No need to squish the life out of him.

Liberals like Bill Maher created the toxic environment of SJW's that we live with today. They don't get a pass for anything imo

Just want to point out that Bill Maher is a member of the Libertarian party, and is not a Democrat (he has made this point publicly several times), so not sure calling him a Leftist or Liberal really applies as he and even the official Libertarian web page says they are not liberals/leftist. I find his political views to be mixed liberal and conservative. He definitely does not have liberal views toward Muslims.

Bill Maher is a bleeding heart liberal. He admits as much. Even in his rant about Islam, he mentions liberals with the term "we." He has some non-liberal beliefs, but he is far from libertarian.

Well that's just wrong.

Maher hates the SJW movement.

I like Maher and have no problem with what he said, but it is getting annoying how many people don't understand the concept of "free speech".

This is the real problem..if someone on the right says this they go down hard under an avalanche of scorn. The Hypocrisy of the Left is the real story here.

Bill Maher is the one who calls them pussies to their face. He definitely does not put up with them. Plus his stance on Islam is definitely not SJW.

I hate Bill Maher a lot but I watched the clip and it wasn't that bad. Certainly not intended to be racist. Republicans getting up in arms about this are just as bad as the snowflakes


I really don't give a shite, but if the shoe were on the other foot, the libs would be up in arms. Imagine if Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh said the same thing.

If blacks really want the N word to go away, they need to stop using it as well. The more they use it, the more it becomes acceptable for everyone.

He's not a libertarian. He used to call himself one, but then he realized the only major thing he had in common with them was wanting to end the War on Drugs. He's what we call a Classical Liberal. It's too bad that Democrats as a whole made the term liberal into crybabies.

Maher is a vital ally on the left in the war against Islamic acceptance.

You better start giving a shite because we need more left of center guys like Maher to start telling the truth about the Muslim culture. He's a voice of truth in an otherwise rediculous hodge-podge of bad ideas labeled as "acceptance" by liberalist.

I don't agree with 75% of what Maher says, but he isn't afraid to call a spade a spade and if you don't accept him in the fight against SJWs then you are abandoning a friend in that fight.

Then stand for your principles. If you don't like that it's come to this, then defend him and all others who may come under attack no matter the political affiliation.

But the "conservatives" who hope for his demise because of a hypothetical "imagine if Rush or Insert other conservatives mouthpiece here had done it are no better than those they claim to hate.

And there are a bunch of those on this site rubbing their hands in anticipation of his demise.

Did he ever give a reason as to why he opposed the ban?

Yeah, I don't agree with him on NASA, animal rights, the family system, or universal college (among others), but he is a champion of free speech. If Maher goes down for this, it's a huge blow for free speech and combatting SJWs and Islam.
