I’m not, he knows the lunatics he is aligned with and how they tolerate him for now, but as soon as the “common enemy” is vanquished he would be next.

Color me shocked that Maher actually gets this issue exactly right (for a change.)

Now the challenge is: does this forum trash him for being so wrong on so many other issues, or does it applaud him for being right on this issue and welcome him to the fight?

I say, applaud him for being right (on this issue) and welcome him to the fight.

His eyes are opened as he realizes that what happened to Donald Sterling could also happen to him.

He realizes that he might be next and he has to watch his mouth.

Finally, a Bill Maher position I can agree with.

Despite all the perks of Liberal elitism, I think he is beginning to realize that his position is as fragile as the next syllable. If he doesn't stand up for the right of others to say what they think of believe, who is he going to be able to make snarky comments about? If everyone shuts up and sings the party line, there's no one left for a Liberal to try to make fun of.--He'd be out of a job.

That’s rich. A flaming liberal statist speaking out in favor of privacy. Does he realize the contradictions involved?

” he makes dense on this.”

Is it a sign of end times if I agree with this Ahole?

No, but my guess is that you agree based on principle.

I’m guessing Maher takes this opinion based on self preservation. The guy is a complete a-hole. I’d guess that there are more than a few people who have been party to decidedly un-PC things he’s said that he doesnt want coming out, let alone being held to account for. Stuff that can’t be explained away as part of his media persona.

Bill should run as a conservative Democrat. He’d be the only one in the USA.

Even if he is right on this issue, he is still an a...hole.
