That's exactly what it would take for Maher's FACT to be proven. Hence, the outrage over his statement and why -- in spite of the ignorance being demonstrated by the left -- it was tantamount to advocating assassination.
You have yet to show the connection between Maher's "statement of fact" and "inciting assassination". It's been 3 days...where's the "knock on the door from the Secret Service" or a preliminary investigation from the FBI? You are not a lawyer; you don't know what the you are talking about.
Actually, the original criticism was that Maher was disappointed that Cheney wasn't killed in the attack at Bagram. He not only defended the rights of Huffington's commenters to say what they did but, augmented the statements by asserting something as fact they he could not know.
And, again, being en led to my opinion -- not stating this a definitive legal finding -- I believe that his stating as "fact" that fewer people would be dead if the Vice President were killed is tantamount to advocating assassination.
That's my opinion and I don't have any control over what the FBI or Secret Service think or do.
Thank God for that.
If you wish.
There's a lot of things for which I thank God.
Then in your estimation, it is okay to wish the VP dead.
But wrong for AC to call someone a gay person, which is
suppose to be an okay thing. Dead = Gay. Okay, know
how your thinking process works.

Ok ray I guess Mahr offended dead people and Coulter offended everybody..well everybody but you and Yoni..
Cheney taken to hospital with blood clot.
Maybe the big guy is listening.
But I thought under your terms, being gay was a good
thing. But guess as usual you have different standards for
different things and being gay is bad. Right?
Under the dimm-o-crap terms being called gay is not a
bad thing. Nor wishing the VP dead via assassination is
bad. You tell me GGA. Mahr didn't offend dead people he
offended the United States by even thinking about killing
the VP. But with you way of thinking that is okay.
You hateful peice of trash...
No, you assume to know my thought process. I'm fine with Ann Coulter tossing out 5th grader insults. I support free speech for everyone.Then in your estimation, it is okay to wish the VP dead.

I find myself strangely attracted to blood clots.
What I didn't say
Bill Maher
On Saturday, the website NewsBusters.org. posted a story under the headline "Bill Maher Sorry the Assassination Attempt on Cheney Failed."
There's just one problem: As a fair reading of the show's transcript makes clear, I never said those words. Still, over the weekend, dozens of websites, mostly right wing, picked up the story (with headline intact) thus proliferating the myth that comic Maher somehow advocates the whacking of our Veep.
Don't get me wrong: I've never joined the Cheney Fan Club. But what I said Friday -- and what I believe -- is that the Vice President has presided over a bungled execution of a war in which thousands of our bravest continue to die. And I believe that were he not in power, our troops would likely come home sooner. But I don't wish him dead.
Ironically, I made my comments during a discussion about Free Speech, which is one of the chief reasons that I love my country.

"our troops would likely come home sooner"
even better, with head dead in 2000, or unelected, US troops wouldn't be in Iraq.
Again with the unknowables.
How come coulter didn't attack cheney for being a got producer?
^^^
"Again with the unknowables."
Not at all. We know that the ideological decision to invade Iraq was made BY THE REPUGS + AEI + PNAC + neo- s before 2000. Along with tax cuts for the super-rich and corps, Iraq and it oil can be seen as a key plank in the Repug hidden platform. head orchestrated the cherry-picking and got his good buddy rummy to run DoD.
Has any heard of any such decision to invade Iraq on the Dem side?
Dems elected = NO Iraq war.
And perhaps no 9/11, either, as I doubt the Dems, esp under Gore Exec actually respecting and wanting to govern seriously, would have ignored totally all the red lights in the summer of 2001.
She a shock- and she's pimpin' her and I ain't buying it.
Let's set the table ...
How many family members do you have serving in Iraq?
BTW, now that I started keeping score, that is the absolute worst ever use of the word "tantamount" I've seen used. It's akin to me saying that Cheney has "assassinated" 3000 American soldiers.
Is that a knowable unknowable or an unknowable unknowable?
Who actually takes Coulter seriously?
I think she is a mockery of the GOP. She's a mockery of a human being. The morons that take her seriously are blind loyal party-line voters anyways. She's redundant to the whole system and just gives the left a lot of fodder to slam the right with.
And yet there are people on here defending her....
