Uh, I thought for AFF_LACK it was “Stand on 17, hit on 16”. He should probably just head back to the casino and spend his time there instead of trying to discuss world events.
Affleck makes his living pretending to be other people or mythological characters such as Batman. He is skilled at parroting the words of other people. Its not surprising that he has closely held politically correct delusions. The real problem is that there are too many vapid people (voters) who worship celebrities and take this fool seriously.
Reasoning requires ability
Ridicule merely requires feeling
Ben Affleck is the poster child of the “why handsome/pretty Hollywood stars should shut up and just act” club.
None of those apply to Bill Maher
The stupid...it burns. Read this carefully...
“Harris explained clearly his view of concentric circles in Islam. He named three of them - Jihadists, Islamists and then the “conservative” Muslim. Harris repeatedly stated that it is these inner most circles (and not Muslims as a whole) that are the problem.”
Now read it again. And again. What this cones down to is that in order to be a ‘good Muslim’ by this whack job theory, A Muslim has to reject the very teachings of their faith.
This is nothing but White Liberals interpreting and re-defining Islam to better spin it for political gain.
When you lose a debate with bill maher based on common sense...well, you suck.
Most liberals live in echo chambers and can’t handle different opinions ... so they act like emotional babies when they don’t get their way
Sam Harris has a blog (Google it) in which he describes the confrontation and his belief that Affleck et.al. came loaded for bear. Keep in mind that Harris is an atheist whose overarching thesis s that all the problems of the world can be traced back to humankind’s irrational belief in a Creator.
Oh, wait....
An inconvenient truth.
I agree. This whole debate was just propaganda for liberal consumption. It was the "see, we can disagree" demonstration that is easily staged in the presence of beheadings. The argument is not about Islam but about how to identify "good Muslims" and "bad Jihadists" as if that is the only problem to be resolved.
He should actually frame that. It’s the closest to real wings he’ll ever get. Well, at least the angelic featherd kind. Now on the other hand, the more batlike or reptilian? Quite likely he’ll be fitted for those.
Be funny if Christian Bale bitch slapped him.
Any person debating this issue need only ask why it is that White Liberals know Islam better than the thousands of Islams own ‘clerics’, Mullahs and ‘scholars’ who are on record daily preaching the very things ISIS and co. are doing.
then ask the lib in question why they ‘feel’ they are smarter than those brown people.
Another point to discuss is why is it that the only voices of moderation in Islam come from political groups like CAIR when attempting to deflect criticzm and not from the average muslim on the street/in a mosque.
And make the lib answer. Never EVER let him divert or get off the subject until they answer or spin out and crash.
The punishment for such a crime? Ridicule, shame and - at times - outright abandonment. Whether that be a lifetime ban, or a specific time frame unknown to the victim. Just ask Juan Williams.
I'm not familiar with Tony Katz but this is pretty impressive stuff... Thanks for posting Kaslin.
You’re right. The most important skill for an actor is the ability to lie so convincingly it’s believable. Maybe we should chip in and get Affleck the book mentioned in this piece..

RULE 5: Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. There is no defense. Its irrational. Its infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions
That is why I say this was a staged event. Maher and Harris are supposed to represent the calm and reasoned liberal approach and Affleck represents the well intentioned but emotionally distraught liberal approach. Both sides are full of crap but the appearance of allowing dissent within liberal circles is maintained. Liberals are then given two wrong choices to create the illusion they have a choice.
