Bill Maher’s (Shades of Al Qaeda) “New Rules” Insult to Our Troops in Iraq
CBS News ^ | August 13, 2007 | CBS Staff

Posted on 08/26/2007 3:50:02 PM PDT by DoughtyOne

For those of you who thought you knew how low Bill Maher would go to get a laugh, this one may surprise you. For most of you though, it probably won’t.

As part of Bill’s program ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’, he has a ‘New Rules” segment. During this segment Maher lampoons various public figures and subjects in the news. While viewing a few minutes of Maher’s program today, I viewed the following presentation.

Cut to program… (Maher has just roasted Victoria Becham for not smiling in public…)

Broadcast…

“New Rule, journalists in Iraq must stop celebrating miracle babies rescued by American Soldiers. Like when U.S. Troops found little Fatima lying in a pile of rubble, and instead of bashing her head in with a rock, they brought her to a hospital. (Using high pitched mocking voice…) Ooo, what a miracle. (Raising fist into the air…) USA, number one! Thanks CBS for turning Iraq into a feel good story for the Baby Jessica fell down a well crowd. And no offense Fatima, but the real miracle in Iraq will be if you ever manage to get out.”

This segment aired on Sunday the 26th of Augusts from 2:00pm to 3:00pm PDST.

I included the “Shades of Al Qaeda” phrase in the title of this thread, because Al Qaeda wants people around the world to think the worst of our troops, and Bill Maher has proven himself willing to advance that effort.

From my perspective Maher implies it was a miracle U.S. Troops didn’t bash the baby’s head in rather than take her to the hospital. The headline of the CBS article made it very clear that the troops gave their heart to her instead. And at no time does Maher address who likely killed the baby’s mother and uncle. (Terrorists perhaps?)

While Maher has proven himself capable of putting out cutting edge humor that was “Not Politically Correct”, which drew me in as a viewer years ago, he has devolved into an unfortunate Bush hating, troop despising, and Iraqi freedom denying punk.

Maher is a commie POS who needs his ass kicked for insulting US servicemen. Nothing new there.

Probably the most insulting part of that bit to me, to insinuate that American soldiers would bash in the head of a child with a rock.

maher’s empty black heart only finds delight in digusting others. i am not surprised by his comment, though i don’t think this was him at his worst.

He is an overt and aggressive black propagandist for our enemy.

He is a betrayer.

Especially when he says, “Oooo, what a miracle!” I’d love for this to blow up in his face. Some military families should band together and take HBO on over it.

Has anyone told Bill Maher that he’s about as funny as debriding time at the burn ward?

You con't really believe HBO really cares, do you?

From what I can tell from their programming, so long as the cable fees keep rolling in they and the other cable companies will keep on broadcasting and glorifying whatever they darn well want to broadcast and glorify.

Revenue streams talk. And, sad to admit, I'm not rushing out to cancel my subscription anytime soon. But, I might . . .

Let Bill M. speak! He’s performing a free service for the Republican party that they could not possible afford to pay for.

If anyone wants to know what hate and rage do to the soul, just look at Bill Maher.

Maybe Bill Maher is under the impression that John F. Kerry is still in the military.
