  • Bill Maher is the man! *funny stuff there :-)

  • I agree the U.S. is a stupid country because they continue to vote people into office that vote against their interests..If that isnt a case for "stupid" I dont know what is.

  • Bill maher rules

  • The real reason Maher is an asshole is that he's on News giving his opinion on politics, government and society, all of which are things that he has no education on, no experience in, and no professional capacity to comment on. He's an ASSHOLE who has conned all of you into thinking he's some kind of "pundit"... FUCK ALL

  • puppets making fun of puppets

  • It had to be CNN to get upset about a FACT like PALIN being STUPID. DUH, if you don't know PALIN is stupid or would be a POOR choice to lead this country then let's face it, YOU ARE DUMB. Bill Maher did NOT need to explain any further after that statement. Glenn Beck IS a DAMN NUT. Someone give him tranquilizers or better yet several LETHAL INJECTIONS.

  • Occupy your local city hall!

    You are the 99% Capitalism is based on greed, exploitation, and competition-Socialism is an enlightened progressive system based on cooperation, and mutual respect.

    Being anti Israel IS NOT anti-semetic! the occupy wall street movement is not anti Jew but anti Israel! Israel is worse than the corruption in America. Stop listening to the brainwash channels: fox news and cnn. Tune into BBC and Aljazeera english. commondreams org truthdig com Kpfk radio.

  • lol Maher was 100% right.

  • Bill Maher made the point that Avalon makes in his book. Palin is a HUGE wingnut under Avalon's own terms and the fact that Sarah Palin could be elected president makes the United States a stupid country. He isn't saying everyone is dumb, he is saying the character of the States, who voted in Bush, has the Republicans in Congress by voting 'No', etc is a gullible country. It's unfortunate John Avlon fancies himself an independent when he sits on the fence telling everyone to lower their voice.

  • well ill agree that there are a lot of dumb people in this country. as for maher i do not see him as a Superior intellect just a cocky liberal. I'm glad that I'm not some political puppet.

  • Maher may be pretty far left, but if Maher was as smart as Beck is stupid he'd be able to start fires with his mind

  • America is dumb because, like Bill Maher, they have supported this racist theocratic lunatic Obama.

  • Comment removed

  • LIBERALS are really horny for a dictatorship.

  • LIBERALS ARE TERRORISTS. Period.

  • @democratsdid9ll you've just proven Bill Maher right...... "period"

  • @thunderthumbs83 Bill Maher is the biggest dumbass who ever lived.

  • @democratsdid9ll why?, because he's an Amercan?

  • Comment removed

  • @democratsdid9ll why?, because he's an American?

  • Bill Maher is the biggest Nazi in history.

  • More leftist propaganda.

    All of the extremist RADICALS bent on violence are leftist revolutionary warmongers.

    Wanting to live in a free and propsperous country that is safe to raise children in rather than raising them in a commie war zone is not radical no matter how many time the fucking Nazi cunt liberal media lies and says it is.

    And CNN is only swiping at Beck because their ratings suck dick.

    And Obama is a fucking racist. Check the facts you sad excuse for a news network.

  • George Carlin said this country was stupid to... think the wing nuts are the idiots on the show

  • @ImDaBaron too, smart guy, LOL...

    I'm laughing at the superior intellect.

  • don't agree w/ the bill maher one. at least that week. lol

  • Compared to any member of the EU or Japan, yeah, America is pretty damn fucking stupid.

  • John Avalon is no more an 'independent' than Rudy Giuliani, who he used to be a speechwriter for. He is just too embarassed to call himself a Republican.

    Also, Bill Maher on his show, to his face, called John Avalon out on his false equivalency between Democrats and Republicans.

    (And even in this segment - there is no equivalence between Maher and Beck.)

  • america is stupid.

    look at test scored compared to curriculum.

    and the fact that palin has a good chance to be president is evidence that america is stupid.

    is a people would like to elect someone just because of the party they side with they are in fact stupid.

  • The criticism of Maher, that his comments are polarizing, is valid -- but Bill is right! Duhh???

    Look at the mid-term election.

    STUPID people, who don't read and don't know the facts. believe the silly LIES & propaganda from FIX News and vote for fictitious reform from the Tea Party.

    This is a propaganda WAR and International predatory corporations like Goldman Sachs, J.P.Morgan Chase, BP, and Halliburton are winning.

  • I believe he is correct.

  • nad yet either one of you believe these cnn non journalist, beck and bahler are not journalist either...go watch the view.since you are not sure what a news program is

  • Glenn Beck is right. Bill Maher is wrong. This segment is incredibly biased. Bill Maher is a far-left zealot, Obama cheerleader. Glenn Beck is mainstream, highly respected journalist. No comparison.

  • @saper321 Did you really just call Glenn Beck a journalist? Are you aware that he is not. He has clearly stated on more than one ocasion that he is an entertainer, not a journalist. He has also called himself a comentator but never a journalist. He has openly admitted to not checking facts EVER. He just says what he thinks (and by thinks I mean whatever the dilusion of the day is). He states his opinion on snippets that he hears or reads regardless of context. HE'S CRAZY

  • @mlomenzo well guess what. he takes the FACTS and makes a BIG PICTURE

    if you want a person that fits into your standard of "journalist" then talk to bill o' riley.

    both are saying the facts. glenn just comples them together.

  • @dawnriku Yes you are right on at least one count. He MAKES a big picture, which may have an inkling of an idea in it. However, the primary substance of what he says is not fact, but opinion.

  • @mlomenzo Fact the 1n working together rally (counter rally against glenns "restoring honor ralley") was sponcered by the COMMUNIST PARTY USA

    and Democratic SOCIALISTS of America

    now remind me if i am mistaken.. but Communisim is a bad idea. and National SOCIALIST party is NATZI's.

    hmm.. seems like the FACTS fill in the substance.

    stop listening to CNN and the huffington post and stand in the fire of truth

  • @dawnriku Funny you should say, I only ocasionally check either one of those sources for anything for the exact reason that you stated. They are not reliable media sources, they are slanted to far in one direction. The real problem is the there is NO FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS. You tell me to live in the "Fire of truth" I say step out of the shadows of fear mongering and propaganda (also Natzi tactics) and LEARN TO THINK FOR YOUR SELF. Take your news from many sources and fill in the blanks.

  • @mlomenzo yet there IS a reliable news organaization one that shows the truth on all things. like the lie that obama only went to church that one day because a muslim was talking FALSE and proven False.

    what is this news organization?

    The Blaze .com

  • @dawnriku Now i get it. You are a brainwashed Glen Beckie... Pimping his "News" website on here. Well done Well played. Good little cronie. Can you not see that propaganda is rampid with Beck? It is his favorite tool. He has said so. I can't remember the reference at the moment but i will look for it. Glen Beck is no Better than Bill Mahr or The Huffington Post. To find the truth, you have to check their motives and consider all possibilities.

  • @mlomenzo no. i am not. i know his news is True because i have tested it. i searched and found exactly what they were talking about.

    but then again you have not looked. i will admit sometimes glenn is out of proportion but when there are too many "coincidences" then you have to wonder.

  • @saper321 u r the perfect example of a dumb yank

  • john avalon, pluperfect proof that the country is stupid. A wingnut is a republican radical. He did get half of it right on beck and his moron chalk board.

  • all bill is saying is that people arnt thinking and not thinking causes people to be stupid

  • We are in a time in which we can turn on the tv and see Jersey Shore. Its hard to deny American people are getting stupid. The difference between Glenn Beck and Bill Maher doesn't have an hour to himself on CNN or NBC. He has a special on HBO that has seasonal breaks. that seems a little more appropriate. A lot of Conservatives that watch Fox News get to see Beck on a regular basis. I'm sorry Conservatives.

  • The very fact that CNN would call Maher to task over his statement is proof of how fkn stupid they are. Of course we are a stupid country. Come on... that we would even consider Palin as qualified for the presidency is proof positive... like we needed any other proof after suffering Bush for 8 years! Now, after trying to pick ourselves up from the ashes that administration left this country in, we are actually consdiering putting the republicans back in power! STUPID!!!

  • When majority of Americans can't even locate the Iraq on the map on the eve of the Iraq invasion, or when American high school students ranks behind many of the "inferior" countries' students on standardized tests, or when 2/3 of the Americans can't name 3 branches of the government, yes, Bill Maher is right. MOST AMERICANS ARE STUPID. He has facts to back up his statements, as opposed to borderline paranoid Glenn Beck.

  • How can you be stupid enough to pair Glenn Beck and Bill Maher?

    PS. America is a stupid nation, most people can't even find the countries we've invaded on a map of the globe (88% can't find Afghanistan, and 68% cant find Iraq), not to mention the fact that a good portion can't even find the US.

  • Is the USA stupid because it elected Obama President? Is it stupid because no one has the courage to oppose illegal immigration? Bill is not very articulate.

  • He likes white people but he is a racist. : (

    Smart

  • "Because Sarah Palin can be president"

  • Maher is right--Americans are stupid and glorify ignorance and elevate the uneducated. He has nothing to apologize for, he is simply stating a fact. The fact that Palin has attracted so many followers is living proof!

  • America is a stupid country and these three prove it.

  • Ah very well done. Showing a Video from Bill Maher saying "America is stupid", and right after that Glenn Beck saying "Obama is a racist". They coulnd't prove Maher's Point better, rofl.

  • Bill MAher is smart and right, Glenn Beck is retarded and wrong. EVERY TIME. It's not opinion, it's simply fact and science.

  • this john dude is a huge douche

  • Glenn Beck is a hell of a lot more one sided than Bill Maher is though...

  • @RebelliousHutterite2 totally agree. Comparing them, is like comparing a madman with a comedian.

  • This is one of my favorite videos. I think the female commentator said it best; at the end of the day, the people who say these things are going to believe them and no one will be able to change their minds no matter how many apologies.

  • Obama is half white!

  • the problem with this segment is that it pretends to be balanced and honest- it isn't. there are nuts on the left, I can't deny that, but they are outnumbered by the nuts on the right by about 6 to 1. But when they do a 1 for 1 trade, they misrepresent the reality and make it look like both sides are equally crazy.

    Just another insidious way the corporate media perpetually marginalizes the left.

  • ^Truth. Comparing Bill Maher to Glenn Beck? Are you fucking kidding me? CNN is such a joke.

  • Eh well its better than Fox news anyway..

  • Check out CNNNs stupid americans video on youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • I used to teach. It is shocking. Students don't study and parents don't help. You can't fail more than 2-3 students despite their poor performance, so you grade on curves. Kids get passed along without learning. When you do find a scholar in your class it's enough to bring tears of joy. Americans are stupid, not just ignorant. I know lots of people with almost no problem solving skills. But, I also know a lot of these same people who are clever, they know how to cheat and lie and get by.

  • @Melkesidek: This was the biggest failure of no child left behind. We taught kids how to pass tests and told teachers to grade on curves and cater to the least responsive kid in the class and not the best.

  • who disputes this country getting dumber and dumber?? How are these "journalists" unaware of all the immigrant brain power since us locals can't bring our mental "A Game". How about high school performances here versus Europe??

  • When that guy says Obama is a racist, what Bill Maher said is justified ... Simple !

  • Oh how I love the term jungle monkey. People are so sensitive. Some of my best friends are jungle monkeys

  • What? Bill Maher has backed up with facts many times that America is an incredibly uneducated country compared to other Western countries.

  • Wingnut of the week: isolating and publicly ridiculing people who are openly critical of the US government. AWESOME!!! and it's 'wildly popular!!!"

    Equal opportunity whether you're from the right or the left.

  • This is cute, moderates with opinions.

  • Wait, Bill Maher is a wingnut because he said America was dumb (and backed it up with facts)? The fact that Sarah Palin could be elected in this country is proof enough that this is a stupid country.

  • i know ,they assume some kind of centre ground that nobody has agreed to ,portraying bill maher's perfectly valid statement as an opposite to glenn beck's nonsense , bill should turn up at their studio and rip these lazy journalists a new arse.

  • Just another reason this is a STUPID COUNTRY!!!

    Thanks CNN

  • Well, that's why we need to start paying attention to some of the Third Parties. =\

  • What's wrong with Bill Maher's comment? He's dead-on. Any country who can "elect" a redneck cowboy as president twice is stupid. In my opinion, every other country not named Israel would not have made such a foolish decision.

  • That WingNut award went to Glenn Beck!

  • America is too stupid to be governed. Self governing takes a brain.

  • Those who can't govern themselves are governed.

  • Maher is 100% correct.You've got 73% of the Conservatives in North Carolina who think Obama is not an American-12% that either do not think Hawaii is a state or is not sure.BTW-Palin still having a political future would be mind boggling.Everytime she takes the stage she uses the dumbest RW talking point(euthenasia being the latest)as the crux of her appearance.She is stupid and lazy and was a bad Mayor and incompetent Gvr.She shows absolutely no desire to raise the level of discourse.

  • It's absurd to try to equate Bill Maher with Glenn Beck.

    The key thing here is that Maher is RIGHT. You need look no further than Sarah Palin's popularity for proof. There are still lots of smart Americans, but as a country we are getting stupider by the day. The fact that, what, 47% of voters wanted Palin as vice president is some pretty damning evidence, so spare me the phony outrage; the shoe fits a little too well.

  • Hillary Clinton is another stupid bitch too!

    oh wait she is a man just like Janet Reno.

  • Comment removed

  • lol, Bill Maher = political badass

  • Beck is a racist asshole.

    He's saying:

    To have a racial or ethnic identity other than WHITE constitutes, in and of itself, OPPOSITION to white people.

    In other words,

    "You can't TRUST a black president ... unless he seems really, really, really white in ALL his behavior, preferences, allegiances, etc.

    It's great to have a black person in a high position ... as long as he's a self-hating, wannabe-white black person."

    Fuck Glenn Beck.

    Beck's the racist, not Obama.

  • These people get up and arms about Bill Maher saying Americans are stupid, but they have an entire segment on stupid Americans. That is class.

  • Maher was right. There are way to many stupid people in this country, that's why we can never get anything done.

    Gotta love Glenn Beck, that guy makes insanity into an art form. I just wish all those stupid people Maher was talking about didn't take him seriously.

  • Keep in mind Maher, America may possibly (emphasis on possibly) have the slim propensity to elect the country, but remember that this is the same "stupid country" that elected Barack Obama as our current President.

    And with Glenn Beck...really, there's nothing to say. He's a stupid racist moron- simply put.

  • maher was right, CNN is so fucking stupid. Look who obama was running against.

  • lol I'm no republican and I simply adore our President, but I've got to stand up for Senator McCain on this one. He had a pretty good political record on him, and he fought a diligent fight.

    If McCain had a more organized campaign, if his organizers weren't so...whatever, and if he had chosen a much better VP (say, Condelezza Rice, for example?), the President would've actually had a fight for the White House.

  • These 3 are nuts.

  • Bill Maher is spot on with the Sarah Palin remark.

  • glenn beck is the dumbest person ever who actually listen and watch to this guy? i dont like bill maher but honestly people like beck and his followers represent the dumb america bill is talking about

  • This independent is a complete idiot he is using Bill Maher's line. He coined the phrase wingnut. I would respectfully have to disagree with Bill Maher. America is not nearly as stupid as he thinks, and Sarah Palin is never going to be President, has no chance. But Europe is smarter. And this guy is a joke.

  • i hope that you're right, i really do. i don't believe that america is by its very nature stupid, but i believe if catastrophe befalls it, its people could be lead easily down the road to doing stupid things by unscrupulous people. the iraq war?

  • Here are the facts people:

    1. You're a fucking moron if you support Gov-Controlled Medicine.

    2. You're a fucking moron if you think the Gov can control costs

    3. You're a fucking if you think your taxes and expenses won't SKYROCKET!

    4. You're a fucking moron if you DON'T already have Health Insurance

    It's not The MOnster's responsibility to support you and your fucked-up family. Get a decent job morons - this shit won't pass.

  • gee, you really like the word fucking. but, why are you fucking writing me a message about fucking health care when what i fucking wrote doesn't have fucking shit to do with health care (a subject I could give a fucking shit less about seeing as how i'm in the best fucking shape of my life)? matter of fact, now i hope it does pass just to fucking piss you off.

  • You're a fucking moron.

  • All populations can be manipulated by public relations tactics. So the fact that Americans are more subject to them means they lack political consciousness, like the person above you, not because they cant articulate an informed opinion.

  • tonya...

    You're a bitter, poor minority who wants The MOnster to support you and your retarded family.

    Face it dummy - Obama is finished.

    The millions of retards who drank his Shit Kool-Aid are starting to throw it back up...

    HAHA!

  • While I am not a minority(at least not in NY), nor am I poor, retarded family(only some of which is true)

    Im not an Obama supporter per se, but I think it is unlikely that he is finished. you aren't funny btw. Healthcare policy cannot be explained in 500 words, but if what you said is true I suggest you move to the UK, run for parliament on a platform of abolishing the NHS...and watch what happens.

  • Tony...

    Unfortunately for you, and the Brits, is that we're talking about Healthcare in the U.S.A., and not the failing system in Britain.

    Obama's plan WILL fail, and the people are pissed. In Nov of next year, the voters will give control of House and Senate BACK to Repubs.

    From there the Repubs will block every insane idea Obama tries to pass, rendering him impotent, and a one-term President...

  • if the british system is failing then why dont they privatize it? why didnt tatcher privatize it?

    As for obama's plan, it very well might fail, and is very inadequate. people are not pissed. the republicans are polling worse than the number of people who think Jesus will return this year. they dont have any chance of winning another election at all.

  • Yes... the British system is failing. That's totally the reason you'd be considered a nutcase for abolishing it there right? As for Obama's "finished" after a few months, I hope for your sake, you're attempting to vehemently troll instead of trying to make a valid point. As for the Repukes trying to block anything, you don't have the votes, organization, or support to so anything meaningful.

  • Edit: do*

  • Not in funding, just not being on top of their shit.

    Kind of like the US.

  • Sorry, I'm confused on what your reply was referring to. My post was being sarcastic in case that was not realized.

  • I'd be more interested in hearing France's UHC is failing, rather than Britain.

    It's France that leads the world in Health Care

  • You're trying to say he's finished after a few months?

    Either you're smoking something, joking, or watching too much Faux News.

  • Yeah right Jim Bob, and the klan will rise again! Lol. If Bush can survive 8 years of driving the country into the ground and get reelected I think Obama is ok after 6 months. The only person around here drinking shit kool-aid is you.

  • Oh yeah it also sounds like everyone that has commented about this all agrees america is stupid but i bet every single one of you won't admit it's you! It's the well Maher's not talking about me of course just you.

  • Maher is NOT right! That is the biggest problem with the left. You think your own country is stupid while driving your CAR, listening to your I POD, while on the INTERNET, and watching your FLAT SCREENS. I could go on and on. Why don't you ever appreciate the greatness of the life you have in America. It's a sad day in our country when celebrities and media elite call us all dumb but will take our money and jet set to the much "smarter" europe but wow what do you know they always come back!

  • Pop culture and Reality TV dominate airwaves.

    You can figure out how stupid America is simply by channel surfing.

    The greatness of America consists of turning on the tv and tuning out. Instant gratification leads to no patience, and always being waited on makes us believe everything must be handed to us.

    Sarah Palin was a heart-beat way from having one of the highest offices in the States. I feel Bill Maher is more right than you ever know.

  • WOOOH BILLY BOY!  truth hurts a bit !!

  • Mainstream media=DISGUSTING.

    I'd honestly rather watch Glen Beck, that's right. At least he's openly an idiot.

  • Yeah, you do have to subscribe to HBO to watch Bill Maher, but I really don't know why you'd confess to rather watching an idiot, open or not.

  • Disingenuous considering that Avlon screamed at Orley Taitz and Alan Keyes that they were crazy when Pilgrim subbed for Lou Dobbs and laid waste to the birthers' claims. Correct, but disingenuous.

    And Maher is right.

  • Maher may not have been tactful but he's right.

  • America is stupid....

  • I get why stupid people don't like to be called stupid, but just refraining from calling than dumb, doesn't make them smart!

  • leeroynaggins says Still others: think having a gun can help you defend against a totalitarian government...........YOU must have forgotten the minute men and the british. Still others, don't read history. Oh well, maybe little boy maher the comedian will give you all the history you need.

  • Dude, America IS a stupid country. There is STILL a debate over evolution... Millions of Mega-church members: support the "Creation Museum"... believe the "RAPTURE" is coming... believe "abstinence" is possible for teenagers... Still others: think the health care system is adequate... think the moon landing is a hoax... think having a gun can help you defend against a totalitarian government... think Sarah Palin would be a GREAT President...
  • Seriously, Thank you for pointing out why America is filled with Theocratic, corporate brainwashed, bible thumping, gun holding creationists.

  • @leeroynaggins okay.

    then i must be REALLY stupid.

    i am mormon and I (me myself) beleve god created the scientific properties for evolution to take place

    i do think a rapture will come but only because i see a war forming on the horizon.

    i have never had sex and i am 21 (even though i could have.. about three times now.) and even though a gun cant stop a totalitarian goverment... it sure can help

  • @dawnriku

    3 whole times?

    You better cool it down, Valentino!!

  • @leeroynaggins yes.. after the first three they stopped because i am moral like that.

    better to be celabate till marrage and think with the brain between my ears rather than the brain between my legs.

  • @dawnriku

    Well, you're not thinking with either brain.

    Ok, so you're 21 and either you plan on getting married right away or you won't be having sex for a loooong time. Years and years maybe.

    You're wasting your sexual prime for what?

    To make GOD happy?

    Does this not prove our point??

  • @leeroynaggins

    no. it dosent

    i dont do it to make god happy.

    i do it because i can honestly say that i have never been tested for STD's and will never get them.

    i do it because i will not get roped into a marrage by a girl saying "i am pregnant" when she is lying

    i do it because i can walk around with my head held high knowing i will not destroy a girls integrity by sleeping with her.

    so no

    you did however prove me to be a honest man. thanks.

  • @dawnriku

    Yes, you are. Completely, unbelievably, moronically stupid.

  • Yeah wow, you can really compare Bill Maher to Glenn Beck... Give me a break! What Bill Maher said is kinda true? A country where Sarah Palin could become president isn't a smart country.

    Besides, Bill Maher IS a Comedian. That's his profession! He's not a "commentator" or whtvr. He's a Comedian.

  • What's more disturbing is that Glenn Beck attempts to justify his misinformation and fear mongering with being an entertainer, not a commentator or journalist, on several occasions. Should see the video of when he was on the View.

  • I love how this dumb ass 10 year old news guy doesn't show the full clip to try to gain empathy for his point of view without letting people know where the comment spawned from. Entertainment news....what a joke.

  • although all people on both extremes are wing nuts in their own right Bill Maher is completely right 50% of this country has a two digit IQ and hes right on the fact that Sarah Palin is a legitimate candidate for anything but a dunking booth is retarded

  • Wow. This guy is clueless..... Bill Maher is not in the "Wingnut" category. I bet he's never even seen Real Time.

  • Man, is that woman stupid. "His mother is white." Boy, she's got this racism thing down, eh?

  • Every few years Bill comes right out and states the obvious (Americans are stupid) - which by the way is not a partisan statement. And every time is OHMYFUCKINGGODWHATDIDHESAYWEMU­STBOYCOTTHIM! Attention span, America?

  • I think the guy reporting is the WINGNUT of the WEEK! Many Americans are STUPID. LIVE WITH IT!

  • cnn needs to cut this segment. "he's fulfilling, embodying the stereotype of the media elite on the coast who always is trying to divide rather than unite." that's analysis?

  • Seriously. You're on CNN, dude. You ARE the media elite. Divide rather than unite? That's what they call a self-fulfilling prophecy when you pit the public against the media, via the media.

  • nice

  • maher is right i love that he is sticking to his guns

    cnn is stupid group of talking heads.

    glen beck is right but the race obama prefers is actually the blue blood royal family lines that run the banks and now everything else

  • If you start yelling like an idiot at a cop, you are likely to get arrested.

  • Congratulations, John Avlon, you just proved Bill Maher's point. Bill Maher doesn't represent "a party", or the left wing. The fact that this myth exists, and that you take it for granted proves it. If you hate Bush and the way the Republicans do business, well, it must be because you're a leftist. Like he said, stupid.

  • obama is a satanist ..hated by the right honored by the loonies. billy is really "smart". CNN's own ED calls religious people as "plastic jesus lovers"

  • More than half of the Americans interpret the Bible literally. They think aaall the animals was brought on the ark, and they think Jesus will return in their life time.

    If that's not stupid...

  • This counts as news in america? This is how your news reporters talk? Bill Maher is right, your entire country is moronic to tolerate crap like this news station and Sarah Palin.

  • Lets say I was a white guy and I had one friend that was part of the kkk and a mentor that was a neo nazi and my wife also hated other races. You would say that guy is a racist. People all around Obama is racist his close friends are racist. Michelle, Gates, Wright, Van Jones and John P. Holdren. Walk like duck, sound like a duck you are a duck.

  • OK, so this guy said that some people take name calling to the stream, yet he just name called those people wing nuts! how can he be so stupid not to see the irony of his statement?

  • but bill maher was right

  • Glenn Beck is also right.

  • Glen Beck is talking about him self.

    How is Obama gonna be racist when hes white?

    Beck speaks so much bullshit, its unbelievable and idiot right winged clowns swallow ut kuke a bitch swallowing cum

  • Glenn Beck should tighten the pud collar he has around his pudgie grimy neck and then shove his head directly up his bigoted racist ass. Total ass hole!

  • If what Maher says is true then I suppose he's talking about the majority of americans and we all know the majority voted for B.O. I guess Maher is calling it like it is.

  • that was touched upon later in the interview. he said something along the lines of "just because you vote for a smart person, doesn't make you smart."

  • Glenn Beck is fucking mentally ill I think. I have my disagreements with Bill Maher but he is right in what he says. From Chris Hedges book Empire of Illusion I quote this

    "Functional illiteracy in North America is epidemic. There are 7 million illiterate Americans. Another 27 million are unable to read well enough to complete a job application, and 30 million can't read a simple sentence.

  • There are some 50 million who read at a fourth or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third of the nation's population is illiterate or barely literate- a figure that is growing by more than 2 million a year. A third of high-school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives, and neither do 42 percent of college graduates. In 2007, 80 percent of the families in the United States did not buy or read a book."

  • Can you please supply a reference to your quote? Im writing a study about the education system in America and I would appreciate if you could supply a link to your quote. Thank you.

  • The Jenkins group did that study and that is where I think he pulled it from. There are other stats from other groups that confirm a similar suspicion.

  • Thank you Mjhavok.

  • I love it when people think that calling America a stupid country is like calling Obama a racist.

    It is quite clear that Obama is not a racist and that Glenn Beck is a moron. It is also quite obvious that based on our politics and based on our lack of an effective education system, we are a dumb country and have been for a long time (a few decades ago we elected Reagan and more recently Bush Jr and in the future maybe Palin?!?).

    Just because you don't like something doesn't make it untrue.

  • USA ~~ Still a racist piece of shit it always was.

  • Ffs.
