I agree that having a formal education in politics isn't a requirement to have an informed opinion. My post was a replay to a poster that said we should not listen to Maher because he" has NO educational background in law, and NO educational background in politics!" besides O'Reilly.
But the same poster has in other threads praise the merits of opinions by Palin, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly etc. Most of whom have "NO educational background in law, and NO educational background in politics!"
He's got a point. On healthcare, many of my fellow citizens were completely mislead on points of it (death panels, rationed care, etc) and the same with a lot of other issues.
Look what it did for GWB. After 2004, it was pretty clear that the Iraq war wasn't going well, and it was clear in the news. He didn't change his strategy until 2007.
People believe what the MSM tells them. Fear and panic sells news.
The MSM is their bible. Just a look at some posts here can tell you that people don't even understand how the government works or the job of each branch of the government yet they have their "facts" from the MSM sites.
Both the administration and the media know this and play it to the hilt to sway public sentiment. Fear drives policy changes.
I mean this for both parties..each knows how to play up the fear to the press for their own benefit.
He is ugly enough to assume that he is intellectually superior to the majority
.
The Majority of people in this country, 80% actually are on an intellectual level appropriate to 5th graders, so it does not take much to be intellectually superior to the majority.

Where did you learn this statistic? I think that maybe you need to offer those of us who you think are in that 80% (unliberals) where you found that. I tried some search engines using liberal type prompts and just couldn't find that number anywhere.
I think that I once had a IQ very near that of Bill Maher but I am so old that I may have lost some since it was measured. I have never seen a 5th grader that could outdo me, but surely there is one or two.
Link, please unless you just threw that number at us.
It's amazing that a country that is full of so many "idiots" has created the greatest nation ever to have existed, isn't it? We have more freedoms, more rights, more of everything than any other place on earth. So much so no one wants to move away and we are fighting off people from moving here.
Bill Maher was up to his old tricks again, calling the American people stupid and saying they just don't understand the issues. Perhaps Maher doesn't realize that he is also (allegedly) an American, which would mean he just called himself stupid. The point is this is what progressives believe. You are incapable of making decisions on your own. Glenn plays the audio and reacts on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
sorry but i prefer somebody who can admit they are wrong
and who cares what john mayer thinks, he doesn't even have a top 10 song
he sucks, plays those same old worn out blues riffs from the 1920's
