Leave it to HBO's Bill Maher to use the massacre in Aurora, Colorado, to attack the belief in American exceptionalism.
On Friday, the vulgar comedian took to his Twitter account to claim that James Holmes' actions should be a "reminder that so many of the things that make us exceptional these days are bad":
Rt wingers luv to tout American Exceptionalism - today is a reminder that so many of the things that make us exceptional these days are bad — Bill Maher (@billmaher) July 20, 2012
One has to wonder how stoned Maher was when he wrote this nonsense.
So many of the things that make us exceptional these days are bad?
How can something exceptional be bad?
Most people define "exceptional" as excellent or superior. Can that be bad?
More importantly, a clearly disturbed young man massacred innocents for no reason, and Maher sees this as an opportunity to bash conservatives and the concept of American exceptionalism.
What should make people sadder than the comment itself is that there are so many folks around this great nation who agree with him, and that maybe such anti-American sentiments are part of the problem.
I don’t pay any attention ot Maher. He’s wackier than little Jimmy “The Joker” Holmes.
1. Being an exception; uncommon.
2. Well above average; extraordinary: an exceptional memory.
3. Deviating widely from a norm, as of physical or mental ability
Two of three definitions, including the primary, just mean unusual or uncommon.
We should make FR a Maher free zone. Do we really care what this idiot says and if his siccophant fans believe the crap he says or not?
Bill Maher IS an exceptional American.
An exceptionally stupid American.
Bill Maher is a sort of Vaseline for Marxists.
This ever classy, waste of otherwise valuable protoplasm and pathetic excuse for a life form is seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up! Bill Maher: Giving SCHMUCKS and MORONS a bad name for 20 years!!
Well, since liberal idiots such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore influence millions of Americans, it’s good to know what they are saying.
So yes, we do care what this idiot says, because we want to talk sense to liberals when we hear them spouting this nonsense.
No one has hanged Bill Maher yet and that is exceptional, and it’s bad.
Hey Bill...
On your way out...Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!!
This human life ravishing incident is evidence of the progress of Bill Mahr’s and Barack Obama’s new and improved hate in America.
The Left’s ideology and it’s minions is the most effective mass murderer ever known to mankind. They have murdered and impoverished millions upon millions of people.
STFU with the leftist propaganda, Billy boy.
Keith Obermann did something similar. He always made sure he attacked a republican with an audience that he knew would report on what he had said.
The shooter was another ordinary leftist, just like Maher.

I agree. If morons like Maher don’t say things that are stupid and “controversial”, they fall off the radar, lose their jobs and have to go back to the “fries guys” jobs they had before they were “discovered”. Attacking Americans is what Maher has to do to survive and keep a big paycheck coming in. It’s what the communists pay him big bucks to do.
and evidently has no mirrors in his house either.
Bill Maher is a twerp.
Unlike the Moslem paradises and the Communist utopias, Billy Maher is free to leave the US whenever he wants.
All of us will benefit when he leaves, including him.
If I woke up one day and heard that Bill Maher went on a shooting rampage I wouldn’t be surprised at all, that guy is seriously off his nut..Hey Bill, if you hate this country so much LEAVE..please..just LEAVE
