Maher: GOP is the 'Party of the Apes'
Politico ^ | June 19, 2012 | By William Bergstrom

Posted on 06/19/2012 9:34:31 PM PDT by Schatze

Bill Maher on Monday called the GOP the “Party of the Apes” and ripped Republicans for not repudiating Rep. Allen West — who, the comedian suggested, should be taken to a mental hospital.

“[T]he idea that the blame for our government’s dysfunction is equally shared by the parties just is a giant, steaming mound of horsesh*t and anyone who has paid attention to politics over the last 20 years knows it. Or as I like to call it, ‘The Rise of the Party of the Apes,’” the host of HBO’s “Real Time” wrote on his blog.

Maher singled out two politicians as extremists: West and Richard Mourdock, the Republican nominee for Senate who defeated longtime Sen. Dick Lugar in a primary last month.

“[T]ake Allen West. Seriously, take him to the padded cell and give him 20 CCs of the high test,” Maher wrote, noting West’s remark that some 80 House Democrats are Communists. “And not one Republican said, ‘Allen, come on. You’re making us look dumb.’ Not one of the Republican candidates for president said anything. Because in today’s Republican Party, that’s not even edgy anymore. They probably saw him later on and were like, ‘Word, Allen. Word.’ Because that’s how they think black people talk.”

As for the Tea Party–backed Mourdock, who said last month, “I certainly think bipartisanship ought to consist of Democrats coming to the Republican point of view,” Maher equated it with a relationship in which only one partner receives oral sex.

Truth hurts the worst eh Maher?

That commie label just seems to stick so well. I love the smell of desperation in the morning as this dinosaur trudges through the tar fields screaming at the mammals.

Pray for America

Wow, had not looked at his gruesomeness for several years.

Talk about falling apart with age!

Another five years old Billy will be to hideous for TV to allow on the air.
Probably utterly senile too, so I suppose they will make him network president. ;-}

At least no secular evolutionist ought to be caught dead not knowing about this dogma. (I disagree with it, but just sayin’.)

Did Maher have anything to say about Harry Reid calling the TEA party terrorists?

Demonizing the innocent and euthanizing the “undesirables” are hallmarks of the American left and the Third Reich.

Time and time again we see socialism fail. So, why would people like Bill keep advocating that system? I believe it's only lip service for the peons. It's all just to keep the little people watching their shows, buying their books and paying to see their movies. If they really believed what they say, they'd write a check to the IRS for more than they owe rather than paying accountants to lessen their taxes. They wouldn't have multiple mansions in several countries and fly private jets. The form of government they advocate only benefits those at the top. Themselves.
If, Obama is reelected, I'd like to give Bill what he and his friends have asked for. As the saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.” I would like to see the the Tea-party and 99% get together and push for a “Put your money where your mouth is tax”. This would only be on those who have backed Obama and/or called for the rich to pay higher taxes. I'm sure it would never pass, but just the sound of their squeal would prove their hypocrisy, and hopefully put an end to their bull$^!+.

I think maher is just making the observation that even apes have gotten fed up with comrade obama. Before it's all over he'll have even lost all his imaginary friends.

Pretty funny coming from a needy, potato-nosed, liver-lipped closet queen who's so desperately insecure that he has to tear down others just to try to make himself feel adequate. You know he's gay because there's only one way a no-talent schmuck like him gets a TV show, and that's by wearing out several sets of knee-pads.

If I ever met him in public, I'd either completely ignore him, or I'd hock up a big loogie and clam in his face.

LMAO!!!!

You *must* get over your shyness, Gargantua. Don’t hold your feelings in; they’ll just fester within you. ;D

Within the Title: “Party of the Apes”

Within first sentence: “Rep. Allen West”

Conclusion: This man is intentionally trying to get himself written about and in the news to promote himself and his show.
