‘F**k Facts!’: Bill Maher Lashes Out at Conservative Panelists Who Defended Romney’s Libya Debate Claims

Bill Maher Lashes Out at Conservatives Defending Romneys Libya Debate Performance

Bill Maher (Photo Credit: HBO)

A heated discussion about the Obama administration’s handling of Libya erupted during Friday night’s episode of “Real Time With Bill Maher.” MSNBC contributor Goldie Taylor and Maher clashed with National Review’s John Fund and writer Boris Epshteyn over Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s handling of the sensitive issue during the second presidential debate.

Maher and Taylor railed against Romney, claiming that his accusation that President Barack Obama didn’t promptly call the events that led to the deaths of four Americans in Libya “an act of terror” were untrue. Maher, doubling down on his assertion, played a clip from the debate in which Romney definitively said, ”It took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.”

Mediaite has more about the on-air debate that subsequently unfolded:

Maher began by noting the Libya moment from the second presidential debate, when Romney said the president didn’t call the attack an act of terror until 14 days later. He then showed a quote from the following day — in which Obama said “no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation.” As well as a quote from the day after.

This is a gaffe, Maher said. As Fund and Epshteyn heatedly argued against that point, Taylor told them, “You watched Mitt Romney on the president, and buck his ass right into the hall.”

Maher himself was hung up on his central point: Romney said it took the president two weeks say act of terror, but the quotes say otherwise. “Please admit that,” he said. Epshteyn argued that Obama “didn’t call it terror” despite using the phrase.

Maher, clearly unable to handle the more conservative opinions espoused by Fund and Epshteyn, said, “You guys are so f–ked up,” and proceeded to voice annoyance with the fact that they wouldn’t agree with the notion that Romney was incorrect in his debate assertions.

“Your attitude is, ‘f–k facts,’” the host continued.

As the conversation progressed, Maher also said he couldn’t understand why the conservative panelists wouldn’t admit that the video may have played a part in the violence that unfolded in Libya — especially considering protests in other cities that ignited as a result of the controversial anti-Islam clip.

ROTFL – libs think they can get off on a technicality. Anyone who speaks English knows that the phrase “acts of terror” was not referring to the attack in Bengazi, but that matters not to an administration who’s reelection campaign is falling apart. Even if “acts of terror” was referring to the Bengazi attack it still remains that barry hussein blamed the video for 2 whole weeks, blaming it at the UN, even though his press sec admitted it was planned terrorism 3 days earlier.

The prez believes he can write history any way he chooses. He’s gotten away with it for YEARS. The media has ignored ALL of his past associations, which won him the first election. He pushed through legislation with only dummycrap votes, massive bills with all kinds of hidden powers being given to nameless beaurocrats that barry hussein gets to appoint. Fast and Furious would have unhinged any other presidency in history, but for the media. If W. had been providing weapons to Mexican drug lords he would have been (rightly) accused of waging a secret war against Mexico.

It is unravelling before his eyes. His dream of fundamentally transforming America, from the worlds Superpower into just another nation is fading. From the greatest wealth creator into a depended group of socialist thugs ready to riot if their “right” to free food, free housing, free phones, free contraceptives are taken away.

I expect something BIG to happen prior to the election. Peace/war with Iran? Who

  I predict that the “something big” you are anticipating will be the capture or killing of a person or persons whom we will be told were the perpatrators of the Benghazi attack. I pray I am wrong.

  The October Surprise might be Washington and Iran announcing an agreement allowing nuclear facility inspections and the intention of converting their existing nuclear stockpile to “medical” use. This announcement would be made Wednesday afternoon before the election. These “inspections” will never happen but might give Obama a 9 point bounce in the polls.
  
  Iran would prefer Obama be re-elected because he is a paper tiger.

  Extra security at the consulate wouldn’t make any difference. The security personnel were not allowed to have lethal ammunition. Obama didn’t want an incident of Americans shooting Libyans. Rubber bullets and tear gas isn’t much defense against AK47s and rocket propelled grenades.
  
  Two drones were flying over the compound during the attack taking video pictures. Releasing the video would settle this issue.

  Drphil69:
  So do I, and coupled with the DHS contracting for 1.4 BILLION
  rounds of ammo, I don’t have a warm, fuzzy feeling about it.
  Obamas grip on power is fading, so I’m expecting something
  explosive as an excuse to “suspend the elections ’cause our
  country is just in too much turmoil right now’”.
  Scenario? How about this: Joint US/Israel strike on Iran,
  about a week before the election. Iran and the other
  Muslim nations ‘unleash’ all their sleepers already in the US.
  Riots/mass killings everywhere, Obama imposes Martial Law.
  And then under Martial Law, suspends the election “until we get
  things under control”. Then he can bring in all the UN troops to
  go after all We The Peoples guns. (Because surveys of our own
  military during the 80s and 90s showed not enough of our own
  troops would be willing to kill their brothers, sisters, fathers, etc.)
  Thus the UN troops. I sure hope I’m wrong, though.

A large segment of this group has taken their Overton Windows and thrown them off the cliffs of the Right. You all see everything as a conspiracy and all the forces in the world are plotting & planning against you. Just a bunch of senile old people with one foot in the grave and hearing aids cranked up to catch every wave of static on your police scanners. You’re gossiping with your church members about how righteous you are while your pedophile-turned-preacher talks out his ass since you’re dumb as sheep. IF YOU WANT THE CONSPIRACY TO GO AWAY JUST TAKE YOUR PILLS LIKE THE NURSES HAVE REPEATEDLY TOLD YOU.

  Well Bill apparently your group doesn’t know what the facts are either. What we do know is that Libya was recently overthrown by force, does not have a functioning security system and the Obama administration State department denied repeated requests for more security. We do know that! And that there was no “video” link.

  What is perhaps the biggest shame is this woman’s end run around reality, thinking she has a better idea or a enhanced clue as to knowing/believe what’s going on in the world rather than the other guests. CLUE for the woman: just because you serve (putting on the uniform as she said) does not provide you with better/enhanced insight. For all anyone knows about her comment, she served in CONUS. Wake up…
  
  For BM, he continues to be a vocal piece for all libs…. Sir, “acts of terror” is not synonmous with calling a specific event an “act of terror.” This has been commented on by thousands by the tenth/hundrenth…. No way to state it other than to say Romney is accurate.

  If Obama really meant Bengahzi was a terrorist act, why did he and his administration walk it back and use the video as the reason? Why did his administration deny a terrorist attack? Why did our UN ambassador deny terrorism and blame the video?
  
  There is no way to play this except for the truth which doesn’t seem to work in Obama’s administration and on Maher’s show.

  @4:13 Slick Willy Maher explains an intelligence report came out that said the protests on the Consulate in Benghazi were a spontaneous result of the protest’s in Egypt.
  
  Well, the protests in Egypt were about the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. CNN did a report the same day which showed demonstrators protesting carrying signs that called for the release of the Blind Sheik. Why have signs made up on 9/11 calling for the release of the Blind Sheik if it was all about the film, Slick Willy?
  
  p.s. I really hope Maher repents. I not only feel bad for his demonic possession, but how he swayed his Dads timid faith. Obviously, his dad wasn’t Born Again then, but still, Maher didn’t help his salvation any.

Of course I’m making the assumption that there are actually any liberals with AN ounce of brains. Bill is a troll of the highest level and those who lack the inteligence to research the facts themselves will take what he says as gospel and journalism.

  Absolutely! If you listen to the statement Obama made that day at the Rose Garden, even my nine year old can tell you Obama made the statement after he began talking about 9/11. It was 9/11 he was referring to!!!! the statement about “no act of terror” it was after he changed the focus of his speech to 9/11!!!!!! Not Benghazi!!!!

  Ok…here is the difference in what is being said, and repeated…
  
  “…acts of terrorism won’t be tolerated” vs. “…the attack on the embassy was an act of terrorism”
  
  The first statement mentions something about terrorism, the second statement directly calls it an act of terrorism! Your prezbo, Odumb@ss, Mr. Maher consistently refuses to call an actual act of terror an act of terror!
  
  Further more, Mr. Maher, your prezbo Odumb@ss, is VERY consistently degrading the position of, and the office of the ACTUAL President of the United States!
  
  Example: is he trying to give legitimacy to the likes of Slim Leg Pimp Daddy (whatever), by giving the interview to him, or is he simply making the statement that Slim Leg Pimp Daddy, is of more national security interest that the likes of Israel’s prime minister? Here is your prezbo’s plan…say ANYTHING loud enough, and OFTEN enough…then just maybe…some of the voters might hear it and think it is true! Ahhhh…BUT…prezbo Odumb@ss has a four year record for EVERYONE to see! It is that Mr Maher…that will show exactly how stupid people like YOU are!

I did not say these people are deluded, God does, and takes responsibility for it.
  There was no written law, when Cain slew Abel, but the Lord called it murder. Cain ‘spiritually’ knew it was wrong. Ecclesiastes teaches us that there is nothing new under the sun. Human nature and the nature of God have NOT changed. Not one jot.

  the prez happened to say the phrase act of terror not directly applied to the tragedy in Libya. He and his minions not once but multiple times refered to the video as the cause or catalyst of the Libyian tragedy.So either it is correct that he new it was an act of terror and then denied it for two weeks which is worse or he lied from the begining and was lucky enough to have the word terror come up and use as ridiculous excuse to back track on his lies. HE CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

  The statements made prior to Obama’s use of the word ‘terror’ … was he referring to the 9/11/01 or 9/11/12 attack? It’s not clear. Our focus needs to be on the lies following the event.
  
  Paragraph 8: “Of course, yesterday was already a painful day for our nation as we marked the solemn memory of the 9/11 attacks. We mourned with the families who were lost on that day. I visited the graves of troops who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan at the hallowed grounds of Arlington Cemetery, and had the opportunity to say thank you and visit some of our wounded warriors at Walter Reed. And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.”
  
  Paragraph 9: “As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.”
  
  Paragraph 10: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.”

  The real question is: Why does obama want to raise taxes on the middle class? Take a look at what’s been proposed if he wins, and it will pass:
  ========================
  A 1% tax on all bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for. … Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Security or a pension fund and have it direct deposit??
  
  Well guess what. The Obama administration wants to tax it 1%!!! This bill was put forth by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA). YES, that is 1% tax on ALL bank transactions – HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time money goes out. Ask your congressperson to vote NO.
  
  ———–It doesn’t sound like much, but look at your statement and see how many checks you write each month X 1%, then see how many checks you depositX1% and do you get SS checks, other direct deposit checks? X1%. ie: If you get $5,000 to deposit, it will cost you $50. Is this tax fair?

  Interesting perspective. Sort of like how Fast & Furious was possibly initiated to then blame lax gun laws and thus further restrict gun ownership of law abiding citizens. At the same time F&F was in full throttle, Hillays, Obama and the Mexican Prez were saying the violence in Mexico were partly due to the availability of guns in the US. Hmmmm. Interesting parallel.

THE CORRECT TERM FOR THESE destroyers of the Republic are LEFTISTS or Communists. That is what they are…they are not liberal. A liberal is someone like John Stossel. He believes in small Constitutional government and Free Markets. These people believe in redistribution and Central Planning which is Communist. Call them what they are….THEY WILL HATE IT. They hide behind chosen words so to deceive the public.

  Agree. Bill Ayers admits to being ” against capitalism ” but guess even Weatherman- terrorist Bill can’t bring himself to use the appropriate term, Communist, like Van Jones did. These Obama guys are just a bunch of Communist wolves hiding in Democrat sheep’s clothing . Liars and deceivers all. Disciples of Lefty Saul Alinsky and his much-admired first real radical, Lucifer !

  PIGSFLY….hey bro..
  …If I use the term ‘liberal’ I mean socially promiscuous. Stossel is a libertarian. That’s like a liberal with decency and morals. When I hear liberal I think, coward, liar, sexually indiscriminate, self absorbed, falsely compassionate, hive minded, vindictive, left wing, secular. We must communicate in the vulgate, and ,now, that is the definition. I know the ‘honorable’ JFK, was “liberal”, but the meaning has been twisted, and no longer should be used to describe him, nor should the word ‘democrat’, that meaning has lost its significance, also.

  UNALIEN……The lack of context is due to lack of historical veracity. If historical precedence is ignored or purposely altered, It is useless. It seems the only people on the planet who have this peculiar ability to discern the truth, are bible bangin’, scholarly Christians. I am not talking about ”church”. The churches for the most part have fallen to political correctness and are in the process of ‘apostasy’. They have forfeited the protection and the blessings of the Lord. Pray for the souls exposed to this, for they can be led into a lot of trouble. http://theseason.yolasite.com/

THINK you know what happened in Benghazi?
FoxNews did a wonderful job in putting all the facts of the Benghazi attack in chronological order, in one show I watched yesterday, Brett Baier hosting. – Watch the astonishing video here –

Bill O’Reilly nailed it. Where the Lib argument falls apart is —— if Barry is given the
benefit of the doubt [he shouldnt be because he didnt call it a 'terrorism attack'] then
why did Rice, Carney and numerous other regime mouthpieces continue for over 2
weeks to call it a “spontaneous demonstration instigated by a youtube video” ?
Carney went even further saying it had nothing to do with Americans, the US, 9/11,
etc. and that it was all because of the “video”.

Intelligence reports within 24 hours of the incident state unequivocally it was a
terrorist attack. Even the Regime’s “we wanted to be careful with the facts
and not get ahead of ourselves” excuse is total BS. 4 Americans are dead —
How about err on the side OF AMERICAN LIVES for a change?

Romney needs to nail them to the wall on this Monday night.

Until then, make him try to explain himself, without the innuendos. He’ll be lost in any debate that concerns the word of God.

This is just further proof (as if any were needed) that Bill Maher’s relationship with facts is on the rocks. Someone should call the domestic abuse hotline on him for the way he abuses facts. Typical leftist tactic, find a point, remove context, spin it into some semblance of a counterpoint, pretend it is a fact that the opposition is just too dumb to see, and get really mad about it when opposition refuses to concede to idiocy.

  DORA: How much did you give Romney?
  
  Conservatives don’t have to give Romney any money, though we’re unavoidable making donations to Barry. We aren’t buying access to or special favors from Romney, like Big Bucks Bill with Barry, who gave him a million. Instead millions of us are giving Romney are moral support and individual votes on election day. Romney doesn’t need our cash just our votes. Besides we aren’t like you limolibs. We don’t have the luxury, nor do we want it, of being able to take from the taxpayer and give it back to Barry, like Barry has done with the unions, that is take from the taxpayer give it to the unions so they give it back to him in the form of contributions; or when Barry buys votes with taxpayer funded junky cell phones and millions of other cheezy handouts. Oh no. We know Barry’s nasty litttle secret, which isn’t much of a secret. Barry and the dems, what a bunch of con artists, swindlers and thieves. Support him if you want. To make it a little less painfull for you, you might want to grease your A.H. because he’s sticking it to you, the rest of us have had it with him, well except for maybe Wango who apparently likes it when Barry sticks it to him.

The fact is Bill likes the people who never heard of Bengahzi or Ambassador Stevens. You know, the ones who will say they watched a debate that had not happened yet.

These are the type of people that the left loves. They will vote Obama without a single fact of his failed, miserable Presidency entering their heads.

I’m so sick of this entire debate. If people will just LISTEN to Obama’s speech in the Rose Garden they will hear that he was previously tooting his own horn about how he visited the veteran’s cemetery and the wounded soldiers in the hospital in honor of 9-11-2001, and was GENERALLY referencing ALL terrorist activity, but did not SPECIFY that the Benghazi attack be included under this label of a “terrorist act”. He was just trying to act like a big shot, and used the date of 9-11 to show what a wonderful person he was and what he did the previous day. To see what I’m talking about, start the video at 3:20.

  Also interesting, is that there was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for Obama to mention, what HE, his MAJESTY did the previous day on 9-11. This was a political speech. Even though he talked about his visits to the cemetery and hospital in a low tone, he wanted to make sure that everyone knew what HE did the day before. He tried to make something all about HIM again. Well, it sure is becoming “all about HIM”!

Don’t worry – this will all be coming out – and there was NOTHING spontaneous about this. I cannot Bill is so uninformed, as a media figure he should be better prepared. His argument rings fully hollow.

Maher can’t comprehend the difference between “acts of terror” plural and “act of terror” referring to Benghazi only. He never said it was a terrorist attack by terrorist until two weeks later. He made a general statement. Even Candy Crowley walked back her part in this and said Romney was right.

He continually went out and said it was an “unplanned attack” and from a video that no one saw (accept in their minds). They did not want the American people to know the guns and other arms we gave to the rebels fighting Gaddafi were actually going into the hands of Al-Qaeda. This is another “Fast and Furious”. I said this on Twitter even before Glenn made this case and that the media is just now beginning to say.

Obama was covering up this fact to draw attention away from their botched arms running AGAIN.

  It is obvious to me that gadhaffi was not ‘on board’ with obama’s handler’s ideas of what an arab leader is supposed to do, or how he was supposed to act. He was too independent to be of any use to the globalist agenda, so he had to go. That is the same way obama thinks of the American “middle class”. Hmmmm….. that could explain a lot, couldn’t it?
