I have to admit, there is no way I ever expected Bill Maher to turn on Obama.
Maher, however, has seen a bit of the light over the last few months.
Even so, seeing him out Obama as one of the biggest pushers of mistruths is not going to sit well with the liberal horde.
Obama Outed
Maher was discussing the new Disinformation Governance Board that will fall under the Department of Homeland Security.
Some conservatives have taken to calling it the Ministry of Truth, a sentiment Maher seems to agree with.
He stated, “[T]hey’re right to compare this to Orwell and the Ministry of Truth.
“It’s exactly what it sounds like. Now, when they first explained it, they mentioned two things that they were going to go after: Russian misinformation, I said, okay, I’m alright with that.
“Russia, that’s not us, and they are our adversary and they’re trying to hurt us. And then traffickers, okay, I get that, people coming across the border, you can tell them misinformation, that’s bad.
“But then, here’s from the Department of Homeland Security, disinformation is defined as ‘false information that is deliberately spread with the [intent] to deceive or mislead,’ well, you could have said that about if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, if you didn’t like that.”
That was clearly in reference to Barack Obama’s promise that we could all keep our health care plans when he was pushing Obamacare through.
Maher continued, “It said, [disinformation] ‘can take many forms.’ Okay, now we’re going faster down the slippery slope, including but not limited to the two I mentioned.
“Okay, so, government should not be involved in deciding what’s true or not true is, I think, what a lot of people are saying.
“And my follow-up question would be, who do you think the truth czar is going to be in 2025?”
I honestly don’t think we will have to worry about this new board in 2025 because I would guarantee it will be disbanded as soon as Republicans take back the White House.
