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 hope he doesn't expect to be greeted with southern hospitality the next time he dines in New Orleans.
Hate speech. As if I give a *hit what he thinks about anything.
I wonder if Maher can explain how it is smarter and more intellectual to spend long weekends at the Playboy mansion doing drugs and hookers, his admitted favorite pastime.
If that's Yankee smarts at work, I'll take the more guns and more Jesus, thank you.
May they stay away, indeed. Welcome to Oklahoma, now go home.
bttt!
I'd love to see Bill Maher dropped in the middle of the Georgia mountains with such intellectuals as Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Moore and Janeane Garafolo. Then he can say who is dumb.
Seriously, what do I care what this idiot thinks about me?
"But in general, it is the dumbest part of the country. "
Moron.
I guess he never was to New Joisey or Brooklyn, or maybe that's where he came from.
And there was nothing treasonous about secession, and there still isn't. Secession isn't mentioned in the Constituion. Maybe Mayer can find it in the same place they put something on abortion as a "right".
Mayer is a moron. Only an even bigger idiot like Larry King could let him get him get away with such drivel.
The South helped defeat the Brits all by themselves - at King's Mountain, Cowpens, and in half a hundred little battles, because Southerners are fighters. They like guns and know how to use them to defend themselves and their families. They don't need Mommy Government to do it for them. They didn't need Washington (another Southerner) to come and rescue them with an army.
And, as a matter of fact, moron Mayer, Southerners have contributed far beyond their actual population numbers in every major battle this country has fought in. Hero Sgt. Alvin York was a Southerner - remember him?
So take that and stuff up your liberal butt idiot Mayer.
And I am a history buff who was born in New Joisey, so I know of what I speak. I ahd the sense and luck to leave there.
Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Linda Ronstadt, my choices for trade with the terrorists to redeem any hostages, all hostages...PLEASE let's trade them to Al Quada for anyone. I can make the sacrifice, can't you??
Maher isn't even funny, WHY would anyone pay to see him. He was on with Jay Leno the other night, he has a lot of nerve calling the South dumb....I guarantee this man could not hold a real job!
Line up those three and take a good look at them; straight from pits of hell, they are the dumb ones. I can't believe they have the nerve to say anything about President Bush or the South.
I did ten years in Pennsylvania. You speak the truth.
...said a guy who once played the role of Bill Clinton's penis.
They're losing and they know it.
Mr Maher is undoubtedly wrong. The stupidest zip code in America happens to be the one he lives in.
"Because they, there's too many people that just think every problem can be solved by either more guns or more Jesus."
Yeah, they're stupid. More government is the answer!
Idiot is right. Forgetting politics the man has bashed the source of some of our greatest literature and music and what inspires that if not the soul of the region.
Bill Maher is still trying that tried and true method of getting laid by young stupid girls. Play up your liberalism and you get invited to the Playboy mansion to meet young dumb easy women.
He is a joke. First he started out being somewhat of a libetarian in his politics on "Politically Incorrect", and his stand up routine.
He is now a leftest because he wants to be a part of the Hollywood estalishment. Mahers political leftwing schtick(spelling?) as made him richer and more popular than he ever was being a stand up comedian. He never got to hang out with Pam Anderson or Madonna before he started spouting off his lefty politics.
Most thinking people know Maher is an uneducated goof ball who thinks that somehow he is a political genius and an intellectual.
The sad thing is in Hollywood compared to the other sluts and man whore druggies, Maher probably is considered an intellectual.
And to think .. this moron is helping Kerry win the election
