Bill Maher: 'Republicans Don't Care About Dead Mexicans'

By Noel Sheppard | June 23, 2012 | 01:32

Bill Maher said Friday, "Republicans don't care about dead Mexicans."

This came moments after he admitted on HBO's Real Time he didn't know anything about the controversial White House mission known as Fast and Furious "until this week" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

BILL MAHER: I mentioned the Fast and Furious in the monologue and I really didn't explain it to people who don't know. And by the way, I was one of those people until this week who didn't know.

Why doesn’t it surprise me a dunce like Bill Maher didn’t know what Fast and Furious was until this week?

And this guy is propped up by the liberal media as being a well-informed intellect people should listen to.

Makes you sick, doesn’t it? But I digress:

MAHER: I heard that term Fast and Furious. It's not the movie, by the way. It's the name of an operation that the feds were indulging in to try to trace guns. They were purposely selling them to Mexican drug dealers. By the way, Darrell Issa, who’s head of the committee that just held Holder in contempt, he was here about a year ago and he said to me back stage before the show, “Are you going to talk about Fast and Furious?” And I said, “I don't really like Vin Diesel.”

Amazing. Maher was actually flaunting his ignorance like a badge of honor, and his liberal audience including MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow were laughing.

I guess stupidity is something to be revered on the Left. That shouldn't be surprising since they do so much in this country to make sure the education system is sub-par.

As such, why shouldn’t they highly regard a television host admitting that until last week, he had no idea about a White House operation to give guns to Mexican drug dealers that cost at least two American lives?

But I once again digress:

MAHER: I didn’t know what he was talking about. This is the two worlds that we live in. I always say they live in a bubble.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

“They” live in a bubble?

Maher just admitted he had no idea about this significant covert operation being run by the American government, and he had the nerve to accuse those investigating it as living “in a bubble”:

MAHER: Anyway, Darrell Issa says this is a giant scandal. I’ve heard on Fox News this week it's worse than Watergate because 200 Mexicans have died. First of all, let me just say Republicans don't care about dead Mexicans. “A,” and “B,” I think those 200 dead Mexicans would be dead even if we hadn't sold them guns. They would have gotten the guns somewhere else. So is it really a scandal?

Let's add up Maher's score.

First, he admitted not knowing anything about Fast and Furious until this week.

Then, he flaunted his ignorance on national television.

Next, he wore it like a badge of honor only to finally belittle Republicans for not only living in a bubble but also not caring about dead Mexicans despite it being conservatives that have been talking about and investigating this failed mission for over two years while being stonewalled by Democrats.

And this man has his own nationally televised show.

Makes you wonder what country you live in, doesn't it?

Yeah, Eric the Witholder is using Mexicans for target practice..

Submitted by Dave. on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 1:58am.

...in a lame-assed, utterly unconstitutional-as-Hell (not to mention illegal) effort to justify a gun grab on the part of the feds, and somehow the repubs are responsible?

Several hundred Mexicans are now dead, along with two US Border Patrol agents.

But don't bother John Bonehead, as he is busy working his way down the back nine - probably a hole or two behind the Dear Ruler.

Fork Bill Maher, and then put him in the same cell as Sandusky, and hopefully the Dear Ruler and his butt-buddy Holder will soon be joining them.

In that situation, I wonder who gets raped first?

I'm hoping it's comrade Maher.

Whatever Bill Mars can do, I can do better.

In the end, I take considerable satisfaction that things are evolving the way that **I** want them to, not the way **HE** does.

It's a miserable life Bill Mars lives, knowing that he threw away $1m.

An obvious lie. This is just

Submitted by hoosherdaddy137 on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 7:00am.

An obvious lie. This is just more BS to marginalize F&F and pretend like its no big deal.
"oh thins just in, the evil republicans killed 200 mexican citizens and for some reason think Obama had something to do about it." If the bait and switch works, and the Dbag leftists get this "no big deal" narrative going it might be allot more difficult to "crucify" holder and his ilk.

Whatever happens, smear Republicans

Submitted by lgeubank on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 7:54am.

Great. Obama and his minions connive and scheme to manipulate the American people, by perpetrating a gun-related disaster, which they can use to discredit the Second Amendment.

It's a convoluted, sneaky scheme, worthy of Wile E. Coyote. And it is so typical of Obama, our homegrown Mussolini for Morons, who never admits what he's really after, but always sneaks and connives to fool the people with political theater and propaganda. (And have you noticed he's black?)

And what lesson does Maher take from all that? "Republicans are evil."

The man is truly mentally ill.

Democrats don't care about

Submitted by Mr. Mike on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 8:07am.

Democrats don't care about dead Mexicans! Our current anything goes immigration policy causes thousands of poor Mexicans to cross a hazardous swath of no man's land just to enjoy the meager fruits of living in the shadows of this country. Mexicans, just like the unborn, are pawns to further the power structure democrats have created in this country.

Liberals, Progressives Don't Want To Know Inconvenient Facts

Submitted by Wildcatter1980 on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 9:49am.

Why doesn’t it surprise me a dunce like Bill Maher didn’t know what Fast and Furious was until this week?

They may be "dunces", but more importantly, they do not want to hear, let alone seek out inconvenient facts.

Maher did not know about "Operation Fast and Furious" because he did not want to know about it. He did not want to have to sit there on stage and try to defend the indefensible. He did not want to have to try and justify that the alleged "ends" of F&F were worth the death of not only U.S Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, but also hundreds of other people. He did not want to try and explain away the potential implications that F&F was, in fact, a cynical ploy to deceive the general public into accepting more and tighter gun controls in violation of the 2nd Amendment.

If you want to know what liberal secular progressives are really doing, just listen to what they are accusing others of.

And it's going to get a lot worse for the Obama team before Nov.

As more citizens get focused on the candidates, and discover Obama's antics, Axelfraud will have to work 24/7 to figure out how to dodge the bowling balls coming at the Obama re-election efforts.

In Obama's Fast & Furious

Submitted by rbosque on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 11:52am.

In Obama's Fast & Furious plan, they EXPECTED to have dead Mexicans. How else would they get the outrage they needed to continue their war on guns? How cold blooded is that Maher?

Obama KNEW there would be casualties from HIS plan, THAT'S why the Execute Priveledge. It's all to cover HIS ass.

So Obama is truly a cold-blooded murderer.

The NY Mets are Mexican Haters

Submitted by paratisi on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 12:16pm.

I think that every time this hateful piece of walking cow pie says things like this, the NY Mets front office needs to be interviewed and asked why the NY Mets and their representatives, hate Mexicans or whatever else this racist scumbag is drunkenly spewing about. He is now the face of the organization and the sooner they are shamed by this walking, talking excrement, the better off everyone is. This petty little man has no shame and cannot be belittled(aside from the fact that he doesn't have the intellect to understand), but the NY Mets , which he is part of the ownership group, is smeared by his hatred, racism, bigotry and misogyny every time this little troll opens its mouth.

So personally, I will be sending an email to the NY Mets front office, asking them to defend their owners racist statements and if they as an organization stand by this hateful little man?

God Bless America!

You are such a hack, dude.
