re: Bill Maher Apologizes After Using Racial Slur On His Show

quote:

His own wikipedia page says he's a Libertarian

While I do t know what Maher considers himself now, I do know that I would never be silly enough to think Wikipedia is always correct.

quote:

---

I've literally watched him in an interview where he says he's a Libertarian,

---

I've seen him say the same but they were old interviews. Doesn't mean he hasn't changed his views a bit or who he sides with politically.

But he's not for small limited government, which is kind of required to be a libertarian. You're probably thinking back to interviews 20 years ago when he identified as such. It's been well over a decade since then. I'm a libertarian and disagree with half the shite he says.

I watch his show from time to time. He is an acquired taste. I don't agree with his political views often, he is a little too far left for me, but he does make some good points at times and says some funny shite at times.

Bill Who???

Bill is such a confused liberal

He wants to be Mr. Controversy but he's the first to apologize after being controversial. The sad thing is that he's helped create this environment where people get torn down for sharing their opinions.

This couldn't be further from the truth.

He's been outspoken against the apology culture in this country and how liberals have helped create it, and he's actually defended people like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly on several occasions. He often talks about how he hates the notion in this country that you should lose your job and go away for a quote, joke or comment.

He spent his entire monologue the Friday after the election excoriating liberals for breeding the discontent that turned off much of middle America and lost the election.

For all the hate people give Bill Maher, he's 100% correct on his opinions of Islam.

He has waged war on that religion.

This is also true.


He's a PETA activist/vegetarian, who has climate change doomsday views, and is pro drugs and free sex. Also wants to nationalize healthcare and jack up taxes to pay for it. Those are his liberal views.

But he's also very anti-SJW and Islam, who believes all sides should be free to say what they mean without losing their jobs.

He's a conundrum and I like it (although PETA is fricking nuts). I agree with probably 20% of his opinions, but I enjoy the show when they don't choose a dumbass republican to be on that is low hanging fruit to gang up on and mock. I like when they have a smart one that can defend themselves.

Fun fact: Ann Coulter is like his best friend. Its great when she's on the show.

ETA:

He had John Kasich on recently and it was a very fair and complementary interview.
