Now the challenge is: does this forum trash him for being so wrong on so many other issues, or does it applaud him for being right on this issue and welcome him to the fight?
I say, applaud him for being right (on this issue) and welcome him to the fight.
RE: Color me shocked that Maher actually gets this issue exactly right (for a change.)
His eyes are opened as he realizes that what happened to Donald Sterling could also happen to him.
He realizes that he might be next and he has to watch his mouth.
Even if he is right on this issue, he is still an a...hole.
Well said.
I’m with you. I’ll applaud anyone when they do or say the right things and challenge them when I think they’re wrong. In this case, Bill Maher appears right.
Applaud him when he (or any other liberal) allows a glimmer of reality to seep into their thick skulls. It may never happen again, but we should give credit when credit is due.
Well said. New converts are often the most fervent believers, since many of them arrive at the truth with fresh memories of being mugged by their former fellow travelers. Conservatives ought to remember that the Apostle Paul and Ronald Reagan were both activist enemies of the beliefs that eventually won them over, and to which they dedicated the remainders of their lives.
I'm not comparing Bill Maher to either of those men, but I welcome his voice in support of freedom. Such public expressions should be lauded and encouraged, especially when they cut against the grain of the speaker's own community and culture. Clubs that remain closed to new members can only shrink and die.
Makes you wonder what Bill says behind closed doors? I’m glad he finally gets it though.
