CNN Morning Show Names Bill Maher - Wingnut Of The Week On The Left.........

[global1]

because he told Wolf that - "This country is stupid". When Wolf asked him to explain he said something to the effect that any country that would entertain Sarah Palin as president - is stupid. When Wolf pressed him even further - Maher said - we don't have time for me to all the things that make this country stupid.

I happen to agree with Maher - does that make me into a Left Wingnut too?

[liberal N proud]

1. Me too

[OneGrassRoot]

2. This from the network who gives Lou Dobbs air time? Oy. n/t

[bullwinkle428]

22. WORD - major kudos to NPR this morning, as they did a piece on CNN

and their efforts to distinguish themselves as the true "serious news network", at the same time they allow Lou Dobbs to absolutely obsess over this pathetic birth certificate issue!

[marmar]

3. If so, I'm proudly a left wingnut.....

.... Man is CNN in the crapper !

[MADem]

4. Move over--can I sit by you? nt

[Hersheygirl]

5. I've been saying that for years.

Bill Maher hit it right on the head, a vast majority of this country is made up of very stupid people. Actually, it's the fault of the media. I guess I'll join the rest of you left wingnuts.

6. Of course Maher is correct

we live in a country filled with idiots. CNN just reinforces it by calling him the wingnut of the week. I suppose they want to advocate for all the idiot Americans, let em.

[JI7]

7. their wingnut on the Left is never as bad as the one on the right

it's usually stupid things like this Bill Maher example .

while the ones named for the right are always some violent , hateful types who threaten others.

[global1]

11. They Named Glenn Beck On The Right For His "Obama Is A Racist" Comment.....nt

[KharmaTrain]

8. So True Of Anyone Who Watches Chicken Noodle Nuze

I can't stomache anything on that network anymore. While Faux caters to the terminally moronic, CNN has staked their claim on stupid. From one of Wolfie's blowchunks questions to Larry King stretching his suspenders to the endless "commentators" who are anything BUT news...they pour on the stupid.

This isn't the first time I've been refered to as a Left Wingnut...and considering the source a negative from a negative is truly a positive.

[dynasaw]

9. Stupid and Proud of it

That's what's so amazing. Look at good ole Sarah. :-(

[Z_I_Peevey]

10. Isn't that just the cutest thing?

MSM thinking their labels are relevant.

Hey CNN! Our comedians are our most trusted news sources. You, on the other hand, make us laugh.

[sutz12]

12. When did Bill Maher become a "leftist?"

He's a libertarian.

[thunder rising]

13. Yet again the Republicans are stealing OUR names and phrases? Are they trying to steal "wingnut"?

Haven't we used wingnut for 7 years? Isn't that OUR description of the Republicans and especially the Christian wackos?

[City Lights]

14. Too bad Maher didn't have time to explain to Wolf how CNN fits into the equation. nt

[Raineyb]

15. So the wingnut of the week on the left is awarded for being correct?

CNN is so stupid they don't recognize how stupid they are.

[Echo In Light]

27. Especially, specifically for being accurate and correct!

Dictators the world over salivate over the prospect of being able to rule over such a docile, obedient, depoliticized citizenry rather than having to contend with a pesky one that actually challenges authority when it becomes tyrannical.

[ejpoeta]

16. god forbid you tell it like it is. we are stupid in this country.... it's not like it's a big

secret or anything.

[imdjh]

17. The difference between Bill Maher and the newsbots (even the liberal ones) is that Maher....

..... doesn't run to his mailbox every afternoon to see if he's been invited to dinner parties in Chevy Chase where a Democratic senator, a Republican senator, and an insurance company lobbyist are reminiscing about their days together at Gamma house and laughing about the show they put on yesterday for the cameras.

[Blue_Tires]

18. shit... they could have at least named a true leftist wingnut...

like me, maybe??

[Odin2005]

19. Us Left-Libertarians are wing-nuts now?

Oh, wait, we've always been considered wing-nuts because we criticize the incestuous relationship between corporations and government

[tularetom]

20. 50% of us believe the world is 6000 years old

40% of us believe the President of the US is not a US citizen,

75% of us believe in a big bearded guy up in the sky who knows everything about us and gets pissed if we don't kiss his ass (or at least pretend to)

and somebody gets called "Wingnut of the week" for saying we are a stupid country?

I think CNN just proved Maher's point.

[rurallib]

25. you mean there is no Santa Claus - crap!

[soleft]

21. Did they name a wingnut of the left on the right - was it Dobbs?

[DailyGrind51]

23. Hey, I live in Chicago, where we keep re-electing the same crooked pols, until they get convicted!

[rurallib]

24. CNN gives Maher yet another example of the country being stupid

letting a newsless news channel survive

[Echo In Light]

26. Good observation. The obvious stuff tends to sneak by...lol

[annabanana]

28. Stupid CNN.. The RIGHT wing are wingnuts... WE'RE moonbats!

stupid :rofl:

[Cha]

29. But, that's true..the part of the country including mediawhores

who would want palin for the president(gack) is fucking stupid.

So that makes cnn Stupid.
