Bill Maher  Warning to Democrats Over Embrace of young radicals cheering on terror orgs

 

Comedian and HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher has delivered a scathing rebuke of what he sees as a dangerous shift within the Democratic Party, warning that the party is “doomed” if it continues to indulge young radicals who, he claims, cheer on extremist ideologies and turn their backs on American values.

Bill Maher Just Took a Flamethrower to Woke Democrats and Their Anti-American Base

During his Friday night monologue, Maher did not hold back in criticizing younger Democrats for what he described as an alarming embrace of anti-Israel sentiment and sympathy toward radical groups. “If the thought leaders in the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking that America is cringe and the people who run Gaza are great, the Democrats are doomed,” he stated, expressing concern about the growing disillusionment among young progressives with their own country.

 

 

Maher opened his remarks by referencing polling data suggesting many young Democrats are either ashamed of America or actively embarrassed by it. Mocking that sentiment, he quipped, “Embarrassed? Like America’s your mom picking you up from school?” He added, “You’re embarrassed to be an American? Well, guess what? The feeling’s mutual, because you have no perspective.”

 

The veteran commentator turned his attention to what he sees as a disturbing trend among young liberals who not only reject American values but also align themselves with what he views as oppressive regimes. “Their young people, their key constituency, not only don’t like their own civilization, they like the wrong one,” Maher said. “They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement. They chant for the Houthis. They’re chanting ‘We will honor our martyrs’ at Yale. They’re looking for love in all the wrong countries.”

 

Highlighting the contradictions in supporting such movements, Maher displayed images of women in full-body Islamic coverings and challenged the youth to reassess their stances. “Someone needs to tell the kids that America is not the society where women basically have no rights, where there is zero freedom of religion, and where dissent is punishable by death,” he said. “Our democracy may be on life support, but we still have elections. They don’t.”

 

He took specific issue with the slogan “Globalize the Intifada,” a phrase gaining traction among some campus activists. Maher derided the notion, saying, “As if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic revolutionaries is the answer to our problems.”

 

One particularly troubling example, Maher said, was a recent rally hosted by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where a Palestinian flag was hoisted over an American one. “What should have happened after that is, one of the adults onstage should have told their young loyal followers, ‘This is not a symbol of freedom. This is,’” he said, displaying a picture of the American flag.

 

Maher ended his critique with a broader swipe at what he sees as a pattern of indulgence by liberal elites. “Liberals are weak and woke – especially the White ones – and they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party,” he said. Reflecting on the last election, Maher continued, “It was all the gender stuff, the insistence that men can have babies and such. And now I fear that ‘We like the terrorists’ is the new that.”

 

Maher's monologue served as both a wake-up call and a warning to Democrats: either confront the extremes within or risk political collapse.

 

“Less than 1 in 4 Democrats under 30 say they’re proud to be an American. Fifty-four percent say they’re embarrassed by it. Embarrassed like America is your mom picking you up at school? You’re embarrassed to be an American?”

“Well, guess what? The feeling’s mutual because you have no perspective.”

Maher didn’t stop there. He called out progressive rallies where the American flag is disrespected—and the Palestinian flag is cheered instead.

“At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted in approval.”

“What should have happened after that is one of the adults on stage should have told their young, loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom. This is [American flag].”

Then came a warning to Democrats about where their base is headed.

“Problem is the energy of the party is with the young, and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good. So talk to your children and remind them you don’t really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All the shit you do all day, it was all made in America.”

“Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to bitch about America. That’s all American stuff. You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house, please. You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville.”

That’s simply Maher denying the perspective others have.

 

Larry Davis called it right on Bill Maher, Maher is now doing his best to prove Davis right.

So your speaking on behalf of Maher now and why he stated this............

 

How about its Maher's true perspective backed by some facts and that's why he expressed it rather than making things up and deflecting a real problem.

Is Maher right or wrong in your personal opinion?

His brand is righteous indignation and the older he gets the deeper he stoops to find it.

He’s right about this:

The right to bitch about America, protest, voice opinions, criticize the President, fly the flag upside down or burn it if you want.

 

All rights in America, but not rights in some other parts of the world, by example N. Korea ,Russia, and China.

 

The rest of what he had to say is simply playing to the rightwing gallery, which together with earning a buck under a changed political administration is another right he has.

 

 

[impulse]

Give the guy credit.  He's trying his best to get the Dems to be in a position to win the future.  By pointing out how utterly ridiculous many of their platforms are, and how badly they're resonating with the mainstream voters.  They do great with the lunatic fringes, but that lost them 2024.

So, you think if we had voted in a Democrat, Maher would sing a different tune?

 

I don't think so.

He’s trying to remain relevant in a changed world making assertions of what the ‘Democrats are’ in the basis of actions of young folk who he fails to demonstrate are democrats.

 

And of course dishing on the young, always an easy crowd pleaser for the reactionary right.

What shift? He sees idiots behaving badly and he calls them out.

Weak, very weak, of course the majority are dems. Another head in sand denial moment for you. 

 

Democrats still have a Gaza problem four months after Kamala Harris’ loss.

A quartet of progressive advocacy groups are asking the Democratic National Committee in a new letter to better engage with pro-Palestinian voters, according to a copy shared with POLITICO — a sign that the party’s rift over the Israel-Hamas war could stretch into the midterms.

Supposedly he and Ann Coulter have been a couple for a few years.  If so, she has definitely had an effect on him. 

Time to retire.  He already has a podcast.  Go before you're pushed, Bill. 

Vanity . . .

I find the reverse is also true: looking at 20-70 year-olds, it's the middle-aged folks who are the least consumed with righteous indignation. Those in their 20s are just as righteously indignant and dismissive of others' viewpoints as Maher, perhaps more. And that's because it's the people at either end of that age range who are the biggest targets of media propaganda. The media have brainwashed youngins to think that, as he says in the clip, "men can have babies," and that Palestinian militants would approve of the way that young liberals live their lives in the US. (Thanks to those fools, we got Trump Part II and now the nation is screwed. They straight-up convinced the entire nation that those were two of the most important issues facing the country, and so the majority of the country said to them 'No, thank you.' Thank you sooooooooo much, young liberals.) Meanwhile the elderly have been brainwashed by FOX News, News Nation, etc., to think that, for instance, Trump is a competent genius, and that poverty, violence, and drug abuse in the US would somehow lessen if only all of the Hispanics were kicked out of the country or sent to off-shore prisons. Insanity. And both of those extremes have been convinced that they are absolutely right and the other group is absolutely wrong. Pawns, minions, and drones, the lot of them.

Despite Bill Maher at 70 and all the other elders whining and complaining, it IS the younger generations world and they are getting it from the older generation. What kind of a screwed up world are we leaving them to inherit?

 

Minor and major wars all over the place, convicted felons, serial liars and sexual offenders running countries, I am 80 and I have done my tiny bit to try and change the world, and failed.

 

I would like to think that if I were in my late teens or 20's, that I would be marching alongside them and protesting as loudly as they do. After all what have we left them with as our heritage to them, that we can truly be proud of?

You should look at some anti-Trump/anti-Musk rallies. Full of unhinged 50s+.

[HappyExpat57]

The minute he slinked to the Mara-Lago White House to prostrate himself and kiss the ring, he lost what little credibility and self-respect he may have had.

[Magictoad]

That young Americans don't understand that Hamas is death worshipping cult. And that Hezbollah is a vile murderous terror group. And the poor palestinians are no better. No wonder Trump won.
