New York Times columnist David Carr said something really stupid on Real Time With Bill Maher Friday night. Maher was railing against New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for refusing to answer a question about his views on evolution. (The meat of the conversation starts at about the four-minute mark in the video.) Maher joked that it was OK for evolution to be challenged in Kansas or Alabama because they're not among "the smart states." To which Carr replied: "If it's Kansas, Missouri, no big deal. You know, that's the dance of
the low-sloping foreheads. The middle places, right? Did I just say that aloud?"
Carr has since offered this apology via Twitter: "To all of America, at least the middle place that I come from, I apologize for saying something so, so dumb on Bill Maher last night. #choke" Yes, so, so dumb. But Glenn Beck will not be outdone.
On his radio show Monday, Beck hit his usual panic button and attempted to link progressivism to Nazism and eugenics (see the full video below).
"This leads to death camps," Beck said of Carr's comments. "These are the kinds of words that always lead to mass death. ... Why not kill the low-sloping foreheads?"
How could we forget all of the genocides that began by offhanded remarks made on late-night talk shows. How could we forget Hitler cracking jokes about the Holocaust in the 1920s and '30s. The warning signs were there, people.

Here's an idea. Can we actually discuss things without insulting each other? Can we actually act like rational adults? Seriously, I'm just doing a countdown until we actually get taken over because we can't decide who should actually do the fighting, because both sides would rather lose everything than admit the "other side" has a point.
Bill Maher is only slightly more funny than Glenn Beck.I agree with Maher's politics but find him annoying and smug.Kansas/MO do suck fat preacher dick though.
LOL!!! Restoration, look it up, then you can figure out who owes who. BTW, please secede if you don't like it in our country, we did win the war.
The US is bankrupt because the Midwest sucks up an inordinate amount of the federal budget. The real 'welfare queens' are the ones living in East Jesus with Shirlena and their fourteen kids, so if you want to 'bail us out,' please for the love of God use a condom.
Hurr durr, etc.
As
someone born in Kansas (and grew up in TX, plus lived in 2 other states you hate -- OK,
MO) I'm honored to death to hear 'terrorist appeasing' 'America Hating' PANSY
ASS WEAKLINGS from The NY Times (and Bill Maher) compare Kansans to Alabamans.
You see
I've always respected most people from Alabama, they are not TRAITOROUS COWARDS
and would fight by my side to the death for this country's freedom. You, would
not, YOU ARE COWARDS. I'd never want you cowards next to me in any kind of
battle. AND US DUMB ALABAMANS, TEXANS, KANSANS, ETC ARE FED UP WITH STUPIDF_CK
STATES LIKE YOU BANKRUPTING THE COUNTRY WITH YOUR FAILED EAST/WEST COAST
NORTHERN POLITICS/COMMUNISM, THEN ASKING US TO BAIL YOU OUT!!! And I'll bet our
kids in Alabama/Kansas do better in school than your DUMB ghetto dwelling drive
by shooting pieces of crap for kids! And you have too many '''My baby's daddy's'''' pieces of shit up your way breeding and bankrupting the system, maybe if you BLEEDING HEART PUSSIES SHOT all of them you'd not be as bankrupt, you dumbfucks! Everyone is moving away from your BANKRUPT SHITSTAIN ON SOCIETY CESSPOOL CITIES to the south and midwest.
Really, people. It was a funny comment, meant to be funny. If David Carr had been serious he would have pointed out how the neanderthals in Kansass live in the only state where abortion is unavailable, making further reference to the fact that the governor of Kansass and his ilk want to keep those babies that they've placed in their daughters' bellies so they'll have enough hands to man the farm. Just kidding, of course.
If Tracy Ward is reading this she just jizzed in her pants when they mentioned death camps. "Conspiracy, conspiracy, police state, police state, blah, blah, blah.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched this on Friday night. I thought it was funny. I wasn't offended. Being from Kansas, I know that we deserve ridicule (I really don't want to list the reasons here, right now. I think we all know.) On the other side, I've heard Bill Maher stick up for Kansans on his show. I guess one might be offended if they happen to have a sloped head.
And no, Bill Maher does not = Glenn Beck. That's just ignorant.
"fuck this guy in the face with a hammer"
Not sure what that even means, but it seems to be an example of Abe's tolerance.
Glenn Beck = Bill Maher = Glenn Beck = Bill Maher. One just happens to be funnier than the other.
Y'know, when we have people like Todd Akin (Senate candidate) running around saying "Liberals hate God" it's not too far from "They hate our God! Kill them!"
Glenn Beck may be right but the low sloping foreheads will be the guards, not the prisoners. And it fuels the attitude that the middle is the home of the nutbags. Right, Michelle?

What a piece of shit. When will the left quit acting just like the right? These "progressives" think making fun of the midwest is chic, and in the same breath condemn everyone for not being tolerant enough. Fuck this guy, fuck this guy in the face with a hammer.
