BILL HELPS
Mighty Bill Maher singlehandedly removes a raving Truther from his audience. Well, not exactly:
Maher was talking science during one of his weekly panel discussions when a protester in his audience stood up, held up a smuggled-in sign reading “9/11 is a cover up fraud” and shouted comments to the same effect.
The host tried to shout down the audience member, who only became more agitated.
“Do we have some (expletive) security in this building,” Maher yelled, “or do I have to come down there and kick his (expletive)?”
And that’s when the (expletive) kicking began - once Maher had waited long enough for security to intervene:
When security reached the man’s aisle and the man resisted leaving, Maher ran into the seats and helped them push him out the door, shouting “Out! Out! Out!”
The shouting would have been especially helpful.
Grant you, Maher’s an idiot, but this is nice.

To: Audience Dept
From: Bill
Subject: Installation of trapdoors and shark tank
The failure of the trapdoor under seat 19F last night was unacceptable. We went to great expense to install those trapdoors and the shark tank, and even more expense to fit lasers to the sharks, and now I find that nothing works! I pressed that big red button a number of times and the guy just sat there instead of dropping like a stone into a pool of thrashing man eaters with lasers.
I’ve told you lot time and time again that I do not want to touch my audience. One more trapdoor failure like this, and you are all fired.
I mean fried. By the shark lasers.
Bill

O/T, but this is a healthy corrective to the notion that people in South America are all just willing to roll over for every crackpot Fidel wannabe.
I actually met a 9/11 truther at a barbecue a few weeks ago. I knew they existed, from stories like this, but I never really believed I’d meet a real one…
Posted by closeapproximation on 2007 10 21 at 06:57 PM • permalinkWe had a student awhile back that was a believer in nearly every kind of kook theory. 9/11 was an inside job. We never went to the moon. Black helicopters. Etc… Unsurprisingly, I’ve seen her around campus wearing a Hezbollah T-shirt. She believed anything and everything except that a large number of Muslims are waging war against the Western World.

Maher was no doubt champing at the bit, frustrated by having to hold himself in reserve, before finally losing all control (after security had arrived and secured the protester’s person), and rushing manfully into the audience, making fluttering motions with his hands, and shouting, “Shoo! Shoo!”
