Maher suffers from this awful need to prove to the left that he is a complete prick Maru Kitteh Feb 2017 #3

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. BannonsLiver Feb 2017 #10

Don't have to give them our sunlight grantcart Feb 2017 #44

I don't see much difference between Milo and Coulter BannonsLiver Feb 2017 #46

Nice handle, BannonsLiver! Welcome to DU! VOX Feb 2017 #64

Coulter wears lipstick better than Milo Pachamama Feb 2017 #79

He's underwhelming as a speaker MountCleaners Feb 2017 #60

Bill Maher is dead to me. He's been on life-support for the longest time... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #4

He gave that insane Tomi what's-her-name a platform a couple of weeks ago. Initech Feb 2017 #5

She was terrible. The appearance did not do her ANY favors. She was very inarticulate anneboleyn Feb 2017 #17

She Had the Other Republican... ProfessorGAC Feb 2017 #55

The difference is that she was on the panel. Caliman73 Feb 2017 #78

I totally agree with you...... Jim Beard Feb 2017 #59

because if his show was an echo chamber it would be really boring? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #70

Because he's an arrogant asshole who is elevating and legitimizing HATE SPEECH... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #83

I don't honestly understand why "Milo" is so much worse than Ann Coulter, who is on all the time. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #85

I figured you wouldn't understand. Or, that you'd pretend to not understand. Oh well. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #88

Can you find a quote from Milo thats worse than "kill their leaders & convert them to Christianity"? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #90

I think Maher is wrong to have him on and talk Swagman Feb 2017 #129

well it will be interesting to see Kimchijeon Feb 2017 #6

Maher argues 'the bright white light' of free speech... yallerdawg Feb 2017 #8

Well stated, yallerdawg Cha Feb 2017 #41

Unwatchable. moondust Feb 2017 #9

How about we learn a lesson from Germany and curtail free speech about hat Fred Sanders Feb 2017 #13

+1 Ezior Feb 2017 #16

Canada, Germany, France have defined criminal hate speech quite nicely. Fred Sanders Feb 2017 #19

If germany had had the 1st Amendment, Hitler would have had a much harder time. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #56

That's one thing I've noticed that all censors have in common. Dr. Strange Feb 2017 #63

Seriously. I wonder if they're peeved that donations to the ACLU have gone through the roof lately. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #65

I once again ask you to examine the actual hate speech laws, they are well defined and narrow. Fred Sanders Feb 2017 #73

I'm sorry, but the 1st Amendment is a bulwark against totalitarianism. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #74

Yeah, Germany knows what happens when totalitiarians tell people what they can or cannot read or say Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #51

How disappointing Phoenix61 Feb 2017 #14

So? Egnever Feb 2017 #15

I see one. He can play victim and his orcs can rally around that. nolabear Feb 2017 #24

As if they need an exscuse. Egnever Feb 2017 #27

Now that's a panel ripe for a fist fight eleny Feb 2017 #20

Well, for once I agree with Milo. Hayabusa Feb 2017 #21

How'd that work with Trump? nt HopeAgain Feb 2017 #106

It backfires about 10% of the time... Hayabusa Feb 2017 #130

Trump is a helluva backfire... HopeAgain Feb 2017 #132

Hate speech isn't "free" ismnotwasm Feb 2017 #28

So, serious question--- is Milo worse than Ann Coulter, Who Maher has had on countless times? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #54

It isn't so much what he has said MountCleaners Feb 2017 #62

That's everyone on team Trump. Including Ann Coulter. Jesus, who do you think buys HER books? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #66

Looking forward to it Lotusflower70 Feb 2017 #29

He also gave a platform for Ann Coulter, Christine O'Donnell and host of other trolls tenderfoot Feb 2017 #38

Fine with me...Bill knows how to handle him. TrekLuver Feb 2017 #61

Update: Response from Bill Maher Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #67

Nonsense. He's already been "exposed" for what he is. Maher is grasping at straws now. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #87

Putting HATE SPEECH in all caps doesn't prove anything except that your caps lock button works. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #91

Nor does taking cheap shots at people's spelling or formatting style for emphasis. Get over it. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #92

How about giving an example, then? A Milo quote that's any worse than what Coulter says? Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #93

Your whataboutisms are silly. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #97

You seem tense. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #100

You seem desperate. (Or angry.) NurseJackie Feb 2017 #105

Nope! Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #107

That's nice. NurseJackie Feb 2017 #112

Yes, it is. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #113

What are you hinting, or worse, "accusing" here? George II Feb 2017 #124

I AM SUGGESTING THAT I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT BUTTER Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #127

Maher better apologize to Scahill jeanmarc Feb 2017 #96

I think you'll be waiting a long time to see that happen. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #102

Maher is one of a kind, and I never miss him. mountain grammy Feb 2017 #119

I agree. I'm glad he's taking a stand for free expression. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #121

Bill Maher is not the enemy. n/t HAB911 Feb 2017 #68

I would rather watch ice melt than watch Bill Maher HopeAgain Feb 2017 #103

Agree he is an Islamophobe and he does mock people of faith, but good to see him humiliate Trumpers Doodley Feb 2017 #122

Good edbermac Feb 2017 #69

Why not have a good old fashioned book burning while were're at it? Henry Krinkle Feb 2017 #98

Bill Maher is a privileged TV Celebrity Blue Idaho Feb 2017 #99

Oh my. He's had the pulse of politics in this country for two decades. applegrove Feb 2017 #101

He makes fun of religion and supports things like free speech and pot legalization Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #104

He's opinionated. I don't agree with him on all of his pov. I do learn applegrove Feb 2017 #108

He's an idiot on vaccines, for one. He subscribes to too much "science/big ag/pharma are evil" BS Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #111

So you're saying he's not a TV Celebrity Blue Idaho Feb 2017 #109

I know the privileged. I know people who are real. He is a real person. applegrove Feb 2017 #110

Unless you are a friend - you don't know him. Blue Idaho Feb 2017 #131

I haven't watched him in two decades. kwassa Feb 2017 #123

He is definitely not a turnip, or a neutron star. Warren DeMontague Feb 2017 #114

I stopped watching Maher a while back also Gothmog Feb 2017 #116
