Tonight on HBO, Bill Mahar took on the "birther" movement because, in his words, "In America, you know what, if you don't immediately kill errant bullshit no matter how ridiculous, it can grown and thrive and eventually take over like crab grass and cirque du soleil."

"In America," Mahar explained, "There is no idea so patently absurd that it can't catch on." The idea catching on here is that Obama is an undocumented alien, with no U.S. birth certificate, and his presidency is, thus, "illegal."

"Lou Dobbs said recently that people are asking a lot of questions about the birth certificate." Mahar continued. "Yes. The same people that want to know where the sun goes at night. And... where to put the stamp on their email. And you Dobbs, are their new king."

That's a perfect description of why Bill Maher has a TV show.
He's a scum bag, yet he he has a TV show that's popular with the hard-left, both of whom push the communist agenda.
Absurd, but yet it "caught on".
Absurdity, describing itself.

You said it.

He can rant and rave all he wants. That's his job. However, name calling and irrationality will not cut it. If Maher wants to kill the bullshit and stomp out the crabgrass, then he should request that Obama release his birth certificate and other documentation, rather than spending money trying to hide it.

For me, Maher equates to a mob mentality and the lowest common denominator. Bill Maher, who's to say that when the mob turns against you they won't stomp you out?
