Would-be comedian and commentator Bill Maher decided to close out this season’s premiere of Real Time with his tiresome rant against the Tea Party - or, as he likes to call them, the “teabaggers.” Maher, a Leftist windbag, once again is giving the finger to the American people and to our Constitution – a trait he shares with so many of his friends on the Left.
On “The O’Reilly Factor” last night, Bill O’Reilly chided Maher for not following President Obama’s advice to engage in more civil dialogue. However, he let Maher off the hook on the grounds that he was just an entertainer, not a journalist.
That would be fine if Maher were simply making jokes rather than pretending to give us a history lesson. Moreover, there was a Reuters-Thomson journalist sitting at the roundtable from which Maher was spouting off his revisionist portrayal of the Founding Fathers. She must have left her journalist credentials at home, since she didn’t make any effort to correct Maher’s untruths. Instead, she laughed and nodded her head up and down like an adoring child.
After apparently channeling George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin and the other Founding Fathers, Maher concluded that they were “nothing like” the “teabaggers.” You see, Maher believes he knows for certain that the Founding Fathers had no use for the Bible or religion in general, thought little of the common man and were just too darned smart for the likes of the Tea Party members. Indeed, according to Maher, the Founding Fathers would have hated their guts.
Maybe Maher mistakenly channeled the beliefs of his own ancestors but obviously knows nothing about what the Founding Fathers believed.

O’Reilly is a moron. The few times I watch the show he’s either kissing Obama’s butt or swearing up and down that the democrats are not communists. The guy is clueless as to what is happening in this country.
I can see why O’Reilley has remained the top rated show for so many years. It is very entertaining and informative. I watch it every chance I get.
gave up on O’Reily many years ago...
I think we can do ourselves a big favor by ignoring Mr. Maher.
His audience agrees with him - and that’s not many people.
Forget him.
Being a jackass is the only way Maher can have a show, as it only appeals to jackasses.
O’Ego is Claude Rains to me ever since he unceremoniously and quite nastily, dismissively pooped on the Swift Boat Vets to defend fellow northeastern elite, Traitor Kerry.
35 FR Bonus Points to nail the reference above.
Anyway is it just me, or has BOR been even more insufferable than usual lately? I used to be able to tolerate him but his narcissism is just over the top.
Invisible?
O’reilly is also “just an entertainer”. Unfortunately, nobody has ever told him that, and he thinks his opinion matters. His phony “lookin’ out for the folks” lie and his endless butt-kissing of the left are even more infuriating than his basic stupidity. I wish one of his guests would remark, “You don’t watch the news, do you, Bill?”
In order to be an entertainer one must first be entertaining.
“O’Ego is Claude Rains to me
Invisible?”

Nailed.
The Invisible Man (1933).
A lay-up, no?
Although nobody is nearly as smart as they think they are, that dictum especially applies to liberals. When you get a bunch them sitting around discussing what they think they know i.e. conservatives are all stupid troglodytes who hate everyone, they sound uh especially ignorant. Maher might be the King of the Ignorati.
Laura Ingrahm hinted that BOR was being soft on Obama beacuse he had an interview coming up and BOR went off the rails.
He can’t handle the truth for sure
I honor Mr. Maher and Mr. O'Reilly by following your request. We should all give them a big dose of ignoring.
Yeah, he's one of my favs.
The boy is desperate to be accepted by leftist pseudo-journalists..
He is indeed Ted Baxter.. for real.. he has an empty scrotum.. and quite metro-sexual..
Maybe O’Really is an ex-choirboy with unresolved issues..
Plus don't forget how he constantly claims he's a "Harvard" guy, even
though it's an MPA (iirc).
Sort of like Olberman bragging about going to Cornell, when he
weaseled in via the ag school and managed to eke out a degree in
communications.
I lasted a bit longer with BOR after Kerry, probably because he
once managed to get Paul Krugman mad enough to call him
"a quasi-murderer."
I still think part of the annual presidential colonoscopy should rank
the results of whose DNA was found farthest from the end.
I'm quite sure BOR's would be way up in BHO's.
Yeah, that WAS funny. I replayed it a couple times. It was fun to see BORs reaction.
She obviously hit the mark.
