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.
Southron bashing ping
Oh-Oh.
I have always hated Bill Maher.
A real nobody.
that is typical Moore-on thinking ... remember, his eminence of the left, Michael Moore, himself, frequently tells his fans in Europe that the US has "the stupidest people on the planet".
Fool.
Bill Maher is an idiot with a capitol id.
That old HIV spirochete is burrowing away in the little punk weasel's brain stem and appears to be on the move.
Who is Bill Maher?
That's show biz!
How politically correct of him to say so. It's definitely a far cry from being politically incorrect.
It's also too bad for him that the South is the fastest growing region in the country, and as a result, it keeps becoming more politically relevant with each election.
He is also a pretty slimy character.
Gee, that's how the California Legislature has been governing for the past 30-odd years -- as if they're "taking the lead" on behalf of the rest of the country.
I might remind Bill that his Savior-King, Bill Clinton, is from the south.
It's nice to know Maher holds modern Southerners responsible for secession. What a pompous asshole.
Keep talking Bill, keep talking.
Lemme guess: whatever part of the US he's in!
Missed that stinker part, but caught his little tirade concerning GW's reaction to the news of the second tower being hit.
Or LACK of reaction, as he 'sees' it. Bill Maher is pathetic, with such a severe case of 'axe to grind', that it apparently clouds his judgement on a daily basis, now....
Hateful, Yankee, Racist.
Everybody deserves kindness and understanding except for "those people" It's not the Southrons who keep the hostility going.
Maher's officially at the top of the list:
ronstadt
raite
afleck
moore
streisand
dixie twits
etc. etc.
