Bill Maher, thinks it is funny

But all he is doing is showing his own hypocrisy.

Whiny little Dem that he is, wouldn't find that stuff funny if he didn't in fact divide people by race and gender. He is feeding his audiences prejudices.
Dems, in general, don't think people are smart enough to do things for themselves.
They think they need Big Government to do things for them.
People are not smart enough to cut down on sugar if they are too fat, or cut down on salt if they are hypertensive.
The people need government to force them to do it.
People are not smart enough to get their own insurance.
People are not smart enough to buy the food they want.
People need government mandates.
If you believe that of people, you can disregard what they say in Townhall meetings.
You can disregard what they say in polls.
