I caught some nobody Comedian on Comedy Central imitating Bill Maher yesterday. It was fricking hilarious.

he is agnostic and libertarian. Though he is a very left leaning libertarian

Which is why he agrees just about 100% with every liberal on his show and disagrees just about 100% with every conservative on his show.

I will admit I don't know everything about the man, but it's painfully obvious from his show that he hates 99.9% of Repubs and conservative ideology.

He is smug, no doubt. And he does have some crazy notion that Republicans are somehow evil and Democrats are somehow not(they are just misguided).

However, I still find him funny. He does distinguish between Republicans(ie, the ones in power) and people with conservative beliefs

I hope everybody's smart enough to be able to do this.
I will admit, I used to watch his show quite often when I had HBO. He would make me laugh 50% of the time and piss me off the other 50%.

I didn't like when he said Major League Baseball was just a bunch of grown men hitting a ball with a stick, on Larry King Live.

That's it right there. It's not that he has his tastes and his view of the world, it's that he's dismissive of what others enjoy or believe in. So it's not, "I'm not really a baseball fan.", it's a dismissive statement and an eye roll that lets you know that you're beneath him for enjoying baseball.

But heaven forbid someone should be dismissive to George Carlin or Hugh Hefner or one of his other pop culture heroes.

The guy is just a tool.

I applaud the concept if not the delivery.

He's a very smug guy, which causes me to hardly ever watch him. But I'll admit that Religulous was extremely funny.

He could not talk about anything religious for an hour and you would still think he is a pompous asshat. He pushes his atheism just as much as he makes fun of people for doing with their religious beliefs.

You've just described 85% of all TD posters and 99% of Poli and OT posters.
