Gutfeld rips Bill Maher: Is Jeremiah Wright’s ‘arm up Maher’s sagging butt?’ [VIDEO]

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” Greg Gutfeld took aim at President Barack Obama’s ability to woo the media and celebrities, which he said have managed to make the election about the person Obama and not the country.

“So, tomorrow’s vote is about America, not Obama,” Gutfeld, the author of “The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage,” said. “Although for so long, he seemed to matter more than us. It’s not all his fault — he was indulged by the media and celebrities. Their propaganda would make a Stalinist quiver. The Obama-gandist shielded his failures and punished those not following the gospel. Celebs do this a lot. When saddled with a bad movie they attack the critics. Thing is, we saw this movie. It was four-years long, but it felt like eight. Can we tell Obama it counts as two terms? So, now it’s revenge, an emotional tit-for-tat. A vote for Obama is like applauding a Bill Maher joke — some people do it no matter the content.”

The Maher joke Gutfeld was referring to was on his Friday night program, where the host of HBO’s “Real Time” warned “black people” would come after Romney supporters.

“Hilarious!” Gutfeld said of Maher’s quip. “So joking that blacks are a violent threat is a hit with Maher’s applauding white seals. But since Obama got a million bucks from him, it’s OK. Who runs HBO these days? Is Rev. Wright’s arm up Maher’s sagging butt? He’s a puppet. It’s a puppet reference.”

Gutfeld used that to illustrate his point that the American people don’t need a “hero” or someone who is cool, but someone who “gets the job done.”

“So what’s beyond the election?” Gutfeld continued. “Well, whoever wins, we are always going to be the incumbent. It’s up to us to protect our future from bad ideas or we end like frogs in a slow-cooking pot, sleeping through our demise. As for Mitt, there’s nothing cool about him. Hero worship is impossible! The first Mormon president will never make Eva Longoria swoon. But to quote Tina Turner, we don’t need another hero — we just want someone who gets the job done. Is Mitt the guy? Why not? At least we aren’t blinded by cool. So as the cool kids orchestra a countrywide version of high school with Will Ferrell and Bill Maher acting as dumb jocks taunting the uncool, it’s your turn, it’s time for you, it’s time for adults again facing up to adult world. We cannot wait four years for Obama to grow up.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
