Bill Maher Defends Elitism

The “Real Time” host offers his own unique take on the bitterness fiasco: “If you think the Democrats are going to take away your Bible, you’re an idiot. If you think they’re going to take away your gun, you’re an armed idiot. And if you think they’re going to take away your gun and give it to a Mexican to kill your god, you’re Bill O’Reilly.”

is a great commentator to keep it real. Some people must feel uncomfortable, because truth hurts.

Most people get more attuned to reality as they get older and hopefully smarter. It appears Bill Maher gets dumber by the day and is still a jerk.

Great stuff, Bill. Now we just need for TV mainstreamers like you to see patriotsquestion9/11, and by any voiced single thought herein properly shock this public into life.
