Compare and contrast:
"Second, it really is low and cowardly when Maher says something outrageous and then, with that smirk, retreats to, “Hey, I’m just a comedian. I’m only joking.” He knows damned well that people (granted, mostly kids and Yuppies) take him seriously."
and
Michael Moore’s defense whenever his accuracy as a documentarian is called into question is "it’s just comedy, it doesn’t have to be accurate." (When asked on CNN about mistakes in Stupid White Men, he again responded, "How can there be inaccuracy in comedy?").
See the similarities? See the cowardice?
Moore and Maher. Two sides of the same coin. A two headed coin.
Both feel that they can say whatever they please, presenting it as fact, fabricating as they wish, portraying opinion as fact, and when called on it, say it is just "comedy."
Well, I am not laughing. I am projectile vomiting.
Just remember one thing about Bill Maher and Al Franken...
When you agree with them, they are to be referred to as comedians or satirists.
When you disagree with them, they are Jewish. How dare you be an anti-semite!
Bill Maher better hope I never see him in a dark alley, or anywhere else for that matter.
As for Churchill, he was such an inarticulate moron that Maher had to do all the talking to "help" him.
In an article by David Peterson, dtd 2-20-05, published on the ZNET, http://www.zmag.org, Peterson defends Churchill against the "racist mentality" of Churchill's critics!
Excerpts:
"I know and you know that this whole line of inquiry into Ward Churchill’s Native Americanhood betrays a racist mentality. Plain and simple. Dress it up anyway you like."
"Right now, Ward Churchill is serving as a proxy persona non grata for all of the personae non gratae academics to have run afoul of various establishment factions over the years. The subsequent focus, not on his ancestry, but on his Native Americanness [HIS FRAUDULANT CREDENTIALS, damnit!], is merely a case of the American racist monster [!!!] let loose upon the scene..."
"Churchill’s racist detractors [!!!] are hell-bent on excluding him from the academic community. So they’ve called for him to be rounded by the modern American Gestapo [!!!], and given the once-over by a board of race scientists [!!!] to determine whether he really is the offspring of American Indians."
Peterson implies we free-thinking and free-speaking Americans who DARE to criticize phony-Indian Churchill are "racist monsters." TRUTH IS: Churchill's false claim of being an Indian was a deceptive ploy, a BIG LIE to advance himself. Notice the author Peterson slithers into defining Churchill's "Indian-ness" as the object of Churchill's detractors' racism!!! Does Peterson assert that the disclosed fact that Churchill posed as an Indian to deceptively gain academic status has made Churchill the object of racism??? Peterson's premise is based on convoluted, left-loaded ill-logic: 2+2=5.
TRUTH IS...David Peterson is a student of Noam Chomsky, the
Linguistics Master. Or is it, Lingtwistics?
In a word,
"They hate us because they are hateful people."
The real enemies of the American People can be seen on TV.
The freaks ruined the best staion ever on cable, HBO. I won't even watch HBO anymore. It's a station for psychos and Maher fits right in.
