Maher Mocks American Electorate: 'They’re Like a Dog,' 'Too Stupid'

It’s hard to tell what the end goal of HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher’s is with his constant barrage of elitist shots at the American public. Does he think demeaning the average citizens is the best way to win people over on whatever issue he is carping about on that given day?

On the Oct. 26 broadcast of TBS’s “Lopez Tonight,” Maher took a couple of cynical and contemptible jabs at the America people. After expressing his disappointment in the Obama administration for not agreeing to abide by the will of California voters should Proposition 19 pass and decriminalize marijuana, he explained it was the role of President Barack Obama’s party to steer the country in a particular direction, albeit in some very unflattering terms.

Contempt for the American people isn't going to win anyone to your side.

[Red Badger]

Same electorate that elected the Zero and all the Dem commies............

[popdonnelly]

Bill Maher calling other people stupid! How about that, folks?

[depressed in 06]

Anyone watching his show, certainly, falls into that category.

[Spok]

I must admit, I’m becoming a Behar fan. She’s doing almost as much damage to the libs as Gov. Palin!

[Mr. K]

This doofus nobody also knows if he did not spout the liberal agenda that he would be an UNEMPLOYED doofus nobody

Maybe he is not as stupid as he looks, and he knows this is going to drive up the Republican turnout

[beaversmom]

Gee, can’t he come up with some new insults. He says this every few months. Not very creative.

[GoCards]

What are they doing? Its insane. Wow!

[Spok]

Are Maher and Behar related? I’m getting them mixed up.

“American Electorate: ‘They’re Like a Dog,’ ‘Too Stupid’”

Woof woof, we want Obama; woof woof.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey Maher, my two dogs are smarter then U are! During the election my little Nesmo paid his respects to an Obama/Biden sign in front of someone’s house on the next block..that’s how I knew he was a Republican! Maher makes a bucket of rocks look smart

[avacado]

"He was raised in his Irish American father's Catholic religion, remaining unaware that his mother was Jewish until his early teenage years."

Not too bright himself!

[Bitsy]

Maher can call us stupid because he majored in English at Cornell University - that makes him a political genius/s. Liberals are such low life.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Billy Boy is coming unglued!.....The majority don’t count...right billyboy?

[Servant of the Cross]

Bill Maher ... drunk, ugly and stoopid is no way to go through life, son.

[surfer]

But he is absolutely correct...how else do you explain Obama getting elected in the first place?

[Tublecane]

I agree with Maher (well, not the dog part), but I assume unlike him no matter what party is expected to prevail. How much you wanna bet he praised the wisdom of the masses when Obama ascended?

[InternetTuffGuy]

I agree with Maher; After all the electorate gave us the likes of Obama, Specter, Whimsy Lindsey, Pelosi...

[Heart of Georgia]

Isn’t this the same statement that he issued yesterday/last week/last month, etc. Does he ever say anything else? This is one of the most bitterly miserable human beings I’ve ever seen.

Basically, if not for the small amount of attention he gets from his once/week or so statement that the electorate is stupid, he’d have absolutely nothing in his miserable life. How pitiful is that.

[al_c]

He didn’t seem to think that when the people elected our current pResident.
