[hamlet]

[fishnut]

Amen.

I watched him once. Five minutes in, I was more ready to commit violence than I have been at any point since I whipped some kid on the bus in 10th grade. Seriously, if I was on his show, I couldn't help but to hit the guy......he's a supreme douche, and the crowd seems to love it.

I watch that one time its that show real time right. Some time you have to keep your friends close and your enimies closer. I like to read, and watch left wing stuff just to get an Idea what they are trying to do and when they might be trying to do it so i can toss out as many road blocks and tire spikes, or anything else that might be needed to stop them. Its kind of like the being a spy but they put the stuff right in front of me.

I can't stand him for all kinds of reasons. I really don't like the way he trys to tell Christians they are idiots for believing in god. He has the right to not believe, but not the right to insult others for their beliefs. It's just sad. He's definitely a little punk b#@!.

[SGT.Bunghole]

Simply tell a christian you don't believe in god and that christian will tell you your going to burn in hell for all of eternity, flames will consume your soul, that your an immoral sinner ect..... That's not so nice either. So does that really make it all that bad for someone to call a religious nut an idiot? Is the same from both sides.

Kind of a double standard there.

As for marhr(SP) i dont get cable and im glad:)

I don't know too many Christians that do that. I don't think there is really a double standard either, as I know I wouldn't go busting somebody's balls because he/she doesn't believe in god. Mahr made a movie where he's going into churches, criticizing preachers for their beliefs and all kinds of ignorant mess. I guess a little prissy boy like that with no talent has to do anything he can to stay on the TV set.

[SGT.Bunghole]

Does sound kinda lame if he is going out of his way to do that.

Bill Mahr is all about what is wrong with America today. He just loves to trash anyone who is not inline with his views, and does it to the point where it's considered malice.

30 years ago, you could punch a guy like that in the nose and go to court. The judge might have smacked him again for good measure.

He is your modern liberal.

Agreed 110% , J and others on this one.

I saw him on Huckabee's show the other night (over that new movie he's got coming out - Religelous or whatever - I'm guessing an attempt at putting the words "religion" and "ridiculous" together - maybe the very one you're talking about drawinout), and there were a couple of times when I thought Mahr was just acting out being an a$$, for no reason, because Huckabee was very nonconfrontational and civil with him. Mahr's views in and of themselves are not the problem; as others have said, it's his attacks.

I think I could fish with about anybody and have a good time, but I'd be tempted use Mahr for bait. :D:D

Thats the god's truth right there!!

People despise it when someone challenges the foundations of their beliefs, especially regarding religion.

Personally I have some issues with religious beliefs, but not sure I want to engage in a bloody debate over someone else's beliefs.

I'll have to check out Mahr's movie before I go supporting him, but I suspect that is where I would wind up.

Even tho I have never seen or watched his show, I have seen enough blurbs to know what he is about.

Some might say he is just being outrageous for the notoriety, a few might applaud him for challenging the status quo. (Galileo anyone ?)

As some background, my stepfather attended a seminary and was "poised" to become a priest, (didn't happen), and I have a brother who is a priest. I have been dealt more than my share of hypocritical- believe or suffer in hell speeches. I was raised and educated in the Catholic school system, and thru most of my young life believed that which was shoved down my throat.

Eventually I went out and studied "alternatives" to these basic beliefs- along with actual historical- scientific studies, came to my own conclusions about religion and life.

Visit some atheist or agonstic web sites and you'll see that inevitably some "believer" shows up and attempts to engage in logical arguments with non-believers, they usually fail quite miserably in debates based on logic and reason.

I'm only suggesting that there is, and always has been "believers" that attempt to force their beliefs on non-believers.

It's about time someone had the nads to shove it back in their face (Mahrs).

He is probably a bit outrageous in his attempts, but I am sure he likely believes in countering arguments with the same degree of force typically employed by what he would view as the "opposition".

It's difficult enough engaging in civil debates about politics, religion is even worse. My statements are not meant to offend, believe what you want, just don't ask me to be a sheep and follow the herd.

[drawinout]

I have my own beliefs as well Surf Cat. I'm entitled to them, just as you are entitled to yours, and Bill Mahr is entitled to his. However, that doesn't give anybody the right to go around forcing it on people. That goes for people on both sides of the fence. I haven't seen the movie, but in the previews he's going into churches, questioning preacher's religion, and making them out to be idiots. Just because I have an opinion, that doesn't mean I need to force it on you. For instance, if I thought your wife was a whore and came to your place of work to tell you about it, I seriously doubt you would like it too much, LOL. That might be a bad example, but you should see what I'm saying.

Point granted, I'm not a fan of forcing my beliefs on others, or vice versa.

I just find that in general, there are plenty of people hoping to convince others of their beliefs (required and considered necessary) in some religions that believe in "recruitment" so I can't help but see the irony when the tides are turned, so to speak.

That Mahrs is probably (definitely) insensitive to other's views is granted.

I'm not sure what causes us to listen to shows that we "love to hate" so to speak, but I get caught up in the same conundrum from time to time.

[hamlet]

For someone to hang around with, I'll take a humble happy "stupid and wrong" man over an arrogant rude "intelligent and correct" man any day.

Right. Well, I won't ask you to follow the herd. :D As for "believers" who "usually" lose arguments based on logic and reason, I would think that would not be unusual, as their arguments would be based on "faith." It's really not surprising that discussions of this type often lead to nothing but hard feelings, since the sides base their arguments on different bases from the get-go.

As for Mahr having the "nads to throw shove it back in their face," he's pretty much a little rabble-rouser who thrives on controversy, SC, and he goes beyond being "a bit outrageous." To me, the word "nads" implies a level of bravery. It is going to take me awhile to wrap my mind around the logic behind your comparison of Mahr to Galileo, I'll be honest. :confused:

Ditto Bubba...... there is no usefull purpose in what he does.

[wolfva]

Mahr is a self-avowed coward. He's gone on in depth at just what a scaredy-cat he really is. But, he knows absolutely nothing bad will happen to him for mouthing off, so he does. We've all seen those types of people (especially on internet forums!). They verbally attack and insult everyone they can because it makes them feel smugly superior to everyone else, and they know it's safe to do it. Of course, if you met that same person in an ally somewhere....well, their tune would change. Mahr's as well.

I stopped watching him for good when he proceeded to bash Bob Keegan (Capt. Kangaroo) after his death. That man did far FAR more in any given year of his life for others then Douche Mahr will do in 100 lifetimes.

Want to know how you can knock Mahr down a few pegs if you ever meet him in person? Just ask him about his movies, "Canabal women in the avocado jungle of death" or 'Pizza Man'. What biting political THAT drivel was.

Add bag to the 1st reply.

[lil red jeep]

Bill Mahr is the kind of jerk I would gladly lose my job for. Given one oppportunity to shove my fist down his pencil neck would be all it would take. Only problem with a guy like Mahr is where ever he is, there is also a camera, and me pounding the snot out of him isn't necessarily something I'd want on Youtube.

[Al Kai]

Yep.

[Blackbird]

I've watched Bill Mahr over quite a few years. IMHO he is a real PODS. (The "D" stands for dog) One of the most despicable persons on the planet.:--|

As for marhr(SP) i dont get cable and im glad:)

To me, a person like that can not call himself a true christian. A true christian knows that it is not there place to judge!

Does this mean that Mahr is not a true liberal?

This just shows that there are self riotous idiots on both sides of the fence!

[sprtsracer]

Truth is...Mahr will probably be elected to the Senate from Minnesota in a couple of years, LOL! :D

[Mark G]

I'll have to assume from the replies that he (Mahrs) considers himself a bit of a "shock" jock. Not having seen him I can't offer an opinion, but if he is as offensive as seems to be the case, then yeah, I might not like him either.

One can make a point without being offensive, but will add I have seen that type of behavior from both sides of the political/religous spectrum.

Not making excuses for the guy, a pill is a pill, after all.
