Bill Maher has new rule for Duck Dynasty-following Americans

Maher left his best statement for the last new rule: using the Duck Dynasty fiasco as his analogy for what Republicans have done to this country with smoke and mirrors, he had some advice.

“And finally, a resolution I have been asking America to make for a long time,” he said. “Be more cynical. Be less easily fooled. Case in point, all the people that are fans of these guys, heroes to all the rural heartland traditional values gun nuts out there. Except here is what we recently found out these guys really look like before they got their TV show, preppy assholes at the golf club wearing Tommy Bahama. That’s right. It is all an act, fat cats pretending to be just folks. And you fell for it. Take a hint, Tea Partiers. This is what the Republican Party is always doing to you.”

for the rich to exploit the poor for -even more money-. Those already rich twits are getting richer by wearing poverty drag, and pretending to be salt-of-the-earth type folks.

About as exploitative as you can get!

Oh, but remember, Mr. Duck Dynasty is the victim, here. Political correctness gone mad, etc.. etc... it's all bullshit propagated by more rich people and parroted by the audience captured in their disingenuous lie of a "liberal media."

When the RepubliProles who have been suckered for so long by the 1% finally wake up and smell the lies that Fox, O'Reilly, Limbaugh and the rest of the Chickenhawk Cabal have been selling them -- while they sneer behind their backs -- then there will be HELL for the Republicon SuckerPuppetMasters to pay.
