Bill Maher disses Tim Tebow

Bill Maher made disparaging remarks about Tim Tebow in a tweet; it's too bad that people are so offended (or threatened) by Tim Tebow's faith. Tim Tebow doesn't come out and make nasty remarks about others, and perhaps that is why they fear his faith, behavior, and existence.

Of course, Bill Maher is one of our generation's great thinkers. In fact, he was quoted for his brilliance:

In the September 16th, 2010 Rolling Stone issue, Bill Maher is quoted as saying that "Peter Griffin (Family Guy) combines being supremely confident with having his head up his ass. Maybe it's because I see him in reruns when I go to bed; No matter what stupid thing I've done that day, I can fall asleep knowing that somebody's fucking dumber than me."

Oddly enough, I get the same satisfaction from Bill Maher's existence.

Disgusting Spectacle


I don’t think that anyone can dispute that the heinous actions of the Arizona shooter (Jared Loughner) are reprehensible and inexcusable. The subsequent politicization of the incident, though, is truly disgusting. Six people DIED.

I’ll bypass the ridiculous lamestream media accusations that talk radio inflamed the dumbass, given that he was an aficionado of the typical liberal heroes, Marx and Mao.

The nationally televised “memorial” for the “victims”, though, was quite disgusting. It was NOT a memorial, but it was a freaking political rally. Although I might expect polite applause for the recognition of a deceased’s life, the entire stadium of attendees cheered loud and long for the President. And then they cheered too many times during his speech.

I guess that I’m old fashioned, or perhaps I don’t know how to mourn, but I would never cheer during a memorial. I might applaud appropriately, but I wouldn’t cheer. The only time during the whole show that any respect was paid was when the death of the 9 year old girl was addressed. Other than that, the crowd cheered. I would not cheer in a memorial, but that’s just me.

The network ABC even gave it a name: “Together We Thrive”. A wonderful sentiment, but what in the hell does it have to do with what should be a solemn remembrance?

The President talked on and on (with the TOTUS, of course), never addressing that the killer was just a nut. Thanks, prez.
