"I don't care for the government. They don't show me anything."
"But you're on food stamps!"
"But I feel I deserve those food stamps, I have no employment."

"I hate Obamacare. I think it's retarded."
"But a lot of people in Mississippi need health care."
"Yeah."

You left out the racist stuff...

Interesting how lefists on this board only make hard hitting points when they mis-represent people. It's especially funny coming from the attorney who claims to be all about protecting the individual.

Damn lawyers, 99% of them make the other 1% look bad.

That part wasn't shocking.

No misrepresentation. He says before the clip that they interviewed at random and the interviews they didn't use were just as bad as the ones they did.

Not near as interesting as when the Howard Stern show interviewed people who were Obama supporters during the last election. They even asked one of them how he felt about Dick Cheney being Obama's running mate. The guy said he thought it was great.

And of course there is the woman who said she was thrilled Obama was elected cause now she wouldn't have to worry about paying her mortgage anymore.

But Maher is rich, and I thought you believed that incredibly scientific study that showed rich people are unethical? How can you take his word?

Come on dude. You don't get a pass on building a logical argument just because you're awesome in some other field. That is not how any of the posters you called out act or claim.

Funny stuff. I think Rebel is the "The south shall rise again" guy. SOAF is the Obama is a Muslim guy. Liberty is the bearded guy that says God should be in everything the president does. IAMATY is the guy who doesn't like blacks.

I'm not building any argument here. I just passed along interviews of Rebel, IAMATY, SOAF and Liberty. It's a joke.

If you take Maher at his word that it's some unedited random Mississippian off the street interviews, he's not misrepresenting anything either. It is what it is. If you don't want to take him at his word, that's fine. The "rich people are unethical" study certainly didn't conclude that every individual rich person is unethical, and I certainly don't believe that.

I got the joke. It was pretty funny. If you can't laugh at yourself you're a pretty sad person.

So you really don't think Maher had an agenda for this segment?

Quote:Maher introduced a segment that depicted various Mississippi men (all white men, and no women, despite the state being 51% female and 37% black)

That doesn't exactly sound like random sampling to me.

I can't wait to see the "inner city" interviews he is planning for "fairness".

I thought that was the Michigan lottery winner....?

Damn, Steele talking the most logic on there.... Who'd have thunk...

I don't think he is a Muslim, I think he is a usurper. Or is an usurper?

You made me pretty curious on that one. It's a usurper. Damn English, I'm switchin back to French.

I can.

Few things are more sadistic than seeking out impoverished, uninformed people, for the purposes of publicizing their poverty and ignorance, and of inviting others to ridicule them for it.

Well, something tells me that they really didn't have to seek the people in that video out based on the poll results from Mississippi and Alabama. All you would need to do is walk down the street and ask everyone you meet.

They were seeking out Mississippians. It just so happens that your average on-the-street Mississippian is impoverished, uninformed and ignorant. And I agree it's sad. We should help educate them, and maybe they'll be more liberal. :-)
