What has to be one of the most hypocritical statements made in the days of the tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona, has-been HBO talk show host Bill Maher was asked on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno about the shooting and Mr. Maher is citing blame on the National Rifle Association.
Yet again, even after all of the evidence was presented yesterday on ABC's Good Morning America concerning Jared Loughner's history, Mr. Maher did not even put the blame on the shooter himself. Instead, he resorted to objecting completely to the 2nd Amendment and blaming right wing extremism. Here's a man who obviously hates the U.S. Constitution.
He went on to further say that "the NRA should just change their name to Assassin's Lobby." He even encouraged applause from Mr. Leno's rather stunned audience. At one during the show, someone from the audience challenged Mr. Maher's assertion on radical right wing extremism. Mr. Maher responded to the audience member with rather sarcasm, asking "do you read?". He went further to say people on the left are not as hateful or crazy, as people on the right.
Incredibly, just seconds after making this comment, Mr. Maher went even further and stated "Newt Gingrich, and by the way, among the right wing douchebags I hate, I hate them, he said the Obama Administration is as much of a threat to us as were the Nazis and the Soviet Union..."
I guess Mr. Maher believes that just because he works in entertainment, he must automatically be exempt for spewing the same hate filled comments.
