He's been anti PC for years and years and has had several controversial segments and statements due to this. most notably with talking about muslims with ben affleck.

Well he can call it politically incorrect if he wants but it isn't.

Calling Covid19 the "China virus" or whatever is only "politically incorrect" to his ilk. No one else cares and ultimately, neither does his ilk. You'll know this to be true the next time Bill drops trou and and golden showers the Trumper the same way the Trumper did those prostitutes in that hotel room.

The Hong Kong flu was the big pandemic when I was a kid. I never heard anyone cry over it being named the Hong Kong flu and I never heard it called the "1968 flu pandemic".

Hong Kong flu

"The Hong Kong flu (also known as 1968 flu pandemic) was a flu pandemic whose outbreak in 1968 and 1969 killed an estimated one million people all over the world."-Wikipedia

New name: The WHO Flu.

this is why trump went along with it so easily to stop calling it the china virus

anything trump is ok with they have to be on the opposite side, by going along with the PC pussies heknew they would insist on calling it whatever he wasnt calling it

Leaning left =/= deferring to political correctness. Correlated, but not causal.

Christopher Hitchens is/was the only left wing social observer I've ever seen who could mix his politics and rejection of PC culture in an intelligent way.

The averageness of Bill Maher could never compete with his intellect. Christopher Hitchens was everything Bill Maher aspires to be. His death was a genuine loss.



that's strange because Hitchens was a semi-regular guest on Real TIme and they were on the same page about Islam. For everyone feigning surprise here, Bill Maher has always mocked PC culture and has never been afraid to go after the typical liberal sacred cows. But I agree with you about Maher trying to emulate Hitch overall.

Republican, Democrat or Independent, the guy is clearly senile or in the early stages of it.

He's about as establishment as it gets too. He's the McCain or Romney of the Democrat party.
