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



The Muslim Ban? Because it's stupid and ineffective when you don't include Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

So unless you get ALL the countries, it's stupid and ineffective?

Would people been okay with it had they included more countries?

Why don't you ask bill Maher about his politics?

There's a WIDE variety of beliefs in the political sphere that don't adhere to the simple "left vs right" doctrine.

Can I? Does he have a call-in or AMA? I honestly don't know.

I honestly don't know either. I bet watching his show would answer your questions and would be better than getting second hand info from a message board.

Your question assumes that OL knows if people would be happier if _____ happened as if he speaks for a group of people and their politics. And having been here long enough i know that the only two groups in existence are trumptards and cucks.

If ur going to do a muslim ban, ur going to ban a lot of countries.

Bosnia and many of the former Yugo countries
Several of the former Russian countries.
Nearly all of Africa

And since Europe has allowed these fools to infest, rather than immigrate, you should put France/Belgium/Holland/etc on the list.

Can't just blanket ban a religion.

He hasn't apologized in years, so I'm very disappointed at him for this.

His show is hardly a place where reasonable discourse occurs. He will get some person "from the other side of the spectrum", I will hear a couple of sophomoric jokes about Jesus or Trump, the crowd will scream for five minutes, and the segment will be over.

It was a rhetorical question.

I feel like that "controversy" was years ago, so my memory may be hazy, but I don't think it did.

Why apologize after the fact when you do something that someone doesn't like. You said it and there is no taking it back.

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.



He calls himself a Libertarian but the hates the actual Libertarian party due to craziness. They are an odd bunch during their National Conventions.

I am all for destroying him over this for no other reason than to show the hypocrisy of the left. Because they are already making excuses for him but if a conservative had said it they would crucify them.

That being said I hate Bill Maher and wish he would die of Aids, but I have always respected that he stood behind what he said and didn't back down. That respect is gone and he has exposed himself to be nothing more than another pussy liberal.

You ever see the clip of Sam Harris and Bill Laying into Afleck? It's great and the type of stuff that can happen on that show.

I love how Ben refuses to listen to the God's honest truth about the Muslim faith. He gets instantly pissed and shuts down all thinking (like 95% of the poli board, except on the right side of things)

i didn't know how HBO was going to handle this, its tricky and that's their golden boy


When he made the post 9/11 comments and lost his show then reappeared on HBO the show got better. So HBO has a huge decision on their hands. Showtime waiting.

He (per his own words) dates mostly outside his race.

No he doesn't. He calls himself a Liberal. He did back in the Politically Incorrect days but does so no longer.

Well Maher went down the same way O'Reilly did: the advertisers. They left over that comment Bill made about 9/11. The advertisers have no collateral on HBO. I am reasonably confident he will survive this and the only reason he apologized is HBO gave him the option to do that or be fired.
