Maher: Republicans Are Nazis, Retarded; Election Is‘Referendum on Decency’

[See NewsBusters for more.] In the same episode that Bill Maher attacked Republicans as mentally retarded and compared them to Nazis, he insisted that this election will be a “referendum on decency.” In a live, post-Republican National Convention edition of HBO’s Real Time, Maher on Thursday lamented, “This whole election to me is a referendum on decency. Just fundamental decency. I mean, the hatred we have heard [about Hillary Clinton].” He whined, “People talking about how Hillary should be treated as a traitor. It's like the best thing that could happen to her is a painless death. What they should really do is, you know, tear her fingernails out and then shoot her.”
