Pesky truthers disrupt Maher's Real Time VIDEO

Associated Press reports that a gaggle of 9/11 truthers interrupted Bill Maher‘s Real Time.

Maher was talking science during one of his weekly panel discussions when a protester in his audience stood up, held up a smuggled-in sign reading “9/11 is a cover up fraud” and shouted comments to the same effect.

Maher helped security guards hustle him out the door and that “several other protesters, sprinkled throughout the audience, then stood up and shouted.” The incident was shown live and then re-shown again in the western U.S.

Apparently Maher incurred the wrath of the conspiracy theorists last year by dismissing their paranoid ramblings in a 1:17 segment of his show that featured Cornell West, Richard Clarke and John Legend. One commenter said that Maher had shown himself to be “another tool in the propaganda machine.”
