He’s all over the map. You’ve GOT to wonder about the sanity of folks like that. No core.
Exactly right, all over the map, but his brief moments of clarity like this (very obvious) statement, only underscore
the REST of him, the 99.9% of the time he slanders Sarah Palin, dresses up like Steve Irwin with a bloody fin sticking out of his abdomen, etc. etc.——the list of his offenses piles up daily, and his posture is one of “defiant independence” in philosophy, with his most vile acts and words to be taken with a grain of salt as “humor”. (”Hey.come on,I’m a COMEDIAN, after all!”) The usual dodge employed by malignant spirits like Maher.
The only reason he would moderate those views is because he can't keep an audience.
I see this as a sign even BM’s extreme leftist audience is getting sick and tired of the extreme leftist view, and if the extreme left is sick of the leftist view you know where the rest of the country is.
Aren’t there any transgender Islamic folks that we could talk to? Or maybe some midget wrestler Islamic folks? Or maybe some Amazon manly Islamic women? Or maybe some intellectual dopey gay Islamic men? Or maybe some reformed anti-elitist French Muslims? Or maybe some Latino Muslims?
There are three types of political commentators. The first kind are those who do it for the money. These include Bill oReily and to an extent Anne Coulter. Yes, they have conservative credentials, but they basically read the ether and orient their views to match what will give them the highest financial return. This is why every now and then they will get it wrong. The second type are the lunatics. These are true believers, almost always liberals, and examples include Susan Estrich and to an extent Colmes (although colmes hidee it well). The third are the eclectics ....similar to the firstgroup in that they do it for money, but similar to thesecond in the tabidness of some of their beliefs. All over the place. Maher falls here, and after listening/reading what he says for years I doubt he is even liberal. What he is is a high-elitist with a strong libetarian leaning, who just knows his bread is buttered on the liberal side. Every now and then he forgets that and ends up insulting liberals in ways even Ann Coulter wouldn’t.
