What’s with Maher lately? Wrote an op ed the other day that even GLENN BECK and his radio crew agreed with, now this. I swear they’re handing out parkas in Hell.
I have to admit that I’m stunned.
>>I take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but Bill Maher, of all people, eloquently arguing against hate crime laws. Strange but true.<<
The only parts of the USC/BOR that liberals believe in are the “promote the general welfare” clause of the Preamble and the 1st Amendment (for them not for others).
The hollywood left fears anyone who would potentially muzzle thinking, because they fear THEIRS will be the one muzzled. Muzzling conservative thought is a whole different proposition.
It is a strange oxymoron.
He’s a d bag, but he’s somewhat more honest than most other liberals.
Maher also recently called the Occupy Wall Street crowd a bunch of “douchebags”. It just goes to show that even a broken clock is right twice a day.
It is designed to humanize this fungus-of-an-America-hating-human by fogging his name-calling past with a counterfeit rhetorical countermeasure.
He believes none of this, there is NO reason why any thinking person should believe that the American Military-slandering, al queda-admiring worm has turned, as much as a micron.

Mr. Maher - Liberals give themselves a bad name.
I don’t feel jubilant over Maher’s move to the center. I kind of think that 1M was given and he was told to tone it down for the sake of the campaign. He is a snake, but it is interesting to watch him walk back a bit. As for Coulter, don’t trust her either. She has turned out to be a huge disappointment. All of them are elitists.
Maher might be arguing a right wing position, but one of the people on his panel is the “man” who flogged the story about Palin not being the real mother of her child.
Can you imagine a right winger writing dozens of articles suggesting that Obama isn’t the real father of his two girls and still being invited to appear on national television? (Unless, of course, the purpose was to ridicule and humiliate him....)
Maher is simply in industrial strength CYA mode.
The End.
He saw how easy Obama fooled Amerika now he is trying.
Even the most obnoxious leftist individuals will occasionally get something right. Maher is a liberal with some libertarian leanings, and will sometimes stumble into a good point or two. I am sure Karl Marx and Fidel Castro had their moments as well, but it doesn’t mean we should be impressed with either of them.
Such common sense! Any individual who purposefully injures or takes the life of another commits an act, or crime, which should be punished under a system of laws.
So-called "progressives" appeal to the classes, or groups, which they have created as voting blocks, by claiming to be able to read the minds of some criminals as being motivated by what they describe as "hate." Such dishonest manipulation of the law never was intended in the Founders' concept of "equality before the law."
Perhaps Maher fears that if conservatives gain power, they will somehow define his actions as "hate crimes," and, thus, he is seeing the disadvantages of allowing political groups to define actions motivated by "hate."
Thomas Jefferson stated:
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
I wonder if HBO subscriptions are tanking because of this wack job.
Liberals, Marxist, Socialist, Leftest... They are peas in the same pod, and ALL have a bad name. No single action does it, It’s the collective ! They are BORG.
Well, of course he argues against hate crime laws. Because hate is what he’s all about.
I think they both believe what they’re saying, 100%, both him and Andrew Sullivan.
And I agree with them on THIS.
Maybe it’s starting to dawn on Maher that ‘liberals’ are closed minded control-freak totalitarians.
