NEW YORK POST:

BILL MAHER Ejects lunatic from show

MAHER MUZZLES MORON

October 21, 2007 -- LOS ANGELES - Bill Maher can add "security guard" to his job description, alongside "comedian" and "political commentator," after helping remove a rowdy protester from his weekly HBO show.

Maher was talking science during Friday's "Real Time with Bill Maher" panel discussion when a man in the audience stood, held up a smuggled-in sign that read, "9/11 is a cover-up fraud," and shouted.

When Maher tried to shout him down, the man became agitated - prompting the feisty host to yell, "Do we have some f- - -ing security in this building, or do I have to come down there and kick his ass?"

When security reached the man's aisle but he resisted leaving, Maher ran into the seats and helped push the protester through the doors, all the while shouting "Out! Out! Out!"

Then, as several other protesters, sprinkled throughout the audience, also stood and began shouting, Maher responded by yelling into his microphone, "This isn't the Iowa caucus, OK? We're not here to debate!"

Most of the audience cheered him on as he added, "This is the problem with live television!"

I don't agree with Bill Maher about much. In fact, his "Bush Derangement Syndrome" is so bad I'd probably double-check if he said the sky was blue.

However, on his HBO show Maher did something worth applause, and I'm going on record now to say he's right and hope it proves to at least a few liberals out there that I don't reject each and every thing a liberal might say.

Maher has in the past publicly rejected the lunatic notions of the 9/11 truthers, a ragtag army of conspiratorialists who won't take Usama bin Laden at his word and insist that George W. Bush was in fact the terrorist behind the 9/11 attacks. Maher is right when he tells 9/11 truthers that they have gone too far, and they are out of their minds.

That has earned him the enmity of 9/11 truthers, and they struck back by sneaking into his live HBO show a few days ago. They began heckling Maher with their lunacy about who is really responsible for 9/11, as if it weren't already well known and well established.

Maher then did this: (Click here to watch the clip.)

Good for Bill. I don't like it when he takes cheap shots at the war and the president. I am made terribly uncomfortable with his anti-religion slanders. But this time he was right, and he deserves credit for doing the right thing when faced with idiocy on such an important topic as the attacks against us by bin Laden and his vicious followers.

I bet next week I'll be angry or annoyed at something Maher says. But this week, it's hat's off to Bill for a job well done.

That's My Word.

Don't watch John Gibson weekdays at 5 p.m. ET on "The Big Story with John Gibson and Heather Nauert" and send your hate mail to: myword@foxnews.com.

Bill Maher Throws 9/11 Truthers Off ‘Real Time’ Set

By Noel Sheppard

HBO's Bill Maher is in trouble with the extreme left-wing of this nation - which, coincidently, represents the vast majority of his fan-base! - for refusing to believe the Bush administration had anything to do with taking down the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

In fact, last month on "Real Time," he dedicated an entire "New Rule" to this matter stating, "Crazy people who still think the government brought down the Twin Towers in a controlled explosion have to stop pretending that I'm the one that's being naïve."

On Friday's "Real Time," the Truthers struck back by infiltrating his audience, and interrupting the show for several minutes. The fracas resulted in Maher actually going into the crowd several times to assist security in removing the offending parties, and finally saying (video available here courtesy our dear friend Ms Underestimated, viewers are forewarned about the presence of vulgarity):

You know what that's all about? Of all the things I've said, and, believe me, I've said a lot of things as you all know that could get my head on a block. The one that they protest about out here is the people who think that the World Trade Center was a controlled explosion. You see, in that instance, I'm actually defending President Bush. I don't think President Bush brought down the World Trade Center. (Sounds of booing from the audience.) And cows disagree with me!

Well, the reality is, Bill, that though your view of this matter is for a change correct, by consistently taking extremely hostile positions towards President Bush, you have catered to the very folks who believe this absurd conspiracy theory, and have deservedly brought this wrath upon yourself.

There's an old saying that if you lay down with pigs, you will wake up smelling like slop; you, sir, have reaped what you've sown.
