    Uhhhhhhhhhhh,(see my uh is longer than yours) I read part of the transcript:
    http://www.safesearching.com/billmaher/transcripts/

    777, don't take what the talking heads of talk radio have to say as the pure truth afterall it is only their version of the truth they just have to exagerate it a bit to keep the audience interested.

    Actually, according to the conservatives, name calling is a sign that the one doing the name calling has run out of valid points and has nothing intelligent to offer in opposition.

    I sure hope Ann doesn't stop doing this though. Those of you who like her, please encourage her to do more and more of this sort of thing. She's better at name calling than she is at anything else, and what more could a Democratic presidential candidate ask for, or benefit from, than a red faced, screeching Coulter in her truest form? That ought to be worth a million votes!

    That show was just last Friday, there's not even a transcript up at Bill Maher's site.

    Everyone I've seen says the same thing.

    Talk radio didn't write the transcript, either - those are Bill Maher's exact words.

    Bill Maher says he didn't mean it. In HuffPo, he's qualifying his remarks since he thinks they were distorted and taken out of context. That's fine by me.

    This is a video, and those were exactly what he said:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=6zcP2W4XC3c

    He never literally said "I'm sorry the assasination attempt on Cheney failed", he's only correcting a headline on blog of an accurate transcript.

    Ann Coulter thrives, too, so it's more like:

    Coulter: 1, publicity
    Maher: 1, publicity
    Edwards: + infinity

    Again Bill Maher would have to be fully quoted to understand the context of his statement. You gave a short statement of what Bill 's statement was, that was not in line with the discussion on the program .

    One slight difference to me though is it is Bill Maher's show. Anne Coulter was a guest of the GOP and should have known how inappropriate her comments would be construed. If someone referred to her as a transgender whore in a public forum the outcry would probably be just as bad.

    Yes there is such a thing as freedom of speech...there is also such a thing as others having the freedom to call you on your hate speech and/or opinions. Just ask the Dixie Chicks. Yeah, the had the right to make their remarks about the POTUS, but the public also had the right to boycott their music.

    Personally, I think Coulter's remark took a lot of heat off of Hillary. Her "southern accent' in Alabama was pretty offensive to me as a Southerner.

    He doesn't need to apologize, he said nothing wrong! Oh course, I don't expect a [personal attack snipped] to understand.

    She has been called a transgendered right on this thread, and ain't nobody crying. She's been called a whore in plenty of other threads, and nobody cried. Usually the people here that cry about Ann Coulter cry 'cuz sumpthin she said made them mad.

    I guess nobody's gonna answer why it's OK for some to call names, but not others.

    Case closed. The left is just as mean and nasty as anyone they focus their anger on. Name calling happens, and to complain about some, while engaging in it, well, that's just silly.

    Please post the link where a liberal political commentator attended a Democratic fundraising event and called Anne Coulter" transgendered" or a "whore" or both and the the audience burst into applause. Thanks.

    No, I won't.

    She has been called transgendered, and a whore right here on a Christian message board, to much glee.

    So, I'll try one more time, is it OK to call Rush a pig, and not OK to call Edwards a faggot ?

    You won't because you can't find that link, now can you Brother Curtis? Please link where a Democrat politician at a political fundraiser has called Rush a pig and I'll denounce that also. Oh what, you're not going to do that either I guess.

    I never said anything about a liberal commentator calling Ann anything, but a general attitude of hatred & negativity from Rhandi Rhodes. I never accused anybody of what you are saying, so I can't reference it. I'm talking about right here, by christians.

    Second, the guy who started this thread has called Rush "Pig-boy". I await your denouncment. A-Pal has called Ann a whore several times. Again, I await your denouncement.
