BILL MAHER: I saw Howard Dean on TV the other day and he said something along the order, he said the people in ISIS -- he said I'm about as Islamic as they are, you know, distancing the vast numbers of Islamic people around the world from them. That's just not true.

CHARLIE ROSE: It is true.

MAHER: It is not true, Charlie. There is a connecting tissue between --

ROSE: Behind every Muslim is a future member of some radical?

MAHER: Let me finish.

ROSE: I was doing that.

MAHER: There are illiberal beliefs that are held by vast numbers of Muslim people that --

ROSE: A vast number of Christians too.

MAHER: No, that's not true. Not true. Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion you should be killed for it. Vast numbers of Christians do not treat women as second class citizens. Vast numbers of Christians --

Never thought I would be agreeing with anything Bill Maher had to say. But he's exactly right on this one. Maybe there is hope for this athiest.

Gee - the little atheist guy actually almost gets it.
Charlie Rose, though, has chosen to be blind and not see islam for what it is. I guess it would force him to be judgmental, and his liberal mind would prefer suicide over being considered judgmental.

I loved it when Maher said, “I’m sure that you knew that.”

Meaning, “You idiot, everybody paying half attention knows that. But not you??”

This is becoming a recurring pattern with Maher. Something happened to him. He is starting to see the world as it is, not as the leftscum portray it. Just wow. /no sarc.

I saw Maher slamming Islam two years ago. He is good on this. I like to think that Anne Coulter got through to him on this.

Other than this...... I get HBO and never ever watch him

Maher is intellectually honest in the style of Nat Hentoff.

Most atheists don't have the cojones to slam Islam the way they do Christianity. Bill Maher is doing this and so is Richard Dawkins. But (atheist) Pat Condell on youtube has been doing this for years. He hardly bothers kicking Christians anymore.

I ain't falling for it...he's still a totally hateful pukeface.

"Miles to go" and all that stuff - before he turns into another Dennis Miller.

Wow, this is a must see and must bookmark.

I have a confession, any time I see a post in which a Freeper says "So and so (conservative or Republican) kills (some liberal)... I am usually underwhelmed and end up dissapointed.

This is not the case. Bill Maher leaves Charlie essentially speechless.

“Maher is intellectually honest in the style of Nat Hentoff.”

Charlie Rose wasn’t expecting opposition, but rather expected to get happy agreement from Maher, with his simplistic, leftie, anti-Christian, relativist slogans. To his credit, Maher wasn’t giving it to him.

So Charlie floundered around, looking like a whipped pup, hoping to find some some magic cliche that would right the interview and get it back on track. What a loser.

That's happening with a lot of left-wingers. Perhaps Obama is just what we need to show the left that they're wrong in a way that they can observe and believe. Hope and Change? Backfiring.
