Bill Maher: Obama Had to Lie to ‘Stupider’ Americans

On Piers Morgan Live Tuesday, guest Bill Maher openly admitted Obama “lied” about Americans keeping their insurance plans, but insisted that he had to because of unified Republican opposition—and the increasingly “stupider” American public.

Morgan trotted Maher on for a number of political issues, including the Obamacare meltdown and the most recent episode in the NSA scandal saga. Morgan opened by asking Maher if the scandal-failure-filled week was “any worse than it’s always been?” Maher said, in essence, yes:

Well, I think the country in general is on a decline.

Rather than citing the failure of the administration though, Maher’s explained he believes the decline is a result of Americans getting “stupider.” In Maher’s universe, this “stupider” population must be misled by politicians for its own good:

It sure is hard if you’re a politician—not that I’m really that sympathetic to them—to try to get information into people’s heads.
I don’t think Obama should’ve lied to people-

To which Morgan interjected, “It was a lie, wasn't it?” But Maher continued, quickly parroting the “insurance companies are always dropping people” talking point, then returning to his original argument:

But, yeah, he probably should’ve not been so blatant about saying you ... iron clad guarantee. On the other hand, since he got no Republican votes and no Republican help. And since three years after it’s a law, they’re still fighting it, can you imagine what it would be like if he said, “Yeah, some people, your rates are going to go up.” I mean the thing passed by this much. If they had said that, they might’ve lost the whole thing.

So, yeah, Obama lied, but the “stupider” Americans deserve to be lied to. Standard elitist governing tactics: manipulate and deceive in order to force onto the public what you know is best for them.

democrat socializts.

we must lie to you to get you to do what WE want.

we must force you to participate in our plans to get you to do what WE want.

the end justifies the means because you’re too stupid to do what WE believe is right.

ultimately socialism hates people. takes away freedom, restricts choice, then removes it entirely, lies to you, tells you you’re too stupid, and under obamacare death panels, will tell you you’re too stupid to live.

God loves people, treats them as people, gives them ability to make choices, even bad ones, wishes they would make good choices, rejoices when they accept Him as Lord and Savior, but respects people enough to make their own personal decisions in whatever capacity they can. He hates the bad that they do and often reduces the impact of their poor and/or evil choices. still lets them be people.

Maher says that Obama was justified in lying because had he told the truth he might not have been able to shove the whole thing down the throats of stupid Americans. It was okay to lie because if he had not lied we would have known the truth even though we are stupid.

Only a rant by Jackie Mason could do justice to Maher’s insanity. Sadly I lack the talent to do a proper job.

“How does someone as stupid as Maher know when someone is stupider than him?”

Maybe the same way this man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv_WJYckpPQ knows when he meets someone taller, the thing about it though is that it has never happened yet and possibly never will.
