I have only seen BM a few times and thought he was funny and his
politics were similar to mine.I can understand someone not liking his
humor or politics, but I cant understand why someone would boycott
Amazon which I also personally like. Amazon promotes books and music
from people that I like and dislike who cares.If they promote our war
president who I disagree with and think he is not very Presidential who

cares. The fact that Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher,is by presented by

UPS and Cingular, should I boycott my Cell carrier and UPS my life
blood in business.Of course not. Amazon is a business making a buck
from this stuff in a country of free speech. I am curious to any one
that boycotts Amazon because of BM politics, do you boycott things like

clothing made with child labor, tools from countries that allow child
prostitution, oil from countries that you may disagree with, etc,etc.
Happy woodwoking.


Agreed. I've seen most of Maher's HBO stuff & find I agree with or at
least find amusing about 80% of what he says. If his well founded
critiques of the present US situation is "****ting on America" as one
poster said, then **** away. Can't possibly get us in any worse straits
then the mindless following & flag waving many Americans have engaged in
over the last 6 years. I especially enjoy the "New Rules" segment on
his HBO show "Real Time". Note that the main portion of this show is a
panel discussion, which while it includes people like Cornel West &
Joseph Biden, also includes people like Republican gov James Gilmore,
and right wing pundits such as Fred Barnes & yes even Bill O' Reilly. I
really have to wonder who much of his material some of the posters on
this have actually seen.
