Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, the old saying goes. It's certainly applicable to liberal talk show host Bill Maher, who got a taste of venom from the far-left 9/11 conspiracy crowd during a recent taping of his "Real Time" program before a live studio audience.
Video (2:55): Real (2.14 MB) and Windows (1.79 MB), plus MP3 audio (1.33 MB).
MRC president and NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell reacted to the development in a segment on the October 22 "Fox & Friends" program. Said Bozell:
These people are crazy, and Bill Maher maybe got a taste of his own medicine.
Asked by co-host Steve Doocy if he thought Maher might have set up the heckling as a stunt to garner ratings, Bozell replied in the negative:
You know, I don't think so. This isn't a Morton Downey Jr., moment.... No, I don't think this was the case. I don't think that Bill Maher is macho enough to organize something like this.
