SITWAP: "We cried wolf, and that was wrong."

Bill Maher
November 2016

"I've been doing this for 23 years on TV. I've seen a lot. I know politics. This is different. I promise you this will not make your life better. And also once fascists get power they don't give it up. You've got President Trump for life.

I know liberals made a big mistake because we attacked your boy Bush like he was the end of the world. And he wasn't. And Mitt Romney we attacked that way.

They were honorable men who we disagreed with and we should have kept it that way. So we cried wolf and that was wrong. But this is real. This is going to be way different."

  - Were McCain and Romney really cast as the devil though? I mean, there are always mouth-frothers - but a key part of the message against McCain and - Roger More Jan 12, 10:41 1
    - No one except Bill Maher, apparently. Oh wait, you said "credible"... -- nm* - znufrii Jan 12, 10:49
  - To me, president Romney was never as much of a concern as the license it would have given a hardline GOP congress. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 12, 10:06
