Rough episode. The fiery debate helped it go by fast until Oliver Stone came in and helped cool things down and when it kicked back up into New Rules which was great.
I think I figured out why I get annoyed at Maher sometimes.
He uses polls and approval percentages quite often to open discussions or make arguments and, correct me if I'm wrong, he almost never cites the sources.
I don't put much stock in polling. The results MSNBC and Fox News, for example, get for the same question are going to be different, and I never consider these polls to be largely representative of larger populations.

The panel was hilarious...for the wrong reasons.
The poll he cited was the poll that was cited everywhere this week (NBC/WSJ)

Carol Roth was an embarrassment.

I'm surprised Matthews went after her, since she's also an NBC person.
That may have been the most infuriating element of the show. That America has to get military involved in Syra because something something Russia and China something. I mean, China and Russia do exert influence in the world, but it's done primarily through aid, investment and regional development. They don't involve themselves in quagmires that drain the treasury and send human bodies to die.
As for the guest from CNBC, it's just pathetic to see that no one from that side can admit that Obama walked into office during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The reason for high deficits is not because Obama has gone on a spending binge, but because there was a giant recession where millions of people were thrown out of a job, companies stopped spending and investing, the economy contracted and the wars were finally put on the books (something that I thought would be considered a 'fiscally conservative' thing to do). Now the deficit has been cut in half thanks to the fiscal cliff deal, the sequester, and some tax raises. You would think that conservatives would be happy with that direction but it is still not good enough. I'm glad that Carol got laughed at when she bemoaned that we aren't paying off the debt. A ludicrous notion given the current economic climate.

GTA has to have one of the most insufferable political pokes in a game out there.
Their "both sides are bad" shtick is really hard to handle. I rolled my eyes with GTA IV's whole "NPR the liberally biased network."

What makes these types of jokes funny is that there is some sort of truth to them. NPR is not Aljazeera America.
It's a parody of limo liberals, NPR is just recognizable...cheer up or you might vote Republican one day.

I already voted for Romney.
Pretty sure that's bannable.

Yeah, those were great.
It was nice to have a whole entire show with no conservative douchebags.

Yea, but when they are all to the left you get left on left violence
Michael Moore and his comment about Captain Phillips made me cringe
The movie does make you sympathetic towards the pirates but you still want them to get shit for what they did

That's one of my biggest pet peeves about Maher. I was glad the panel called him out on it.

I cringed when Maher started talking over him. He really goes over-simplistic when it comes to this subject.
Well, same goes for the liberals who won't even acknowledge that the average Muslim is about as progressive as a Southern Baptist and that Islamic terrorism has way more popular support than other forms of religious terrorism. The blame game that ensues has really gotten repetitive, which is why it's nice to have someone like Maajid on.
Shit! Neither have I.
I'll be extra careful watching tonight's episode - when did he drop the spoiler?
People still fall for her shtick?
Ditto that, can anyone tell us at what point he spoils the movie?

43/44 minute mark. He does say that he wants to talk about a couple of movies, and he mentions that Gravity is the first one. Based on what's been said above, I've turned the volume down at the moment.
Thanks! I'm going to watch later today so I'll keep this in mind.
edit - anybody remember when Billy Crystal was on and Bill said, "When Harry Met Salary"? He said it again when introducing Rob Reiner! LOL.

from the moment he brings up Gravity just skip ahead to New Rules if you want to be safe. He does sort of just sneak it in there.
