Maher will have to go a long way to stoop lower than this. What a disgusting and hate-filled person
Then again, maybe they WON'T!
He is using a metaphor to show how all of us pay lip service to supporting the troops. I disagree with it, and it’s implication (that troops are stupid and easily tricked), but it does not mean what people think it does. It is the old liberal canard- that conservatives really don’t care about the troops. It is a dig at us, not the troops.
It totally changed the meaning of it. For yourself and others that didn't watch the video, here is the transcript. Notice how the money quote changes totally when taken in context.
"The love of our troops, the ultimate in fake patriotism. Are you kidding? The troops: we pay them like $hit, we *uck them and trick them on deployments. We nickle and dime them on medical care when they get home. Not to mention the stupid wars that we send them to. Yeah, we love the troop the way Michael Vick loves dogs. You know what? You know how I would feel supported? If I was a troop overseas? If the people back home were clamoring to get me out of this pointless errand. That's how I would feel supported."
OK, then as you say and I withdraw my previous protest/comment.
This ever classy, pathetic excuse for a life form seen here whacked out on a large quantity of booze and/or exotic chemicals in his Halloween, 2007 STEVE IRWIN get-up! What a guy!!
I don't give a rat's you-know-what what that leftist a-hole has to say...about anything.
Thanks for the transcript...I do see the shift, although he's still full of fecal matter...and I say that as a veteran.
I’m still trying to figure out why someone felt the need to post it on Breitbart.
He is the reason HBO is not on our TV’s.
“I wont watch that ass hat but does anyone here really think that the current admin cares THAT much about our military personnel?”
Rule of engagement for an Obama Surge:
“Don’t damage any property.”
( Note: target area is littered with IEDs )
” Don’t kill innocent civilians”
(note: All of whom have been given a month’s notice to clear out )
>> He attacks mostly Republicans, not the troops.
Well, you’re wrong.
He’s attacking the troop, not unlike telling the son his parents do not love him.
Maher is ridiculing the patriotic and emotional connection that exists between citizens and the Military, between parents and their children that serve, and the young ones that wait for their parents to return from tours of duty.
Maher’s cynicism thrives on the suffering of the Country and those that commit themselves to protecting it. He’s a parasite.
“If you watch the actual video, he makes some decent points about how we treat soldiers.He attacks mostly Republicans, not the troops.Im sure he would like to be able to attack the babykillers, but that dog wont hunt at the present time.”
Never confuse education with intelligence.
His show needs to be canceled for that. Enough is enough.
Bill Maher = HBO = Never (He is a disgusting person that feeds off disgusting people)
"The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?"

“These people are completely clueless about anything that concerns our military.”
Actually they are not. They are the spoiled children who treat others like crap yet knowing they can hide behind the protection and security of mommy and daddy. They know the troops will protect them thru thick or thin and won’t retaliate, so they go out with their childish insults.
Who?
Look we have impossible rules of engagement. We don’t let them do what they have trained to do - blow things up and kill people. The Iraq mission is essentially completed, the troops need to come home. Afghanistan can be done in 6 months, if we let the troops do what we sent them there for.
What he said was correct, the troops have been treated worse than any of us would treat a dog. AND it was done by our own government under Bush and under Obama. This is inexcusable.
In short, let the troops do their job, kill the enemy and leave. No we don’t rebuild them.
This idiot just wants the headlines - ignore him and he'll go away.
