This Democracy Now! segment does a good job, I think, of showing how video of two professors speaking can be selectively edited to distort their views.

I want to punch Bill Maher in the face for letting this jackass on his show repeatedly and then treating him with kid gloves.

No argument there, Dude, especially since after he appeared on Maher's show, he then goes on CSPAN about a week and half ago and claims he was "set up" to look like a racist.

If you want to watch the video, go ahead, but I don't want to give Breitbart the time... |

 Your too funny Dude. After watching the Democracy Now video the your reaction cracked me up. Let's hope Breitbart doesn't walk these halls and take that of out context. SS |

I think Maher had to negotiate topics with him to get him on the show. Certain things are never broached, and Maher doesn't criticize him very much at all when he is on the show. It kinda pisses me off. The guy is a lying douchebag who I wouldn't piss on if he was on fire. Maher should have called him out more, even if it was only limited to the specific topics the show was covering that day. Instead, he let the guy talk shit almost unanswered.
