More people in the world would live if Vice President **** Cheney died, political commentator Bill Maher said, raising few eyebrows despite suggesting the death of the U.S. vice president would be a good thing.
During a visit to Afghanistan late last month, a suicide bomber detonated himself outside Bagram Air Base where Cheney was visiting. Several Afghans and a U.S. soldier were killed, but Cheney was unhurt.
During the Friday night broadcast of his HBO show "Real Time With Bill Maher," Maher and his guests, including Democratic Rep. Barney Frank and former Republican Rep. Joe Scarborough, debated the removal of comments from the HuffingtonPost Web log praising the idea of Cheney being assassinated.
Frank earned applause when he quoted bloggers saying the bomb was wasted when it missed Cheney. Maher asked the panelists whether it was wrong for blog host Arianna Huffington to remove the comments.
Quoting the blog, Maher said, "I have zero doubt that if **** Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow."
Asked by Frank if Maher believed that sentiment, the host replied, "I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact."
Last week's comments weren't the first to call into question Maher's freewheeling speech. His ABC show "Politically Incorrect" was cancelled shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks when he said the hijackers were "warriors."

As much as it pains me to say this, I think Bill Maher was 100 percent correct with these comments. **** Cheney is THE most vile, dispicable human being I think I've ever seen in the public eye. And I don't believe he really gives a damn about the thousands of lives being lost in Iraq; just as long as his precious Haliburton continues to profit off of this war.
Not only that, I'm quite certain that it was he who authorized the leak that outed Valerie Plame just to get even with Ambassador Joe Wilson. To be honest, I think I dislike Cheney twice as much as I do Bush. And I can't stand Bush.
