No one should be giving a-hole Bill Maher the time at all, Maher blames the victim, a beaten woman

[IrishBubbaLiberal]

Bill Maher is a smug, arrogant asshole.

Adam Parkhomenko :

Watching that video of Diddy beating Cassie to a pulp made me sick to my stomach and mad as hell.

It apparently made Bill Maher think she was the problem and Diddy was in the right.

Why the fuck are Democrats still giving attention to this woman-hating Trump-loving piece of shit?

1. Bill Maher is a misogynist blowhard and always has been, tbh.

He's just a little less subtle about it now.

[Silent Type]

2. Obviously, whoever this guy Parkhomeko is didn't watch. Maher made it clear Diddy is the rapist. He did ask

why she stayed with the abusing MFer for years when she had her own home and money. As he said, be like Tina Turner who walked away from her abuser decades ago when it was tougher.

He as went into help for women who donated have their own home and money.

3. Thanks

[Beaverhausen]

6. He has no business questioning why she stayed with her abuser.

And if you think it's ok that he said that, you have a lot to learn.

and what the hell does your last sentence mean?

[W_HAMILTON]

7. It's not what he said about Diddy -- it's what he said about the woman he abused.

And there's no explaining away what he said about her.

It was deplorable.

[tishaLA]

8. But Ms Turner stayed with Ike for more than a decade

And both men used the woman's career as a way of keeping them under their thumbs.....or fists.

[Littlered]

9. Thanks for trying

To clear that up.

[obamanut2012]

21. They cleared nothing up -- Maher is a victim blamer

[Littlered]

24. I find him

To be insightful. I have, at times been made uncomfortable by some of his statements. But I attribute that to forcing me to examine my beliefs on certain topics.

He is a Democrat after all. And the cardinal rule here is to not speak ill of fellow dems. So I’ll leave it at that.

[SocialDemocrat61]

26. Maher is not a Democrat and never has been

He is a self proclaimed independent and libertarian.

[marble falls]

29. Great attitude wasted on a despicable twerp. He lost me when he called apologized to GWB, a "sitting wartime President".

[Quiet Em]

12. By asking that he is showing how completely ignorant he is on the issue.

He doesn't seem to understand the fear, the sheer terror domestic violence victims go through. They fear that leaving will lead to a severe beating or death. He doesn't understand how the violence has led them to have extremely low self esteem and self confidence. He doesn't understand how isolated they feel. How depressed they feel. How embarrassed they feel.

[question everything]

16. The clip. Yes, with his jokes but the message is clear

19. Tina stayed with Ike as well

Cassie was with Diddy for about 10 years and then she had the courage to leave. Tina stayed with Ike for about the same amount of thime. Maher is an dumb A-hole. Most women don't leave after the first abusive event. What make me mad about Maher is that he always tinks he knows what he is talking about and don't know anything. His arrogance is sickening

[marble falls]

28. Welcome to DU.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. Welcome to DU

[obamanut2012]

20. That poster was right and you are mistaken -- Maher 100% blamed her

You yourself just agreed with him! Why?

My God, this is so disturbing to see stated on DU. You victim blamed her.

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. Because some people

spend more of their time here defending the corrupt corporate media than defending democrats. But they are easy to spot

[Paladin]

4. Maher deserves zero support from any Democrat. (nt)

[Clouds Passing]

5. Maher is a sleazebag.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. I think he's just sleazy. You never know

how much is just their schtick that brings in viewers and how much is the real them but he just seems sleazy to me..

Did you see where he owns a pot shop with Woody Harrelson? It got robbed or looted just last week.

[Clouds Passing]

17. I saw that. Why would Woody Harrelson want anything to do with that arrogant ahole?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. Maher is an asshole who ceased being funny a very long time ago

I stopped watching Maher a long time ago

[dem4decades]

13. Maher is a first-class asshole, a shitty actor, comedian and commentator. Why anyone watches him is beyond me.

Jon Oliver has such a better show,

[Prairie Gates]

14. Fuck Bill Maher

[applegrove]

15. He in no way said any abuser was in the right. That is

a lie. Maybe he was referring to people like me who have gone 30 years terrified of a stalker and rarely talked to the police.

[obamanut2012]

22. He victim blamed her

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. Anyone still supporting and defending Maher

is defending violence against women.

[Rebl2]

25. Why is

anyone still watching him.

[lark]

27. Maher is totally unwatchable to me - won't waste my mind time.

Ugh!!

[k_buddy762]

30. lol

context?
