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.
When the south voted for dims, they weren't dumb.
Dear BM,
Don't trip over War & Peace and slip on the grits slamming into my Monet when avoiding the screen door slamming you in the butt on your way out.
Bless your little ole' heart.

A second for James Lee Burke!
Thanks for the links - sent a missive to HBO to say I was cancelling - enough is enough!
If that's not right, I have yet to see it.
I missed him somehow, but I will look for his work. Thank you.
One can't have too many guns or too much Jesus. It's the lack of them in a society that causes problems.
Can't disagree here. I can't think of many problems today that wouldn't be solved by a few more guns and a whole bunch more Jesus.
He sure did say that, I thought someone would of called in and said Bill read the Bible before you quote from it...
He said Homosexuality is GOD's way of balancing out nature?
really? according to who? I guess the Mad insane world of Maher...
Yeah, Maher shouldn't measure the entire South by Bubba and Hillery's yardstick. He'll come up short every time....'Course his name is Bill, too....
Thanks for the heads up.
Even roller derby or an insipid reality show is light years above that dimwitted display of intellectual ineptitude.
He's ANOTHER example of the Ontario IDIOT Liberals. What an embarassment.
"Idiot."
Nope....Libertarian. The most famous Libbie on the planet today, to be exact.
And a prime example of why I view Libertarians the same way I do Scientology members. As people of no consequence, politically or otherwise.
Maybe he does some unusual things with that fume hood of a nose. Look at the size of that thing...
This just proves how ill educated and stupid he is.It's beyond reason,but I guess he imagines that he can say anything and get away with it.
And yet all of FR's Libertarians disavow Maher and say that he isn't really a Libertarain,even though that's exactly what he ALWAYS says he is.They think that they are better able to say what he is,than he is? LOL
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
every time we go somewhere up NORTH, she is subjected to hateFILLED,arrogantly IGNORANT,ANTI-Semitic PREJUDICE.
that NEVER HAPPENS in any SOUTHERN city we go to on business! NEVER!
and the damnyankees talk about our "ignorance & prejudice"! they are NOTHING but HYPOCRYTES!
NOTE: being northernborn no more makes you a damnyankee than it makes you a plumbler. "damnyankee" is a LEARNED prejudice, which is NO BETTER than RACISM!
