Maher Mocks WWII Vets: 'Nobody Said They Were the Brightest Generation'
On Friday evening, enraged at World War II veterans who had the temerity to move aside President Obamas barricades to visit the World War II Memorial, HBOs Bill Maher launched into a broadside against the brave veterans, labeling them dumb.
"The other thing that apparently was so important for the Republicans to keep open was the World War II Memorial in Washington. That was closed, so a bunch of the World War II vets knocked down the barriers and stormed it, Maher said, to the laughter of his audience.
And then I loved this, they posed for pictures with Michele Bachmann who showed up. Michele Bachmann, one of the people most responsible for shutting the fucking thing down. They're the greatest generation - nobody said they were the brightest generation."
Of course, that was a lie the House Republicans voted to restore funding for the National Park Service, but the Democratic Senate prevented a vote on that measure in order to heighten suffering surrounding the shutdown. In fact, the Obama administration reportedly rejected the World War II veterans request to visit the memorial before the vets moved aside the barricades. The administration then reinforced the barricades after the incident.
For Maher to slander World War II veterans as stupid for not kowtowing to despicable shutdown tactics is reprehensible. Before the war, they endured tremendous poverty during the Great Depression.After returning from World War II, veterans worked to establish the nations greatest companies in the private sector and infrastructure projects in the public sector; they were the driving force behind the growth of the planets best system of higher education.
World War II-generation men and women built America into the unchallenged hegemon on the planet. But then again, they didnt have a show on HBO.

His audience is so intimidated. They want to cheer the concept of letting the ball and chain of zionism go, but they are not sure how the "unreligious" Maher feels about the religious/racist entity.
