If we want to keep silly little things like sovereignty.

Eating Their Own. Hagel is a republican but he's been in war, like presidents such as Ike and JFK, so war is not like playing with plastic army men like it is with chickenhawks like Dubya and Cheney.

The young wingnut guy on this week's panel was so obnoxious, he has it all figured out at age 20 something only it's all wrong. What a loser.

Can these people say anything new, or old that makes sense? But, God bless his little soul, he tried. He was up against people who had shoes older than him. What he thought he had learned . . . They remembered

This is what Maher actually said:

So no, Bill Maher did not argue "...such outrage only proves that the Israeli government does have undue influence on the United States". That is nothing more than bullshit propaganda from a hack writer.

If anyone was really interested in why Hagel is being filibustered, then they would know it isn't because of Israel (red herring), it isn't because he is an Obama pick (though that may be true with a few tea-party members), it is because the real power here, the real force, is not AIPAC, but rather the Oil Industry and, the #1 reason, the power of the MIC. A smaller issue, though hardly the major reason (see the previous two (Oil and MIC)), is if a Republican, Hagel, gets in and starts making cuts to defense, the Republicans are afraid his actions will reflect on the party, which has always, ALWAYS, waved the flag, screaming, "WE ARE STRONG ON DEFENSE!" And, IMO, another lesser reason, because Hagel was mean to "W". This party, after all, is quite petty (Iraq War anyone?!), and have no issue hunting down one of their own who has strayed from the flock.
