Maher: 'I Don't Trust Americans...They're Just Too F***ing Dumb!'

HBO's Bill Maher was spewing some extraordinary hatred for his fellow countrymen again Friday night, this time claiming that he doesn't "trust Americans to do the right thing or make the right choices" because "[t]hey're just too f***ing dumb."

Why does he feel this way?

Because not everyone is going to vote for Barack Obama.

Yes, folks, if you don't vote for the Messiah, it has nothing to do with the issues, or whether the junior senator from Illinois isn't qualified, or even because you think John McCain is a better candidate.

According to Maher, if you don't vote for Obama, you're "just too f***ing dumb." At least that's what he told The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan who fervently made the case on Friday's "Real Time" for folks to vote for the Democrat ticket in November (video available here courtesy our friend MsUnderestimated):

...I see myself as more of a sniper, a sniper of false logic and fallacious arguments.

If you relly think that The fact that he makes a living doing what he {Maher) does proves his point to my satisfaction. -- you need a whole lot more range time -- as a sniper, you obviously can't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle.

[adversarial]

Sorry, just because you say so dosn’t make it true.
If you have something substantial to say perhaps we can argue, but until then you are blowing smoke.

[adversarial]

Shall we analyze the statement a little bit and perhaps you will understand?

Maher states that he believes Americans are "too f***ing dumb" because not enough are voting for Obama.

I say that his success proves to my satisfaction that indeed...there are a lot of dumb americans

He identifies these dumb americans as those who choose not to vote for Obama

I identify these dumb americans as Bill Maher fans and supporters who enable him to make a living by saying such things.

I said it proves it to "my satisfaction"

Is it your contention that I am not satisfied with my opinion in this matter?

How would you possibly know?

[adversarial]

you obviously can't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle.

Perhaps not...but I can hit a gnat (you) in the ass...from across the country.

Come on...defend Bill Maher! I dare you! Or at least admit that in this instance, you went off half cocked.

OK.. Maher.. why don't you do the rest of us the favor of renouncing your US Citizenship and leave the US to never ever set foot in the US again?

[Turret Gunner A20]

Sorry, just because you say so dosn’t make it true.p. Might I say the same thing about some of yur trash below?

If you have something substantial to say perhaps we can argue ...

I don't really like to argue (or even discuss things) with someone who doesn't understands the English language (or as in your twisted interpretation of what Maher said)) adds to a quote in order to sneer at his opponent.

HAHAHAHA

[Turret Gunner A20]

Shall we analyze the statement a little bit ….

OK. Let’s. Maher states that he believes Americans are "too f***ing dumb" because not enough are voting for Obama.

Back to the firing range, oh mighty sniper. You missed that one, too. THAT is not what he said. What he said, according to the interview quote in the article was: MAHER: “… But I, I honestly do not trust Americans to do the right thing or make the right choices. They're just too fucking dumb. I'm sorry. I know I'm a bad guy for saying that.”

YOU SAID: The fact that he makes a living doing what he does proves his point to my satisfaction.

Any way you slice it, tiny one, THAT is a defense of his statement, as HE made it.

I say that his success proves to my satisfaction that indeed...there are a lot of dumb Americans

He identifies these dumb americans as those who choose not to vote for Obama No he didn’t -- he did not in any way qualify his statement that, “I honestly do not trust Americans to do the right thing or make the right choices. They're just too fucking dumb.” I identify these dumb americans as Bill Maher fans and supporters who enable him to make a living by saying such things. You, and most ofthe rest of us might, BUT he did not identify them in that statement.

I said it proves it to "my satisfaction"

That is true, and -- like it or not, THAT, as it stands, is an endorsement of what he actually said.

Is it your contention that I am not satisfied with my opinion in this matter?

How would you possibly know?

I don’t. And I’m not sure you do -- because you claim things that are not true and then make a fauz argument on them. That‘s pathetic.

I’m not real sure whether to LMAO or feel sorry for you

[Turret Gunner A20]

Come on...defend Bill Maher!

I'm not the one who has said a word in defense of that trashmouth -- you are.

I dare you!

My, my. Now that's real grown up of you.

Sorry, I don't play that silly game with children or with imature grown ups.

So either get straight about what I said in plain unambiguoous English, or drop off -- I have no intention of apursuing this or any other subject with a half-literate fool.

[adversarial]

I would say nice try...but it wasn’t.
You lost. You don’t need to admit it to make it true.
Point blank, in your face...I called the fans and supporters of Bill Maher stupid, and for some reason, known only to you,
you took offense.

[Turret Gunner A20]

You are really some piece of work -- you just can’t let it go,can you? You start off defending Maher in his nastiness, I call yhou one it, and you latch on like a leech. So, let’s, FOR THE LAST TIME, review this damned foolishness ****

MAHER: “… But I, I honestly do not trust Americans to do the right thing or make the right choices. They're just too fucking dumb. I'm sorry. I know I'm a bad guy for saying that.”

In post #65 -- YOU SAID: The fact that he makes a living doing what he does proves his point to my satisfaction.

Standing alone, as it does, that is a blanket endorsement of his cow droppings. You only added YOUR thoughts later, AFTER I (in jest -- in a play on your profile statement) remarkesd to the effect thst if you really meant what you claimed to be in your profile, you .were very wide of the mark -- and in need of more range time to qualify for the job of sniper. Of course, we now see that you are somewhat lacking in a sense of humor and/or you are not into subtlety based on an age old saying. As follows:

#81 -- ...I see myself as more of a sniper, a sniper of false logic and fallacious arguments.

If you re(a)lly think that The fact that he makes a living doing what he {Maher) does proves his point to my satisfaction. -- you need a whole lot more range time -- as a sniper, you obviously can't hit a bull in the butt with a bass fiddle.

You came back with --

#82 -- Sorry, just because you say so dosn’t (sic) make it true.

If you have something substantial to say perhaps we can argue, but until then you are blowing smoke.

And later

Perhaps not...but I can hit a gnat (you) in the ass...from across the country. Come on...defend Bill Maher! I dare you! Or at least admit that in this instance, you went off half cocked. And

for some reason, known only to you, you took offense.

I took offense???? Where the hell did you get that stupid idea???? You were the one flying off the handle, starting the name-calling

That followed --

#84 -- Point blank, in your face...I called the fans and supporters of Bill Maher stupid ….

Yeah, after I called you on your endorsement of trashmouth Maher. In my #87 I replied in detail to your rather nasty #83, clearly showing that you were making things up to add to what YOU THINK Maher said, so as to back up your little hissy fit.

Now you claim victory in a war (that really was no war), of your making, over YOUR stupid misundrestanding of what I said in answer your (possibly inadvertent) defense of that garbage-mouthed, Bill Maher.

You have won nothing, because there was nothing to win. But you have lost any vestige of credibility you may have had, by pursuing it, becoming even nastier over nothing, and in the process working as hard as you can to prove that you are not only deficient in the anger-management department, but convincing everyone that you will not shrink at making up lies to win your point.. ..

A losing proposition if there ever was one.

Now let’s both quit while we’re ahead -- there really is nothing more to say.

[adversarial]

I walked you through it like a child, and still you can't see. The point must just be a little to complex for you. I never have and never will defend Bill Maher, like you did.I was calling the people who provide him with a living by saying dumb things stupid...now I'm calling you stupid.

You started a fight with me, a stupid fight, and now you won't admit you were wrong, and you want to change the subject of the argument.You argue like a democrat.

[Turret Gunner A20]

I walked you through it like a child, and still you can't see.I walked you through it like a child, and still you can't see.

Hell, it appears from you false ravings that you don't have the mentallity to walk a cat to a litter box.

And, stupid, I do see. you are not only intellectually deficient, but you are also intellectuall totally dishonest. The point must just be a little to (sic) complex for you....

On the contrary, it is you who can't seem to wrap your two brain cells around the simplw fact that you are lying.

I never have and never will defend Bill Maher, like you did. What the hell do you call this? "The fact that he makes a living doing what he does proves his point to my satisfaction."

As to the rest of that sentence -- ... like you did. -- please control you childish bull shooting long enough to cut and paste my alleged "defense" of Maher, in it's entirety.

I was calling the people who provide him with a living by saying dumb things stupid...

Not when you said ">"The fact that he makes a living doing what he does proves his point to my satisfaction." you weren't -- that stood alone in that post,with no modification or qualification. You, being the intelllectually dishonest slug that you are, added that modification only after I called you on it.

...now I'm calling you stupid.

To borrow a phrase forom somewhere or the other: Sorry, just because you say so dosn’t (sic) make it true.

You started a fight with me, a stupid fight, and now you won't admit you were wrong, and you want to change the subject of the argument. You are the one who got your nose out of joint over my pointing out that, whether like it or not, agreed with Maher, lock, stock and barrel, and in nothing short of anasty way started the flame war. In short, you are a liar.

You argue like a democrat.

Sorry, but you are lying again. I tell the truth and you democrts can't stand it. Now, once again -- why don't you just STFU, and let the other people on this forum get on with discussing the subject of this thread?
