Since his first appearance in 2005, Affleck has been a guest on Real Time seven times, frequently butting heads with conservative blowhards like Ann Coulter and P.J. ORourke. He also pretty reliably blows a gasket just like he did last week.

That kind of indignation is what Maher's show lives on, and Ben Affleck delivers it very, very well. Here, a quick rundown of the actor's best Real Time rants.

2005 Appearing with Salman Rushdie and Andrew Sullivan, Affleck gets into it with Maher after the host suggests people of religious faith are unintelligent. People of faith arent stupid by dint of their being of faith,"says an exasperated Affleck. "I disagree. I think that's stupid." Later, still stuck tussling over the same subject, Affleck exclaims, You cant just frame it in such a reductive way!

2007 Democrats who supported further expenditures on the war in Iraq? To Ben Affleck, they shall forevermore be known as These fuckin people!

2008 Perhaps a late-night talk show hosted by Bill Maher is not the place to look for nuanced discussion, but once the conversation turned to the vague political discourse around the term Arabs, Affleck let fly. Arab and good person, he railed, are not antithetical to one another!

2012 This was a doozy. Ann Coulter launches into a tirade about post-9/11 security measures and how we all have fingers stuck up our butts to go through airport security. Then Affleck goes off. They grab your dick a little bit," he says. "Its not the end of the world!

A Brief History of Ben Affleck Yelling on Bill Maher

Just a few weeks after openly hoping to have a civil dialogue with Real Time host Bill Maher, Glenn Beck no longer seems to want that meeting to take place.

On his Facebook page Sunday, Beck responded to an interview Maher gave to Tuscon Weekly. In the interview, Maher rejected the idea that his views on Islam are comparable to Becks.

Glenn Beck is more on the Ann Coulter page that what we should do is conquer the Middle East and convert them to Christianity, Maher said. Thats not what Im saying. Im saying all religions are stupid. Islam just happens to be the one right now, in this century, thats most dangerous and violent. Maher said, though, that hes willing to appear on Becks program if Beck will in turn appear on Mahers.

Beck pushed back on his Facebook, saying he doesnt want to convert Muslims. There is no winning in this game, Beck wrote. We can move the world forward, but never in name calling and belittling others. It was played in the beginning and will be played until the end.

More from Becks note:

This is why I wont accept an invite on his show. I want an actual discussion. One based in respect. One that I think can actually help reknit the fabric of our country and world,

I think Bill wants to discuss things but he also wants to win and he really wants a good show.

I dont blame him. I used to live somewhat in that world. Then I woke up.

Previously, Beck had said of Maher that, Maybe we should start talking to each other.

Or maybe not.

Its been more than a year since we last checked in with you, our loyal subscribers, to see how youre enjoying or not enjoying our newspaper. So, lets do that, OK? OK.

As a refresher, our renewal notices include two sections: I like The Glendale Star/Peoria Times because: and If I could change The Star/Times I would: Lets first examine what you all have enjoyed. I am changing all of your names to something ridiculous so nobody sues me for defamation and because it is fun.

Lets start with Mertha Klonk, who likes the Times because: I enjoy hearing our local news. Its also good to hear of the problem areas in our town. Please continue the newsletter. Thank you, Mertha. And great timing, too, as we were just about to cancel our newsletter before we got your note. In fact, weve decided to go in the other direction and start a newspaper. Wish us luck!

Mertha adds in the payment section, Mike said he would OK a 2-yr senior citizen for $30. Ha, ha Mike says a lot of things. You owe us $5. Just kidding, Mertha Klonk!

Its become quite apparent that many of you like our newspaper mostly because we are not another newspaper. Take Rory Harkenbush (please! Just kidding, Rory): Offers local news not always printed in NW section of Republic. I do not know of which publication you speak, but OK.

Gil McGritts? It is NOT like the Arizona Republic! (a bleeding heart liberal newspaper) Thank you? Also, if your newspaper is bleeding, it should probably see a doctor.

Speaking of politics, Bob Sacamano, though he likes the The Star, would make a small change: Include conservative opinion columns from Ann Coulter and/or Thomas Sowell/ Rush Limbaugh? To effect a little balance to the fairyland liberal brainwash of the rest of the media. Id like to say we are above such brainwashing tactics, but the first letter of every paragraph in this very issue reads OBAMA THIRD TERM on a loop. Our bad. And I will take your advice re: Ann Coulter. We could use another humor column.

Now, what else could we improve? Loretta Strickland has an idea: I would have a special section for the present generation as to what is good and what is not. Hmmm I like it. Kids these days have no clue, and a special section outlining basic moral principles is what should get them on the right track. For example, Good: hugs; Not good: pushing people down stairs. Eventually our newspaper will replace school, saving tax dollars in the process. Thanks, Loretta!

How about you, Dr. Fred Finkel? CANCIL Come again? (checks bottom portion of renewal notice) CANCIL Hmmm. I believe this is French for, Youre doing great; my renewal is in a separate envelope. Thanks, Dr. Fredwe will keep up the great work.

Now, besides adding to our awesomeness, is there anything you all truly dont like about our paper? Something you wish would go away? I doubt it, but lets see what Claire Understudy thinks. Remove the self-indulgent column by Mike Kenny and replace it with interviews with interesting Glendale residents.
