Bill Maher: Obama Had to Lie to ‘Stupider’ Americans
Truth Revolt ^

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 oppositionand 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 its 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, Mahers explained he believes the decline is a result of Americans getting stupider. In Mahers universe, this stupider population must be misled by politicians for its own good:
It sure is hard if youre a politiciannot that Im really that sympathetic to themto try to get information into peoples heads.
I dont think Obama shouldve 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 shouldve 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 its a law, theyre 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 mightve 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.

There it is again - the truth. If Liberals were honest about their plans, they'd be run out of town on a rail.

They are from the same base ideology. See Gen 3:3 for the source of that base.

In Mahers universe, this stupider population must be misled by politicians for its own good He means for the good of the politicians, not the good of the stupider population.
There is no sympathy for the "stupider" people. They are just pawns to be manipulated for the aggrandizement of the elite.

I mean the thing passed by this much. If they had said that, they mightve lost the whole thing.So Maher is saying that no matter how objectionable, un-constitutional, illegal, disgusting or flawed the ACA is...it simply HAD to be passed for no other reason than Republicans hated it and wanted to kill it at birth?
Effin brilliant.

My libral SIL said to me not long ago, “some people deserve to be lied to.”
I don’t know how someone can say something like that and still claim the politcal, moral highground for themselves.

If insurance companies were ALWAYS dropping people, they wouldn’t have any subscribers left and would go out of business. Mahr is the stupider one.

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.

Why lie to stupid people? They couldn’t tell the truth from a lie anyway.

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.

In other words Bill, he lied to YOU. People on the right knew all along that this was going to be a disaster.
He lied to you and let him lie to you....and you have no problem with it. That makes you the stupiest fool in the room.
