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.
And he'd deserve every ounce of it!
Is that so? Will the Democrats have any of these Democrats speaking at their convention;
-Sheila Jackson Lee
-Jim McDermott
-Robert Byrd
-Cynthia McKinney
-Howard Dean
-Henry Waxman
-Maxine Waters
-Barney Frank
The sad part is not that Maher made that statement, it's that he is allowed to get away with it!
Not the entrails of chicken... chitterlings aren't chicken guts LOL
ROFLOL!
I believe this Zero-Talent just insulted a high percentage of our U.S. Military.
free dixie,sw
:O)
Bill is a total idiot. My Mother used to call such people ignorant.He no doubt thinks all southerners are barefoot, stupid, racist, sister marrying, religious fanatics....however our real crime is we don't like the Democrats anymore. I have heard stupid jokes and remarks from idiot liberal yankees for years. You remember what Begala wrote during the (I think) recount? My Mother was in a Bridgeport Connecticut hospital (St. Vincents)-last year. During my visit, I struck up a casual conversation with a local man. I hate hospitals; they make me nervous so I spend a lot of time outside the front door. I struck up a conversation with a local man. When he heard I was from Georgia, he asked if (I kid you not) I had indoor plumbing. I told him we was saving money for an indoor privy (sarcasm).He wanted to hear all about the south and demanded to know why we had not got over the cvil war. (his words). Of course-all intelligent people know it as the war between the states or the war of Northern agression (this is what my grandma called it). He then asked me out for coffee. He explained ernestly how great Starbucks was since being from the ignorant south, I couldn't possibly know about Starbucks (we have two within three miles of where I live). I couldn't wait to get rid of this jerk-so I told him I was engaged to my cousin...naturally being a fool..he believed it. I wasted my best sarcasm on this guy.
I thought he said Moore is going to be on Bill's HBO show?
I think that "reading the entrails of the chicken" is suppose to be a "high-brow" insult at our religion.
LOL! No, they most certainly aren't.
But, I'm still lost.
Do we read chitterlings? ;o)
The only thing I can equate with this
is snake handling, and I really don't
want to go there.
ROFLOL!
I guess the guy doesn't get out much. lol!
Maybe I got it confused since I was mostly ignorning what he said until it got interesting.
LOL! Bill must have a wee-wee...
"I think that "reading the entrails of the chicken" is suppose to be a "high-brow" insult at our religion."
Do tell...
Well, bless his heart...
And, I mean that in the most Southern way possible. ;o)
Remember the South is only fashionable when the libs want it to be like luxury trailers and gated elitist trailer parks. Leave it to liberals to have snob trailer parks.
LOL!!!!!!!
I know...it must be the Beverly Hillbillies Syndrome.
Either that, or they are arrogant, elitist pukes.
