In reply to the discussion: Maher to Greenwald: Every Time Snowden Speaks, 'He Always Says Something F*cking Nuts' [View all]Pholus
(4,062 posts)26. So are we playing normal house rules here?
After all, the last seven months have taught me that any agreement with something a libertarian says is a defacto admission of being a libertarian.
It is known.
Maher's libertarian credentials have been openly (and proudly) claimed as recently as April 2013 (More recently than Greenspan and obviously Snowden ain't been practicing since June 2013). Sure Billy said libertarians have went nuts (and water is wet) -- but he also clearly stated that he did not abandon the principles of libertarianism, the movement left him. That didn't even make sense back then, cause I'm old as dirt and I REMEMBER the LaRouchies. I didn't see some radical change from being a radical. So if anything Billy changed, and if he did it was only cause he saw his demographics shift.
He, like Glenn, is in it for the attention.
So, welcome to the "you're a libertarian troll" section under the bus, tex. Greenwald's last Cato association is 14 months older than Billy's last admission of loving him some libertarianism.

OP
Snowden witnessed activities that horrified him, that offended his conscience, his sense of fair

Bill Maher's constant over-the-top, pro-violence, off the scale, bigotry against Arabs and Muslims

I'm not sure that Stewart "roasts" RWers -- the majority of his guests are RWers

Bill Maher usually gets things right, but when he's wrong he dives right in the deep end.

Greenwald said it best when he told Maher he was the one that sounded crazy. I agree with
