Bill Maher --- In general, it is the dumbest part of the county [The South]
CNN/Larry King Live | 07/22/04 | Bill Maher

Posted on 07/22/2004 7:11:49 PM PDT by conservative in nyc

When asked by a caller how we could get Southern voters to vote for a democrat again, "Comic" Bill Maher just went on the following tirade against the South, Christians and Second Amendment patriots:

You know, that's a sore point with me in the South, the way they have a stranglehold on the electorate because... excuse me... and I love playing the red states, because when I play the red states in my stand-up act, you know, I get all the people who don't usually have someone like me come to their state, so there's a great bonding. And I feel for them, because there's a lot of smart people in the South. But in general, it is the dumbest part of the country.

Excuse me. It is. And also, they're the super patriots - the one part of the country that ever actually seceeded. The one part of the country that ever actually committed treason. And they seem to lead in how we are supposed to think. Because they are more religious. They are more "patriotic". And... umm.. I think it's just a a disservice to our...

Larry King: You think in modern day America, you can still claim a whole region is dumber than another reigon?

Maher: They lead the region in dumbness, yes they do. Because they, there's too many people that just think every problem can be solved by either more guns or more Jesus. And like I said, I'm with the people who are following their compass; not with the people who are reading the entrails of the chicken. They are the people who are reading the entrails of the chicken.

The south is dumb according to Mahr.

Why is that the Northeast is losing population to the south?

Darn, I must be stupid because I am a patriot. I believe that America, with its faults (liberal dims) is still the best country in the whole world.

Every southerner? No --- Bill Maher worshipped Bill Clinton --- the southern white trash man --- so much that he played a certain anatomical part of him. I bet he was willing to lick Jimmy Carter's boots --- only certain Southerners appeal to the Hollywood celebrities though, only pro-big-government liberals.

Bill Clinton appeals to Hollywood in the same manner that Michael Moore appeals to the French.

We did fight a Civil War

Now, dahlin, that would be the "War Between the States." Every born and bred Southerner knows that! Seriously, just got back from a trip to the great Northwest. Was I ever made to feel like the freak show! Folks would comment about my accent, and I told them I talked like I do just to keep the stereotype alive.

Yes but Southerners do that also to Northerners --- and how many times do Northerners have to hear that "there's only two kinds of Yankees....." joke? At least many Northerners will say they find a Southern accent "charming" but how many Southerners would say the same about a Yankee accent?

Determined to keep out of this one (Post). Your choice of fine intellectual Southerners ended that. Flannery O'Conner, woman writer from Milledgeville Ga. Her short stories and one in particular- The Misfit...... I will not go on- off topic really.

Liberal Spouse has on the midnight repeat of Bill Maher and Larry. Larry quoth once- I am a Liberal Democrat and we want them(Republicans) out. The sneering, snide Maher- oh well- the brief, quick, nasty smell in society.

Flannery, who died young, is immortal. A real contributor to decency and America.

Southerners are too mannerly to comment on a Yankee's accent. We just say "well, bless your heart, I can't understand a word you are saying". LOL

"In general, it is the dumbest part of the country [The South]"

Well, I have to partially agree with Mr. Mahr-----there are is no shortage of dumb Democrats in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade, if you know what I mean!

If you're a fiction fan, check out Arkansan Charles Portis -- one of the funniest men writing in the English language. His most famous work is TRUE GRIT, but my personal fave is MASTERS OF ATLANTIS -- the most hilariously accurate novel ever written about cults and fringe movements. Portis understands the South and America in a way no other living author does.
