Bill Maher has a message for liberal purists, "Go f**k yourself!"

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

“That begins learning the difference between an imperfect friend and a deadly enemy,” Maher said. He went on to quote Jill Stein, who famously said both candidates were like being murdered just in different ways. “Well, I’m sure with Trump in charge and a racist attorney general there will be a lot more of both.” 

Before the election, Edward Snowden tweeted “2016: The difference between Donald Trump and Goldman Sachs.” Maher noted that Trump has actually hired Goldman Sachs executives and former staffers to work for him. “The only people he hasn’t hired from Goldman Sachs is Goldman and Sachs.” 

He then cited Cornell West who called Trump a neofascist and Clinton a ‘neoliberal disaster.’ “I don’t even know what a neoliberal disaster even means but whatever it is, isn’t it better than a fascist one? Have you people lost your f*cking minds? 

“If Hillary was president now, would we be turning the clock back on the one issue on which there is no more time: climate change?” Maher asked. “Would we have to wonder if our president’s fascination with dictators is foreshadowing a coup here? Would we ever have to wonder if she was Putin’s b*tch? And instead of trying to kick millions off health care to pay tax cuts for herself, she would be trying to raise her own taxes to get more people covered. She wouldn’t be complaining, ‘It’s complicated! Who knew?’ She knew.”

At the end of his rant Maher suggests that the liberal purists who refused to recognize the clear and obvious differences between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton should go fuck themselves with "a locally grown organic cucumber."

That's a little crude for my tastes, but I certainly agree with the sentiment.

Our country would be in such better shape if these idiots had not allowed themselves to be manipulated by the Russians into believing that Hillary was winning because she was "the anointed one," and had put on their big boy pants and cast their vote for the good of the nation instead of pouting like children because they did not get their way.

    Thank you Bill Maher and Colbert for holding steady against Donald Trump....you represent the majority of Americans and no one can say otherwise.

    Love both of your shows! Keep up the good work and keep your humor - although I know it's getting more difficult to do so!

    It is cute that you are still trying to blame the Russians for Hillary's terrible campaign, and really just her general failures as a candidate.

    But if Bill Maher quotes are fair game then:

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/3/bill-maher-to-hillary-clinton-stay-in-the-woods-ok/

    Hillary Clinton said she’s “ready to come out of the woods” after keeping a low profile since her shocking election defeat in November, but Bill Maher thinks she should just stay in there.

    On Friday’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the 61-year-old comedian said the former Democratic presidential nominee had her chance and blew it.

    “Hillary, stay in the woods, OK? You had your shot. You f—ed it up. You’re Bill Buckner,” Mr. Maher said. “We had the World Series, and you let the grounder go through your legs. Let someone else have the chance.

    “The fact that she’s coming back, it just verifies every bad thing anyone’s ever thought about the Clintons, that it’s all about them,” Mr. Maher said. “Let some of the other shorter trees get a little sunlight.”

      You're pretty stupid, aren't you 5:21. In this quote Maher was addressing those idiots, like someone I know who I'd tell what I think, were she not in a supervisory position, and who now whine and wring their hands about T.Rump.

      In your quote he is addressing HIllary, who, if she had run a better campaign, there would have been enough other voters where we could have just allowed the purists their organic, gluten-free, vegan friendly all-natural hypoallergenic twinkies, with a glass of marl superiority to wash it down. .

    2. The Russians are currently trying to influence the French election. That last minute hack and dump of Macron's accounts with some fake news negative propaganda mixed in with the real stuff? And right before the media blackout.

      But turnabout is fair play. I understand a lot of posters went up all over France with Donald Trump's face replacing Marine Le Pen's. Because that is basically who she is and if you vote for her you're voting for a Trump/Putin puppet. Hopefully the message won't be lost on the French voters and they will show themselves to be smarter and less gullible than the stupid Americans.

    Off topic here but it is all the same noise, so here we go. Just saw an interview with the lawmaker from Wassilie who claims that women are getting pregnant just to cop a free ride to town to get an abortion. There is truly a special place in hell for this fella. Bob

    The fringe, whether on the left or the right, when normalized and given too much power, is detrimental to a functioning democracy. Non-compromising ideologues are create polarization and are bad for functioning democracy. Bernie Sanders, insisting he is an Independent and not a Democrat, yet, demanding that the Democratic Party adopt his ideology is bad for a functioning democracy.

    Sorry but I still don't get why Hilary is so disliked. This woman has worked her entire life for programs to help everyone. She is qualified and focused. The husband had a little problem and she should not be judged for his issues. The election was rigged and Hilary is the actual president of the USA.

      No she is not President 5:59, she lost. Badly. It was in all the papers, surprised you didn't know. She got clobbered. The big fail.

      Apparently, attending endless Martha's Vineyard fundraisers and dinners with Hollywood's elite, didn't really impress to the working class the way she though it did.

      I was going to write the same thing. There is a huge swath of this nation, and not just white entitled GOP MEN, who will never accept a female President, no matter how qualified and superior. In fact, her intellectual and moral superiority to the fool in the WH (and on the golf course, and screwing us out of a million a week with his vacations) probably hurt her. As shown by the truly intelligent Obama, they do not like feeling less than someone else. My husband came around when Trump showed what an ass he is, but I guarantee that every other male in his family voted GOP. Yes, the good Bible-thumping, moral high ground voters in Ohio and Kentucky voted for Trump, and so did their womenfolk. My 85 year old father-in-law summed it up, "I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to vote for Trump, but I couldn't vote for HER." Why not, he was asked? "Well, she's a criminal, isn't she?" We are doomed. Now and in the future. Women are our hope, and men will not allow it.

      I think that the GOP has been frightened of Hillary Clinton since her husband was governor of Arkansas. They saw that she was intelligent, competent and truly interested in helping ordinary people. They've been intent on destroying since those long ago days.

      And, with the help of the Russians, they finally succeeded. Or, did they? While I doubt very much that Hillary Clinton will run for office again, she's going to be speaking on behalf of the many millions (more than for Trump) who voted for her and for those who were too stupid to do so.

      He doesn't sleep with her. That ended with the birth of Sir Barron. As long as she 'got her body back,' she was permitted the perks of being Mrs. Trump. And she is fine with that...she LIKES living in gold-plated, sterile places, surrounded by gaudy artwork and servants. It was her dream when she gave up school to come to the USA and work on a tourist visa, take off her clothes, sleep her way to Donnie Trump, who was still married. The way the RW embraces this conniving slut is sickening.

    Our president is a traitor. He is complicit with Putin. He borrowed money and laundered money through his Vegas casino. And the only wall that should be in his future is the one he stands against as he is executed for treason. And every politician who has supported and promoted his agenda should be standing beside him. Oh, and all those xtians, too.

    Sanders supporters voted for Hillary. Yes. The majority did.

    Last I checked Sanders did not write Comey's letter.

      Interesting to see that the Kremlin talking points are still being used even after everything we have learned about Russian interference.

      Bad candidates do not require the FBI and Kremlin to interfere on their opponent's behalf in order to lose an election.

      As for stupidity, how is anything more stupid than a person taking a victory lap in response to the election of the candidate that Vladimir Putin chose to run our country?

      Anon at a12:58 am. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes. A lot of people like and respect her. This country would be much better off if she were in the White House and not Trump. We all know it. There was something incredibly fishy in the electoral votes this time around. And the fact that the GOP fought against any recounts so strenuously helps convince me that the GOP also knew there was something mighty bizarre going on. Now we're stuck with the 21st century GOP and a con artist in charge of the US. God help us all.

      Clinton took California by over 4.2 million votes Beaglemom, that is more than your whole popular vote difference. One State. And she did not "win" the popular vote. There is no "win" with the popular vote, it is just a number as the Presidency is won by the electoral vote.

      By the way were you aware that the Hillary Campaign spent twice as much money as the Trump campaign? And they still couldn't push the old horse thru for the win.

    Sanders should have ran as an Independent as he claims to be. Although his hats "feel the burn" were made in china. So the whole lying shit show sucks. And the rump shit show sucks worst. Being putin's small holster in a swamp of toxic waste of money is not good. To Hell with all of them. They fu^ked up our belief in democracy and truth. And comey and the liars will pay the price. The only remedy is to get that asshole out of office, throw the republicans out of the building on their sorry asses and kick the democrats in the ass for allowing it to even happen. The Independent party has been a total waste of time and votes.
