Maher Calls Bike Ride with Wounded Warriors ‘Nauseating,’ Compares Bush to Cleveland Kidnaper

Though he had no idea what it was, the annual “Bush Center Warrior 100K” mountain bike ride, which took place over the Memorial Day weekend, upset Bill Maher. “I guess they walked or ran or something on their prosthetic limbs,” Maher sneered about George W. Bush’s ride around his Texas ranch with 20 servicemen, “and I found this to be nauseating. I mean, first he sends them off to war to get their limbs blown off and then he has them over for a barbecue.”

Maher then equated the former President with Ariel Castro, the kidnaper who held captive multiple women for a decade and murdered their un-born babies: “This is like the Cleveland guy having a pizza party for those girls he had in his basement.”

Maher Calls Bike Ride with Wounded Warriors 'Nauseating,' Compares Bush to Cleveland Kidnaper

That was too much even for panelist Neera Tandem, an architect of ObamaCare who now runs the left-wing Center for American Progress. She interjected: “Maybe that’s a little much.”

But it wasn’t too much for actress Brit Marling, who insisted: “I think you can go even farther. I think it’s sort of sadistic.”

It’s a safe bet most wounded soldiers would rather take a bike ride with Bush than Maher or Marling.

From the May 31 Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO:

BILL MAHER: George Bush, over the Memorial Day weekend, held the Wounded Warrior 100K, which was a kind of a celebration for wounded warrior who is came back from Iraq and I guess they walked or ran or something on their prosthetic limbs. And I found this to be nauseating. I mean, first he sends them off to war to get their limbs blown off and then he has them over for a barbecue. This is like the Cleveland guy having a pizza party for those girls he had in his basement.

NEERA TANDEN: Maybe that’s a little much.

ACTRESS BRIT MARLING: I think you can go even farther. I think it’s sort of sadistic. It’s very tragic when something like that happens and the idea that like these amputees, the technology that is allowing them to do these things is somehow something to celebrate. People shouldn’t be over there losing limbs in the first place.

And Obie's bike damn sure ain't going where GWB and the warrior's bikes did.

Maybe the side by side visual is what Maher is afraid of...

I think Maher needs to give another million dollars, maybe it will put him in a better mood.

Go f yourself Bill. Or better yet go take a long walk off of a short pier.

A boycott of HBO makes sense to me ... Not one dime more for the sadistic SOB’s associating with HBO

Self reliance (actually God reliance, but the kind that works, rather than just sitting around vaguely hoping God might send something their way) and courage really mess with Maher’s socialistic views.

Wonder what they would say about the Nuge taking wounded warriors shooting autofire weapons down at his ranch near Waco?

As for Brit Marling, you seriously have to wonder if during the interview process to select an actress, if they don’t test them and eliminate anyone with more than a 105 IQ. 105? From what she says here, I’m tempted to lower that a bit.

It upsets her and Maher, that men could volunteer, be dedicated to their duty, sacrifice for our nation, and still love it and the man who sent them to do a job for us.

I am not a big fan of Bush, but when it comes to following through with what he thought his duty was, he implemented his policy and followed through.

I do respect that.

I find these men to be champions. What a great group.

Glad he has gotten over his hatred of Bush. What a Marroon!

Wonder why the Wounded Warriors in mass didn’t “Beat” Maher out of their presence.

I guess this nitwit would prefer they crawl around for the rest of their lives muttering "Bush's fault".

A little after 9/11 and after I had re-enlisted after an 18 year gap in service... I got sent TDY to No Hope Pope for a backfill position. AF side has crap, so you have to go to Bragg to get anything good.

I was at the PX at Bragg, waiting in line for pizza, reading my book, head down, and I noticed the guys behind me were sorta rank. Like just finished with a run stink.

Turned around and looked at them.

One was left leg below the knee amputee. The other was right leg above the knee amputee. They were in PT gear. Waiting in line for pizza.

I gave them my spot in line and paid for their pizza.

I heard that one of them later requalified for jump status. I don't know that for a fact.

I find Maher nauseating.

I used to work in NYC about 3 months per year; a week at a time. I would stay in a Midtown hotel and occasionally Maher would come into the bar at the hotel. I got to know the bartender very well. He was a good guy, but a typical NYC liberal union type of guy. Even though the bartender had liberal tendencies he couldn't stand morally corrupt people. The bartender knew tons of people and would introduce me to them. I met Ollie North, pro wrestlers, football players and so on.

The word from the bartender was that Maher couldn't get a date so he paid for his dates. He had a reputation of not being able to perform with his paid prostitutes. There was an entire rumor mill amongst the working women in Midtown to expect to be paid but don't expect a performance or a tip from Maher.

Maher is a revolting, vile, worthless, sorry-excuse for a man.

What pisses you off Maher? That Bush honors those that served this Nation or that those that served this nation respect him?
Probably both since you lack honor and no one respects you.
