Bill and a lot of hi-profile people like himself are starting to realize what a federal government filled with teabagging cultural warriors could mean to this country. And they would be going after people like Bill first.

I don't care how or why people come to their senses, so long as they do!

OLD it's not just up to the rich to help we have to stand up also,i agree with you i would like to see the Warren Buffets of the democratic party put more into it.I would also like to see more from everyday people,even if it was only 5 or 10 dollars,just think if the 99% each sent 10 bucks.

Bill understands this and he's putting his checkbook where his mouth is. That doesn't preclude the rest of us contributing what we can do to join the fight. Everyone needs to put their money into the pot. Hopefully, 100MM Americans could add their voice via financial contributions. If we could raise an average of $100 from 100mm people, there'd be no question where the voice and $ is with the American people. It would make the individual donations of the Republican sugar-daddies puny, by comparison.

Not a big fan, but I do like his show on HBO. His stand-up, in my opinion, is not that special.

I think it is due to the fact that he's very topical but not very insightful. There is nothing special about it.

He's good for TV but not a live audience. He doesn't have the magic necessary to work a crowd and develop a rapport with them.

I am now, just for the fact that he has donated a million dollars shows he has
woken up just as others like him will be waking up.

I can foresee more celebs like Bill coming forward and donating more money, just
watch.

his show is actually really good. i mean, it's just his stand-up, but it's all at once serious and funny.

and it was still good even though the sound was not good (at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall). yes, it is ironic that two shows there, had sound problems and even Maher joked about having sound problems at the Symphony hall.

i'll try to see him in San Jose next time.

but every million helps

than Adelsons.

The GOP super PACs are being funded by basically 5 people.

afford a lot of speech!

sometimes crude sex references. I am far from a prude, but it just
seems too gratuitous sometimes and you can tell it really embarrasses
his guests (i.e. Rev Al last week).

He sometimes comes off like a misogynist, IMO.

Good congrats! Hope this can help GOTV. Time for the Dems to take back America at every level of government.

If I had it I would give it to the Obama Super PAC just to show the GOP how bad and how out of control Super PAC money can get.

Another thing I would do is give my absurdly over the top amounts of money to Democratic Super PACs anonymously. If enough rich Democrats would do that watch how soon the Republican party starts crying for campaign finance reform. But it has to be completely stupid lopsided amounts of money going to Democratic causes to drive the point home. It has to become so out of hand that the GOP will finally say enough is enough.

She is an anchor to any panel show on which she appears. She is just unwatchable and shrill - oh, and an idiot.

be a member of the top 1% and give a million dollars and be taken seriously. All Bill and Obama have done is become a part of the corrupt system.

And so sorry but Bill's money influence is just as bad as any other special interests. His act still makes ordinary folks count less.

That is what gets me about his show.... a bunch of multimillionaires pretending that they get what real life is like for working Americans.

But living within the rules established by the SCOTUS is, unfortunately, necessary in order to fight the opposition. I don't like it but I don't like the other side having the edge.

get what 'real life is like for working Americans'.

This stupid ruling opened the floodgates of corruption. We have no choice except to play the game using the new rules. That doesn't mean we shouldn't work to change the rules.

try to beat the hell out of us. There is lie after lie after lie coming from that side.

We have to push back.

And at the same time we can point out how Citizens United created this mess.

He's not hiding his donation.

You don't bring a stick to a sword fight! Enough said.

Citizen's United. We don't want Citizen's United SuperPacs to be seen as a winning strategy for Republicans and the landed gentry.

so that HE, not Santorum or Romney, is the one appointing the next Supreme Court Justice, or even two -- the ones who will vote to overturn Citizens vs. United.

Tying Obama's financial hands behind his back isn't going to achieve any long term progressive goals.

to refrain from using them.

The dems need to win to get rid of such crap as Citizens United.

The next president will appoint as many as 3 USSC justices, so the next president absolutely must be Obama, not one of the Republicans. People who think it doesn't matter which party the president comes from keep forgetting that only one party appoints the likes of Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Roberts.

as he likes to say.

And see if I can match him!

Mr. Maher being an atheist and all, has I guess figured out that God did not like him putting on some of the right wing nuts that he has put on lately. The President and the Democratic party as well can use the money. I figure they will need more down the line as well, so keep the purse strings open.

I don't even care that you still figure that you are a Libertarian.

Try making your point again, this made zero sense.

Leveling the playing field. Who are the progressive billionaires? George Soros, Oprah, Warren Buffett, etc.

His show is suppose to be a political debate show. Why would I want to see three people agreeing with each other every episode? If anything it makes it even more clear how nutty some of the right can be.

I just take pleasure in seeing them humiliated.

Good for Bill. And us.

for putting your money to good use

that all political comedians make their living at the expense of pols.

He can still complain all he wants.

Hypocrisy: 1. the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one's real character or actual behaviour, esp the pretence of virtue and piety

Was lucky enough to see him live ....and he is wonderful. I have been a fan since...yes Murder She Wrote. I love him. He is one of the sharpest smartest men out there, he tells it like it is and makes it easy for anyone who wants to listen to understand the Truth...something lacking on the right....they seem to relish lies...I love that he gave this to Obama..now we know he is an Independent for Obama....love you Bill.

If you get the chance to see him live it is great!

It is about time rich liberals start to fight fire with fire.

not a huge supporter...
