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?”

more CENTRIST than they want him to be?!?!?!?!!??

how the hell could he be any more left without stalin and hitler-like purges of millions

Those are coming. The history of every single Marxist regime that have achieved the kind of power Obama and his MarxoFascists have, end up purging millions.

Then again, FBI agent Grathwol reported that the very people who helped loft Obama into power actually planned to exterminate millions of us.

We just don't think it can happen here. But history teaches us otherwise.

Must be the talking points for the JFK assassiversary.

Libs want a fresh martyr, looks like.

Realistically... this is Obama. He’d just bounce back from a deadly wound anyway.

The notion the he thinks Obama is a centrist is the first clue that Maher is a propagandist.

"The president knows, explained Maher, that if he strays “too far to the left,” he would stoke enough anger to be assassinated."

How many recent assassins have been conservatives?

I actually do worry that, if he becomes a liability to his handlers, they themselves, the Soros gang may do something and use it to justify some kind of “night of the broken glass”.

I don’t think there has been an American president (or ANYONE in modern time) employing a taster before.

That is seriously both insane and ineffective.

This ever classy, waste of otherwise valuable protoplasm and pathetic excuse for a life form is seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up! Bill Maher: Giving SCHMUCKS and MORONS a bad name for over 20 years!!

Well, lets see.
Obaba Regime buys 2 billion (+?) rounds on non-military use ammo (banned by Geneva Convention...only legal to shoot citizens with).
Obaba sets up his own domestic enforcer unit “Homeland Security/TSA” ala Hitler who also could not completely trust the Military.
Obaba militarizes the police and police become looking more and more like Military (machine guns, tanks, etc).
Obaba/Homeland Security define ordinary Americans as terrorists (and political opponents).
Obaba rules by dictate, picking and choosing which laws he will or will not obey/enforce.
Obaba ... on and on and on.

Chavez, Obaba, twenty five cents of difference.

Dictators usually are afraid of assassination. Eventually paranoia sets in.

Let Maher run the country. It couldn’t hurt any worse than Hussein. I would then posit the question.

Nah, he inoculated himself against that threat when he chose Biden as a running mate. Why else would he do it?

If Dear Leader were diagnosed with the terminal Hugo Chavez disease, would he seek treatment in Cuba? Or, could we just convene a death panel and give him aspirin? [Then we set up an Obama is toast pool.]

JFK was murdered by a Communist.

MLK was murdered by a Democrat.

Different Peas, same Pod.

Maher’s “talent” or more acurately schtick, is positing a highly controversial question and making believe the conservative audience must answer it, when in fact Obama should. Leftist sleight of hand.

********************
I haven’t read the comments on this thread yet...

Bill Maher has done too many drugs in his life, if he believes Obama is a centrist!

Obama has proven time and again that he’s part of the Muslim Brotherhood, with strong Communist leanings, as he has aided the Muslim terriorists in the PA, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, USA, etc., etc.

Every policy Obama has tried to force on Americans, using Holder as the AG, is aimed at furthering his socialistic doctrine. His administration has been chock-full of people involved with the MB.
