Martin appeared to be a decent kid. Brown caught on tape bullying store owner. So Maher calls it like he sees it. No pc for Maher which is why I respect his opinions..I may or may not agree but he's consistent. Same thing with Islam. Agree or not, his points of view are always intellectually based.

The latest comment? There are bigger things to worry about. A quick-minded sharp comic spoke before thinking. Why the fuss? We are still a very parochial people in my view. I wonder what Carlin or Bruce would have said about all this?
