Bill Maher: Obama Had to Lie to ‘Stupider’ Americans

The great thing about liberals is that the most feral crack-addict ghetto um.....”resident”....has exactly the same opinion as the most highly educated holier-than-thou collegian. Cool, isn’t it? And they use just about the same arguments, though the college educated ones often have better diction and sentence construction skills and the like. Note that I didn’t say logic, nor reference to ‘speerience. Those things elude them.

So are the ghetto inhabitants really, really smart...or are the college educated ones really really stupid?

Enquiring minds don’t really give a s**t.

Bill Maher of FOX News: “Facts never get in the way of their talking points”

“When we didn’t use to have these kind of places where you could retreat to your ghettoization of thinking, public discourse was the better for it because you had to hear a conflicting idea. Now you don’t,” he said, before referencing the network on which he was appearing in his criticism. “CNN suffers for that to a degree because it tries to play it down the middle, and people generally want to hear what they already believe in.”

A well-known Democrat who supports the legalization of marijuana and same-sex marriage, Maher’s real issue is with the hyper-conservative FOX News network, which he suggested isn’t based in truth:

“Facts never get in the way of their talking points. And so for people who only listen to FOX News, they can wake up with Matt Drudge and have lunch with Rush Limbaugh and go to bed with Bill O’Reilly,” he explained, listing a trio of powerful Republican voices. “That’s all they’re going to know, is what they hear there. And very often these people do not care what the truth is.”

“Obamacare” is not the end to which they are striving.

[longfellow]

two of them together and I am fresh out of grenades.

There was "unified Republican opposition"?

Yes. In passing Obamacare, there was only one Republican vote for it in the House (a one-term rep from Louisiana) and zero Republican votes for it in the Senate. That's pretty unified, IMHO.

On August 24, 2009, Maher was a guest on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. On the topic of getting health care reform legislation passed, Maher stated that Obama should forget about trying to get 60 votes for it, "he only needs 51." "Forget getting the sixty votes or sixty percent — sixty percent of people don't believe in evolution in this country — he just needs to drag them to it, like I said, they're stupid; get health care done, with or without them."

Maher has expressed the view that most illness is generally the result of poor diet and lack of exercise, and that medicine is often not the best way of addressing illness. In an episode of his show about the 2008 presidential candidates' health plans, Maher stated that poor nutrition is a primary cause of illness, and that "the answer isn't another pill." He also has said:" If you believe you need to take all the pills the pharmaceutical industry says you do, then you're already on drugs!"

Maher and Ingrid Newkirk, founder of PETA. Maher is on the board of directors of the animal rights group.

Speaking of crazy people...

"she feels the same way about humans -- their eradication would be an improvement to the universe: "Humans have grown like a cancer. We're the biggest blight on the face of the earth." "She is no less consistent when she discusses Ingrid Newkirk -- her horror of humanity extends to herself: "I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don't have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn't be harming anything."

If you had been around to ask Trotsky (neither was I), he would have talked of many “ends” essential to the ultimate goal of a communist world government. The Russian revolution was a stepping stone on that path. Obamacare is an essential waypoint for the USA and it will lead to one payer healthcare.

Obama is a “professional revolutionary” like Lenin, who coined the term, and Trotsky. IMO, Obamacare must be implemented and must fail. Single payer is next and it will eliminate a huge swath of private enterprise.

So, yeah, Obama lied, but the “stupider” Americans deserve to be lied to.

Ends justify the means

also for libtards:

1) paternalism premise (its for your own good)
2) tribal premise (its for the public good)
3) utilitarian premise (greatest happiness for the greatest number of people)

Combine them to make a rationale to justify might makes right for libtards.

The only reason he has a show is because there are some Americans who are dumb enough to watch it. Could you imagine what these two douchebags would be saying if G W Bush told blatant lies like this?

[VerySadAmerican]

The “stupider” voters are the democrats’ base. Nice of Maher to point it out. But those “stupider” voters are too stupid to know he was talking about them.

[VerySadAmerican]

I don’t have many regrets in life. But one major one is I regret not spitting in Maher’s face when I had the chance.

[LibLieSlayer]

One day someone is going to teach this pos a lesson that will cost his ass dearly.

[GeronL]

real translation:

Leftists always have to lie, or their agenda won’t pass

[Liberty Wins]

Bill Maher: Let’s see, I’m in this lifeboat with a bunch of stupid people who are jabbing it full of holes. However, I am the smartest person in the boat so I get to sit in the best seat, right?

Americans are getting stupider, Bill? That explains why you are still on television.

[a fool in paradise]

Boycott Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN products until his ass is fired. Not over this comment but just on principle.

He claims that he has no sponsors. Except when he appears on Time-Warner-HBO and appears on CNN as a guest with commercial advertisers.

Defund the Left. Boycott Hollywood.
