Bill Maher is known for his incisive wit; he’s funny and makes some valid political observations. If he was completely off-base, there’d be no reason whatsoever for him to be where he is today. He has been attacked in the past by social conservatives– perhaps at times deservedly so. On Friday, Maher lashed out at Republican senators for blocking the nomination of Chuck Hagel, who he emphasized is a “right-wing Republican, …and that’s not good enough?” Jamie Weinstein, (Senior Editor, at The Daily Caller) responds, “That’s not fair.” ‘ Meher: Not fair?! Jamie Weinstein: “They believe during the question and answer at Rutgers University he claimed that the State Department was controlled by the Israeli government–the Israeli Foreign Ministry controls the State Department…’” Maher: And it’s not?! Maher: “Based on every statement I’ve heard from every Republican in the last two years, the Israelis are controlling our government,” he said, prompting a huge applause from the audience.

Another thread to bash Israel. How odd. I go away for a few months, come back to see the anti-Israel threads still going strong and still by the same people.

even it it was true, would it be any worse than the corporations that run it now?

It would seem most people feel this way. Maher: “Based on every statement I’ve heard from every Republican in the last two years, the Israelis are controlling our government,” he said, prompting a huge applause from the audience.

Ah, so the title of this thread doesn't contain a typo. It does. The first word "mentally" was left out.

Let's warp the news! Let's bash some Jews! Let's turn the screws! They'll sing the blues! Satire for the uninformed.
