Patrick,
The solution is just to generate separate plots for each region.
f[x_] := 1/(1 - x);
pole = x /. Solve[1/f[x] == 0, x][[1]];
plt1 = Plot[f[x], {x, 0, pole}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
plt2 = Plot[f[x], {x, pole, 2}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[{plt1, plt2}, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];
g[x_] := 1/((.75 - x)(1 - x)(1.25 - x));
pole = x /. Solve[1/g[x] == 0, x];
rng = Prepend[ #, x] & /@ Partition[Append[Prepend[pole, 0], 2], 2, 1];
Show[Plot[g[x], #, DisplayFunction -> Identity, PlotRange -> {-750, 750}] &
/@
rng, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];
