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.

That is not the point bill maher (a real world class slimeball) is trying to make. In fact, if you point holds water at all, maher is at least partly responsible for that.

But really for him it’s all for yucks, don’t you know?

Liberals are not even developed to the level of adolescence. However, they are retarded.

Of course that goes without saying that Maher is nauseating, but these morons who laugh with him aren’t any better either

Dr Marc Siegel one of the Medical team of Fox News.com participated like he did last year on the W100K Ride with the wounded warriors. He said the warriors still consider President Bush as their Commander in Chief

Thanks Kaslin.
Though he had no idea what it was... 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...
So, why'd the Wounded Warriors show up then, you miserable POS demagogue?

Thanks Kaslin. I wonder why? LMAO

It’s good to know they think of him that way.

I try not to think of the other guy in situations like this. It’s downright depressing.

Agreed, it's hard to believe anyone would laugh while listening to him rather than having dry heaves.......just how weird do you have to be to make up his audience?

Seeing or reading about combat veterans with or without limbs being honored throws a creep like Maher into a seething turmoil inside his gut because these vets are REAL MANLY MEN and he's a faggy, weak, butt-ugly, metro-feminine, cowardly, creepy little marxist worm....and he knows it.

It isn’t surprising to hear this from the rat-faced genetic disaster. Instead of the outrage he craves and feeds on, he deserves a big yawn.

Didn’t Ann Coulter used to go out with him (or is it another leftist POS I’m thinking of)?

There’s an entry in Mayer’s biography that is somehow forgotten even though it was fairly recent.

A comedy was filmed and released during Bill Clinton’s administration entitled ‘Bill Clinton’s Talking Penis.’

Bill Mayer furnished the voice-over for the title role.
