Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pure BS from B Maher

I would like to own a few sets of bleachers, just so me and a few friends could watch.

... is a given.

Who's Dave Miller? Somebody famous?

Just another thing he does not know about what he speaks.

I haven't watched Maher for any length of time in years. What I do remember of him was that he is just obnoxious. Being obnoxious has nothing to do with being left or right, he's just obnoxious and not funny. I think you'd have to be biased pretty hard left to find the guy funny because taken from an objective viewpoint most of his stuff is pretty uninspired. It's kind of like Ellen Degeneres, it seems like she has a show that launches and tanks about once every six months, then in a few months she's back on in another show and it tanks also repeating the cycle. The talking heads make it out like she's being discriminated against because she's gay when the real reason her shows tank is because she's NOT funny, which is kinda bad for a comedian. If she was actually funny people would watch whether or not she's a lesbian.

Maher is a decidedly third rate comedian who has figured out that since people won't pay to hear his mediocre comedy he needs to spice things up a bit by spewing liberal hatred.

I don't really think Dennis Miller is that funny either, but at least he's not obnoxious.

Well, he's funny to libs. Their point and laugh humor appeals to the clique' mentality. Libs are SOOO superior, they can do that with everybody...

No he is just a POS. I am sure we agree on this point so I won't say excuse me. _ LOL

Hark!

A boob on the tube was just saying that he didn't hold with such language, but wanted to talk generalities based on the first amendment. (Oh, if only they were half as zealous for the second amendment!)

Couldn't bring himself to say "Bill Maher" or "shouldn't've said any of those vile things about women."

I knew before a look confirmed that sho' 'nuff, 'twas a Demonrat.

Any with kin that are dems should take it out on them. They are the ones close by and should be the first to be taken out of the voting cycle.

Smarmy's a good word and the one that captures Maher in a nutshell. You hit that one.

Just took a quick look back � to times when comedians were witty and funny without having to be crude � and we didn't need dubbed-in laugh tracks to tell us when to laugh. Lying around on the floor listening to 'em on the radio was excellent wit training for kids of all ages. True wit serves both boys and men equally well. It doesn't get moldy or toxic with the passing of time.

For a long time now, "comedy" has given me the mental image of a couple of just-weaned boys down behind the hog pen, carving four-letter words into the boards, and giggling "Wouldn't Ma have a fit if she seen this?"

About forty, fifty years ago, the Brits set-up outlets for registered addicts to buy their "fixes" � clean stuff at reasonable prices.

But the addicts still went to black-market sources and paid more for sorrier stuff.

The thrill of defying society's opinion of such things was still a major driving force.

Such it is that the more that society comes to tolerate, accept, and approve, the search for the old thrill of defiance continues to push ahead into the offensive, the disgusting, the shocking ("Wouldn't Ma have a fit � ?").

The problem is that Maher mirrors perfectly the sentiments and actual hatreds of a huge segment of our population who sit smugly like him, and like him worship their own sorry intellect.

And pertinent to what another poster said about Dave Miller, no, I ain't heard him use offensive language either.

Who?


As to Maher - vile, the end.

Used to enjoy splittin' a gut laughin' at the likes of Carson, Brennan, Cosby, Rickels, Dangerfield, etc (long list of 'em).

Then comedians started to get into "blue" comedy, and my interst dwindeled. Now, it's the exception, rather than the rule, to find a comedian that appeals to my sense of humor.

Sad.
