BERKELEY -- Bill Maher intends to speak at the Cal's December commencement, despite demands to disinvite him, an appearance his critics say they will protest.

(Excerpt) Read more at mercurynews.com ...


TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
An online petition to disinvite Maher argues that he perpetuates bigotry against Muslims by linking their faith to violence, intolerance and oppression.


Which ironically is one of the few truthful statements to come from Bill Maher

Just maybe, the few on the left like Maher are waking up to the true islam and the muslims who prop it up!

Because he said it is ridiculous to compare Christians to Muslims in terms of violence and radicalism, his mind isn’t quite right enough for the tolerant left.

At what point does maher turn around and look at the @ssholes he’s been defending for decades and realize; hey, that’s me.

I hope they make his speech miserable and he goes off on a profanity-laced tirade. I love when the Left chases its own tail.

Maher is still a nasty, Left-wing A-hole who called Trig Palin a retard and Sarah Palin a c__t. Now that the nastiness is being focused on him, I wonder if it will make him reassess his own nastiness. I doubt it.

I find this interesting this morning I started out reading this post:

comments.
PARENTS PULL SON FROM CLASS BECAUSE SCHOOL IS TEACHING ISLAM
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3222011/posts

Along with noting the links in post 6 of that thread.

To now clicking on this post and the college students doing what? Protesting FOR ISLAM. The fear of common core brainwashing our Christian children into a satanic faith is by far too late. Satan is already filling the vacuum with his vile “religion” as our culture grows ever stronger in its protests of the Christian God.

I could not help but notice in this video who the camera captures in the crowd denying God 3 times:

You couldn’t write a better satire on the state of liberals today. Sounds like an Ayn Rand novel.

The vacuum is being filled, as you mentioned and the video of the DNC is indicative of how far we as a country have fallen from God.
Those of us who remember “how things used to be” must convince others to return to their faith.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he apologizes during his speech.

The worst part is that Bill Maher will trumpet this as a sign that he really isn’t an ultra-leftist liberal. I mean, these liberal protestors clearly show how middle-of-the-road he is, right?

This is like trying to choose sides in the Iraq/Iran war in the 80’s. I hope both sides lose.
