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 don't disagree with anything you said.
Someone really made a movie with THAT title? ROTFLOL
Yep. If you go to IMDB.com and type in Bill Maher, it will give you a list of movies he's been in.
Maher is a liberal and will always denigrate people who aren't.
I would think the dumbest part of the country was the one that kept voting for California legislators.
I'll take your word for it. ROTFLOL
Is that Ozark crossing over the Current River?
White River, near Norfork.
Physician, heal thyself.
What really irks libs like Maher is the fact that the South along with small towns and rural areas in America(north and south)are overwhelmingly conservative ie the Backbone of America!
