No Price Too Cruel to Pay

Unlike, say, Bill O’Reilly, I think Maher actually believes most of the crap he says on air.

hindsight · 2019-04-15T23:38:57.349Z

President makes “joke” = Trump supports clap like seals.

Comedian talk show host makes “joke” = Trump supporters outraged!

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-04-15T23:42:00.037Z

I think he believes it too.

In the same sense that other comedians believe their routines.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-04-15T23:47:21.428Z

Keep in mind, this is the same Bill Maher who:

Lost his network show by agreeing with Dinesh D’Souza that the 9/11 hijackers were not “cowards”.
Dressed as *Steve Erwin with a Stingray Barb through his chest" for a halloween party a few weeks after Erwin died.
Was the host of the show - and instigator - of Christine O’Donnell’s remarks about dabbling in “witchcraft”

and a lot more things that I can’t bring to the forefront of my mind right now. These remarks are entirely in line with his entire career.

Typical.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-04-15T23:52:47.479Z

Yes.

These remarks are entirely typical of Bill Maher.

Phaedrus · 2019-04-15T23:53:22.764Z

I’m not talking about his monologues. I’m talking about the roundtable discussions.

Typical lib.

Typical lib.

I don’t know if you’re trying to refer to me, or to Bill Maher - but neither me nor him would fit the mold of a “typical lib”.

Him. Yeah he does.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-04-16T00:00:14.113Z

WuWei:

Him. Yeah he does.

No, he doesn’t.

He’s a stand-up comedian and TV show host - and he’s been very successful at both. He’s been in movies, and makes more money in a year than the average family will make in a lifetime.

He’s no more a “typical lib” than our gracious host is himself a “typical con”.

WuWei · 2019-04-16T00:02:59.913Z

Sean Hannity is not conservative at all.

WuWei:

Just to be outrageous. Not buying it.

A five minute clip or so showing that whole section of conversation is the only way to make a proper determination. I hate these 20 and 30 second clips that are purported to show “something” the speaker believes in or what have you. No context, phooey.

He might well believe what you say, but a 25 second clip sure ain’t gonna prove it. I watched a half an episode of his show about three years ago or something and that, so I really don’t know much except for clips I see here and there. Both sides have been accused of this same thing many times though, that’s for sure.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2019-04-16T00:04:27.261Z

WuWei:

Sean Hannity is not conservative at all.

I believe many people would disagree with this statement - as would, more than likely, our gracious host himself.

Argumentum ad populum.

A lot of people call a bull a cow; doesn’t make it so.

You mistake me. I am not trying to convince you that our host here is a “conservative”, in the sense that you define it. That’s irrelevant.

You’re almost right. Bill Maher is a Trump supporter’s cartoon caricature of a “lib”. Not a typical lib or, by extension, Democrat at all.

He says the same things your campaign clown train passengers do, but more honest.

SeaManatee · 2019-04-16T00:16:53.676Z

Maher’s opinions aren’t always great, it’s not exactly new.

I’m not sold on Veep either.

Typical cons…
