New Rules: Bill Maher to the Teabaggers - The Founding Fathers Would Have Hated Your Guts   Updated at 11:32 AM

MAHER: Now I want you teabaggers out there to understand one thing. While you idolize the Founding Fathers and dress up like them and smell like them, I think it's pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would've hated your guts. And what's more, you would've hated them! They were everything you despise. They studied science, read Plato, hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was mostly bullshit.

....

They were not the common man of their day. Ben Franklin studied scientific phenomena like lightning and the aurora borealis, and were he alive today, he could probably explain to Bill O'Reilly why the tides go in and out.

James Madison was fluent in Greek and Latin, and could translate Virgil and Cicero. John Boehner can't translate Fareed Zakaria. And Thomas Jefferson was an astronomer and a physicist who founded the University of Virginia, played the violin, and spoke six languages. Or as Palin would say, "all of them".

Maher is an idiot.

[NHSparky]

Maher wouldn't know any of the Founding Fathers if they in fact DID "teabag" him.

Hell, who knows--he'd probably like it.

[Ballygrl]

Maher is an idiot.

Maher also has a short memory, he forgot what side stood up for his right to free speech after 9/11 and which side ran away from him, hint, it wasn't the left that stood by his right to free speech.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Who really gives a shit what he thinks anyway?

[JohnnyReb]

Ben Franklin studied scientific phenomena like lightning and the aurora borealis,....it's a wonder he wasn't electrocuted and not only have I seen the northern lights I know why they happen. I don't think Ben did.

James Madison was fluent in Greek and Latin, and could translate Virgil and Cicero...and is that why they quit teaching latin in schools? The kids were getting to smart?

And Thomas Jefferson was an astronomer and a physicist who founded the University of Virginia, played the violin, and spoke six languages....and with just the slightest bit of effort kids today can learn more about the stars in a few minutes than the sub total of Jeffersons knowledge of them... seems most kids play some kind of musical instrument this days and he would puke if he heard "press one for English".

hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was mostly bullshit....they would be amazed at the fact they had to save Paris from the Germans...TWICE...and to say they thought the bible was mostly bullshit is pure bullshit.

Maher needs to borrow a few IQ points to come up to the level of idiot.

[Boudicca]

Eh, Maher has demonstrated what happens when a liberal puke rubs its two lonely brain cells together.  The resultant sewage dump is hardly a masterpiece.

[Freeper]

If the founders returned and saw what we have to done their country they would be amazed by the technological advances we have made. At the same time they would be disgusted with what our govt has become.
They would be sickened that an entire class of people is dependent on govt for every need in the land of freedom and opportunity they created. They would be mad that the tea party is something new, and not an organization that was started 100 years ago or more to protect the vision they had for this wonderful country.

Amen. While the Founders might have had some religious disagreements with most Tea Partiers, they would have nonetheless respected their views and their right to have them. They would not have presumed that a devout Christian faith instantly rendered someone foolish or dangerous. Many of them would have probably had little or no disagreement with most Tea Partiers on religious matters.

What they would have abhorred is the quasi-socialist welfare state that the Left (and the spineless ones on the Right who went along with them) have turned America into. They would have abhorred a nation full of lazy bums on welfare roles, illegal aliens bringing crime and taking away the few jobs that haven't been sent overseas, the murder of unborn children protected as a "right", the inability in most states of the common man to arm himself with a firearm and carry it freely wherever he likes, and oppressive taxation that makes the tea tax that incited a riot look like chump change. Not to mention the size, scope, and absolute intrusiveness of the federal government on virtually every level of the average American's life.

Hell, I could go on and on, but the point is clear - the Founding Fathers would have indeed abhorred one side of the modern American political spectrum, and it's not the ones who want to guide this country on the principles those men themselves put into place.

Proof of that?

[jukin]

Yep, the gentlemen that wrote the Bill of Rights would be all about an all powerful central communist state.

The CDP members in good standing are really going bonkers to an ever smaller audience.

[Red October]

I thought we were going to "tone down the rhetoric?"  Guess not.  I think it's pretty clear Joseph Stalin would have loved the crap out of Bill Mahr.

[ColonialMarine0431]

I really could'nt care less what that hook-nosed libTURD thinks.

News to Bill Maher, I hate your guts, you squirmy little worm.

[Varokhâr]

Yeah, so much for calming down on the violent and hateful, partisan rhetoric.

But that's the Left for you - one rule for them, another for the rest of the world.

[Mike220]

Holy shit, I guess based on that list I'm a liberal.

Studying to be a scientist.
Study astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology.
Have taken at various times Latin, Spanish and French. Intend to learn Hebrew.
Played the clarinet and trumpet and intend to learn to play the violin.

Been nice knowing you Rethug bastards. Guess I'm going to go sign up at DU now. Later. 

Seriously though, Maher is dumber than a 10 box of shit shoved into a 5 pound box.

[Chris_]

So we have a mentally disturbed, dope smoking,  22 year old kid living home with his parents spending his time on the internet immersed in weird role playing games, participating in conspiracy theory forums as a 9-11 truther moon landing and mars rover denier, blasting Slipnot on his I-Pod watching the Loose Change (Bush did 9-11) Zeitgist(more of the same and then some) “documentaries”,  obsessed with and possibly stalking Rep. Giffords all while prancing around in a red g-string and masturbating with his Glock (sounds a bit gay, a cross dresser too?) and somehow he had time to listen to Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and anyone else the left would love to blame, and take his marching orders from them?

What if it's found out he was a fan of Maher? That would be more in his demographic after all.

I guess if I was a Thomm Hartman, Randi Rhodes, Olberman, Maddow or Mike Malloy listening, Daily Kos, Democrat Underground, Truthout reading MOONBAT left winger I could buy that. But that would only make me as insane as Jared lee loughner, the real culprit in this mass murder.

[littlelamb]

He bugs the hell out of me and when and if at all possible I avoid him like DUmmies avoid FOX news

[miskie]

I can't be the only one to notice:

I actually saw something different looking at that Picture of Maher..

[olde north church]

You have definitely won with that one!

[JohnnyReb]

Maher just passing a few facts.

[GOBUCKS]

The Founders didn't hesitate to use the phrase "endowed by their Creator", and they didn't say "endowed by the Prophet", as our current jug-eared Kenyan would apparently prefer.

[delilahmused]

Dear Bill,

You ****ing idiotic tool:

Patrick Henry: “It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.”

John Adams: “ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

John Quincy Adams (on the 4th of July): “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?"

Benjamin Franklin: “God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel”

Alexander Hamilton (on the Constitution): "For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."

John Jay: “ Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

Chew on that, bitch!

"The utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. {these ideas} are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional."
