Once and For All, Bill Maher IS NOT the Titular Head of a Major Political Party like Limbaugh Is

55. Sticks and stones...

You throw an awful lot of big words out there, but your huffing and puffing doesn't amount to much.

I agree with Maher's sentiments: our culture is better than theirs and I can factually back it up. We don't criminally prosecute gay people, let alone hang them in public. We don't stone our women to death when they have been unfaithful to us. We don't keep women prison in the bee-keeper suits (the burquas). We don't wed our (pre)teen daughters to sixty year old men in exchange for a goat and a cow. We don't threaten or try to kill people who offend our religion, like muslims did when they attempted to kill two Danish cartoonists and slaughtered (literally) Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in the streets of Amsterdam in broad day light. The worst Christians are the Phelphs, who hold up hurtful signs at funerals. That's the worst Christinaity has to offer. The worst of the muslims are the Taliban, who blow up girls schools, chop of hands and noses or throw acid in womens' faces. I hope you can see the difference.

Anyone who knows me, also knows I'm the biggest opponent of the anti-muslim politicians in Europe at this moment; and also knows I have befriended muslims (even fallen in love with some). But that all does not negate that I can see very sharply the difference between our culture and that of muslim extremists. And it's not less liberal to point that out.

Calling Bill Maher a "misogynyst of epic proportions" clearly shows you don't know who you're talking about. You've probably heard him make "potty-mouthed" comments about a woman and then drawn the wrong conclusions. And you certainly ignored everything I said about his stances on womens' rights issues --you know, the ISSUES that actually COUNT, but which you dismiss as "lip service" because it doesn't fit your framing?
