Bill Maher ca 2001 compares mentally-challenged children to Dogs, says treat them like dogs.
YouTube ^

Posted on 09/20/2010 9:28:12 PM PDT by jeltz25

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.

From Maher’s Wikipedia bio:

In 1997, during filming of an episode of the game show Pictionary, Erik Estrada accidentally punched Maher in the face in a moment of exuberance.

That Maher is considered by Ann Coulter to be a real intellectual, mental powerhouse and enjoys his company is beyond my ability to understand.

*************

It just boils down to the fact that he is creative and unrestrained in expressing his malice.

Only because he couldn't sink to say "Kill them" to save money for people whose votes dems could buy -- yet.

I agree. I used to have nothing but steaming anger whenever I heard him spew his nonsense, but I’ve grown pity him.

Whenever I’m in Washington, DC I make it a habit of visiting at least one museum or historic site. On my latest trip, I made it to the Holocaust Memorial Museum. I planned to stay about an hour and grab bit somewhere close.

Almost 4-hrs later, I left and was so emotionally drained I couldn’t eat. What an amazing place. Startling billboard sized black & white images greet you at the start of the self-guided tour. Video and audio recordings, thousands of archived pieces; it all just tears you apart.

The part that’s still vividly sticks in my head is the area that illustrates Joseph Mengele’s (SS Dr at Auschwitz) experiments on mentally retarded men, women and children. It moved me to tears. The Nazis photographed everything atrocity in detail and these experiments were no exception. Watching these images of human beings dissected like lab animals is one of the most ghastly things I’ve done.
Bill Maher is an ignorant fool who I’ve grown to dismiss intellectually. If this is a man the left chooses to reward with stars on the “Walk of Fame”, HBO shows, etc, let them. It speaks more their lack of a conscious and values as much as it does his.

I had no idea he said these things. But I am not surprised. He is a little Nazi like his holywood comrades. We have a super stinking elite in power right now.

But they’re good at politicing. When you’re not bound by the truth, politics make you more nimble. Wouldn’t work if the folks were savvy enough to know when they are lying.. but they’re watching TV sports.

He is, but don’t forget , he makes a good living off of his “shock” value, just like that no-talent hag, Madonna. If we ignore him, maybe he’ll just go away.

If I'm not mistaken, based on his ratings, many people are ignoring him but he's still not going away.

This all works out well for Christine. Don’t worry.

I vaguely remember how Bill Maher was as a comic. It wasn’t like his persona. Sorta like how Steven Colbert isn’t really Steven Colbert. He’s “playing” Steven Colbert. Jon Stewart is Jon Stewart as far as I can tell. But Bill Maher could be “playing” Bill Maher, like Colbert does. Why would he do this? For now. So that this can happen. Like a long skit.

And of course how there’s no way you have someone on 22 times if you don’t like them. You pick someone you like when you have the power like Bill did back then. 22 separate times. Your favorite guest is usually someone you don’t hate. Think welcome Linda McMahon. Creating storylines. I think Bill Maher is the “heel”, and Christine is the hero.

Really?

Technically yes, but people aren’t paying attention to that guy. Maher it appears is the living embodiment of all evil.
At least he’s acting like he is. Christine. It’s like God vs the Devil. Which a lot of people do have an opinion on.

These kinds of themes make this race a little more interesting than the US Senate race next door in Maryland.

I wonder why Monika Lewinsky wasn’t called a hooker.

She got paid, she did oral sex to the guy who was giving her the money.

Looks like Maher is the new head of the democrat party.
