Courtesy of Politicususa:
Maher asked Republicans, “If these better than the rest of us real Americans really do exist, how come when they find one, they turn out to be a creep? Either you’re a terrible judge of character, or there’s nobody home at the good people house.”
The Real Time host ran down the list. Kim Davis turns out to be everything Republicans hate. Cliven Bundy is a racist. George Zimmerman is an angry racist who keeps getting in trouble with the police. Joe The Plumber was a totally fabricated lie.
Of course Maher saved his most scathing remarks for sister molester and Ashley Madison customer Josh Duggar:
"Josh traded on his family’s image to work as a lobbyist for the ultra-conservative Family Research Council, and all of the Republican presidential candidates wanted a picture with him. Until it turned out, he had two Ashley Madison accounts, had paid for rough sex with porn stars and had molested his sisters."
Of course to that list we could also add the tragically stupid Sarah Palin, the Blinded by the Bible Ben Carson, and of course the incredibly ego-maniacal Donald Trump.
In fact one would be hard pressed to think of a single conservative icon who was not completely phony, as well as a tragically flawed human being.
Yes and to that list I would also add Republican hero Ronald Reagan. Who not only raised taxes, and granted amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants, but also resided over one of the most corrupt administrations in recent memory.
Maher forgot that great Alaskan Republican Hero, Papa Pilgrim. Now there was a real role model!
ReplyDeleteHell, yeah, he was a true Republican hero. Echoing Sarah Palin he said, "get the government out of the way" so he could go on raping and beating his children in peace and privacy.
DeleteDon't forget tricky dick nixon either. They don't consider him a hero because he got caught but he set the standard for future generations of republican leaders as to how far they could go. It all starts with nixon. One corrupt sick individual.
ReplyDeleteO/T: Congratulations Alaska! Shell announced they are giving up on Arctic drilling! After all that fooferaw, they finally gave up.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, good news -- for a change!
DeleteGeorge W Bush is another. A drunk who went AWOL.

DeleteThere is a difference between being a conservative and conservative hucksterism.
ReplyDeleteFor all of us dealing with mentally ill and cannot get them help -no beds - no funding - laws stating the mentally ill can determine their own need for care - we can thank Ronnie Reagan. He needed money to balance the budget when he was governor of California. He closed all the institutions and dumped all the mental patients on the streets and gave us the California homeless. Then he became president and again overspent so dumped all the mentally ill on the streets and cut any spending on care for them. That created homeless sick throughout the US. San Francisco just had a news article stating they have no homeless. Their street people are the mentally ill, not folks seeking employment or capable of providing income for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe GOP in general, doesn't understand there are real people behind the kine items they slash. Regan, especially felt that arming the Iranians was a great way to solve problems. Bush took that and ran with it.
DeleteI would like to add the names George Zimmerman and Donald Trump to that list of republican hero false prophets.
