Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Bill Mahr is the text book example of this:
-
Why do people care if others believe in God,or go to Church?I couldnt care less,just leave me alone and let me live my life the way I want to.Maher is a really odd guy,he is consumed with what others think,believe and do.Why?Is his life so empty that he isnt happy unless he can spoil others lives?

George Will fucking destroyed him this past Sunday...fucking destroyed. Maher ought to stick to strippers and his band of light weight lefties on HBO's.

Much like Maher..ur a lightweight as well...what would u do without cut and paste...U can find the raw feed.
Anyone watching today’s installment of ABC’s morning news program This Week had to feel some measure of pity for out-spoken left wing elite Bill Maher making his first appearance on the show as a round table guest. The condescending comic left the warm cocoon of his Real Time studio (which he routinely packs with like-minded far-left guests and an obsequious studio audience one would think hand-picked by moveon.org) and made the horrific blunder of allowing his abject ignorance and ideological blindness to be systematically exposed by the dissecting and relentless cross-examinations of conservative thinker George Will. And on network television no less!
—–
The acerbic Maher is used to making outrageous and factually empty statements on his HBO talk-show and getting nothing but an approving nod from his guests and howls of affirmation from his unwashed peanut gallery in return. But when he made this claim: “I could criticize America in general for not attacking this problem [dependency on fossil fuels] in the Seventies. I mean, Brazil got off oil in the last thirty years we certainly could’ve,” he was woefully ill-prepared to be called out on it by the acutely observant Will who pressed him: “Bill, can you just explain to me in what sense Brazil ‘got off oil’?”
It was an uncomfortable moment of reality TV as Maher played the proverbial deer in headlights. “Uh…I believe they did. I believe they, in the Seventies they had a program to use sugar cane ethanol and I believe that is what fuels their country.” A Ralph Kramden “hamana-hamana” could not have betrayed less command of the issue. Will promptly reminded the comedian: “They still burn a lot of oil and have a lot of it off-shore.”
In case Maher needs some help, EIA statistics show that Brazil produces 2.4 million barrels of oil per day and consumes roughly 2.52mm bpd–ranking it #8 on the list of oil consuming nations. It is true that they may soon be a net oil exporter…but this because their production capacity has steadily increased as new fields are tapped while consumption has remained steady, not because they are “off oil.” In fact, the largest oil discoveries in recent years have come from Brazil’s off-shore, pre-salt basins in which Brazil’s state oil company Petrobras is investing $220 billion to explore. Off-shore exploration rights have also been sold this year to BP for $7 billion. That’s a far cry from “off oil” eh Bill? But why let reality and data stand in the way of a good liberal rant? And what was Maher’s final defense in this case? “I want to make sure I read that, I know I didn’t just dream that.” (Try to imagine if Andrew Breitbart said that when making a conservative argument on Maher’s show. One can hear the scoffing hoots from the crowd.)
The beads of sweat must have been popping on his high forehead as Maher’s public skewering at the hands of Will painfully continued when the topic turned to Arizona’s new immigration law. First when asked by moderator Jake Tapper what he would suggest Arizona citizens do Maher replied: “Well I would hope that the Constitution of the country is a little more important to them.” George Will swooped in: “What Constitutional provision does this violate?” Maher again stammered: “I mean nobody has been able to articulate a scenario where the police are sopping people for any other reason than they are Mexican and poor.” In short, Maher really couldn’t say so he whipped out a John Edwards handbook.
Still, the battered Maher valiantly pressed on despite by now clearly having demonstrated he had no place in this forum. Apparently again thinking he was on Real Time where his far-left screeds go unchallenged, he went on to offer up this hateful gem: “Government intrusion, you know, government power’s something that really bothers conservatives unless it’s directed towards people who aren’t white, you know…” Enter Mr. Will again: “Mr. Maher just said, if I heard him right, that conservatives basically are racists and only like government intrusion against people who are not white. That’s their level of argument?” Far-left doyenne Katrina vanden Heuvel rushed to his defense: “I didn’t hear that.” Really? Then what did you hear?
Bill tries to moonwalk his words back a space: “I would never say…that all Republicans are racist. But nowadays if you are racist, you’re probably a Republican.” That is quite an indictment from a man who lives in a 6000-square-foot beverly Hills home on a 2.5-acre gated compound, safely ensconced in a neighborhood that is 83% white and a whopping 1.7% black.
By the time he tried to change his tune, the damage of Maher’s hate-speechifying was already done and his credentials as a bona fide far-left loon with no command of the facts were firmly established for all to see. One gets the feeling that Maher himself is just smart enough to paradoxically understand how much of a fool he looked at the hands of Will–who in turn actually appeared to be enjoying helping Maher self-destruct.
So thank you Bill Maher for exposing yourself on a national stage as the ideologically pompous but intellectually vacant pontificator you are. It must have been a gut-wrenching moment when you were actually challenged to back up your outlandish assertions and accusations against the right you make so freely on HBO. George Will showed that, though you may be a star in the far-left sky, you are not even ready for the minor leagues of informed (key word) political discourse…let alone “the show.” Your rants against conservative ‘ignorance’ have been revealed today for what they are: the pot calling the tea kettle black! And one thing is for sure. George Will’s beloved Chicago Cubs have a better shot at winning the World Series than he does of ever being invited to appear as a panelist on Real Time.

Whats amazing are people like yourself who think scumbags like Mahr do anything but mock you in private.

lol. Maher is a retard. lol. Completely out of his league.
-
Mahr is bad, but the dolts and fools who follow him are far worse.
-
Complete and relentless stupidity. I suppose that anyone who knows what they are talking about and can back it up with factual information is a racist or conservative. Either one.
-
what i know about islam i know thru my parents....
and they seem like buddhists.....one day i will learn arabic and desipher<sp?> this shit for myself >:(
-
Its always funny hearing the left decry racism behind their gated communities where the only minorities are either cutting lawns or cleaning houses.
-
I don't see how that's racist actually... Are you saying that moving into a nice area because he has money is racist?
-
No dumbass. It's hypocritical to call the rest of the population racist because they don't agree with your politics when there isn't a minority within 50 miles of where you live.
It's like when an extraordinarily wealthy person who has no Mexican friends or neighbors and who lives in a million dollar gated community attacks Arizona for attempting to crack down on illegal immigration.
It's easy to make ass backward judgements when you are detached from reality by virtue of your wealth and live in a fantasy world.
-
So I'm a dumbass because I don't see it as racist... You see it as hypocritical that a person with money doesn't live in the ghetto though.
Right... I get it.
-
No, you're just a dumbass because you are incapable of understanding an incredibly simple concept.
I'll make my example even more simplistic since my point seems to have gone completely over your head. Anybody can live anywhere. However, if you live in a place that is disconnected with reality, you have no right to judge those who are connected with reality. Being disconnected kills your credibility when you make statements about things that you know nothing about and are ill equipped to understand.
Get it?
-
I would, except I don't think it's fair to say that about Bill Maher considering he grew up very average and catholic... Only after he became very successful did he have the money to move into a place like that.
I'd say coming from an average background allows you to do that.
You are very quick to call people dumbass when you don't know much about them... Enjoy your judgment.

Ok,then I grew up average as well and live in a mixed neighborhood,so if I come on here and give my opinions of blacks or hispannics and they are racist in YOUR opinion, its ok because Ive lived with and around minorities?Right?

Is it just me, ...or is anyone else getting the following message in response to attempts to view the YouTube video TA embedded?
"The video you have requested is not available.
If you have recently uploaded this video, you msy need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

Ok, what does Maher growing up Catholic have to do with anything that has been discussed in this thread? I also question his "very average" upbringing and what that has to do with the judgements he makes now when he does not live a "very average" life (whatever that means). Lastly, what does me calling you a dumbass because of your inability to comprehend something have to do with Bill Mahr?

Maher is a comedian, nothing more. Anyone who thinks he's some type of "deep thinker" is delusional.
Maher vs Will in this setting was the battle of Little Big Horn II.

I'm not the one who said they were racist... I'm saying that Bill also was not being racist by living in a primarily white neighborhood. That's just where he lives and does not equate to racism nor necessarily hypocrisy.

Not much of anything, but generally the fact that people think he's all jewish and crap and it always comes up... it doesn't really mean much in this thread, it was just an addition.
His judgments are just that... his. I'm not the one who said his judgments were invalidated by him living in a primarily white neighborhood... I also didn't say his judgments were correct... Just showing you where your judgment of him being some "rich white guy" are predisposed by the notion that he doesn't know what it's like to be average or that he's out of touch with the normal person.
You calling me a dumbass doesn't really have much to do with anything and just shows how much anger you have at someone who's done nothing to you, but may not agree with all of your positions... It's more of a reflection of you.

Regarding your last sentence- did someone teach you that in hug therapy class or a self help seminar or something? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO Get a grip dumbass. You just admitted that your counterpoint to my point had nothing to do with this thread or anything I wrote. Brutal self owning and irrelevancy. I never said that he was a rich white guy. What I said was that someone who lives their life outside of the trenches doesn't know or understand what the rest of us are going through. It's the same limosine liberal illness that all far left celebutards suffer from.

Exactly. At least Stewart doesn't take himself seriously. Maher thinking he's going to sit there and debate one of the greatest political thinkers in the country is comedic itself. Maybe it was all part of his routine.

Actually I said one thing in my response was not relevant... The fact he was catholic.
Again, he is not outside the trenches... He worked himself up FROM the trenches... That means he does know what real people go through and has overcome the obstacles that you are saying that others can not.
You are just so stuck on the fact he's liberal that you can't think clearly about how he might actually have some idea about what the average joe is talking about.
Are you one of those angry white guys who is worried that his power base is being eroded by those crazy liberals?
You just sound so angry over nothing.

Bill Maher is an entertainer along with the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Mike Malloy. He also happens to be good friends with the Wicked Witch of the Right, Ann Coulter. I'd bet a pretty penny that over half of these people's audiences absolutely despise them and scream at the TV or radio frothing at the mouth in fits of rage. Howard Stern himself has stated that half his listening audience hate his guts.....but they tune in anyways.
As for which political party can claim the title of being the more racist of the two, Democrats can lay claim to that title, both historically and in the present. Leftist loons thrive by keeping minorities in the dirt and in prisons so they can have solid voting bases. Dependency, promises of "social justice", protection from the ever-present racist white man, and other false promises are all nothing more than racism and supremacism at their very core. By keeping various minorities in the dirt, shakedown artists like Jesse Jackson, Reverand Al, the NAACP, and La Raza can stay in power, influence politics, and maintain constant presence in major media outlets. When equality is attained, these entities are no longer needed......as long as they can help it, it isn't happening.
I'd say many programs put forth by well-intentioned Liberals(and sometimes definately not) and other politicians such as affirmative action, race-based grants and scholarships, and other forms of social welfare programs have damaged in particular the black community moreso than Jim Crow ever did. While those days of overt and blatant racism were seen everywhere, black communities consisted primarily of nuclear and extended families living together and being an actual community. Today, blacks fill prisons, walk the streets at 3 in the morning, kill each other off in droves, have children out of wedlock, come primarily from broken families, and participate in slews of drug and violent crimes.

How is someone living in the trenches when they are millionares who reside in Beverly Hills? If 30 years ago he was "average" how is that relevant to opinions he makes today on things he is utterly clueless on? If I started off poor, but won the lottery and quit my job and had my own butler for 30 years, how could I possibly make accurate judgements on how normal people live?
The fact that he is liberal only adds credence to my argument because he makes outrageous comments from his ivory tower with tons of assumptions about how the other half lives. His commentary is a mishmash of partisan talking points that are heavy on twisted rhetoric and self congratulating sarcasm designed to inflate himself as a self important gasbag in front of his equally mindless audience. His most recent moronic remark (aside from the head slapping stupidity he displayed with George Will regarding politics) that "all racists are conservative etc." is not only evidence that he is out of touch with average people, but that he is out of touch with reality in general.
I'm not angry at Bill Mahr. He is a clown. I don't think that he is a serious threat to anyones base, especially not mine. I think that you are attempting to deflect the fact that you have no coherent argument to make by calling me angry because I referred to you as a dumbass.
