Comedian and pundit Bill Maher is this year’s commencement speaker at the University of California-Berkeley’s winter graduation ceremony.

While Maher’s original invitation to address today’s event was uncontroversial, after an on-air argument he subsequently had with Ben Affleck about the nature of Islam, campus Muslim groups at Berkeley demanded that Chancellor Nicholas Dirks retract Maher’s invitation to speak.

Moron bill maher's "performance"/grad address at berzerkley from Zombie with pictures. Thanks Zombie for taking the time to run out and get the pics. To the grads, I repeat from earlier:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Shouldn't be hard for berzerkleyites to answer right?

After working hard and paying all that money for a degree at Berkeley I would have to sit and listen to this buffoon?

I love the way these idiots demand things rather than engaging in a cogent discussion where reasoned arguments might prevail. My experience is: If you have a good idea, you don't have to blow people up or chop their heads off to have them accept your idea. Is it possible they have a flawed goal in the first place?

It’s been proven over and over that violence is a much more effective tool for convincing cowards than dialogue.
