Bill Maher is a stopped clock. He’s truly a vile individual, but he’s right on Islam. He despises all religions, so Islam is fair game to him - One religion is as bad as any other to him.

His fellow leftists won’t criticize Islam, because the enemy of their enemy is their friend.

Liberals will argue that since most Muslims are dark skinned & inhabit the third world, that criticizing Islam is therefore racist in intent.

And their point is....?

Maher actually defended American Christians. Christians protest by eating at chick fila. Muslims protest by beheading you like a chicken.

They are afraid of muslims and hope to be spared their wrath.

Well, of course. Obviously we would have no problem with Muslims running rampant all over the middle east raping, beheading, crucifying, torturing, murdering, pillaging and ransacking entire countries - If only their skin were a lighter color.

“Maybe that Hollywood idiot [Affleck] should watch a movie called ‘Argo.’”

LOL, excellent comment!

“And virtually every free country in the world is in the Christian world.”

Just where are these supposedly free countries? I am unable to name one on the whole surface of the planet, Christian or otherwise.

It seems that when confronted head on about Islam Maher comes down on the side of being sane. It almost makes me wonder if his everyday liberal persona is just assumed for the purpose of making money. Have you seen this clip?

Maher is an equal opportunity hater of all religions.

Amazing, you have insulted a computer generated duck from an insurance ad. This must be a first, I salute you.

In this clip Maher actually acknowledges Islam as the worst “religion” on the Earth, he does not try to pretend that all are equally bad.

Do I care what Affleck thinks about the Middle East? No.

I’d rather hear what the AFFLACK duck has to say.

Affleck's first response to the indictment of the liberal double standard was to ask Sam Harris: "Are you the person that understands the officially codified doctrine of Islam?" To which Harris responded: "I'm actually well-educated on this topic."

Liberals like Affleck are such bullies.

Yeah, but it’s interesting watching these Hollywood types parrot the liberal line with contempt and hatred normally reserved for private communications.

DC insiders know better.

Washington DC handlers can teach Hollywood actors to temper their hatred of conservatives when in public... After all - the meme that liberals are accepting of ideas different than their own has to be maintained for low information voters. Even snide sarcastic ones like Affleck...

"Maher is an equal opportunity hater of all religions."

Actually Maher and Sam Harris have both said that Islam is an especially dangerous threat.

Then two seconds later Maher will say the same about the Tea Party.

Maybe so but he did refer to equating Islam and Christianity or any other religion as, “liberal bullshit”.

I always say to liberals - the Human Race - there’s only one...they can’t respond to that...something in the water does not compute!
