Oh, you mean Bill Mahr's oh-so-funny jokes like "For a few brief moments, America held the hope that OJ Simpson had murdered Katherine Harris." ?
Or the comment about suicidal terrorists not being cowardly vs US military actions? Do you actually think that saying the 9-11 hijackers purposefully killing innocents during peacetime wasn't cowardly, is not offensive?
By the way, Bill Mahr can be very funny, but he can also spout the most ignorant things.

If you can read, I suggest picking up something called a "dictionary" and look up "coward" and "cowardly."

Pretty much by definition, a suicide attacker is NOT A COWARD. They're nasty, callous, and evil, but not cowards.

The idea that a suicide bomber is a coward is laughably stupid.

What WOULD be cowardly is, say, building a bomb, then leaving it outside an elementary school and driving safely away...people have mutated the term cowardly away from what it actually means.

And Mahr WAS TRASHING CLINTON when he commented on how the US had responded to terrorism previously; we randomly lobbed cruise missles because we were terrified of taking casualties. Which was true.

I thought it was OK on FR to trash Clinton?

Everyone knows the right will always take heat for actions the left gets a pass on.

Look no farther than Bill Clinton vs Richard Nixon.  There's no question Nixon wasn't even in the same class with Clinton when it came to criminal infractions.  One FBI file was abused under Nixon.  Over 1,000 were under Clinton.  Which administration took heat?

When Bill Maher first came on, it was pretty obvious what his political leanings were, but he was still feeling the waters and his humor cut both ways.  Today Bill has become so obsessed with scurilous attacks of the right, that he seems bitter and one dimensional.  His attitude is course and his mannerisms so bother me that I'll turn the channel if he's on even for a moment.
