It might be par for the course, but liberal cable talk show host Bill Maher has once again done his best to offend with a distasteful and insensitive wisecrack about the U.S. military.
Maher launched into a rant on his March 27 HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher" about American soldiers still stationed in Germany and Japan and took a swipe at the soldiers, insinuating they were rapists.
"Forget about bringing the troops home Iraq - we need to get the troops home from World War II," Maher said. "Can anybody tell me why in 2009, we still have more than 50,000 troops in Germany and 30,000 in Japan? At some point these people are going to have to learn to rape themselves."
The cheap shots didn't stop there. Maher continued his schtick to push his point.
"Our soldiers have been in Germany so long, they now wear shorts with black socks," Maher said. "You know that crazy soldier hiding in the cave on Iwo Jima who does know the war is over? That's us."
Former Army Staff Sergeant and author of "House to House" David Bellavia, who has been recommended for the Medal of Honor and is a recipient of the Silver Star and the Bronze Star didn't take Maher's criticism lightly.
"While Democrats want to accuse the right in America of being hijacked by the talking points of Rush Limbaugh and talk radio, it is more than a little odd to me that the greatest minds on the left today are community organizers, washed up former sports commentators and stand up comedians," Bellavia said. "It's insensitive and hurtful."

Sorry, but as a vet I will not accept any apology from Maher. He's pulled this shit once too often.
-
I think it's time time to call DishNetwork and drop HBO.

I'd dearly love to see him try that sh*t again while standing at the WWII Memorial in DC. A$$hat would be a greasy spot on the pavement inside of 5 mins.

If his hair was on fire, I would not cross the street to whizz on him to put the fire out. :bird: him.

I hear you can put out a fire by repeatedly smacking it with a large broom, shovel, etc. :uhsure:
-
"Immediately following the broadcast of Real Time where Maher made his controversial quips he was beaten by a gang of soldiers who took umbrage with his comments."
Oh wait, that didn't happen. I guess that means Maher is just an asshole making baseless jokes at the expense of his betters.

if it were Maher and others of his ilk, i would prefer to extinguish the fire with an 'ice pick'

I was watching this show the other night when he made these comments.....there was little laughter, and what there was, was delayed and almost with an embarrassed titter....
None of his panel laughed...
I think I watch it just to see how outrageous it can be.

I never watch stuff like that. I can't afford to buy a new tv every week.

I'd love to see him try that shit again outside the comfort of his studio, with his adoring hordes, and all of his security.
Ignore him, he's a self-hating faggot.

I DETEST Bill Maher. Is he really gay?

Ask Mark Levin, not me.

I can not watch moonbats go one with their bullscrap...Everytime I turn on CNBC or even CNN lately, I have to change the channel....all the troop bashing and Obama buttlicking just raises my blood pressure.
