Bill Maher: Voting for Republicans as Stupid as Voting Not Guilty for Casey Anthony

Bill Maher weighed in on the Casey Anthony verdict Friday night with a decidedly different take than most of the pundits this past week: He compared it to Republican thinking on economic issues.
If you can look at a crime where everything points to one answer and not see it, you’re a dumbass. And if you can look at the deficit and not see that the problem is that the rich stopped paying taxes, you’re a Republican.
And before you accuse me of equating the Casey Anthony verdict with Republican thinking, save your breath: I am…if you’re a working-class American who still votes Republican, then you don’t get to b*tch about that verdict.
Attacking Republican opposition to a higher corporate jet tax, Maher said:
Voting for them is as stupid as voting not guilty for the mom who lost her baby for a month and went looking at a wet T-shirt contest.

Posted on July 13, 2011 at 3:45pmObviously you are a “Republican” so I will explain it again. He is comparing anyone who votes Republican (against their own best interest of course) to be as stupid as the JURORS that did not convict Casey Anthony. Now go watch a little Glen Beck while you settle down. “you can’t fix stupid”.

Posted on July 13, 2011 at 3:56pmFunny you should ask Eramthgin. The answer is……..drum roll please……Voting Republican when you are not in the group that they intend to help. The only way the they can win elections and promote their agenda of crushing the middle class, keeping and lowering taxes on the ultra wealthy, while making YOU work harder longer hours to earn less money, is to scare the crap out of 48% of the people and get them to vote against their own interests. The scarey part is..it works, thanks to you. Good work my friend! Help the the crooks into the getaway car with your own money. “you can’t fix stupid”

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 2:14pmNo HBO for me.
And so far as this Maher goes, this clown gets more bizarre the older he gets.
The most striking thing about radical liberals is that they NEVER say anything in opposition to beliefs from the right.
Just like this bozo, they just issue insults and say how bad conservatives are, but no rebuttals to anything.
They’re the non-intellects of the 21st century who so badly want to be thought of as intelligent. It is as the shrink says who wrote the book analyzing liberals and who concluded that liberalism is a mental abberration, based in illogical premises.
That explains it best.

Is delusional thinking funny? Are they laughing with him or at him or are they afraid to look uncool by not laughing? I don’t get this guys appeal at all.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 12:32pmThe “rich” ******** like Maher who constantly spout off about “the rich” needing to pay more taxes should simply send in all their money to the IRS above $250k or whatever. Put your money where your mouth is Maher. Better yet, cut the fat greedy middle man govt out and give charity a try. Let the ******** redistribute their own wealth to the thankless, lazy, victims who won’t do for themselves. Leave the private sector job and wealth creators alone. Since you got the lazi-a$$es covered, how bout you let us cut welfare, send all illegal aliens to their home countries, reduce unemployment to 12 weeks, remove minimum wage levels, end food stamps, etc. We’d see a tremendous growth not only in employment but church attendance in this country. Tough love is still love.

Posted on July 13, 2011 at 4:04pmOddly enough, people won’t pay more than you ask them too. They will (normally) pay what they have to pay. If tax breaks create jobs, where are they and why is it when Kennedy was in office, the corporate tax rate was over 75% and we enjoyed an awesome economy, next to no unemployment and highest growth in 100 years, The National debt was almost zero, As soon as Regan cut it 30% the the debt started to rise, now the tax rate is the lowest in history and debt is the highest. I does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Come on…smell the coffee guys.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 12:23pmThe rich “stopped paying taxes”? The top 20% pay 80% of all taxes. This is the most conservative estimate I could find. This highest estimate I found was the top 3% pay almost 97% of all taxes. A simple google will show that the statement, “rich STOPPED paying taxes” as incorrect.

And now comedians like Bill Maher and Barak Obama are saying Republicans are responsible for that!!!

Definition
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they‘re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Pretty much describes the entire Democratic party.

He see’s everything in black and white at a bumper sticker political level, and if you don‘t agree with him it’s simple; you’re stupid. He’s quick witted and can make a joke out of anything, but he’s intellectually shallow. He won‘t let anyone under his skin because he’s afraid they will find there’s nothing there.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 12:57pmUnfortunately people that don’t read, pay attention to the news, follow politics or world events listen to him and Jon Stuart because they’re funny and entertaining. Consequently they end up sharing their political ideology because they have to, or they wouldn’t be able the laugh along. These same people don‘t bother to check the facts because if these entertainers can make things funny then they can’t be wrong so it’s more cool just to follow their ideology.
