WASHINGTON (AP) — An Alabama congressman says comedian Bill Maher's comment that the U.S. military has already recruited all the "low-lying fruit" is possibly treasonous and at least grounds to cancel the HBO show.
Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus takes issue with remarks on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," first aired May 13, in which Maher points out the Army missed its recruiting goal by 42 percent in April.
"More people joined the Michael Jackson fan club," Maher said in giving a comic twist to his commentary. "We've done picked all the low-lying Lynndie England fruit, and now we need warm bodies."
Army Pfc. England was accused of abusing prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
"I think it borders on treason," Bachus said. "In treason, one definition is to undermine the effort or national security of our country."
Another fascist Republican. By all means, let's cancel the show because you didn't like what Maher said. This guy was elected to Congress? Every time you turn around another Republican is calling for someone to be forcibly silenced. For God's sake, unclench your patriotic anal cavities.

For God's sake give the guy a break, can't you see which state he's from?
He's a modern man mind you, at least he didn't call for a lynchin.
Why back in the day.., ah never mind.
