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.
What does that mean?
Well thank goodness someone like him doesn't come often!! I wouldn't walk across the street to see him!
Your post is ambiguous. I hope you are not referring ro Rush with that comment!
That reminds me of something I read about Southerners. We have our share of bad drivers here in Alabama. But, if the driver is an elderly lady, we are supposed to say, "Bless her little heart" and keep driving.
If ever an actor was born for a part...
Maher is such a vile cretin,
he doesn't even merit a "bless
his heart."
Now that I think about it I recall another slimy character named Bill.
This goofball won't admit he is a liberal. He claimed Liberterian.
Indeed.
I think Maher meant Southerners is stupid 'cause they done figure out what to do by reading chickens**t (like the Bible) instead of following their "compass", like great moral relativist intellectual "thinkers" like Bill Maher. A slap at Southerners and "misguided" religious folks.
Well, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
LOL!
Maher's definition of being "politically incorrect" was to bash Republican and conservatives while denying being a liberal.
This should help Kerry win the Southern vote. Republicans should just sit back & let these so called entertainers do their work for them.
I agree with you about the Country but I just HATE elitist northeastern liberals and wacko leftist Kalifornians.
Probably because I had to spend so much time listening to their garbage.
I like Southerners and westerners the most. They have the highest percentage of decent, patriotic Americans.
EXACTLY RIGHT!
Bill Mahr has a lot of room to talk. If there's any one part of the country that's dumber than all the rest, it is most certainly Hollywood and it's psychological subsidiaries. What a !@#$% moron.
Maybe if we grab 'im an' hold him down and feed him enough possum and chitlins, he'll come to his senses!!
Lord..... just once I wish they'd have the ba!!s to say this down here where our boys can set them straight.
That said, as long as I have my guns, family and Jesus what more do I need? certainly not approval from the hollywood sleeze society. He's a big yawn.......
I would rather kick his *ss and bless his heart. lol!
