In reply to the discussion: Once and For All, Bill Maher IS NOT the Titular Head of a Major Political Party like Limbaugh Is [View all]CrawlingChaos
(1,893 posts)I feel like you should get some kind of prize here for the largest number of strawmen in the smallest amount of space.
I said Bill Maher's bigotry was helpful to oppressors, which is certainly is. Anytime you can convince the public that a certain group is somehow lesser than, they become more willing to tolerate oppression of that group. Maher's brand of hatred doesn't help Muslim women - it only makes it easier to bomb them.
Your posting of the Hilary Clinton article appears to be an attempt to imply I'm against supporting womens' rights, which is OBVIOUSLY the exact opposite of my actual position. You are apparently wholly unaware of the progress made by Muslim women, and which they will continue to make if their lives aren't manipulated by external forces, as has been the case for a very long time. Are you interested in the welfare of women or would you prefer to help propagate cartoonish, dehumanizing stereotypes like Bill Maher does?
If you want to keep defending a piece of sexist and racist scum like Maher, you go right ahead, but I sure as hell hope you continue to get called out on it.
