When you sound like an asshole, we all sound like assholes.
At a time when it is so goddamn easy to make fun of the right, this is the best you could do!?!
* Yes indeed your founding fathers were all for separation of church and state and science and rationality and treating everyone with respect. BUT to start turning this into a West vs East thing is not a good idea. Even if it were started by the Republicans, best not to propagate the myth. There can be well minded and meaning people in any part of your country, don't start getting people offside just because they live in California.
* Insulting small towns en mass... erm, not a great idea. While there are a lot of issues in small towns (boredom leading to drug use and young pregnancy being right up there... yes, the facts support that), it's not a good idea to piss off all small towners. There are good things in small towns too, more community interaction, more looking out for each other etc. Which can be very absent in the big smoke.
* Trying to put brunch up against going to church is just going to piss off so many people, including those in the 'elites'. I would pick brunch over church any day of the week, but trying to make people think it's a viable alternative to 'being a good Christian' is going to make them think so little of you and turn them against what you're trying to say.
I usually love Maher, and I agree with his views almost entirely. BUT, when there's an election at stake, and being in the public eye means that what he says CAN actually have an effect on the outcome... I wish he'd do it with a little more intelligence.
besides, i'd guess the majority of maher's viewers share his standpoints which is voiced in his typical snide asshole-ism... which can be funny.
