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.

"... all because some microscopic goo on a subatomic level might... "

... someday, in its sentience, offer us forgiveness.

The Left has assumed the role of monsters.

Bill Maher is a Hollywood idiot who hangs out at the Playboy mansion..the only reason he gets chicks is he is a "celebrity", if you want to even call him that..he is a typical elitist a$$...God, I am so sick of these pieces of crap bashing religion, patriotism, etc. They think they are so above everyone else...

I haven't started a movement all week. I think it's time.

I wonder what would happen to the slimes in the entertainment industry if all of their customers went on strike.

What do you say? For the month of August . . .
No Television
No Movies
No floor Shows
No Entertainment that has anything to do with Hollywood.

I know you're already feeling the withdrawal symptoms just thinking about it. Come on you Dummies. That's what they all think about us, all of us. They are elitists who think you were born to worship them. Show them you can make it for one month without them.

Write a letter to the editor and tell them that you are fed up with the abuse being forced on us by idiots we pay to entertain us, not tell us how to vote or live our lives.

Call the liberal talk show (surely there's one left somewhere) and tell them what's going on.

Call Rush and Sean, and ALL of the conservative talk shows, and tell them how much fun you're having talking and reading for a change. Tell all of the them you are going on strike until these dorks realize who is paying their salary. Say that you are firing them until they either get back in touch with their fans, or shut up out of fear for their jobs.

Be sure that you include all of the talking heads. Tell them you only want the news from them. Tell them you want them to get off of the President's back while you're at it. Tell them you don't need their interpretation or slant of the news. Just the facts. Tell them you aren't watching for the month of August (at least) just to let them know you don't need their help.

Maybe we should not buy a liberal paper either. If anything important happens three people will tell you within an hour anyway. We can always log on and get the news from an alternative news source . . . like FR for instance.

Who knows you might find that you like books and conversation. I'm going to do it if I have to do it alone. Of course It won't be all that hard for me because I have already become so fed up with the idiots that I don't own a TV. I also will not go to a movie. It really isn't all that hard. I decided to refuse to support the destruction of our country by immoral, low life, lame brained idols who think we can't live our lives without their help. I don't know about you, but I found out that my life is richer for not having them in it.

ANY TAKERS?

Indeed! Welcome aboard.

You've included one of my favorite quotes...

"All that is necessary for the forces of evil to triumph is for enough good men to do nothing." -Edmund Burke

This is a site devoted to the denunciation of evil.. where good Men and Woman are motivated to do something. Glad to have you aboard.

I just read this:

CALLER: Yes, do you think President Bush is sincere in supporting Ariel Sharon's position, the government with denying the Palestinians right of return or do you think this is just a ploy to get the Jewish vote?

MAHER: I think this is all -- this has everything to do with the fact that George Bush is a born-again Christian. OK, and this is why religion is so dangerous in our society. Because George Bush is not just a Christian. He's a born-again, they believe Jesus is coming back any day now. And they want everything to be perfect for him. They call it the rapture, right?



That Maher is evil.
No doubt about it.

The most racist people I have ever lived around were in the Northeast.

With some smart ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too ..."

They left the part off where Maher said that "born again Christians believe Jesus is coming back again and it is called the rapture, ooooohhhh. That scares me."

Oh, for pete's sake, how much faster can this guy race to irrelevance? Imagine a world in which people are criticized for being patriotic and religious, the world of Bill Maher.

Thanks for the transcript, kcvl.

Maher is, sadly, another faithless elitist.

How does one's soul reach those depths? Wow.
