3. The question is


If freedom is indeed "on the march" in the Middle East, doesn't Bush deserve a lot of credit?


WTF? Screw that...where's the "screw off, freedom isn't on the march and hell no, he doesn't deserve credit for anything except being a deceptive , nasty turd" option?

7. You can e-mail Bill from the site... we should all write the show
on the community page they have an "ask bill" section.

http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/community/

I suggest we all write letters expressing our concern on his sudden change of tune on Iraq.

6. Agreed. I have a major problem with the wording of that question
"If freedom is indeed "on the march" in the Middle East, doesn't Bush deserve a lot of credit?"

I say that freedom is NOT "on the march" in the ME, unless the word "freedom" has been redefined.

21. If freedom is death, then the wording is correct.

10. you're just playing into his idiocy
ignore his polls. If its heavily voted agaist Bush it'll be evidence that the left just disagrees with Bush to disagree. If not it'll be evidence of Bush being super.

11. Since 1973 and Nixon's plans to seize Gulf Oilfields....Bush nothing new
The seizures mimic the plotline of "Three Days of the Condor" don't they ? Only we're all in on what's going on, yet MSM is stuck in some kind of WWF 'is it real' sort of Operation Mockingbird guessing game.

Hell yes they'd lie cheat and steal to get at 30% of the world's remaining energy, and not do the rational thing which is look for alternative sources of energy...

Heavy sigh.

12. Just Voted On The Poll And
I asked him a question. Seems like the No's have it so far!!

What a DipShit!!! We'll see if his audience drops off real soon. I won't be watching this Friday, but since I have a Dish I can take a quick 'Look-see" when they run it later in the week. I still won't watch the whole show, I just want to see if he addresses this in his opening.

So Long Bill! Don't drink too fast, you MIGHT choke!!

14. Hes a paid hack
What a BS question. You are forced to assume in that question that Freedom IS on the march.

What a piece of crap spin.
I guess he and Dennis Miller are on the payroll now. John Stewart will be next.

16. Freedom is on the march because the USA right wing has said 'uncle'
That is all they had to do. Tell them about the "new rules": we will not put back a strong man if you depose and elite... we will not put back and elite if you depose a strongman".

17. Troops march, freedom doesn't

Plenty of marching, but I don't see much in the way of law, rights, security, and opportunity that might be add up to something called freedom. If Maher and others think that voting = democracy, well, I just don't think they've been paying attention.

Besides that, it's the worst kind of coward who takes credit for another's courage.

22. Another poorly phrased question.
The question demands that a faulty premise must be affirmed to legitimately answer the question. This is a subtle form of propaganda.

"If freedom is indeed "on the march" in the Middle East, doesn't Bush deserve a lot of credit?"

To answer "no" means that the republi-crap policy is working, but bush does not deserve any credit. Furthermore, the correct answer to this double question would be one no, and one yes.

The question should be worded:

1) "Is freedom on the march in Iraq?"

Answer: NO

2) "Is bush responsible for the middle east policy weather it be good or bad"

Answer: Yes


I feel one of the best strategies the Democratic party could follow would be to point out every instance of faulty reasoning, or "have you stopped beating your wife yet" questions.

Republicans are monsters.

23. I agree with you entirely. To start the poll with the premise that
freedom is indeed on the march is totally biased. It doesn't allow for you to vote if you don't believe that it is on the march. I of course voted anyway, a big No.

Someone got to Maher, big time. Either that or I should have been suspicious when I saw him playing "footsies" with Coulter. Anyone with a conscience could not possibly be friends with that person.

24. I just e-mailed that potlicker. Here is the text.
The 3/18/05 survey question on your home page demonstrates insane reasoning. Do you deserve the credit for this?

The question demands that a faulty premise must be affirmed to legitimately answer the question. This is a subtle form of propaganda.

"If freedom is indeed "on the march" in the Middle East, doesn't Bush deserve a lot of credit?"

To answer "no" means that the republi-crap policy is working, but bush does not deserve any credit. Furthermore, the correct answer to this double question would be one no, and one yes.

The question(s) should be worded:

1) "Is freedom on the march in Iraq?"

Answer: NO

2) "Is bush responsible for the Iraqi policy and the deaths of 100 thousand people?

Answer: Yes

Sane Conclusion:
Republicans are monsters.
