OK, what if Bill Maher had said: "I hope that Bush fails"?

Just leave it at that one sentence. "Fails" is the operative word in that sentence. Wouldn't the Republican party tear him a new one? You darn right they would. They would raise hell! You know why? Because a lot of them hate him because most of what he says is on point about this country, most of the time. And they would call him "anti-American" for saying that one word "fails". To them, you're not suppose to go against the President. Just look at how they try to silence people speaking out against Bush and the crap that he did. I've actually seen and heard a lot of them tell people: "Leave the country if you don't like our President. Move traitor! We don't need or want you here!" when Bush was still in office. Now look at them! Talk about HYPOCRITES!
