... I think Sam and I and Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Salman Rushdie and everyone who is basically making the same point, I think we all feel frustrated because I think we feel like the people who are arguing with us are not listening.

We’re liberals! We’re liberals. We’re not crazy tea-baggers, y’know, and so it’s kind of hard to be making this case — based on facts, based on polling, I think based on what everybody really knows… I mean, do the people arguing with us, would they really open a lesbian art gallery in Ramallah? [Laughs] Or Karachi? Or Cairo? I don’t know if they would back up what they’re saying with actions.

We are not bigoted people. On the contrary, we’re trying to stand up for the principles of liberalism! And so, y’know, I think we’re just saying we need to identify illiberalism wherever we find it in the world, and not forgive it because it comes from [a group] people perceive as a minority...

Affleck is nutty, too, with his liberal spin.

He's an ignoramus.

It amazes me that the left which is so sensitive to politically correct speech seems to throw out that obscene term without the slightest qualms.

[DoughtyOne]

Bill's uncontrolable focus on men who tea-bag other men, is instructional.  It's the worst thing he can think of to throw at the Right as a label.

So what he is actually revealing every time he uses this term, is that he himself thinks it to be the most despicable thing men do to other men.

If he thought it was okay, he would find something else disgusting to throw at the Right.  He doesn't think it's okay.  Well, Bill, that's one thing we agree about.

Other than that, you are a very sick man.

CORRECTION:

“We’re CRAZY liberals! We’re not crazy tea baggers PARTY PATRIOTS”

There. Fixed it.

[PATRIOT1876]

For all the PC the Left pretends to have they sure do use the insulting and incorrect term tea-baggers a lot.

hyp·o·crite

(noun) a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

[PATRIOT1876]

Principles of liberalism?!?!?!?

They ain’t no such animal!

[PATRIOT1876]

A liberal is a person who stands on his head and says the rest of the world is upside-down

[PATRIOT1876]

Sorry, a lot of us Conservatives in the TEA Party are not so steeped in the gay culture as most Leftists and celebrities. I suppose that's why you Socialists can't quite grasp that the proper term is TEA Partiers.

Also, the Left is so extremely ignorant of History, that they may never have heard of the original Boston TEA Party.

...or maybe they're just dirtbags whose brains haven't developed beyond schoolyard name calling...

[Sam Gamgee]

You bet. He will still find a way to blame his headless body on the Crusades, or other parts of Christian history.

[ExCTCitizen]

Bill Maher Dumb a**!!

[Objective Scrutator]

Bill Maher and his Leftist buddy, Sam Harris, are simply trying to shift the Overton Window.

Recognizing that Islam is a death cult is one of the most common sense positions a person can take. Liberals like Muslims because Muslims are easy for them to cast as victims and because Muslims also want to destroy America, but the more hedonistic liberals are not willing to tolerate the possibility of being forced to wear a burqa or a turban.

It is thus to the Left’s advantage to pretend that all reasonable criticism of Islam comes from the Left; the Left likes to pretend that right wingers only hate Muslims because they are brown, and are trying to push the lie that conservatives want women to wear burqas with their “war on women” gobbledygook. The reality is that liberals and Muslims agree with each other 99% of the time, both seeking to destroy America, capitalism, and Judeo-Christian belief. The reality is that almost all liberal women would be happy to wear burqas if that was the price of instituting Marxism.

Bill Maher and Sam Harris pretend to recognize the dangers of Islam, but if you point out the empirically observed fact that Soetoro is a Muslim, they’ll just laugh and call you a bigot. They are only saying what they say to keep the hedonistic liberals from converting to libertarianism.
