"Bill Maher Admits His Audience Are ‘Brainwashed Liberals’ "

Also, water is wet, and the sun is very hot.

abh555   January 14th, 2012 - 6:52 am

"Brainwashed" would imply that they have a brain, no?

losarkos   January 14th, 2012 - 6:53 am

bill who?

DanielShays   January 14th, 2012 - 6:54 am

Not just brain washed liberals.Exceedingly stupid brain washed liberals

MR2   January 14th, 2012 - 6:55 am

Sadly, he recognizes what his audience is, but fails to see the real brainwashed liberal in the mirror…

Petroglyph   January 14th, 2012 - 6:56 am

Maher has obviously been perusing Breitbart lately and stealing our comments.

We have been saying that about his audience for years.

johndoesoetoro   January 14th, 2012 - 6:56 am

Imagine, if you could remember and write down everything corrupt and evil that we've learned about 0bama, his administration, and the left-wing in general… what would the list look like?

This is what it would look like: http://www.american-trojan-horse.blogspot.com/

Brainwashed and liberal mean exactly the same thing. Dont get me started on Maher……….

He's a capitalist, appealing to an immature audience who values snark over thought. I find it increasingly difficult to justify sending money to Comcast (MSNBC) for cable and the bundle of premium channels (including HBO) each month.

LibertyWriter   January 14th, 2012 - 7:03 am

Not even funny anymore.

GaultFalcon   January 14th, 2012 - 7:05 am

All good humor is based in truth. And that was funny you "brain washed Liberal".

Ruler4You   January 14th, 2012 - 7:06 am

Actually, saying his audience has a 'brain' is a bit of an over statement. What they have is a (small) flash drive with liberal encryption that only allows liberals to store dogma for immediate recall.

SquidVicious   January 14th, 2012 - 7:08 am

And you Bill, are too stupid to realize you're Spittin' on the Choir!

UnCL3   January 14th, 2012 - 7:08 am

Libs would debate those facts based on the source…a Conservative

ZeroZero_00   January 14th, 2012 - 7:10 am

He expressed very "hawkish" opinions about the Middle East just a few years ago…i doubt his sincerity, they love to use Ron Paul as a way to divide the "right wingers".

Grace656   January 14th, 2012 - 7:21 am

Bill Maher will say and do whatever it takes to keep his Hefner wannabe lifestyle up and running and funded.

Steve_Pa   January 14th, 2012 - 7:21 am

Brainwashed from preschool to PHD via union teachers.

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 7:25 am

Are you showing off your "basic humor skills"? Try again.

Sound&Fury   January 14th, 2012 - 7:26 am

Maher may using sarcasm, but Hitch was sincere in saying that Maher's audience is frivolous, and would clap at anything their dear leader had to say…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HECI4QK_mXA

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 7:30 am

Take another look at that panel Maher put together. I can't believe people would actually watch a show with Meathead and Debbie WaWa. Forget brainwashed…more like labotomized.

ShawnSen   January 14th, 2012 - 7:31 am

All pretense is off , Obama's war mongering looks like the Bush years to them, –thats why the audience is not sure what to mindlesslly clap for …….Obama can not effectively rally against "boooooooooosssssshhhhhh warrrrrsssss" now that he's worse…..especially after bombing LIbya,( a country we were sure did not have WMDs, , that had not attacked us nor our allies , or even threatened to.).. for "humanitarian reasons"…… for 9 months, ……killing 25 thousand people in the conflict.
We need to hold the antiwar-at-all-costs crowd to their stated beliefs and let them know they can't vote, rally for, or campaign for Obama again and still hold theiir liberal views to be true,….., Obama 2012 should have to run against Obama 2008,
Keep in mind, many of the people who voted for Obama over the wars ARE Ron Paul nutjobs

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 7:32 am

Is that more of your humor skills?

DontTreadOnMe   January 14th, 2012 - 7:32 am

Admitting the existence of the problem is the first step towards fixing the problem.

TANSTAAFL   January 14th, 2012 - 7:33 am

It's the truth.

And you reactionary leftist all have to have a humorectomy when you turn 13 and declare, "Today I am an asshat."

TANSTAAFL   January 14th, 2012 - 7:34 am

Still funny.

'Cause it's true.

mechols1226   January 14th, 2012 - 7:35 am

Ejdulis… I'm sure you're just fine with Romney's recent comments about firing insurance companies being taken out of context… and yet, you complain about this… interesting…

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 7:36 am

He feels hurt for being called out by Maher. He shouldn't feel too bad…Bill still thinks he's "useful".

ScarySoetoro   January 14th, 2012 - 7:37 am

How long before a Breitbart RINO accuses Bill Maher of "antisemitism" lol. His mom would be very disappointed to find that out.

knobby05   January 14th, 2012 - 7:37 am

dumb down brainwashed liberals

hezaAZsmitty   January 14th, 2012 - 7:38 am

four brainwashed or is it brain dead panelists commenting on brainwashed liberal audiences castigating supposed brainswashed conservatives…………….it dosen't get any better!

From Christopher Hitchens to you and the rest of Maher's "frivolous" audience.

really? that is sort of reaching isn't breitbart. what gave it away that this is maher's real analysis of his audience, his laughter.

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 7:48 am

Maher is the one ripping brainwashed liberals…why are you mad at us?

This inbred, atheist hater has to face his Maker one day. How ironic when he exclaims at that moment, "Oh My God, you really do exist. But, I am a comedian. I didn't mean any of it…………………………."

R_Swift   January 14th, 2012 - 8:07 am

He's using what he sells on the street.

freedomliberty13   January 14th, 2012 - 8:08 am

We conservatives abhor "brainwashing" because it represents an affront to our individuality and our right to ratoinal choices. I don't think liberals consider "brainwashing" a perjorative, as long as THEY are the ones DOING the brainwashing with their propaganda. To them, brainwashing (e.g., daily talking points, chants for unions and "occupiers" chant at meetings, bumper stickers, posters, pickets) is a useful tool to overcome "gridlock.' It smoothes the way on the road to their socialist utopia. That's why the USSR & Nazis ("National SOCIALISM") had official departments of propaganda. This administration doesn't need an official department called that because they have the mainstream media which is a de facto propaganda department.

duh_swami   January 14th, 2012 - 8:12 am

Well, you're no shining example of liberal talent Miss…You would fail in stand up comedy because you ain't got no talent…
Some liberals have physical talents, like music or art, but when it comes to thinking, conceptualizing or comprehension of simple terms, there is no talent visible…That's why you need guys like Bill, and Jon, and Steve, and sometimes Alan Colmes to do your comedy for you…Bill knows who his audience is…no talent liberals…if they were talented conservatives they would watch Judge Judy and study her every move…Judge Judy never lies and endorses no candidates….

Drewy1990   January 14th, 2012 - 8:14 am

Yeah, he is one of the dudes that brainwashed them! Why else would they be watching him?
This guy is one of the makers of bullies! His hate spreading messages get addictive and his followers end up having to feed on it.

It would great if somone could stand up to this guy! Asking him stuff like " What percentage are you in of the most intelligent people in America?' Maybe then people would realize the arrogance of this guy. I think I know what his answer would be.

No one can prove water is wet…and the sun is not hot, it is surfaces that get hot, like your skin…I know these things to be true because Algore told me…Algore told me many wonderful and mysterious things…too many to mention here…Among his other magnificent attributes Algore is an inventor…He invented love, the internet, the carbon footprint, global warming, flight, radio, television, the modern flush toilet, and best of all, Algore invented beer…Algore is god…or at least close…

Cowboy Logic   January 14th, 2012 - 8:29 am

The only way to combat that nonsense, is we must police our own ranks. Everyone that reads his nonsense, and sees one of his posts, should immediately report it. Pretty soon, he will get tired and go away.

democratsarefools   January 14th, 2012 - 8:35 am

And the size of his audience will increase. Its the battered wife syndrome.

duh_swami   January 14th, 2012 - 8:35 am

The Obama doctrine of the 'responsibility to protect', allowed Obama to kill Libyians in order to protect them from being killed…I don't think Bush entertained that doctrine…Now we have troops in Uganda killing Ugandans in order to save Ugandan lives…
it is interesting that the anti-war folks have little to say to Obama, about his wars, nor Clinton about his, but a lot to say about Bush and his…That's because the hypocrites are not anti-war, or at least not most of them, they were anti-Bush…

GlenninVirginia   January 14th, 2012 - 8:35 am

Maher states the obvious.The posters here have been on to Maher's shtick for years.

Ashrak   January 14th, 2012 - 9:07 am

Unknowingly and without reservation, Bill Maher just exposed that the PaulBots, in large majority, are people with the political persuasion of Bill Maher. The fella who spoke first exposed the other part of it, that Paulbots tend to be a collection of single issue voters. Think the Pimpin for Paul aspect we saw yesterday. Whether it be smoking weed, hookin' it, are anything else, folks who are fed up with being controlled by government are gravitating to Paul's message. Sadly, they tend not to recognize the danger that Ron Paul presents. Yes, his Individual Liberty message is solid, his position on the FED is outstanding, but it is all for nothing when he adopts the isolationist attitude that we can have LIberty without being willing to step up to the plate and FIGHT FOR IT.

Ron Paul seems to think that we can keep our Liberty if we just play nice with the rest of the world. He has this idea that a bully will leave you alone if you just be nice to him. Ron Paul thinks that fighting and fighting back are the same thing, that both are wrong. He is profoundly mistaken. What he does not realize is that if the tyrants left us alone, and stopped stealing the liberty of others, we WOULD be nice to them because they earned it.

Ron Paul has some of the most important things backward. Have you noticed that Ron Paul is quite self deprecating when it comes to the these united States, but he never has any criticism for any other country, any other leader or any action taken by any country or population but this one?

A message to Ron Paul –

Dude, America, Americans, are not the root of all evil in this world. America is good kind and decent, whereas so many other nations around the world are interested in destroying her and the freedom that barely remains here. You, Ron Paul, help them spread the message that America and her Individual Liberty is the problem rather than the solution. And you, Sir, demonstrate little more than what is actually wrong with this country today. Indeed, you have become that which you claim to oppose.

badcrow   January 14th, 2012 - 9:14 am

In the case of Maher's audience, all that's needed is a light rinse…

You're as sad as those poor souls in North Korea, crying genuine tears over Kim Jong Il's passing. They don't believe they were brainwashed either.

ChiTownTom   January 14th, 2012 - 9:34 am

Nice try…I caught the sarcasm but that is not what he is doing. He is mocking you leftists who are always complaining about conservatives calling you brainwashed by pointing out when you are actually acting brainwashed. (he is pointing out what he feels is a Barry flaw and the left does not tolerate any criticism of dear leader) I wouldn't expect you to understand…unless Debbie Wasserman explains it to you.

Uh, MORON, he played the whole video that he was given by someone in that crowd. There was no "racist editing". If there was, PROVE IT or SHUT IT! His point was to show the RACIST reaction of the RACIST crowd. But MORONS can't understand that, MORON!

It's okay to say they have brains. And their brains have been washed. Nothing but a white liberal sheet is left.

My sister is, embarrassingly, a fan of his. She is a typical liberal, who all moved with their liberal friends to Colorado after they finished destroying the west coast. Liberals are always the vanguard of white flight.

amanuensis   January 14th, 2012 - 11:21 am

And his audience is aware of it as well. They love the brain-washing.
It's like a placebo – - even when the patient is told it is a placebo, he still takes it and it often works.
