roflmao, yeah, because saying it makes it so true.
Open minded like the people who have trashed the careers of so many people over rumor and private conversations that someone betrayed to the public media, or the open minded PC Nazis that defend everything Obama does reflexively and damn all Obama's critics as racists...yeah those open minded liberals.
Who the fuck do you think you are going on about openmindness? Your mind is cemented shut, and even though you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, you should realize it.
Out of everyone who has posted here, who actually ever has watched his show or heard his full commentary on something? Not soundbites, but whole cloth?
I haven't missed a show of his since 1999. He's very open-minded. He has rightwing idiots on his show every Friday night, at least one. He'd have more but too many of them are scared to show up and have their real lack of knowledge and intelligence on display in a spontaneous, live REAL TIME program with someone who won't give them a pass like David Gregory and the other paid anchor whores on cable and network television.
I have seen a few of his shows, but the man is aggravating, saying some of the most asinine things at times, like in the link I finally found he lists a few issues he says Americans are far more supportive of the Democrats on rather than the Republicans and the list was fraudulent.
Take his claim that most Americans support amnesty for illegal aliens. That is total horse shit, since it is a far more nuanced issue than that. Hell I am for amnesty under the right conditions for a small subset of illegals, but over all I oppose every thing coming up in Congress with few exceptions.
All Maher has demonstrated is that if you phrase the question right you can put together a bullshit majority for your side on every issue.
Bill Maher, like Rush Limbaugh, is not a journalist, not even a pundit really. His schtick is to entertain people, so he is funny, stacks the deck where he thinks it will please his audience more, and has not one shred of integrity unless it is to play to the audience more.
That someone would take him or Rush Limbaugh seriously is a sad comment on our nations education system.
