Angry Bill Maher Mocks WWII Vets

This guy would have to duck to walk under a rattlesnake, but the hepcats think he's cool.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywo...aher-WWII-vets

On Friday evening, enraged at World War II veterans who had the temerity to move aside President Obama’s barricades to visit the World War II Memorial, HBO’s Bill Maher launched into a broadside against the brave veterans, labeling them dumb.

"The other thing that apparently was so important for the Republicans to keep open was the World War II Memorial in Washington. That was closed, so a bunch of the World War II vets knocked down the barriers and stormed it,” Maher said, to the laughter of his audience.

“And then I loved this, they posed for pictures with Michele Bachmann who showed up. Michele Bachmann, one of the people most responsible for shutting the fucking thing down. They're the greatest generation - nobody said they were the brightest generation."

Of course, that was a lie – the House Republicans voted to restore funding for the National Park Service, but the Democratic Senate prevented a vote on that measure in order to heighten suffering surrounding the shutdown. In fact, the Obama administration reportedly rejected the World War II veterans’ request to visit the memorial before the vets moved aside the barricades. The administration then reinforced the barricades after the incident.


For Maher to slander World War II veterans as stupid for not kowtowing to despicable shutdown tactics is reprehensible. Before the war, they endured tremendous poverty during the Great Depression.After returning from World War II, veterans worked to establish the nation’s greatest companies in the private sector and infrastructure projects in the public sector; they were the driving force behind the growth of the planet’s best system of higher education.

World War II-generation men and women built America into the unchallenged hegemon on the planet. But then again, they didn’t have a show on HBO.

I rarely take comedians seriously.

Freedom of Speech (and in this case, HBO) gives us everything from Band of Brothers to cheap shots from comedians. All in all, it works. The comedian gets forgotten and everyone is still buying the DVD sets of Band of Brothers. I think most of us get it right in that regard and most of us appreciate and honor the Greatest Generation for their hard work and sacrifice. Those who don't? Not worth my time or attention.

There's a line you don't cross, dude.

Freedom of speech can be carried too far. Think one of those comedians would try to get away with calling Obama the n-word? Or call his mother a dumbass, his dad a communist, or he himself a pothead? That's disrespect and contempt beyond the pale, and you can't license it by calling it comedy.

Utter disrespect and contempt is what this ass displayed for WWII warriors.

Now that would be the one time I would watch his show.

Isn't he the same guy who said 911 was our fault?

I must disagree, making a mockery of something should be a bigger deal than it currently is in our society. Something that is mocked openly and often, is not going to be something respected in the eyes of the public...Why I believe that muslims kill those who mock that old dead pedophile they revere.

Humor will cause something to stick in your mind for a very long time, and sow enough thoughts about something and people will believe it.
