Bill Maher To Leftover Occupy Movement 'Douchebags': 'Get A Job'...

Occupy Movement - Get A Job! - YouTube


The Occupy Wall Street movement is almost five months old and although some vow not to abandon their posts throughout the country, HBO’s Bill Maher says the protest has ran its course.

On Friday night’s airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher likened the Occupy movement to the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, which according to him has gone on too long.

“Let me ask about another occupation because this is, and you would be good on this, too, panel — the Occupy Wall Street,” Maher said. “Because similar to Afghanistan, when you occupy anything too long, people do get pissed off. And as I watch them on the news now, I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich, like you know what — get a job.”

According to the “Real Time” host, the leftover protesters were the ones that have strayed from the message of the whole Occupy movement.

“Only because the people who originally started, I think they went home, and now, I think it’s these anarchist stragglers,” he continued. “And this is the problem when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway. And I think that’s where we are now with the Occupy movement. They did a great job of bringing the issue of income inequality to the fore. But now it’s just a bunch of douchebags who think throwing a chair through the Starbucks window is going to bring on the revolution.”

I'm a fan of Maher and have been since he was fired from ABC's "Politically Incorrect." What he said is basically true but when anyone goes into an hour program and selects out three or four minutes they sure miss a lot.

For instance....working people in this country end up with 44% of company profits in wages and benefits....the lowest it has ever been. The only thing worse than that was after slavery when farm owners kept slaves and gave them a third of profits for farming the entire place. Also since 1979 the upper 1% has grown their income 232% while the lowest 20% has actually lost ground when wages are adjusted for inflation. Taxes on the wealthy are at their lowest amount in four decades and the Republicans would like to cut them more. Income taxes were adjusted to pay down the debt after WW2. During Eisenhower's Republican administration any earner who made more than $300,000 per year paid 91% of the excess to the government.

Something has to change....this bullshit ain't working.

Funny, on that some show, he talked about right wingers being the product of below average intelligent children. It's where their racism comes from and why they discriminate.

He also put up a posters showing that those making 100k to 250k support Obama by 20 percentage points and the poorest, especially Republicans, support policies that hurt them because Republican politicians prey on their ignorance, stupidity and lack of education.

If you're going to talk about his show, talk about the entire show.

That's because Republicans are convinced that their leaders "worked the hardest". They can't conceive of the FACT that their leaders have been bought and are working against their own self interests. They hate Obama, who wants to help them, and support leaders who want to screw them over. They have been been convinced health care is bad and education unnecessary. Can you believe it?

 

[paulitician]

OWS is dead.

 

[Rozman]

Princess Nancy will not like one of her own turning on her little darlings.

 

[paulitician]

OWS dipshits are so damn dumb. They don't even know the new DNC Talking Point is...'HOORAY FOR WALLSTREET!!' Just look at this Board, and it wont take long for you to see some of the usual suspect OWS dipshits here now suddenly boasting about Wall Street gains. Seriously, most Democrats really are ignorant & dishonest dummies.

The arrogant, egotistical pricks on Wall St. are so out of touch with ordinary Americans they don't have a clue. In all the uprisings in the world's history it ran the same. The well off began to take their status for granted and all of a sudden they were in the middle of a shitstorm.

 

[francoHFW]

OWS got their point across- everyone knows about the greedy 1%ers, and Maher's right.

Keep up the hate /Communists!! talk, dittoheads, and hanging your disastrous party...

 

[Rozman]

It wasn't all that long ago our resident lefties here
were joined at the hip with Princess Nancy and that whole OWS crowd
storming the gates of Wall Street with pitchforks.

Now they claim Wall Street Dow Jones as another one
of those many jewels being fitted into Obama's crown...

Go figure.

 

[hortysir]

OWS is still going on?

That's fucking hilarious.

I was shocked to hear it, too

Soo... you're saying you agree with Bill Maher then? Then you support OWS as it was started and as it will continue once more.

Trust me man... I know where Bill Maher stands since I watch him every week, and I know where you stand since I endure your stupid shit every day. You don't want to be agreeing with Bill Maher on OWS.

 

[francoHFW]

Of course the Dems are happy the country and Wall St. are recovering, dumbass dittoheads- we're NOT "un-American, no compromise GOP"(TIME) a-holes whose deregulation/ cronyism got us in this mess.

Change the channel and stop being dupes of GREEDY rich/corporations. NOT ALL RICH/CORPORATIONS, just the greedy a-hole ones. Get it yet? I didn't think so, morons.

 

[Rozman]

The Dems hate Wall Street until they want to use it to prop up Obama....

Unfreaking believable.
