The story behind Matt Kibbe and Dick Armey's fallout at FreedomWorks is pure comedy though.

Republicans: Never not self-serving pieces of greedy poo poo. I love how petty and vindictive all the Republicans are, for it will end in all of them dying alone and vilified in history for destroying America for roughly 3 decades straight.

Even if you're bitching about him being a secular supremacist, that's about culture, not race. To say a population that abhors or ignores religion is better since they're smarter is hardly the same as saying "the Arabs are of impure blood and must be purged from this world in atomic hellfire."

Supporting, voting for, campaigning for, or even donating to any given Democrat is still superior because Republicans are just flat-out loving evil and do nothing but try to hurt minorities and make poor people poorer and rich people richer. So yeah, even in the case of Obama it's still better than Romney (or literally any Republican).

Well, you see, women are typically liberals (because of the whole thing where Republicans are now firmly pro-rape and anti-abortion (even in the case of the rapes they're so fond of)) and that means women should be discouraged from politics because there's literally zero in the way of ideology behind things anymore: It's all end result, no thought to making palatable the how. That's why you see STATES RIGHTS arguments and then see them immediately abandoned when it comes to something like abortion or gay marriage, because it doesn't actually matter if the states were to choose; they just want gays legally bashed and even one state choosing to allow gay marriage for themselves would be a good thing for people that Republicans hate. A fantastic example of this? Rand Paul. He was bitching and moaning about the surveillance state and Obama using drones so much that he actually filibustered something instead of just THREATENING to filibuster to prevent anything from happening, like Republicans have been doing lately. Well, a few weeks later the Boston marathon was bombed and Rand Paul IMMEDIATELY brought up how drones should be used in America to keep track of everyone at the street level and people like those bombers and even robbery suspects could be asploded with a Hellfire missile and that would be fine by him. Where was the ideological consistency between those two points?

Then when Bill put him on the spot and said "what is the worst case of racism you have experienced?" And Bill kept pressing the issue.

He could've pulled up the anecdote from his show (RIP :( ) where he polled blacks and Latinos in NYC and found a loving 500% hit rate on Stop & Frisks. Like, every single person who wasn't white was hit up a half-dozen times, while zero whites were. That's SOMETHING LIKE RACISM, BILL! Also, this show is proof that Republicans can bring nothing constructive to any setting whatsoever. There've been a handful of episodes that were tolerable in the last few years, all of them without a single Republican on the panel. I wish Bill would either stop booking anyone in elected office with an (R) next to their name. It'd increase the quality of the show tenfold, combine that with losing the comedy bits written by the worst loving hacks in LA and you might have a show worth watching now.

Because D'Souza is wrong on everything and has no argument of validity to use to defend his lovely loving beliefs and shittier loving actions. He's on a long list of Republicans I would have put on trial for crimes against the public in misinforming them about every topic he speaks on.

Painfully smug panel when it came to mining, fracking, and the entire lot of things couched jobs trumping all---I don't believe the pollster lady has ever had an appearance where she wasn't insufferable...and OT clinched it with the bizarre abortion derail. Mild chuckles were at least had on the Harlequin reading, which fared better than most of the mid-show bits.

Mild hopes for Silverman next week tempered by Frum also joining in.

I can't agree more about how the emphasis on jobs is disgusting. Yeah, no, every goddamn job related to the coal industry really should disappear so that some idiot in West Virginia's low-paying job doesn't end humanity. Sorry, I'm one of those intellectual types who thinks that fake money really ought not condemn the loving future of the planet. I'm one of those crazy liberals like that.

I think I will officially stop watching this show. Horrible episode. This show use to be insightful to me and I don't know whether it is because it has steadily gotten worse or that I am just more politically educated but drat is this show hard to watch now.

Overtime ruled, however, with the reverend praising Bill's atheism for his actions and what he stands for, stating that most 'Christians' behave like scumbags and support evil poo poo like everything on the GOP party platform. He's exactly the kind of guest they COULD put on every week-- the kind who justify the entire format of political debate shows like this. Sadly, you instead get the level of shitheadedness you see from every conservative who appears on the show. Hell, there's so many examples of them that you can't even name them all and their individual style of being a troll who derails discussion and shits on any proper debate that could happen without them present.

Someone posted on Reddit this last week, which made it to the top for a while, the picture of Dan Savage on the show with Grover Norquist, where Dan makes the joke about religious people thinking god can and does override the basic rules of biology and that he will keep inseminating his husband until god turns his rear end into a womb. Grover had a surly, bland look on his face when someone else was daring to joke on the comedy show he was on. Grover Norquist, of course, said that the Holocaust and taxation are moral equivalents. He literally said that. Any Jewish, gay, Romani, or Slavic person want to chime in and give their personal opinion on how comparable those two things are?

We do, it's called Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. If you mean panel show, and really want to see a trainwreck, check out The Nightly Show to see just how off the rails something like that could end up with someone even more incompetent in charge.

Islam is a problem because its adherents actually believe in its retarded ideology and tenets. If it were a moderated religion practiced by milquetoast adherents like European Christianity is, it would be exactly as threatening to liberal values as every other religion. That's the problem: Its believers believe and that makes them dangerous.
