Maher and Guests Battle Over Whether Obama Governs ‘Out of Fear of Assassination’
Mediaite ^ | 10/12/13 | Andrew Kirell

Posted on 10/12/2013 10:02:05 PM PDT by Nachum

During the “Overtime” online edition of HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher posited that President Obama moderates his political positions out of fear of being assassinated, leading to a panel-wide battle over whether Americans are “subconsciously racist” against the president. While lamenting with Oliver Stone about the short political career of John F. Kennedy, Maher suggested that bold leaders like JFK “always seem to, at the end of the day, get cut out of the picture, violently or otherwise. And maybe that is why Barack Obama is more of a centrist than we want him to be?” “You think that?”

Dictators have no trouble finding zombies to do their bidding. They don’t have to be recruited; they throw themselves at the feet of their messiah.

These guys are really delusional, unhinged, cut off completely from reality, and they are devoted to their king.

Sounds like someone’s taking too much happy powder up the nose...

Interesting... 2DV just posted Gorge Will's column about the assasination of JFK and the politicalization of it to meet the liberal agenda... writing commie Osward out of the 1000 page history of the 1000 day presidency.

If Zer0 were "afraid" he would step down... but no... he is looking to be a martyr for the leftist cause. If some Jihadist with a suicide bomber vest takes him out, history writers will just revise history to saw it was some right wing TEA Party honkey that hates black people.

Reminds me of the person who said in Nov 2008 “I’m counting on Obama preventing Pelosi and Reid from getting too much of their liberal agendas passed.” I knew from that point on there was no use talking politics with that person.

No conservative would attempt anything like that. I told my wife today that conservatives don’t show up where liberals are speaking like the liberal hecklers do. Same thing with assassinations.

Oswald was basically jumping up and down shouting “hey, look at me!!! I’m a commie.” And the media said “what commie?...hey, see those nasty, evil conservatives over there? Probably Goldwater organized the hit.”

Since it's Bill Maher, the basic premise is sheer Bullsh*t! zero isn't afraid of being assassinated, if he were, he wouldn't be the gigantic communist asshat that he is!!

Every patriot I know wants this villain to pass peacefully, so as not to heighten his tarnished, and despicable legacy.. and the sooner the better..

“Bill Maher posited that President Obama moderates his political positions out of fear of being assassinated”

That’s like saying that Hitler’s compassion restrained him in his dealings with European Jews.

Never has any emperor, king, queen, strongman or any other kind of potentate been guarded like this individual and his lovely family, but it's still not enough. Even his aides that have never before had any kind of protection (see Valerie Jarrett) have bodyguards.
