VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-maher-mocks-horribly-misinformed-fox-viewers-praises-wisdom-of-european-socialism-on-cnn/
Immediately following the live airing of his own Real Time on HBO, Bill Maher gave CNNs new Friday night show Stroumboulopoulos when he appeared as a guest to discuss his take on the political media landscape. Maher used his time on CNN to take shots at horribly misinformed Fox News viewers and hypocrites who hate socialism.

Maher told Canadian host George Stroumboulopoulos that Americas big problem is that we actually do have a government as good as the people. He described Americans as very easily fooled and horribly misinformed. And in Mahers world, no one is worse off that the people who watch Fox News, who live in a bubble I cant even describe to youfacts never get in.
Thanks Tx!

Ask this of anyone bitching about socialism; "So what is it you find so bad about socialism?" Then savor the awkward moments of incoherence as you hear the mechanism in their minds grinding the gear teeth off.
