Maher tells conservatives: Do not try to claim former Apple CEO Steve Jobs - Daily Caller -Please don’t do it, right-wingers. He was not one of you. He was not a corporate type. He was an Obama voting, pot-smoking Buddhist. He wasn’t one of you. So don’t try to claim Steve Jobs.”
"I want to say one other thing about Steve Jobs – agree or don't," Maher said. "But, I know that he's one of the few people who liberals and conservatives both like, you know, in the partisan country that we live in. And I just know that the right-wingers are going to try to claim him because he was a giant success. Please don't do it, right-wingers. He was not one of you. He was not a corporate type. He was an Obama voting, pot-smoking Buddhist. He wasn't one of you. So don't try to claim Steve Jobs."
Maher reminded his audience and viewers Jobs was cut loose by the Apple board of directors, only to come back and run the company again in the late-1990s.
"He got fired by corporate America," Maher said. "Remember - he got his ass thrown out because he was a little too innovative. He didn't play the game the way they do."
