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.

I would call him a fruit cake but that would mean insulting my mother's cooking.

He committed suicide years before his book was published. Kinda hard to follow up success like that.

I'm watching him tell Larry King that President Bush should have taken more interest in "foreign affairs" before he was elected President. That is suppose to be funny, I guess. But, I think he forgot that his father was the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA so I think that he knew plenty about foreign affairs. He knew a hell of a lot more than his hero Bill Clinton, Bill Mahers and Larry King all put together. He thinks he is so smart when in truth he is just showing how stupid he is. He makes me sick.

Smoking crack at the Playboy Mansion seems to have gone to Bill Maher's head, literally.

Charles Portis -an author you have now introduced me to. How indeed does this Free Republic site broaden the mind-I will explore . To the library says I. .

I ask rhetorically - who are the REAL bigots. Oh, silly question, Maher is one. LOL

I think it's great. I hope he says it everywhere he goes and I hope he goes everywhere. If Kerry ever thought he had a chance in the South...Bill Maher should kill it...dead...with a stake thru its heart and a pasta machine by its side.

More guns and more Jesus works better than more Marx and more Freud.

He is now making fun of "born again Christians" who think "Jesus is coming back again". He says it's called "rapture" and then says ooooooohhhh. It's scary stuff.

Yes, he is right. I don't want to be him when it happens either.

The chicks he sleeps with wouldn't know if he did or not. They are not particularly a bright bunch. They only know that his bank account his larger than theirs.

I had to turn it off after 30 minutes of listening to him

What a condescending arrogant POS

He acts like he is some world scholar .. He's a BLEEPING Comedian ... and Not a very good one at that

Oh and I like how he thinks Israel did the right thing defending themselves and becoming stronger .. BUT we aren't allow to do the same

OH ... and what is with all the blue index cards in front of him???
