Bill Maher: Divorced from any semblance of respectability.

[italianquaker]

Is this al franken lol

[massgopguy]

The Tea Partys were a combination of punches to your political head

[US Navy Vet]

Bill Maher is depriving a village of an idiot.

[Sybeck1]

Love it when they tell us what we must do to win.

[domenad]

WOW! You know I was just thinking "I need someone with real intelligence and understanding to tell me how it is," and suddenly Bill Maher showed up! Thank heavens!

Shove it sideways Bill, you woman-beater.

[Chi-townChief]

“It’s been a week now, and I still don’t know what those “tea bag” protests were about.”

Well then, you must be pretty damn stupid, Bill - maybe you are as dumb as you look.

[tatsinfla]

i have news for this idiot. i run into more obama voters daily that are sorry they voted for this man. they having very quickly learned that the check is not in the mail and it isn’t going to be. they are seeing more jobs lost...more pay cut and fewer low paying jobs on the market because employers now they can get away with it....they see their grocery and energy bills going up...gas has gone up despite oil prices remaining somewhat steady and all the while for the working man and woman what did they get...??...approx 9.00 a week in their paycheck. so if you have no clue as to what the teaparty’s are all about....stay tuned....

It's been a week now, and I still don't know what those "tea bag" protests were about. I saw signs protesting abortion, illegal immigrants, the bank bailout and that gay guy who's going to win "American Idol."

It takes a left-wing protest to see a truly breath taking variety of causes and complaints.

[wk4bush2004]

NO, it’s the L.A. Times that is divorced from reality, that refuses to accept the truth.

What would they define as a “healthy party”??? Perhaps one that supports abortion, flinging open the border, granting citizenship for the illegals, promotes gay marriage and kowtows to Obama and the socialists?

Nope, we don’t wanna be the “DemocratLite” Party!

We ARE the opposition, we ARE upset, and we WILL take back our country!

ENOUGH OF THE RINOS!!!
ENOUGH OF “REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE”!!!!
ENOUGH OF COMPROMISING OUR PRINCIPLES!!!!!

It’s time for REAL change, REAL conservatism and REAL leadership!

We conservatives haven’t lost our minds, on the contrary, we are thinking CLEARER than we ever have been before!

WE DECLARE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY = CONSERVATISM and that the RINOs can all GET OUT!!!!! TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE!!!!

WHO’S WITH ME?????

[Retired Greyhound]

Sadly, he is right about one thing: belief in limited gov. and personal responsibility IS a radical position these days.

[joethedrummer]

It’s all about winning and losing to them. They have NO concept of what this country means or what it was founded upon or what it takes to perpetuate it’s prosperity and good fortune.

Who’s divorced from reality, Bill???

[Brett66]

LOL! And why would any of us listen to a thing he has to say?

[gorilla_warrior]

Looks like Maher wants Rahm Emanuel’s job as TOPOTUS (Tea Bagger of the Pres of the US)

[Pilated]

Cling to your hookers and drugs Mr. Maher, you are a nothing in the world of something.

[b4its2late]

Hey Bill, I got something for ya:

[PreciousLiberty]

‘It’s been a week now, and I still don’t know what those “tea bag” protests were about.’

First off, Billy boy, they were “tea party” protests. I know you have a fixation with “teabagging” but it’s not shared by everyone.

Second, they were about many things, but the main theme was unsustainable government spending. If you’d taken all of five seconds to look into it you’d have known that. There is also plenty of concern about other anti-freedom, anti-defense, and pro-socialism (or worse) initiatives being pursued by 0bama and his corrupt cronies.

I just hope for your sake you’re prepared for the results in 2010 and 2012!

[dforest]

A whole week and this dope still can’t figure the tea parties out.

The man is a really stupid moron.

And here's the list of Republican obsessions since President Obama took office: that his birth certificate is supposedly fake, he uses a teleprompter too much, he bowed to a Saudi guy, Europeans like him, he gives inappropriate gifts, his wife shamelessly flaunts her upper arms, and he shook hands with Hugo Chavez and slipped him the nuclear launch codes.

Do these sound like the concerns of a healthy, vibrant political party?

Since the media doesn't cover conservative philosophy in-depth, we sometimes have to settle for symbols and sound bites.

If Maher wrote this column in 1993, he might have listed "deducting used underwear on taxes, dismissing travel office staff, the first lady's unlikely good luck in cattle futures investing, and various bimbo eruptions." In 1994 the Republicans won both houses of Congress.

The things Maher lists are a short-hand for deep, important problems. He did leave out mortgaging our children's future for green government buildings. But substitute spending $800,000 to avoid showing his birth certificate while claiming transparency, inability to not make a gaffe when NOT using the teleprompter, hiring a staff that does not instruct him on protocol, and we have hints of what else might be happening that we don't see.

As evil and as deceitful as Bill Maher is, he may have a partial point here.
