Who will Bill Maher defend more tomorrow? [View all] Trumpocalypse May 2018 OP

Pretty good guess I'd say. OnDoutside May 2018 #1

No. What Roseanne wrote was not a joke There was no setup, no provocation, no satire. Just harmful. TheBlackAdder May 2018 #33

I agree with you. Rosanne's comments was meant to be hurtful and vile... Raster May 2018 #35

Maher doesn't always think that way though. OnDoutside May 2018 #38

I want to be absolutely filthy with my response. joshcryer May 2018 #2

Bill and other comedians have watched stand up be greatly harmed by Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #3

Bet $50 bucks he does Trumpocalypse May 2018 #9

He may have some defense of Roseanne and sometimes it is personal but usually Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #12

He defended Laura Ingraham Trumpocalypse May 2018 #18

Over what? Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #19

Oops! betsuni Jun 2018 #75

That was several weeks ago Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #79

And last night's show was different how? betsuni Jun 2018 #82

Well it was after her racist tweet Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #84

No he didn't. betsuni Jun 2018 #87

Yes he did Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #91

He brought up more than once. betsuni Jun 2018 #98

Laugh all you want Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #99

He spent the whole show ripping her and this is your reaction? Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #105

Whole show? Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #109

Try and watch it for the examples I gave Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #112

I did Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #115

You didn't hear the quotes I gave? Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #118

No he didn't Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #122

You must not be familiar with him Bradshaw3 May 2018 #4

He was ahead of the curve... lame54 May 2018 #5

I am familiar with him defending conservatives Trumpocalypse May 2018 #10

He doesn't "defend" conservatives - he defends free speech Bradshaw3 May 2018 #29

Bill's language is on a par with Samantha's, so I see no reason why he would disparage her. dameatball May 2018 #6

Didn't say that he would. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #11

You going to come back to this thread if you're wrong? Bradshaw3 May 2018 #30

Actually your OP specifically mentions Bee or I probably wouldn't have commented on her. dameatball May 2018 #32

I think he will do like he did in April when it comes Barr. Hoyt May 2018 #7

He will tread lightly, many on both sides would like to see him silenced Va Lefty May 2018 #8

If you watched his show, you'd know. Iggo May 2018 #13

I've watched his show and seen him defend Laura Ingraham, Trumpocalypse May 2018 #16

And did you see him defend Roseanne Barr for being a Trumper? Iggo May 2018 #17

This is not about being a Trumper. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #21

You've got your narrative. Have fun with it. Iggo May 2018 #37

Yes it is called reality. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #41

What I have fun with.... quickesst Jun 2018 #102

Well said leftynyc Jun 2018 #120

Agreed quickesst Jun 2018 #141

There is another distinction between Barr & Bee MichMan Jun 2018 #76

I think Samantha Bee leftynyc May 2018 #15

But he's defended racists in the past. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #22

No he hasn't defended racists Bradshaw3 May 2018 #31

He defending Don Imus Trumpocalypse May 2018 #40

Again, defending free seech is NOT defending racists Bradshaw3 May 2018 #43

No, but arguing that they shouldn't face Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #46

Last night he agreed they should face consequences Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #104

Yeah, he nodded his head Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #108

You're going to have to provide leftynyc May 2018 #39

He defended Don Imus Trumpocalypse May 2018 #42

How? leftynyc Jun 2018 #44

Sure anyone has the right to be an Ahole Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #45

I'm a first amendment leftynyc Jun 2018 #51

And the 1st amendment is only a Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #53

I understand that leftynyc Jun 2018 #57

And should public and private corporations be forced to support hate speech? Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #58

Exactly leftynyc Jun 2018 #61

There is another big distinction between the two MichMan Jun 2018 #77

I see your point. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #100

Public schools are considered part of govt for the spooky3 Jun 2018 #101

He criticized Roseanne not long ago for lunatica May 2018 #20

He supported Don Imus for making a racist joke. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #23

That was decades ago lunatica May 2018 #25

Only one decade. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #26

Both are great examples lunatica May 2018 #34

He Did NOT Defend Laura Ingraham ProfessorGAC Jun 2018 #48

Criticizing the backlash is defending her. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #52

No, It Is Not ProfessorGAC Jun 2018 #56

Yes it is. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #60

Totally false claim - and he didn't last night Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #106

Not false at all. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #111

Totally false characterization of his postion Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #114

Not false Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #124

No Rosanne defense. When ABC unloaded her and gave up millions, oasis May 2018 #24

ABC fired Maher too. Trumpocalypse May 2018 #27

Maher was "perceived" as praising the bravery of the 9/11 terrororists. oasis May 2018 #28

Maher has no love for quick hook ABC Johonny May 2018 #36

A question only someone who doesn't know Bill Maher would ask. betsuni Jun 2018 #49

+1 BannonsLiver Jun 2018 #50

No a question from someone who Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #54

Wrong. You are wrong. betsuni Jun 2018 #55

Sure Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #59

I have no idea. But I guaran-damn-tee you he'll tell the right wing guest how brave they are for Guy Whitey Corngood Jun 2018 #62

The important thing is that you find additional targets of opportunity. LanternWaste Jun 2018 #63

So you can't defend Maher Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #64

And the answer is, of course, that nobody on the show defended Roseanne. betsuni Jun 2018 #65

No but Maher tried to give her a pass Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #67

No he didn't. betsuni Jun 2018 #69

Then why did he bring it up? Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #70

What? Bill Maher is a comedian. He makes jokes. betsuni Jun 2018 #71

Sure that was a joke Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #73

What? Brought it up later in the discussion when? betsuni Jun 2018 #74

When they discussed it on Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #78

LOL betsuni Jun 2018 #81

The results are in BannonsLiver Jun 2018 #66

I love when people who don't (or shouldn't) watch a show.... RhodeIslandOne Jun 2018 #68

+1 betsuni Jun 2018 #72

Yes I saw the show Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #92

He'll defend Dinesh Cartoonist Jun 2018 #80

No he won't. betsuni Jun 2018 #83

Here I agree with you :-) Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #126

And, we have our answer. Crunchy Frog Jun 2018 #85

And said it was due to mental illnesses Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #93

There was no defense of her. Crunchy Frog Jun 2018 #123

No defense of the statement Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #125

Sam Bee's show hasn't been cancelled. Crunchy Frog Jun 2018 #129

That's a qualified statement. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #133

Heh. Sucks to be wrong, huh? LexVegas Jun 2018 #86

How? Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #94

He didn't support her. What show were you watching? Hoyt Jun 2018 #132

And he repeated Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #134

So what? We attribute trump's problems to mental illness, that ain't supporting him. You were wrong, Hoyt Jun 2018 #135

I don't Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #138

So, no apology for being wrong? betsuni Jun 2018 #88

I wasn't Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #95

Yes you were and no he didn't phleshdef Jun 2018 #127

Nothing to be embarrassed about Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #130

He didn't defend her at all. He said her comments were abhorrent. phleshdef Jun 2018 #143

Don't accuse me of lying Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #144

I criticize the fuck out of Bill Maher for his instances of Islamophobia and sticking his foot... phleshdef Jun 2018 #145

He condemned the comment Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #146

Wrong. betsuni Jun 2018 #147

Right Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #148

You know, you should thank me for kicking your wrong post. betsuni Jun 2018 #150

OK then Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #151

You owe Bill an apology, and should self delete this post IMO. nt USALiberal Jun 2018 #89

Why? Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #96

Weren't you quoting bill Maher to me a while back over something I didn't even say? LostOne4Ever Jun 2018 #90

I don't play team politics Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #97

I hope you return and admit you were wrong Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #103

I wasn't Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #107

Total and complete lie Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #110

He never attacked Barr Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #113

Then refute the exampes I gave Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #116

I don't need to refute them Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #117

Good grief Bradshaw3 Jun 2018 #119

With you maybe. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #121

Or most of the people who responded to this thread. phleshdef Jun 2018 #128

No Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #131

He may well defend Barr. I'm okay with that. bitterross Jun 2018 #136

Thanks for an intelligent post. Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #139

The show aired Friday night (6/1) BannonsLiver Jun 2018 #142

This thread resembles the Argument Clinic. Crunchy Frog Jun 2018 #137

A Python classic, 😂 Trumpocalypse Jun 2018 #140

The result of this episode and this thread really highlight one thing Blue_Adept Jun 2018 #149
