WHAT BILL MAHER SAID ABOUT CHENEY

The wingnuts claim that Ann Coulter is no worse than Bill Maher because Maher wished for Cheney's death. As usual, the wingnuts are wrong about what was said. Here's the quote:

MAHER: [overlapping] But I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow. [applause]

[SNIP]

FRANK: You don’t? Oh, you don’t believe that?

MAHER: No, I’m just saying that if he did die—

SCARBOROUGH: [laughter] Okay, but if – oh, let’s just say—

MAHER: [overlapping]—other people – more people would live. That’s a fact.
