Elitist Bill Maher Trashes 'Hate'-Filled Conservatives as 'A**holes You Can't Stand'
2019-11-18
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] Real Time host Bill Maher concluded his satirical segment "New Rules" on Friday by advising his audience to "just celebrate Thanksgiving, don’t try to win it." At first glance, his closing monologue might have seemed like words of wisdom for those who "see politics so differently from people who share your very blood." But it quickly turned into a rant against "hate"-filled "rubes" and "Bible thumpers," in other words, conservatives.

After unveiling his tip, Maher proceeded to advise his viewers to "never forget the single shining truth about democracy: it means sharing a country with assholes you can’t stand." Maher made it perfectly clear that he was talking about conservatives.

According to Maher, "we have to accept something about people: half of them have their taste in their ass." He continued to mock and stereotype conservatives: "they eat sweet potatoes with marshmallows, they wear matching family outfits, and put nuts on their truck."

Nothing seemed to upset Maher more about conservatives than their support for President Trump. As a picture of the President supposedly mocking a disabled news hound appeared in the background, Maher expressed his bewilderment that "46 percent of the country wanted that guy picking the Supreme Court." Eventually, Maher informed the audience that despite their intense dislike for those on the other side of the aisle, "we’re stuck with them and they’re stuck with us."

It's beyond strange for Bill Maher to disdain knocking your opponents with harsh words, as he demonstrated.

Trump rallies are filled with words like "enemies of the people," "human scum." They talk of people to be locked up. Well, you can’t lock all us up. Liberals are described as weak, lame, coddling, oversensitive, and limp-dicked.

Which are strong words for a bunch of mouth-breathers, shit-kickers, knuckle-draggers, Bible -thumpers, sister-fuckers and rubes.

The cheers and applause that followed made Maher’s point. That kind of insult is rewarded. And it’s made Maher very rich for doing it over and over and over again.

#13  “Pay attention to meeeeee!!”

The self-proclaimed libertarian, which he isn’t, periodically has outbursts like this, possibly a sort of Tourette syndrome. Past outbursts got his Politically Correct show banished from ABC; since then his show has lived in an obscure corner of HBO.

But he frequently interviews conservatives on his show — always has — and that is probably the only exposure those on his side of the aisle get to hear people like Ben Shapiro and Milo Yiannopoulos unfiltered.

#12  Who is this guy and what network is he on?? Never mind, I don't know or really care. And while I don't hang stuff off my hitch, I do love my truck, and country, and bible, and thanksgiving.

#9  Just remember those words Bill, when the hot war kicks off and you have no food, water or electricity in your mansion because all those things are in those "Hate filled Asshole" areas.

Die alone, of hunger, in the dark.

#6  Shutting down the feed-back loop. When everything is falling apart and people are dying in the civil war, "Can we talk about this" ain't going to happen.

#2  Bill Maher does not have any views of his own. He's a simple-minded whore with a sense for what the political masters want. I guess that passes for 'elitist' now, the elite being Dems.

Such a way with words. How can this witless moron ibe considered an elitist when he can't come up with more intelligent insults than an illiterate 13 year-old?
