HBO's Maher: Americans Too 'Stupid' so President Should Force ObamaCare into Law
NewsBusters ^ | August 25, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 08/25/2009 10:27:42 AM PDT by Rufus2007

If smugness were a crime, they would put HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher under the jail.

On NBC's Aug. 24 "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien," Maher expressed his frustration with President Barack Obama's inability to get health care/health insurance reformed and passed into law.

"I think right now for example, this health care debate looks like it's - we could lose it because I don't think [Obama] he has been tough enough," Maher said. "You know, he used to say in the campaign, ‘It's your time.' This is his time. He should get mad, stop [expletive] around."

And how does a huge government-run health care system square with Maher’s supposedly ‘libertarian’ beliefs?

Maher QUICKLY lost the partisan Hollywood crowd with his arrogant smugness. Conan handled him quite well pointing out that Obama said he’d try to get agreement from both sides on the campaign trail, but Maher would hear none of it. Between attacking the american people for what they eat, he called republicans “crazy civil war reenactors” and spent a good three minutes attacking birthers, as if they were interchangeable with all republicans. He showed what a humorless, talentless jerk he actually is when Nick Cannon came on and offered him liquorice because he thought it would be funny after Maher’s rant on how bad “most americans” eating habits were. Maher didn’t crack a smile at the funny offer and said “liquorice is shit.”
This smallminded, arrogant man needs to be reminded that he’s not a politician or a great thinker... he’s the star of “Amazon Piranha Women of the Avocado Jungle.” That’s literally all he is.

He suggested Obama employ Mafia-like tactics straight from "The Godfather"

in this country we have those pesky things called rights which forbid the initiation of force or threat of force against innocent individuals. But who cares about that if you are a libtard

Maher is an idiot...he consistently calls himself a Libertarian when in fact he is a rabid leftist.

I turned his show on the other night long enough to hear Ashton Kutcher proclaim he was for Obamacare and that he would characterize himself as a financial conservative and a social liberal.

What an ass...

He better repent, or he will go to a place where no one laughs, for all eternity. And I hope it does not happen to him.

I actually wish more leftists would be this “honest” and declare “the masses” too stupid

and declare the need for the elites to force their superior goals on them.

This is what they think, and what they’d like to do,
and if they were honest about it, they’ll be honestly
defeated. To defeat the left, expose the left, or get
them to expose themselves.

I would love to see a debate between fake liberal-tarian Bill Maher and a real Libertarian Penn Jillette.

Maher is an idiot...he consistently calls himself a Libertarian when in fact he is a rabid leftist.

Since it is highly doubtful he would call himself a libertarian for any deceptive purpose (why would he think such a lie would benefit him?), the only other possible conclusion is that he has no idea what the term means. Which should tell you all you need to know about the quality and depth of his political opinions.

Maher is squeeling like a stuck pig. He must have some serious medical problems and is looking forward to that there “free” ObamaCare. Just a hint Maher: keep up your insurance payments, this thing ain’t over yet.

Libertarian in Maher’s case means moronic liberal...

But he's not even 'liberal' under the ridiculously distorted way that word is used in the United States now . What he's actually advocating for these days is a classic 'illiberal democracy'. The moronic part you have pegged 100% correctly, though.

He believes his marxist beliefs are libertarian.

That alone removes Maher from any meaningful political debate. A banana would have more constructive input.

I've always said that Maher isn't a libertarian. He's a pothead who pretends to be a libertarian so he can sound high-minded when he argues for drug legalization. Otherwise he's the statiest of statists.

To his comments. Most of those terrible ideas of GWB were popular when enacted (just not with Marr) and later became unpopular. So his analogy was wrong that Bush passed unpopular stuff. Iraq is a perfect example

Bill Maher may have been a Libertarian at one time, but his Bush Derangement Syndrome and adulation for Zero got the best of him.

He’s nothing more than a rabid leftist Obama-bot.
