Bill Maher's Spirited Remarks - Down Syndrome

I just read about what Bill Maher said in one of his recent ramblings on his show...then watched the video clip. He decided to go all out on President Bush (wow what a stretch for him) and explained that he is stupid due to him having an extra chromosome. This completely crosses the line. Is Maher a child? Does he call people he doesn't like a faggot or a raghead or something worse?

I have a child with Down Sydrome and while he is just 3 and I haven't really experienced the "full brunt" of what the world is going to throw at him because of his condition, it is ignorant fuckers like Maher that move everything back a step.

I guess Maher thinks he is on another level. He is above it all and looks down at us and says what he will - hey they'll laugh - it is his show right? He goes even further and justifies his "chromosomal joke".

Here is an article about the rant:

There is a link on it with a video clip.

Please write to HBO (click link below) and tell them what an asshole Bill is. Thanks.
