I live in France, and people are really hateful too. I just think that a LOT of people are judgmental and love to criticize others. And now with social networks, they can express freely these nasty tendencies.
Believe me fella. That's a treat. In Korea you get waterboarded for drawing the president in a fucking bus stop. (And I lived in France too for 10 years. Great intellectual country)
규래김 You seem to have a twisted world view... You're saying that instead of allowing people to communicate, we should not let them? Fundamentally 'free expression' should be upheld, no matter the circumstance. Unfriendly people have always existed - if you can't deal with it. that's your problem. Speech, in and of itself, should not be a crime, no matter how much it is disagreed with.
Nowadays the only acceptable expressions are anger, hate, and sarcasm. Everything else is considered weak and something to be made fun of. The world has gotten sicker. And I am so glad I am not a part of things like Twitter. I am not a twit, so I don't
+Jennifer Wells You are exactly right. It's like we have taken a massive step backwards in every way. It literally reminds me of the playground bullies from kindergarten. They attack anyone they think is "soft" (i.e. anyone who has actual emotions, like you said) and they can't spell or use grammar, even though 99.9% of them were born and educated in America. It's truly embarrassing. We are living in the second dark ages.
Thank you for saying this - I've wanted to talk about this for a long time but I wasn't sure how. Emotional and social development and progress are nothing to be ashamed of!
the world has not gotten sicker...we have a much better way to communicate our hate,that originates from our childhood religious up bringing.you want nicer people,put religion in museums,never allow any one under the age of 21 to be told of mythology as fact....after there properly educated,they won't fall in behind people that hate you if your not like them...do as I say or else,IS THE MESSAGE FROM GODS.then you have those that believe its there job to clash with you for doubting magic.
A quite reasonable sentiment on Mr. Bowie's part, but as Americans have likely provided two thirds of his income over the past several decades, it does seem a trifle boorish to air it publicly...
That was just a gimmick for him to get noticed, a shock attempt. Bowie lives off Americans and America was built by his countrymen, the English. Read some history of the Kings of England, nothing is scarier and more fearsome than that. Murder, Barbaric practices, war, blood, beheadings, brothers killing brothers, sons killing fathers, uncles killing nephews, kings hanging their queens. I'M AFRAID OF THE ANGLO-SAXONS!

Anywhere you live in the world you will find fear, racism, and "fascism" is anywhere even where it is communist. The only thing better outside the US is healthcare coverage, but not in all countries. Only a select few in Europe and Canada. But if you live in NYC, it's healthcare is very "socialist" and generous. HIP of NY fully cover people who make less than $20 thousand and that limit rises a great deal with kids. So it actually benefits in healthcare in NYC to be poor. The US is a "MELTING POT", people from all ethnicities trying to get along. Where else in the world has that worked as successfully? As if there isn't racism in England, France, Switzerland (the worst), Canada, Russia? Even in Muslim countries they are killing each other over religion, people of the same race! Do your research before making such broad statements.
Deme Alex talking about "research" muslim and "arabs" are not a race... there are many things out side the US better than inside and some things are better in the US than somewhere else. but still the US is the only country I know where all not "white" americans get a prefix... native, hispanic, afro, asian ect and you still call them a race. why is there no euro american or somthing like that ? if someone is a native in a country in which he is still in ... should you not just call him american ?

Muslims are not a race and I did not write that, you assumed I meant that. You misinterpreted what I wrote. I said people in Muslim countries are fighting each other over religion and those people are of the same race, because the Muslim countries I am talking about are made up of people of different sects of the the same religion and the same race. Countries like Syria and Egypt. I did not write "Muslim race" anywhere. You don't know me or what I know nor what I have studied, so keep your assumptions to yourself. Also you wrote "of course we still have racists but not as many as you guys" Well prove it. Where is the research and statistics on that? Racism is a Northern European product which was imported into the Americas. The main reason the Southerners wanted slavery to continue was economical. It was the Europeans who went to Africa and kidnapped people into slavery to begin with. It is the Europeans who are still in Africa bleeding the people dry of their resources, along with the Americans. Now the Chinese have joined in. Where did Fascism and Elitism come from? Not the US! This country broke free of the idea that someone was not equal to another just because they weren't born into a noble or aristocratic family. The US also does not use terms like "Your excellency" in diplomatic circles, whilst all the Euro and African diplomats still do. You don't live here, all you know is what you read in magazines and watch on your skewed and biased media.
Deme Alex I do relax. You are right I dont live there but I visit the States a few times. So no not all my "assumptions" are based on "biased midea". I m curious and which race are all these muslims in these countries like Syria and Egypt ? Racism is not a "nothern Europe porduct" its as old as humanity and kingdoms. The Europeans didnt start slavery, again its as old as humanity itself. If you want proof read about Egypt or the the north african Nomads during the Roman Empire. You are right again Fascism and "Elitism" dont come from the US because it doesnt exist during the time when it started. Elitism is just a name Elits are again old as humanity. Fascism is also very old the first case I can think of was the Roman Empire and China I dont know much about them but maybe the Incas aswell. The name for that kind of behavior was indeed invented in Europe. Well I try to prove my point about rasicm here and in the US but I doubt you dont want any proof. A friend of mine is "afro" american who is son of a former soldier here. He never faced racial profiling by police or a shop owner which by the way is illegal here and in all west European countries I can think of. But he did experienced such things during his first trip to america and since than he faced it many many times there. He had no problems to find a job here but he had in the US his family is from a town in Missouri. But lets try something else when it comes to imigration people in the US often have no problems even with illegal imigrants if they are from europe but have much problems with even legal imigrants from South America. By the way the US dont need aristocrats the US made their own if you got money you are an aristocrat in America same goes for your "Elitism". So as you suggest I will have a glas of Dornfelder Wine and keep relaxing.
On the web not sure the reason your technique doesn't work. Although Im definitely hapрppy.... I discovered legaal appppplication on this site. twitter.com/aa24c4f8dc3a2af55/status/789420521322524672 Bill Maher New Rulеs on Hate Filled Twitter and othеeеr Social Media
I know he's just a comedian taking a hard line on politics and religion, but God Bless Bill Maher. Like Jon Stewart, he gives me hope through his inciteful off-color observations :-p
+John Trollston Yes we can. Bill usualy says that America is a dumb country. He should say that it is a dumb continent. Perhaps not Canada but still...
@@jasonspringer2983 - Oh please. I won't disagree with you about the batshit left, and Maher is anything but a hero. But let's not pretend that the right is the paragon of civility and good taste. Some of them (or if you prefer, some of you) are just as batshit as some on the left. If you can't see that, you're just not looking hard enough. "Can you give example of anyone on the right ever being a cucktard shitbag???" (Paraphrased ... but only a little.) That is your point here isn't it? You've got every transgression by any so-called liberal who's ever lived memorized ... so the only way to engage in this argument is to be as ridiculously one-sided as you seem to be. Then it's off to the races, with another phony debate. We've all seen how these halfass debates turn out, and "your people" are just as juvenile and steadfast as anyone on the left. If someone gave you a list of every divisive hypocritical thing a cuckservative has ever said and done, you'd likely spend the night wasting everyone's time with Bullshit like, "Oh that's not true, that's fake news," or "It was taken out of context." Or worse, you'd rationalize it somehow. Again, I'm not disagreeing with you about the left. I'm sure that won't stop you from delivering a completely absurd response, devoid of all reason but full of creative and derogatory adjectives and nouns -- or thinking about it -- but at least I tried, godammit. So ... the right never slapped a Hitler moustache on an Obama pic and made a goddam poster out of it? The right never squashes dissent by ruining someone's career? Puhlease. I know what you're thinking: "Aha! You've got no proof, you ignorant libtard!" But what's the point? You're only going to see what you want to see. And it's always gonna be that way.
Jason Springer Oh god the left, they made a big mistake with Bill Clinton. That one lie gave the right ammunition to go to their followers and show them that the left isn’t on the high horse anymore. You always criticized Obama, but when have you criticized Trump for the same or for something worse? Never. Because you’re gullible who fell for an elitist. The joke is that the right seems to hate elitists. But when Trump said that he was fighting for you (ofc he had not only no proof, but actual evidence that showed that his businesses were failures and cash grabs) you all fell for it. And now you go around and try to claim that you’re moral? Gtfo out of here, just watch Vice’s vid where they show you all of the clips from Fox news where if the guest disagreed with them they just called him a hater of america. Because that’s what Hitler did. He gave victimhood to the german people exploited their trust and then gave them a common enemy: The jews. I hope you see the pattern here. You know Trump on immigrants. So yeah, open your fucking eyes.
u got a pretty liberal use of the word truth there. bill goes on and on about left vs right (myth), yet doesn't touch top vs bottom(fact). typical neoliberal
@@expandingelectrons347that's totally wrong. He does that all the time. Watch some of his stuff here on YT and you will find plenty of examples. And it was even part of this video here. What do you think he meant speaking of 2 Americas?
Poverty and injustice creates hatred. We used to be a rich and just country so we had less hate. As the Great American Ponzi Scheme comes to an end, this hatred will only increase until our society revolts and are then subsequently crushed by the Industrial Military Complex which created all this poverty and injustice to begin with.
This hate happens in every country - not just the USA. And I'm from the Netherlands. There are books written about why good people can act like assholes (The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo) and the problem goes pretty deep. What contributes to this a great deal is the fact that people are anonymous online and don't have to face the consequences of their actions.
So true...this hate filled world... I conduct surveys for a living and I can NOT believe how many people answer their phones in the rudest ways imaginable... I could write a little book! I've been threatened menicingly by serial killers it feels like. I feel like putting a PSA out about the laws concerning conducting surveys...for one, it's not the same as telemarketers....AT ALL. I have never answered the phone like some of these negative people in all my life on my worst days. Hate filled to the max. Thanks for your show Bill... I'm a huge fan 💕 👍
I've got to agree with this. These people have always, and will always, exist. The Internet simply made tracking someone and sending them a hateful message so ridiculously easy that they are now willing to do it. In the past, hate mail took so much effort that you needed to really be motivated to do it. And it still happened back then.
What you as Americans does not understand. This extreme hatred has started with Obama, and his wife. Go and research why. Americans always had more than a fare share of idiots. Now it is mixed with a desire for instant gratification, frustration with a failing economy, less to spend. Not to mention a lost of pride in their own country. The politicians and university that fuel hate and a restriction on free speech. And the very corrupt US government, bend on destroying the economy and the American people.
Bill Maher you need to run for president cuz you have your ship most together than anybody I know and I love you man you'll be good president I know you would
anonymity is a double edged sword. it has both ups and downs, and honestly, I find it has more ups then downs, most of the crappy stuff that happens on line is only in text format, but a lot of good things that happen anonymously online lead to things like 3d printers, and funding for start up companies. (yes, it is unlikely those things would happen if it was government (and by extension big-company) regulated)
And yes, it is your relative anonymity that allows your to be just a bleep! There is NO way most hateful people would openly speak and act the way so many do in 'Real" life. Life is too short...Namaste and God bless!!!
+bongo155 Still unlikely to earn you a punch in the face :). ..of course, here, people get flamed back and shout at the UN about how harassed they are. There's that ;).
The first time I heard this joke was in 1975 in a "Doonesbury" comic. Kirby: I'm voting for Jimmy C because he is shrewd. He says he is going to make the government as good as the American people themselves. Zonker: But Kirby, the American people are a bunch of ignorant, hate-filled bigots! Kirby: Aha! Then you admit... he's shrewd!
Although I laughed during the video, I literally got sick reading the comments. TO: All of you who make the "New Rules" look as if he is being excessively kind...WHY?!!! What if, at the end of your life, your got to look back at your social media feeds...all of them? WARNING; This is not a religious or anti-religious statement...but just suppose your level of kindness was the determination of your "Afterlife" destination? Would you be proud to show them?!
In what way do hateful comments online differ from road rage? In both cases, people are isolated from other human beings, whether locked in a car with tinted windows or alone in a room hiding behind the anonymity of a username?
Well, I would think road rage has reason to cause rage. Someone is trying to get to work and you have some jerk off going 20 miles an hour on a 45 miles speed limit. Or someone cutting you or switching lanes, or someone not letting you over. But what makes someone so angry about a cheese cake factory?
i'm an Australian and to think its only Americans saying the hate filled filth on social media is absurd..,,,i think alot of the remarks made on social media is from the young and poorly educated or the just plain ignorant and arrogant..i personally would love to be able to go on Bills Show and give a perspective on what is thought of American governments,wars,religion,the 1% ers, the Military industrial complex,how out of touch elected politicians are towards the lower and middle classes, etc etc from an Australian who has grown up through the past 30 years experiencing the changing brought about by American decision making and its effects on other countries...so if your reading Bill i am free anytime your willing and kind enough to allow me to...cheers and peace
Mr. Johnson- Not only are your perceptions correct but, they are amazingly ... perceptive! The Nixon era had some incredulous scandals but only in the past 3 decades has our Republican Party become the collective recipient of the most un-republic conglomeration of imperialists, superstitiously-driven, poorly-educated, avariciously-driven and even ... racist concoction of 'humanity', never before recognized in our history! And guess what, ... it has not been 'by accident'. Cheers and peace to you as well.
Mr Johnson Not to split hairs, I agree with you, but America's elected officials are actually quite "in touch" with America's lower and middle classes, that's why they get voted in over and over. A good portion of lower, and especially (white) middle classes, aren't motivated by monetary issues, even if this is the dishonest face they present, they are motivated by bigotry, fear, paranoia, and hate (as the poster above me pointed out). The politicians that you see who actively legislate against the monetary interests of lower and middle classes are ultimately doing exactly what they were put there to do by their constituency. And it's quite possible that those politicians only represent a distinct minority of the population of the US, but they represent the population who *always* gets to the polls. Had 50% of eligible voters participated in our last election instead of flushing their duty as American citizens by sitting it out, it's possible that our government could look much, much different. We ultimately get what we deserve.
The last bit is particularly true. If there's one thing people are good at, it's redirecting blame for the pressures of society on the people around them
I must be strange. I have a very simple rule that I follow when posting online: don't post anything that I wouldn't say to someone's face. Guess I'll never be an internet warrior :(
What's sad, in the opening statement he talks about the horrible comments on social media. The audience laughs, but yet, I'm willing to bet, there are quite a few who make such comments (they are not exclusive to any one side).
No bullshit the guy who posted the last comment about Betty White went to my high school. Haha his name is Eric and he was so hyped when someone sent him the link to this where his tweet was shown.
imthedorf1964 nah he just occasionally would post random shit like for example if he saw Betty White on TV he'd make that comment... no bullshit man i came looking for this video because I remembered that incident.
a lot of it is the boredom of having an average and in many case poor life. nobody would have this much hate of they preoccupied their times with a career and family
Why should your class status or bank account determine whether or not you are a gentleman/lady? You can be penniless and still be a cultured, intelligent, loving, and kind human being. Rich or poor...some people are just jerks and they use the internet as open-season to express their juvenile tantrums.
/* Damned Funny Yet Truth-Filled Bill. The Truth Can Set You Free, Make You Laugh, , Enlighten You, and Kick You In The Ass. "The Hate That Hate Has Produced..." Thanks Man - Peace */
The best and I think most appropriate quote I ran across, dealing with this issue of a government being as good as it's people, came from American journalist HL Menken: "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." Right on point...
Absolutely true ! The seething viscousness of repressed people . Every time they are frustrated and repressed they must vomit their hatred all over everyone . This is the simmering caldera of pressure building below the surface ready to explode!
This hate that seems to have gotten into the hearts of our Country upsets me a lot. I've been blaming the Tea Party and Fox for spreading it so much. But it's a lot deeper than that. They just don't help it any.
Bill Maher! I think you re funny and sarcastic and I love your wit and I know you’re just being comedic but at the same time you are also one of the problems you talk about on social media

I know he's just a comedian taking a hard line on politics and religion, but God Bless Bill Maher. Like Jon Stewart, he gives me hope through his inciteful off-color observations :-p
Yes - I misspelled insightful on purpose
"God bless bill maher" do you even know this guy?😁😁😁
Unfortunately, it's a widespread behavior of this new generation. Here in Brazil it's the same.
+John Trollston What it does do is make a bunch of teens write racist things just to get attention.
+John Trollston Yes we can. Bill usualy says that America is a dumb country. He should say that it is a dumb continent. Perhaps not Canada but still...
Everywhere.
See above
Just as relevant today as it was 10 years ago. Well done America!
Bill maher is just a hero. anybody who puts themselves in the fire by speaking truth is a hero.
@@jasonspringer2983 - Oh please. I won't disagree with you about the batshit left, and Maher is anything but a hero.
But let's not pretend that the right is the paragon of civility and good taste. Some of them (or if you prefer, some of you) are just as batshit as some on the left.
If you can't see that, you're just not looking hard enough.
"Can you give example of anyone on the right ever being a cucktard shitbag???" (Paraphrased ... but only a little.)
That is your point here isn't it? You've got every transgression by any so-called liberal who's ever lived memorized ... so the only way to engage in this argument is to be as ridiculously one-sided as you seem to be.
Then it's off to the races, with another phony debate.
We've all seen how these halfass debates turn out, and "your people" are just as juvenile and steadfast as anyone on the left.
If someone gave you a list of every divisive hypocritical thing a cuckservative has ever said and done, you'd likely spend the night wasting everyone's time with Bullshit like, "Oh that's not true, that's fake news," or "It was taken out of context."
Or worse, you'd rationalize it somehow.
Again, I'm not disagreeing with you about the left. I'm sure that won't stop you from delivering a completely absurd response, devoid of all reason but full of creative and derogatory adjectives and nouns -- or thinking about it -- but at least I tried, godammit.
So ... the right never slapped a Hitler moustache on an Obama pic and made a goddam poster out of it? The right never squashes dissent by ruining someone's career? Puhlease.
I know what you're thinking: "Aha! You've got no proof, you ignorant libtard!" But what's the point? You're only going to see what you want to see. And it's always gonna be that way.
Jason Springer
Oh god the left, they made a big mistake with Bill Clinton.
That one lie gave the right ammunition to go to their followers and show them that the left isn’t on the high horse anymore. You always criticized Obama, but when have you criticized Trump for the same or for something worse? Never. Because you’re gullible who fell for an elitist. The joke is that the right seems to hate elitists. But when Trump said that he was fighting for you (ofc he had not only no proof, but actual evidence that showed that his businesses were failures and cash grabs) you all fell for it.
And now you go around and try to claim that you’re moral? Gtfo out of here, just watch Vice’s vid where they show you all of the clips from Fox news where if the guest disagreed with them they just called him a hater of america.
Because that’s what Hitler did. He gave victimhood to the german people exploited their trust and then gave them a common enemy: The jews.
I hope you see the pattern here. You know Trump on immigrants. So yeah, open your fucking eyes.
u got a pretty liberal use of the word truth there. bill goes on and on about left vs right
(myth), yet doesn't touch top vs bottom(fact). typical neoliberal
@@expandingelectrons347that's totally wrong. He does that all the time. Watch some of his stuff here on YT and you will find plenty of examples.
And it was even part of this video here. What do you think he meant speaking of 2 Americas?

Poverty and injustice creates hatred. We used to be a rich and just country so we had less hate. As the Great American Ponzi Scheme comes to an end, this hatred will only increase until our society revolts and are then subsequently crushed by the Industrial Military Complex which created all this poverty and injustice to begin with.
Some people hate because they have nothing else to say.
THis is where jimmy Kimmel got his idea of hate tweets !!!
This hate happens in every country - not just the USA. And I'm from the Netherlands. There are books written about why good people can act like assholes (The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo) and the problem goes pretty deep. What contributes to this a great deal is the fact that people are anonymous online and don't have to face the consequences of their actions.
So true...this hate filled world... I conduct surveys for a living and I can NOT believe how many people answer their phones in the rudest ways imaginable... I could write a little book! I've been threatened menicingly by serial killers it feels like. I feel like putting a PSA out about the laws concerning conducting surveys...for one, it's not the same as telemarketers....AT ALL. I have never answered the phone like some of these negative people in all my life on my worst days. Hate filled to the max. Thanks for your show Bill... I'm a huge fan 💕 👍
OMG Bill Maher is so funny it amazing :D
I've got to agree with this. These people have always, and will always, exist. The Internet simply made tracking someone and sending them a hateful message so ridiculously easy that they are now willing to do it. In the past, hate mail took so much effort that you needed to really be motivated to do it. And it still happened back then.
What you as Americans does not understand. This extreme hatred has started with Obama, and his wife. Go and research why. Americans always had more than a fare share of idiots. Now it is mixed with a desire for instant gratification, frustration with a failing economy, less to spend. Not to mention a lost of pride in their own country. The politicians and university that fuel hate and a restriction on free speech. And the very corrupt US government, bend on destroying the economy and the American people.
Always up for new New Rules, oh yea, luv you Bill Maher
Bill Maher you need to run for president cuz you have your ship most together than anybody I know and I love you man you'll be good president I know you would
4:39 a taller younger version of peter dinklage lmao
Exactly my thoughts.
+guitarman0365 really?? uhm yeah I guess so.
Isn't anonymity a wonderful thing. Small wonder many people dislike the NSA. They might just be identified.
The NSA post half those comments. Who monitors them? O.o
anonymity is a double edged sword. it has both ups and downs,
and honestly, I find it has more ups then downs, most of the crappy stuff that happens on line is only in text format, but a lot of good things that happen anonymously online lead to things like 3d printers, and funding for start up companies. (yes, it is unlikely those things would happen if it was government (and by extension big-company) regulated)
Christian Huang Intelligent comment? I don't think so.
John Benton it was a third comment I had to
And yes, it is your relative anonymity that allows your to be just a bleep! There is NO way most hateful people would openly speak and act the way so many do in 'Real" life.
Life is too short...Namaste and God bless!!!
+bongo155
Still unlikely to earn you a punch in the face :).
..of course, here, people get flamed back and shout at the UN about how harassed they are. There's that ;).
Elisabeth Bunnell Noell You have never heard or watched how the Nazis talked and acted publicly before they took power have you?
Right you are, Bill Maher!
lots of love & best wishes
The first time I heard this joke was in 1975 in a "Doonesbury" comic.
Kirby: I'm voting for Jimmy C because he is shrewd. He says he is going to make the government as good as the American people themselves.
Zonker: But Kirby, the American people are a bunch of ignorant, hate-filled bigots!
Kirby: Aha! Then you admit... he's shrewd!
You remember a cartoon from 40 years ago who are you marilu henner
I love your show. No elected official should be allowed to hold an office until you have properly trained them.
Although I laughed during the video, I literally got sick reading the comments.
TO: All of you who make the "New Rules" look as if he is being excessively kind...WHY?!!! What if, at the end of your life, your got to look back at your social media feeds...all of them?
WARNING; This is not a religious or anti-religious statement...but just suppose your level of kindness was the determination of your "Afterlife" destination?
Would you be proud to show them?!
In what way do hateful comments online differ from road rage? In both cases, people are isolated from other human beings, whether locked in a car with tinted windows or alone in a room hiding behind the anonymity of a username?
I Agree COMPLETELY
U GOT IT RIGHT BRO
bill rouse
Hey Bro! Nice to see you here!
You Know Bill? Thats Cool
Well, I would think road rage has reason to cause rage. Someone is trying to get to work and you have some jerk off going 20 miles an hour on a 45 miles speed limit. Or someone cutting you or switching lanes, or someone not letting you over. But what makes someone so angry about a cheese cake factory?
I love you Mr. Maher
Thank you up-loader, great 5 min as always. Keep it up.
You know, I could handle a lot until the cheesecake bit...
AmerginMacEccit Only a loser would post a hate tweet against a restaurant.
love real time you go bill. point out the facts
Anyone that is interosted in the truth about our politicians should listen to Bill Maher
lol. hello comments section. he's talkin about us. yay!
Probably the both harshest and truest segment from Bill I have watched in a long long time.
i'm an Australian and to think its only Americans saying the hate filled filth on social media is absurd..,,,i think alot of the remarks made on social media is from the young and poorly educated or the just plain ignorant and arrogant..i personally would love to be able to go on Bills Show and give a perspective on what is thought of American governments,wars,religion,the 1% ers, the Military industrial complex,how out of touch elected politicians are towards the lower and middle classes, etc etc from an Australian who has grown up through the past 30 years experiencing the changing brought about by American decision making and its effects on other countries...so if your reading Bill i am free anytime your willing and kind enough to allow me to...cheers and peace
Mr. Johnson- Not only are your perceptions correct but, they are amazingly ... perceptive! The Nixon era had some incredulous scandals but only in the past 3 decades has our Republican Party become the collective recipient of the most un-republic conglomeration of imperialists, superstitiously-driven, poorly-educated, avariciously-driven and even ... racist concoction of 'humanity', never before recognized in our history! And guess what, ... it has not been 'by accident'.
Cheers and peace to you as well.
Mr Johnson Not to split hairs, I agree with you, but America's elected officials are actually quite "in touch" with America's lower and middle classes, that's why they get voted in over and over. A good portion of lower, and especially (white) middle classes, aren't motivated by monetary issues, even if this is the dishonest face they present, they are motivated by bigotry, fear, paranoia, and hate (as the poster above me pointed out). The politicians that you see who actively legislate against the monetary interests of lower and middle classes are ultimately doing exactly what they were put there to do by their constituency.
And it's quite possible that those politicians only represent a distinct minority of the population of the US, but they represent the population who *always* gets to the polls. Had 50% of eligible voters participated in our last election instead of flushing their duty as American citizens by sitting it out, it's possible that our government could look much, much different. We ultimately get what we deserve.
Why is it that Australians day in and day out are consistently the voice of reason on every socio economic issue out there today?
Best new rule ever.
Best show on the air....smart funny and relevant.
This was one of the first videos I thought of when I heard the news that Betty White died.
Only Bill could say these words, OMG I couldn't 😂😂😂
The last bit is particularly true. If there's one thing people are good at, it's redirecting blame for the pressures of society on the people around them
I must be strange. I have a very simple rule that I follow when posting online: don't post anything that I wouldn't say to someone's face. Guess I'll never be an internet warrior :(
+Jack K ...Who'd wanna be?...
Character is what you do when people aren't looking
What's sad, in the opening statement he talks about the horrible comments on social media. The audience laughs, but yet, I'm willing to bet, there are quite a few who make such comments (they are not exclusive to any one side).
I can believe someone said that to Betty white
No bullshit the guy who posted the last comment about Betty White went to my high school. Haha his name is Eric and he was so hyped when someone sent him the link to this where his tweet was shown.
yeah he had it in his twitter bio forever... He said like "I Got on TV once [url link]"
+Sean Rojas Was he really angry at Betty White or did he just do it to get some publicity?
imthedorf1964 nah he just occasionally would post random shit like for example if he saw Betty White on TV he'd make that comment... no bullshit man i came looking for this video because I remembered that incident.
a lot of it is the boredom of having an average and in many case poor life. nobody would have this much hate of they preoccupied their times with a career and family
Angel Dust
It’s funny because it is so sad and so true.
Another sign of a moral decline and ignorance in society.
Brilliant humourist and satirist with a great intellectual depth.
lol!! poor cheesecake factory!!
Bill you are so funny
Note how everyone is LAUGHING to those "Hateful comments". Shouldn't they be shocked and appalled?
Wow, this is so true today more so than 9 years ago.
Thank you bill for speaking whenever no one else does it can
bill.. you're a God among men.. keep it up you are really fun to watch 😊
We need these voices of reality.
We're on a ship of fools.
Why should your class status or bank account determine whether or not you are a gentleman/lady? You can be penniless and still be a cultured, intelligent, loving, and kind human being. Rich or poor...some people are just jerks and they use the internet as open-season to express their juvenile tantrums.
I love Bill Maher ..... Awesome
Bill is the BOMB...................
You got it right nearly all the time.
Thank you Peter Gee. I am new at posting.

Bill Maher rocks!...so fucking funny!
Arrogant to assert this level of hate is merely a US pass time. It's rampant.
Bill, you're the Boss!
I wish I could buy all of Bill Maher's videos.
Brilliant !!!
Is that character actress Margot Martindale?!? I thought she was hiding out on the Escape from LA.
I'm guessing that "calling apple pie a cunt" was funnier in the writer's room because of the American Pie reference.
The best and I think most appropriate quote I ran across, dealing with this issue of a government being as good as it's people, came from American journalist HL Menken: "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." Right on point...
Maybe that person had a stomach ache after eating the cheesecake.
So weird to hear "cunt" said with an American accent. So nice to see an American show not bleep the naughty words.
I wonder if she could get away with wearing a Pocahontes costume at Halloween?
Yeah, Betty white clicking her "mouse" might watch that...once
People have always been like this as any one who's ever gotten a prank call or a poison pen letter will attest to.
"What's next?! Calling apple pie a cunt?" Lmfao
Absolutely true ! The seething viscousness of repressed people . Every time they are frustrated and repressed they must vomit their hatred all over everyone . This is the simmering caldera of pressure building below the surface ready to explode!
Nice segment
This pretty much sums up our present situation so that even I can figure it out.
This feels prophetic…
Thanks for making me laugh about all the maddness! It was too funny!
Oh look, it's Maher's point here to prove itself
This hate that seems to have gotten into the hearts of our Country upsets me a lot. I've been blaming the Tea Party and Fox for spreading it so much. But it's a lot deeper than that. They just don't help it any.
Majority of hatred directed at females by males.
Bill Maher! I think you re funny and sarcastic and I love your wit and I know you’re just being comedic but at the same time you are also one of the problems you talk about on social media
