Here's a clip from his old show that shows who the real Bill Maher is. Why this guy is constantly presented as some serious commentator is beyond me. We all know why he got fired from this show for comments regarding 9/11. We all know how he insulted the military and called the troops uneducated idiots and "low hanging fruit". But many not be aware that in Jan 11 of 2001, he sunk to an even lower low.
He compared mentally challenged childred or in his words "retarded children". You can see that even his audience, folks who you'd think would be supportive of him and fans of his and get his humor, remain totally silent. You can hear a pin drop.
Among his pearls of wisdom. "I have two dogs. If I had two retarded children, uh, I'd be a hero. And yet the dogs, which are pretty much the same thing...what, they're sweet, they're loving, they're kind, but they don't mentally advance at all"
and: "What? Dogs are like retarded children"
and: Unknown guest: "My nine year old nephew is retarded, I've never thought of him like a little dog" Maher: "Well, maybe you should"
This is the character of the man Time/Warner pays millions to. A man who will go on national television and find humor and laugh at children afllicted with some of the worst conditions known. Conditions they had nothing to do with.
Apparently it's ok for Time/Warner/HBO to keep a guy like this on the payroll and for the media to continue to roll him out as some learned pundit. If he had said anything like that about blacks, gays, jews, etc... he'd have been fired on the spot and we'd never have heard from him again. But I guess it's ok to make fun of kids. They don't have a lobby or a support group who will stand up and fight for them.
Now, it's a free country and if HBO wants to keep Maher on, they certainly can do so. But the public deserves to know who this guy really is.
If he wants to start something in Delaware, he should be aware that there's plenty of footage of him as well.
Lets see if the media plays this and shows people who the real Maher is.
The only sub-human here is Maher.
Good post. Sauce for the goose! Two can play the old rummage through the archives game.
The more I hear about Bill Maher, the more I feel sorry for him. He obviously has an internal anger that has mentally and spiritually damaged him beyond repair. It’s an ugly that can’t be fixed.
Maher is living proof of the DemocRATS’ claim that they all evolved from apes .
Maybe, but a nose job couldn’t hurt!
Maher, the main reason I dropped HBO years ago.
He definitely hates children—retarded or not.
Believe me the nose job I'd give him would hurt ;^)
You’re right, he’s one of the angriest individuals I’ve ever seen. It’s painful to watch him. (Which is why I haven’t in years)
I don’t think that’s a nose. I think that’s an extra cranium. Even two can’t help the guy.
Maher would have made an excellent Captain in Hitler’s SS.
He would have fit right in with that mentally and spiritually damaged group of people.
If a conservative had said that, they’d never be on the air again. Liberals are the most thug hypocrits that have ever walked the planet.
I figured out what kind of jackass Bill Maher really was when Barbara Olson, who was supposed to be on HIS show on 9/11, was brutally murdered on American Airlines Flight 11, Bill Maher being the prick that he is, called the monsters who murdered this woman and 3,000+ others as “Brave in what they did” Maher is a heartless coward who has NO soul
Unfortunately, Maher is not McDonnell’s opponent. It’s the bearded Marxist.
Same here. Couldn’t stomach the thought of helping pay even a nickel of his contract.
Republicans needs to start standing up. I’d love to hear O’Donnell say something like:
“Yes, I may have dabbled in witchcraft a while back. I guess that makes me a wacko. If only I had dabbled in the following I’d be a member in good standing of the DC and liberal establishment:
Gotten totally drunk, drove my car off a bridge and left a young woman to die, I could have been the Lion ofd the Senate.
Engaged in mumerous “waiter sandwiches” in DC bars and restaurants I could have been the Senator from CT or his buddy from MA.
Served in a leadership position in the KKK, I could have been the President Pro Tem and the conscience of the Senate.
Went before Congress and went on Natl TV and slandered my nation and my fellow troops calling them rapists and butchers. I could be head of the Foreign Relations committee and my party’s nominee for President.
Cheated on my terminally ill spouse and got pregnant by my cameraman I could hvae been his VP nominee and a former Senator
Paid for hookers in DC hotel rooms I could have been the Gov or NY and a rising dem star
Engaged in multiple sessions of oral sex in the oval office with a 20 yr old intern young enough to be my son, and then went on natl tv and blatantly lied to the nation about it, I could have been the President.
Dabbled in cocaine and marijuana in my younger days, I could be the current President.
Almost got expelled from law school for cheating and then had to end my Presidential campaign in disgrace for plagiarizing some guy from the UK. I could be the current VP and fmr chairman of the Foreign Relations committee.
Enough is enough
That Maher is considered by Ann Coulter to be a real intellectual, mental powerhouse and enjoys his company is beyond my ability to understand.
Agreed. I was just linking to this so people could an idea of who this guy really is. What kind of guy he is. Not that we didn’t already know. And to point out that there is footage of him out there that can be replayed over and over again if some in the media were to decide to do so that could make things very uncomfortable.
I wonder what HBO and Time would have to say about paying a guy millions who has that viewpoint.
That said, I think Christine should make Maher a deal. She’ll go on his show in Jan after she’s sworn in.
