Maher Strikes Again: Americans 'Not Bright Enough to Really Understand the Issues'
Newsbusters ^ | February 17, 2010 | Jeff Poor

Either Bill Maher was doing his best effort to impersonate Mel Brooks as King Louis XVI in "History in the World, Part I" or he has a complete and utter disregard for the intellectual competency of the American people.

Maher, a perennial bomb thrower with a hard left ideology appeared on CNN's Feb. 16 "Larry King Live," facing the king of softball interviews, Larry King, and let it be known he thought alleged terrorism plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed should be tried in New York City and that health care should be forced through by the Obama administration, despite the wishes of the American people.

And why should the American people's wishes be ignored? They're "not bright enough."

"But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don't really care what position you take, just stick with one," Maher said. "Just be strong. They're not bright enough to really understand the issues. But like an animal, they can sort of sense strength or weakness. They can smell it on you."

Americans 'Not Bright Enough to Really Understand the Issues'

There's a lot of truth to that statement. 70 million voted for the Usurper, that's your proof right there.

Bill might be on to something here, consider the evidence: they elected Obama.

I rest my case.

"We understand just how revolting they are..."

As an English major, Maher probably doesn’t understand monetary policy or much of anything else..

Most Americans are easily swayed by 10-second sound bites, or what their favorite celebrity idiot spews.

He's such a worthless piece of utter inanity, words fail me. Ol' has been Larry King must be having a hard time finding guests to have to have someone like this idiot on the set.

Isn't it funny too, how Superior he considers himself???

What a worthless piece, oh never mind . . . WHO cares about Maher???

Exhibit A: A majority of the American people voted for Obama.

Exhibit B: Most of them regret it.

I’d say the American people wised up.

There's a difference between being bright enough and being educated or aware enough.

I don't think the majority of Americans are stupid; I think a majority of them are ignorant of some important principles and facts.

As I've said before: Once the Left took over education, the rest was just a matter of time.

THIS is why I'm positive that Governor Sarah Palin will win by a landslide.

NORMAL Americans, of all political parties, are sick & tired of what passes for "intelligentsia" in the USA, but actually is a bunch of narcissistic nickempoops who fail to realize that NOBODY else shares their high opinions of themselves, and that everybody is sick of this group of st00000pid riftraft referring to ordinary Americans as IGNORANT peasants.

Of course, Maher is whining about the half that didn't vote for Obama. In his boneheaded hatred of mainstream America, he accidentally mutters a half-truth.

The guy’s shows are failing...his act is failing...his comedy is failing. So sad to see someone try to cling to their dissolving fame. Bush leaving office has put Bill Maher, Green Day, Dixie Chicks, and Keith Olbermann out of business...HA HA HA!
