A thread about Bill Maher

around the 50 second mark he says why Milo is on the show

3:50 they discuss differences

I remember people being upset about him being on there but Bill does that all the time. He brings "demons" on to see what they might agree on.

I'm on the fence about stuff like this. On one hand, it's good to challenge the bullshit, if it's done right. But there's another school of thought that these asshats shouldn't be amplified.

I get it but Bill knows his audience. I don't think anyone's mind was changed about this idiot but it is interesting to me to hear he had a black boyfriend and a muslim boyfriend. That does change the perception slightly even if it just makes it more weird that this dipshit is a conservative. Of course he calls himself a libertarian....regardless he was pretty much shoved aside due to his remarks anyway.

I also question the messenger. Bill Maher certainly isn't Edward R Murrow nor does he carry the cachet.

Given that journalism is dead and the way people get their, for lack of a better term, information, I don't think there'll ever be an Edward R Murrow of the day.

I have no feelings whatsoever about Maher. A coworker asked me a few months ago "what the hell is the deal with Bill Maher?" My response was "I don't even know what you're talking about."

(So I have no idea why this thread got so heated).

yeah I'm not clear either...he's a comedian with a political show that contains LOTS of comedy
