NewsBusters readers know that one of my guilty pleasures is demonstrating virtually every Saturday how intellectually challenged the high and mighty Bill Maher is.
On HBO's Real Time Friday, the host perfectly demonstrated this himself by blaming gerrymandering for the Senate's failure to implement an assault weapons ban moments after he called Americans "morons" and "complete idiots" that "don't know anything" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Maher Calls Americans 'Morons' Moments Before Blaming Senate Weapons Ban Failure on Gerrymandering
After showing a video clip of Tea Partiers in New Jersey not being able to list one thing they’d like cut out of the federal budget, Maher said, “This is the point I'm trying to make is that, you know, that's why I showed it after Obama saying, ‘It has to begin with the people and people have to put the pressure on the politicians.’ It's hopeless here because the people are morons.”
“They don't know what to tell the politicians,” Maher arrogantly continued. “They are complete idiots. Whenever I hear, ‘Oh, you know what? We need a government as good as the people,’ the people are worse. People don't know anything.”
About eight minutes later, Maher perfectly exemplified his point.
During a discussion about why the assault weapons ban died last week, Republican strategist John Feehery said, “The NRA has this bumper sticker, ‘I'm From the NRA And I Vote.’ And you know what? They do…That's why Harry Reid pulled this bill is because he had about nine Senators in red states he was worried about and if he put this vote up, they'd lose.”
“Isn't it also because we are such a gerrymandered country?” Maher actually asked.
“Well this is the Senate,” Feehery corrected. “There's no gerrymandering in the Senate.”
Indeed. Gerrymandering is for House Congressional districts. You can't gerrymander a state.
The look on Maher's face after Feehery corrected him showed he didn't know this.
As such, what was that you were saying about people being “morons”and “complete idiots” that “don’t know anything,” Mr. Maher?
He is clearly a voice for the Low Information Voters--who are too ignorant to see what a fool he really is.
Has Bill forgotten that the "morons" put his boy Obama back in the White House?
I think people should stop referring to Maher. Create “controversy” and people will watch the clown. I can’t remember her name but a famous actress stated “I don’t care what you are saying about me as long as you are saying something.”
feh...
Normally I would agree but in this case he displays what an idiot he really is and should be ridiculed far and wide.
Gerrymandered senate indeed. LOL
Heard that LibTurds think Hitler was better than FDR.
The real morons are those who pay this mentally unstable exhibitionist for his meaningless ramblings.
Who cares what the moron says or thinks?
Bill Maher is a libtard who has an audience of morons who get their news from him and Jon Stewart. He is right in his conclusion because it is the crowd he speaks to most regularly.
I really that he is putting on a show because no one is that completely stupid!
Takes one to know one....
Was Stewart the guy who said "the truth has a liberal bias"?
When the Government, police and military own all the guns....be afraid.
Take Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Joe Biden's IQs and add them together. Take the result and set your thermostat to that number. Put on a sweater and pretend Jimmuh Carter is president again.
This isn’t an editorial.
>> “Isn’t it also because we are such a gerrymandered country?” Maher actually asked.
Dick.
I suspect the video clip had to be heavily edited to show the few Tea Partiers who didn't have an opinion on what should be cut from the federal budget.
The only problem I would have is where to begin.
Thanks Kaslin.
