In reply to the discussion: Maher looks totally ridiculous with CPAC turning down Milo [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)I enjoyed the show. I don't have a problem listening to assholes spout their opinions. This is America, and I'm better informed by listening to all sides. I'm not getting this crap about Bill being so nice to Milo. At least two times he told Milo to "shut the fuck up" or "fuck off." That's not how a host usually treats a friendly guest.
One big mistake is that people keep calling Maher a "liberal." I heard it on the news the next morning, how "liberal" Bill Maher confronted "conservative" Milo. NEITHER OF THEM ARE EITHER OF THEM! Bill is nothing -- he claims to be Libertarian, but Libertarianism is a joke, a 'nothing burger.' There are no real Libertarians. It doesn't really work.
Milo claims he's a conservative, but he's a flaming gay guy who spouts off against the only people who actually supports his civil rights. Both of these two are media whores. I like Bill Maher. I like his sense of humor, even if I don't like all of his views. I enjoyed watching Milo even if only to learn what a fraud he is. He is the epitome of a poser. He's a more female Ann Coulter, just playing a schtick to make a buck while it's still profitable.
Bill Maher's show is a "comedy" show which happens to feature mainstream guests. If Bill was serious, if he didn't do the funny stuff, no one would give a shit. He'd just be another Sunday Morning show.
Stop thinking too much into it. It's a premium cable tv show. It's not for everybody. If you can't handle it, don't watch.
