Alexandra Pelosi appeared on Real Time tonight with two purposes: to defend the video she filmed of voters in Mississippi that aired on the show last week, and to air a brand-new video that Bill Maher admitted would probably anger liberals in the same way the aforementioned video angered conservatives. For her new video, Pelosi spoke to African-American welfare recipients in New York. There was far less laughter during this piece than the Mississippi one (which Pelosi pointed out after it played), but there were still some revealing moments contained therein. One of the men lined up outside the welfare office said he was more interested in collecting than going across the street to try and find a job. Pelosi asked surprisingly tough questions, like “When was the last time you actually worked?” and “Why should my tax dollars be going to you?”
Maher joked before the video aired that Pelosi might not want to reveal her real New York address in case anyone has a problem with the video. Pelosi revealed afterwards that some of the people she spoke to at HBO told her that the video was too controversial for TV. She noted a slight hypocrisy between the willingness to run a video of “toothless rednecks, but when it’s our neighbors,” it becomes a problem. However, she and Maher did make sure to give some context to the two videos so that they were not completely equating both situations. Pelosi contrasted the money spent by the government on food stamps as opposed to defense, which gets a significantly larger portion of the federal budget.
Because this video depicted just as extreme a side as Pelosi’s first piece, she predicted there would be a similar response from the left complaining about her new video.
“These are stereotypes. They’re just snapshots. Now, by Monday morning, you’re going to have the left wing feeding frenzy attacking you for making the Democrats look bad.”
Maher joked that some might interpret the video as both himself and Pelosi being racists, which Maher said would be absurd because of his donation to President Obama‘s Super PAC. He did acknowledge that some of the people in the New York video do have real problems to deal with, because there is a stronger “legacy” to that as opposed to anything uttered by the Mississippians in the first video. And as for that piece, Maher also defended himself against the idea that he was being condescending to those people.
“When I see the toothless guy, as a liberal, I say, ‘I want to help you get teeth.’ Why does that make me an asshole? I don’t understand why… ‘You damn Yankee trying to get me teeth!’”
Maher predicted Pelosi’s new video would drive Fox News crazy because it gave a slightly negative depiction of welfare recipients (and Obama supporters), but it came from two liberals.
I don’t think miss pelosi is a slut, she likely has to wait until the guy is plenty drunk to get any.

Help! Can’t! Breathe! Laughing! Choking!
Just ax her if her dislike is because the new immigrants don't feel entitled to other peoples money, and actually have a job?
Well, that’s only fair. Every time I see Bill Maher, I have an undeniable urge to buy him a brain.

Sadly too true. And that victim-entitlement mentality on earth began in the Garden.
In the Garden, the devil, who apparently thinks it was unfair that he was kicked out of Heaven for presuming to climb up some other way to glory in the first “occupy (God’s throne) movement”, sought to instill this mentality by working to convince Eve she was victimized by a solitary restriction.
And which she was essentially told she should have equal rights to, it being unfair that God should have a certain unique knowledge and what went with it, and therefore her rebellion was justified and necessary. Thus the devil basically demanded that God “share the wealth,” but which which she was not fit for.
The whole premise of the title is wrong....
Liberals don't go "insane" when their voting class of "victims" are exposed for the frauds they are...
Liberals know the double standard they live under so they only get upset "insane" when they detect conservative hypocritical behavior like poor white people in Mississippi who receive government largess and then proclaim to dislike governemnt...
Poor Blacks in NYC living off the taxpayer is perfectly acceptable because they vote correctly....democrat
Bill is a walking talking stereotype of liberalism’s self annointed “smart” person. He just oozes with elitist superiority; puts the Klan to shame.
I have lived all over this country. I can honestly say that the only time I felt like I was in a foreign nation was when we landed in the North East. I think I laughed non-stop for a month. The responses in normal conversation and interaction was so different.
One of my sons was six and he asked me, “why don’t people talk to each other here?” He meant when people are in lines or doing business, they don’t talk to each other and they don’t smile, either. I told him that people are just different in different places. Then a few months later he says “They did not learn to talk and smile to each other because it is so cold and they are always racing around to get inside!”
So the baby grew up in that enviornment and was three when I took him to the beach in NC. All the ladies in the stores went nuts over him; he was a cute one. He had a few freckles on his nose and loose curls of strawberry blond hair. He says “Why are all these strangers talkin’ to me?”
But YOU are NOT help them get teeth...you not reaching in YOUR OWN pocket...your reaching is someone else pocket...then taking credit for it
...
Is the difference between love or sex vs rape .....
If someone wanted to be with with someone else..to give there self to someone... that can be love or even sex...but it the free will act of two consenting adults
But you holding a third person down for someone else ...its not love its not sex... its rape

Straw man. Welfare recipients receive much more than just food stamps--free food for life. They also get lots of other goodies not available to taxpayers:
Free housing for life.
Free medical care for life.
Earned income credit.
Free babysitting, i.e., government schools.
For now, I'd rather stay friends. LOL! Plus, she has always had a good job and has raised a wonderful family of employed adults. (Otherwise, I probably couldn't be so friendly.)
This is my frustration with such folks. Regardless of their own accomplishments, they always seem to identify with the lowest common denominator based on color. I don't get it. Every time a white criminal is blasted across the media, I don't feel any obligation whatsoever to identify with him or her.
