It has happened before, which is why he invites three liberals on his show to face the one conservative opponent. That way, if he loses one of the liberals, his side will still outnumber the other. I remember once liberal invitee Christopher Hitchens flipping off people in the audience for booing when he expressed his support for the war against al Qaeda.
Can’t stand Bill Maher...but even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while... he’s right on about Islam!!!
I recommend following David Burge on twitter
My theory on why Harris and Maher (both committed Leftists) are pretending to criticize Islam is because some of the liberal hedonists have finally grown to understand that Islam wouldn’t exactly tolerate their hedonism. Maher and Harris are trying to shift the Overton Window into saying, “All reasonable criticism of Islam comes from the Left, criticism from the Right is just racism.”, thus keeping these Leftists from becoming libertarians or genuine moderates.
Note that Harris is trying to make the empirically false “not all Muslims!” argument, and both Harris and Maher will also make the empirically false “but also Christians” arguments. Both arguments are deliberately constructed towards ignoring the millions of Stealth Muslims who will happily implement Sharia and special rights for Islam the moment they gain power.
My thoughts as well. Ever since college, I’ve been convinced that liberalism/progressivism appeals to mental midgets and intellectually dishonest people. Which is why I never waste my time or energy debating with them, because you can’t have a rational, fact-based conversation with an irrational person with an infantile state of mind.
His best role ever was as two-time high school senior O’Bannion in Dazed & Confused.
You’re over-thinking it. Maher and Harris just hate religion.
