Bill Maher: When Ugly People Say Ugly Things

Bill Maher's primary criticism of 9/12 attendees and Tea Party folk is they're fat.

New Rule: You can't complain about health care reform if you're not willing to reform your own health. Unlike most liberals, I'm glad all those teabaggers marched on Washington last week. Because judging from the photos, it's the first exercise they've gotten in years. Not counting, of course, all the Rascal scooters there, most of which aren't even for the disabled. They're just Americans who turned 60 and said, "Screw it, I'm done walking." These people are furious at the high cost of health care, so they blame illegals, who don't even get health care. News flash, Glenn Beck fans: the reason health care is so expensive is because you're all so unhealthy.

Along with many other fit and otherwise attractive folks, the boob must not have seen these boobs on TV. He certainly looks the picture of healthy and attractive above, does he not? Jaysus, I'm thinking Maher the Hideous set out to become famous because he realized it was the only prayer he had of ever getting laid. But I digress.

Below it seems as though he did have at least one other trick up his sleeve to accomplish it. But I'm thinking only Ruffies worked reliably in Maher's case. Add to that his ugly view of people in general and without money and fame, Maher doesn't appear to have much working for him when it comes to being a genuinely attractive human being at all. So why would this malformed creature have any concern for the health of others? And certainly he has no trouble paying his medical bills. What's up with this?

And since Americans can only be prodded into doing something with money, we need to tax crappy foods that make us sick like we do with cigarettes, and alcohol -- and alcohol actually serves a useful function in society in that it enables unattractive people to get laid, which is more than you can say for Skittles.

I think it's about being weak and vulnerable, more than anything else. Those aren't totally uncommon descriptors when it comes to many liberals. Inside they know they don't feel they measure up somehow. And even his comedic mask isn't enough to compensate for Maher. No, he needs to take the next step up and hope that by aligning himself with a great leveler like big government can be, his feelings of being less than all that can be legislated away somehow.

After all, if government were to mandate that we all be the same, Maher can hardly be blamed for not standing out, can he? I don't believe Maher to be the kind of person who cares for others in general terms. If he did, he wouldn't be consumed with trying to demean them as he does with almost all of his comedy bits. So, what else is it that could be driving his desire to see a large external and sterile force like government take control of the individual wherever it can?

Ultimately, I believe it's all about him because that's probably all Maher has ever been about. Simply put, Maher is as selfish as one could be. Forget that his worldview is un-American given its lack of respect for individuals and their freedoms; it's ugly, too. Just as ugly as is Bill Maher himself, as a matter of fact.

What you said. He is one scary, unhealthy sight. They have really mastered this pot calling the kettle black stuff, haven't they? Oh, was that racist?

"what else is it that could be driving his desire to see a large external and sterile force like government take control of the individual wherever it can?"

I would note Bill Maher spends way too much time on the subject of getting laid and how the uptight-religiosity are preventing people from having sex which indicates a projection sexual impotence. His impotence is so severe I'll bet he is the type of prick who must beat his partner to turn his flabbiness into something workable yet never reaching any climax.

Rather than selfishness, I think Bill Maher's sexual impotence motivates his control-freak impulses.

Let me add a little something here to the healthcare debate, if I may. We just bailed out an insurance behemoth AIG to the tune of oh $100 billion or so. Mr. Obama wants to save $200 billion on Medicare. Can none of you left wing or right wing fools see the connection here? When money is put ahead of humanity the economics of scarce resources leads inevitably to tyranny. The war reparations placed upon Germany after WWI lead to the bestial final solution. The logic of bailing out criminal speculators too big to fail leads down that same path. If you are not able to understand this it is because you refuse to look this evil in the eye. It really is just that simple. Thank you.

[xerocky]

Maher once said that Dr.'s shouldn't work for profit, that profiting from the pain of others is wrong...

"If conservatives get to call universal health care "socialized medicine," I get to call private health care "soulless vampires making money off human pain.""

Ok, well Bill, you're a comedian, and they say laughter is the best medicine, you go work for free, asswipe.

[Mary]

oBAMA wants to grab more power. That is ALL that this health care debate is about. Those who can't see thatare naive.
BTW-Maher is one ugly ass horror!!!

[Andrew]

Hmmmmm, it would seem he forgot to mention the two liberals gems who are walking 'poster boys' for health (well one of em still is anyway), Ted Kennedy and Michael Moore....snark

[Lala]

Maher looks like those ugly Acorn Rathke brothers.

[daveinboca]

Maher looks like your fag-hag dreamboat on steroids. The only attractive thing about him is that he's on pay-cable, which I don't have to consciously avoid him. He is a mutt, just like Obama, only his parents had deficits in the looks department. Wonder if Maher's mom ever posed in the nude under an Xmas tree?

[Bruce]

Ya'll are starting off your comments with the premise that this POS Maher is a "comedian." Wrong. Maher is not funny and never was, like many of his ilk - such as David Letterman.

Neither would know "funny" if they slipped on a banana peel and broke their asses.

Come to think of it ... THAT would be funny, right there.

[muffler]

Actually if this is the level of conversation in the left/right battle I am appalled. It's a show by someone who is more to the left then you're liking. I am sure that since Americans are fatter today (and get less exercise then ever before) both sides have fat protesters. Big deal. What did you expect? Cheers and glee that 70,000 people protested on that sunday?

[Fred Beloit]

I wonder how many STDs this guy is carrying right now from all the "starlets" and star-struck 18-year olds he has fooled into getting into bed with him. If you don't believe he is one of the greatest Don Juans in history, just ask him. Good thing there are a wide variety of anti-biotics available from his HBO-paid sick care insurance, in my opinion.

[mike farmer]

And as the old joke goes, the fat can lose weight, the ignorant can learn, but Maher will be ugly til he dies.

[Peg C.]

muffler, you're ignorant or stupid or most likely both. It wasn't 70K and it WASN'T ON A SUNDAY. It was a Saturday, 9/12, exactly 1 week ago today, and I was there. My family paid our own way, we used valuable vacation time, we spent a lot of our own money those 4 days, we made our own signs, and we'll do it again. Deal with it.

[Evil Red Scandi]

@Peg C - Cut the libtard some slack. They've never done a legitimate demonstration that wasn't full of bussed-in union and "community activist" groups (eg, people who will be paid to demonstrate and people without jobs). They can't even conceive people using their own time, their own money, and their own transportation on a cause. It's simply not in their worldview. It shouldn't be surprising, either - these are the people who lobby to have somebody else provide them with time, money, and transportation for everything else in their worthless, unproductive little lives. There's no point in being angry - just give them the same understanding and compassion that would any other developmentally disabled person. Or some vicious snark. But don't let them get you angry. It's just not worth it. And have a great weekend!

[Peg C.]

Evil, you're right and I'm not angry, not at this idiot. Venting keeps me sane. :-D And that is the point I was trying to make - the other side don't pay their own way, they don't make their own signs, they very likely don't benefit the local economies, they certainly don't pick up their own trash! (a point I forgot to make - we all did!), they don't drive themselves and pay for the gas and tolls, etc., etc. They go where and do what they're told and only if funded. They never question their funding while trying to find a big conspiracy in everything WE do. There is no genuine passion or principles involved - not if they don't do it all and pay for it all themselves.

And just to reiterate, if D.C. happens again it will be even bigger.

[muffler]

Peg C.

You must quite the nice person. I'm neither ignorant nor stupid. I am actual well traveled, highly educated and a 26 year professional senior manager. Yes I got the day wrong.. so sue me. The march wasn't terribly important from a historical perspective and yes the numbers were between 70K and 100K max. My friends live in DC and saw it. They also have seen the impact to traffic etc for decades. Get over the self importance. I am glad that you have the passion to sacrifice days off and your own money, but doesn't almost everyone who participates in protest events? Everyone has a right to protest, but they also have to subscribe to the idea that others will comment and report corroborated facts. See the metrp numbers for 9/12. NYC has more people traveling on a Sunday night.

The Saturday (stand corrected) event wasn't a huge deal. I've seen way larger events for music concerts.

[liegh14]

Muffler, you don't have to tell us how educated you are because it does show how ignorant you are. We don't have to flaunt our knowledge or education to know the common sense. As usual, you showed us the true color of being a libertard. That is being superior than us because of your education. You guys called us all kinds of name because we don't want your Obamaturds to waste our tax dollars to his ACORN, his socialist agenda to bankrupt our nation.

[Peg C.]

muffler, 10s if not 100s of thousands did not ride the Metro Saturday, but used other transportation. Further, the trains were so packed they stopped picking up marchers. Don't speak of what you don't know; you sound like a dunce. Metro numbers are virtually meaningless.

Music concerts larger? I doubt even Woodstock was larger. I've been to the Rose Bowl which holds over 104K and this was several orders of magnitude larger than that. But it is pointless to talk to you. You weren't there, you rely on state-run media for your numbers, and you're locked into your mindset.

And next time will be even bigger.

[Peg C.]

liegh, they are obsessed with the numbers on 9/12 (and trivializing them) because they are incapable of intelligently discussing what impelled so many to give up so much to be there. They talk about how educated they are but they are incapable of intelligent discussion of ideas.

[SoCalRobert]

Maher: "illegals don't even get health care".

That statement alone disqualifies any opinion that (unfunny) buffoon has to offer. We're doomed when a lot of people start seeing Maher (John Stewart, Colbert, et al) as sources for serious opinion. On this, Maher is either ignorant of the facts or he knows the facts but chooses to lie. I think he's lying.

Soaring costs to care for illegals in hospitals and clinic across the country are well documented. We get jewels like the story of the girl who was brought here illegally some years ago and is now waiting for her FOURTH liver transplant at UCLA. We also see in this story that immigrant status doesn't figure into the decision as to who gets a (rare) transplant organ (so how many US citizens die because a donor organ went to an illegal?). There are other stories out their of illegals coming to the US to get expensive care at our expense.

I'm sorry this girl was born with liver problems but shouldn't her home country (Mexico in this case) assume this responsibility?

There are millions of people on this planet with severe medical problems but there is no way we can take care of all of them. We don't have the resource. Perhaps Mexico (and a lot of other places) should put more effort into modernizing their economies and less into exporting their poor to the US.

"I am actual well traveled...and a 26 yr. old professional senior manager."

Really. You're not well-educated, and I'd be surprised if you were a senior manager for any company, with the possible exception of something akin to an ACORN office. There the requirement is political indoctrination of the moonbat persuasion, in which you appear to be well-qualified indeed.

[jay d.]

I am prolife and everytime I talk to a pro-choice individual, they bring up the same old argument. You may not have had Bill Maher around. I have to shut up. kentcuky

[jc]

Maher is living proof that a whole lot of people cannot tell the difference between intelligence and merely being snide.

[MICHAEL SPENCER]

DC was not impacted on 9/12. That is a fact, and having relatives there, none I talked to even knew protestors were there. Having been to DC and NYC, NYC Sunday night public transit is/was much busier than last week 9/12 in DC.

[Xiaoidng]

"a 26 year professional senior manager"

Dude! Just so you know, never, EVER, tell people your a "manager", as a sign of some kind of status or something. It isn't. Manager, LOL! REALLY!! LMAO!

[templar knight]

Uh, Michael, my son is stationed at Ft. McNair, and he was very much impacted by the march. He reported first hand that streets were closed, buses were everywhere, huge crowds were marching, and he had seen nothing comparable in his two years there but the inauguration. Maybe your relatives stayed at home and watched network news. That would certainly make them unaware. Otherwise, they are lying.

[Louis]

On top of everything else, this incredibly ugly man is becoming very bald under that ridiculous hairpiece.

Gangrene of the soul working its way to the surface? He is a walking picture of decadence and evil.

[joyMc]

Why does Bill Maher have a deformed penis coming out of his chest?
