Liberal apologists of bill maher need to think long and hard

126. Watching Wil Wheaton complain about white voters is kind of amusing.

As if they were, you know, some kind of monolithic block. Especially since, like, he's not a professional investor or anything, he's working class...which means his comment was about himself. Heh.

That aside, I agree completely. Yah, the Right is technically leading the attack, but dammit I don't follow politics as a team sport where 'my team' is all good and the 'other team' is all bad, that's literal child thinking. My team occasionally has some bad, and theirs occasionally has some good (and, from their perspective, vice versa). It's the literal meaning of yin and yang - interpenetration.

And that's even if you consider Maher to be liberal in the first place, which I really don't. He leans our direction, but has very many unexamined self-biases that make him a very poor mouthpiece. If we actually want to make a difference for the people we claim to care about, we must hold every person on the medium to the SAME STANDARD and support them when they do the same.

Seems cut and dried to me, but what do I know?
