BERKELEY -- Insulted by his statements about religion, some UC Berkeley students are opposing the selection of outspoken comedian and TV show host Bill Maher as keynote speaker for the campus's December commencement ceremony.

Cry me a river
He is repulsive, but right about that.
I literally am starting to hate liberals. Yes I know it is a sin but they are making it harder and harder everyday.
They sure don’t care when he slanders religions, but hate whe he is accurate about one.
No protest at Berkeley for this presentation

They are made for each other .... just write his anti-muslim remarks as a Slow Joe moment and get on with the commencement speechifying.
If he had said those things about Christians those Atheistic Marxists would have a parade for him.
Pray America wakes
I would love to see “person on campus” interviews using direct quotes from Koran and Hadith (without attribution) to get the students’ reactions.
This is not “liberals” protesting. It is a few muslims who must protest, Islam has been insulted. I bet there are only 20 of them, yet it makes the news.
If Maher could just figure out that liberals ARE Muslims without the Islam part, I’d vote for him for president.
Earth to Bill - you know that foulness you vomit on conservatives? That vomit you get paid for by liberals? How exactly are you going to convince those same liberals not to accept Muslims taking the vomiting to the next level? You got some philosophical moves up your sleeve, or are you just starting to get worried about that Muslim dragon your idiot liberal friends have by the tail?
It will be ironic if Bill Maher discovers that conservatives may not agree with what he has to say but will defend to the death his right to say it. Liberals will censor him and Muslims will issue a fatwa demanding his execution.
Exactly.
He’s not a pure enough leftist.
Muslim actions perpetuate anti-Muslim sentiment.
Fixed it.
You gotta lot of catchin' up to do.
Mine is sans apology.
In Soviet Berkeley, Bill Mahr is simply too right-wing.
Its offensive that any sane person considers UC Berkeley a “University”
“In Soviet Berkeley, Bill Mahr is simply too right-wing.”
Disagree! This is Muslims imposing Sharia Law on the rest of us. All of the folks involved in this are muslim. Under sharia you MUST punish anyone who criticizes islam or insults mohammed.
Liberals would applaud anyone insulting religion.
Was over visiting the Dummies earlier tonight. They’re split about this controversy. Some Dummies defended Maher, but a very large number are aghast that he would criticize innocent, sweet Islam. It’s racist to criticize Islam, don’t you know according to many Dummies. It was alright for Maher to blast Christians, but when Maher rightly pointed out the flaws of Islam...well that was just too much for many Dummies.
