Video: Bill Maher interviews brother of Afghanistan 'hero' Pat Tillman | GrrlScientist Pat Tillman gave up a career in professional football to fight and die in Afghanistan. This very disturbing video is Bill Maher's interview of Pat's brother, RichardPat Tillman passed up a lucrative career playing professional football to fight and die in George "The W" Bush's senseless Afghanistan war. Named an American "hero", the circumstances surrounding his death remain suspicious and mysterious. This very disturbing video is Bill Maher's 25 September 2010 interview with Richard Tillman, Pat's younger brother. The least disturbing part of this interview was Richard's courageous response (captured on video) to religious comments made by Maria Shriver, wife of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Arizona senator John McCain as part of the eulogy delivered at his brother's funeral. "He's not with God, he's fucking dead," asserted Mr Tillman. "Thanks for your thoughts but he's fucking dead." Mr Tillman, who has a low tolerance for lies was clearly offended by the sentiments, stating that his deceased brother "was not religious."GrrlScientistguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
