, I think it's interesting that people are lying about what he has said... People like Mark over there who is as full of shit as a Christmas goose.

Thats fine and dandy, I dont see where he gets to decide who acts "christ like" and who isnt but thats neither here nor there.

if thats what some ppl consider respect then I would hate to see what they consider hatred.

I think that when you model your actions after Jesus, then you are acting christ like and not just being "a christian"... I don't see how difficult it is to do or see that.
Were these exact comments respectful... of course not... but Maher has always had an issue with people who point up at the sky when they do well, but don't point up at the sky when shit goes haywire.
His issue is that there is a lot of hypocrisy when it comes to what people say God is responsible for.
Did he "Tebow" when he threw an interception, or only when it was a TD?

I think you and mahr have a fundamental misunderstand of Christianity and b/c of that tebows actions.
First of humans are not Christ, it is in our nature to sin and it is through Christ that we obtain redemption.
Trying to hold a person to the standards of Christ is ridiculous b/c they will always fall short.
Second tebow never said that God plays a role in the outcome of games. He has given him the ability to play and its up to Tebow to use that ability.
He is giving grace to God and saying that this was possible b/c God made it so. God also made it possible for tebow to suck ass or for the other players to play better.
Tebow acknowledges this and has said that God doesnt favor him over other players on the field.
To think the way mahr does about that is just assinine and again shows a complete misunderstanding.

I don't think you are in any way capable of saying what I nor Bill Maher do or do not understand about Christianity.
I, myself spent my entire primary school years in a Christian school, taking Bible study every single day and learning what it supposedly means to be a 'Christian'.
So you will have to excuse me if I don't think your knowledge of what Christianity is trumps what my knowledge of it is.

Again thats fine and dandy, you both still seem to have a misunderstanding about what tebows views are...
and as a Christian or Christian educated individual you feel its ok to compare someones actions to Christ? Really?

I think every Christian is supposed model themselves after Christ... will they fail? Certainly, but that doesn't take away from the fact they are supposed to try.
"Become like unto me", says our Lord Jesus Christ. Be Holy as I am Holy. (Leviticus 11:44)
Say again?

correct but you see the difference is when ppl like mahr and other arrogant atheistic morons make light of a person sinning. That is part of Christianity and doesnt mean that a person isnt a good Christian it simply means they made a mistake as we humans do.
What part of Tebows behaviour do you and mahr find offense and not "Christ Like"?

I never said I found him offensive... I find most of his fans offensive, but not Tebow personally.
I do not know why Maher finds him offensive... I can not speak on that.
Maher and I do not have sunday brunch or anything.

sorry you just seem to know a good amount about him and his views so it was a natural question.
you seemed to point towards a perceived hypocrisy but I guess well just have to take mahr's comment as an irrational hatred of a christian qb then...nothing new under the sun really

I know a lot about Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh too, but I don't eat dinner with the guys.

Just saying, your earlier post seemed to point to a perceived hypocrisy as the reason for the disrespectful tweet from the twit but again I guess will just have to chalk it up to irrational hatred of a Christian, nothing new under the sun

How does that equate to hatred of a Christian? I'm still not sure how you get that.
How is that even hatred?

what other reasoning do you see behind his tweet?
other than irrational hatred, I can rephrase it to irrational dislike if that makes you feel better?

Just like every other tweet around... It's pointless.
He probably is getting ready for his new season and wanted some publicity... Boom... publicity.

True that it was pointless

i dont care if tebow is religious. he's not annoying to me in the least because of that. god bless him.
what annoys me is the 4th grade pep talkspeak he keeps using on the mic.
"i just have to try harder, and give 110% effort..."
No, Timmy, you need to throw faster and with more accuracy - you're telegraphing shitty passes. It's that simple.

He might not hate a Christian per say, but I think I've listened to enough of his remarks to believe that he hates Christianity.
I can't point exact interview dates and times, but some of the ones I've listened to he's argued that it's unacceptable for mature, intelligent, adults to believe in "fantasy", he argues that Christianity interferes with science, and that religion in general is the cause of most war and conflict.
I won't debate those points with you as it's more religious board shit, but, to me at least, that comes across as hating Christianity (or any other religion).

Agree. And anyone who praised 911 terrorists like that idiot should never have access to a microphone.
But I completely understand why he has an audience.

You are a god damn lying piece of shit.
He NEVER praised any 9-11 terrorists... HE SAID they were not cowardly because they stayed in the planes to die.
You are a fucking liar.

Maher does not 'hate' Christians... as a matter of fact, if you would actually follow him, he has a deep respect for those who act "Christ like" and not just call themselves "Christians".
Of course, if you don't follow any of his stuff, then you wouldn't know.
Did you watch Bill Maher's "Religious"? He showed no respect for anyone who acts "Christ like." Did you listen to him interview Francis Collins at the beginning? He showed no respect for him, a scientist and a devout Christian whom even Richard Dawkins has respect for.
As examples of "good scientists who are sincerely religious", Dawkins names Arthur Peacocke, Russell Stannard, John Polkinghorne and Francis Collins.

I did... did you see the scene with the Christian Truckers? Or how about the priest from the Vatican?
Apparently we did not see the same thing?

So you did see Maher show no respect for Francis Collins. Collins on the other hand was very respectful and nice to Maher.
Maher showed no respect for those truckers and did nothing but ridicule and aggravate them. The preacher on the other hand was very nice to him.
The priest from the Vatican was being very critical of other Christians and of the Church. Of course Maher liked this priest.
Yes, we saw the same thing.

The bold words are vague. This conversation is going to go nowhere until someone defines that stuff in more detail. Otherwise it's a waste of time.

Apparently you missed the part where Maher said to the truckers thank you for being "Christ Like" and not just calling yourselves "Christians".
You consider this "No Respect"?
Wow... We must interpret things differently.

lol bro for every one and there probably arent many vids like this there are 10 to counter it.
Its obvious that his tweet wasnt out of respect for tebow, just give it a rest
again, who is mahr to determine what is "christ" like and what isnt?
-

All you have to do is watch about 10 minutes of that idiot to know he hates Christianity. The fact he praised 911 terrorists doesn't help his cause either.

I think we are all capable of understanding what is "Christ like".
I feel very comfortable in saying that I've read enough of the gospels to understand what is "Christ Like".
Of course I don't consider myself Christ like, but then I don't claim to be.

Everything you just typed can be true, and my point still stands. Going back and forth saying something is "nice" or "rude" or "hateful" or "kind", etc is pointless unless something specific is brought in and words are given precise definitions. That's like 2 people arguing whether something is orange or red when it is in between being clearly red and being clearly orange.

Stop telling this bold lie Mark... he did not praise them.
He said they were not cowardly... To put your life on the line for a cause is NOT cowardly... That's a fact.
You don't like what they did, and neither do I, but stop fucking lying. It just makes you a bigger asshole.

This post makes absolutely no sense.
Please define:

"Typed"
"are"

Until I see some hard definitions from your douchebag ass, your post is nothing more than meaningless dribble, not fit to grace the pages of the political board.

Bullshit...that's OPINION.
I think people who commit suicide are cowardly. Living is hard. Living is tough. Killing yourself...and in this case, taking others with you...is cowardly.

What the hell are you willing to die for?
I can name 2 maybe 3 things on this EARTH... and 2 of them are my kids... so no... it takes a lot of strength and courage to die for something you believe in.
Sorry dude.

I don't think you know what post modernism is. I hate post modernism. The art is crappy and the books suck. I was trying to help along the argument by pointing out the problem that vague words pose for this thread. Those two guys (i don't care enough to see who it was) could go back and forth for hours saying something was "nice" or "mean" or "rude" or "generous", etc.

Ok Skip... Well in MY OPINION, it's not cowardly at all to die for what you believe in.
Do you think that people who fight in wars for what they believe in are also cowards?
Well, ok then... I'll tack on everyone that fought in pretty much every war ever, knowing they were most likely going to die a coward.
Nice to understand your stance on this.
Or is this one of those double standard things? It's only brave if the cause is also what YOU believe in?

Oh brother...somebody doesn't agree with Tu so he starts acting like a child.
Grow up.
Then we'll discuss.

I think the smarter you are - the less likely you are to pledge your allegience and purpose for being to a book written by mortal men.
The smarter you are, the more you realize we humans really don't know much about how we got here and where we go when we die.
Nothing wrong with saying "I don't know the answer..."

I will consider your response the equivalent of "but, but, but".
My points are quite valid, but I guess you don't like them.
Quite sad, I thought you were better than that.

Yes, he was expecting them to be jerks and to be disrespectful like he was to them, but instead they were kind to him.
Like I said, Maher has freedom of speech and can say whatever he wants. He is entitled to his opinion about anybody. But you say Maher has a "deep respect" for people who act "Christ like", yet look at what this thread is about, Maher attacking Tim Tebow and showing no respect for the man.
I don't know that much about Tim Tebow and I don't follow American football, but from what I have seen, heard and read, Tebow is a devout Christian, a genuinely nice guy who treats everybody with respect. What has Tim Tebow done to Maher? Does Tim Tebow not act "Christ like" enough for Maher? ::)

Tebow hasn't done anything wrong......Well except for kind of sucking as a qb.......but i digress. Maher's first inclination when he sees a high profile athlete's public display of pride as a CHRISTIAN is to attack him and try to mock and discredit the man. Were the things he said that bad? No. But he deserves some flack over it for the sheer fact that everyone knows that he despises Christianity and that he's not doing this for the sake of comedy. He is a comedian with a "political agenda". And he's not funny. Comedy for the sake of mocking those you hate ceases to be comedy.

Another communist comedian who the jerkoffs and lemmings like Straw, blackass, TA, et al eat up like pie.
hey, count me in, too.
I Tebow....er, Tivo all of his shows.

Great points. Absolutely no reason for him to ridicule someone like Tebow. There are plenty of self-aggrandizing athletes he can pick on.
Maybe if Tebow praised 911 terrorists like Maher did, Maher would become a fan. ::)
