Watch Bill Maher’s Rant on ‘Fake Outrage’ That May Be a Wake-Up Moment for Liberal Activism
Independet Journal Review ^ | 04/01/2015 | Frank Camp

Bill Maher recently offered his opinion on the celebrity-proclaimed boycott of designers Dolce & Gabbana after the pair made comments that they do not approve of gay adoption or “synthetic children.”

In an interview with an Italian magazine, The Huffington Post reports that Domenico Dolce said:

“’I am gay, I cannot have a child. I guess you cannot have everything in life,’ Dolce added. ‘Life has a natural course, some things cannot be changed. One is the family.’”

The ensuing reaction led Maher, who is known for attacking both sides of the political aisle, to unload on liberals’ “crazy political correctness”:

“We joke about everybody here and that’s something a lot of liberals have forgotten how to do. For folks that take such pride in their love of diversity, liberals increasingly seem to tolerate none in their own ranks…

In Syria, ISIS is throwing gay people off buildings. Maybe there are bigger battles to fight.” 

Throughout his segment, Maher provides his unfiltered and unabashed take on the modern “fake outrage” that often fills the media limelight.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to watch Bill Maher do anything at all?

Maher has on rare occasions displayed a brief moment of sanity; of course after he realizes it he attempts to absolve himself, he doubles down on insanity.

You're right Iron... on this subject Maher's got it.

Liberals have turned into thin-skinned totalitarians... ready to destroy anyone who disagrees with them or dares to laugh at their idiosyncrasies. If they weren't totally closed minded they wouldn't have a mind at all...

We've reached the point where the IRS says you can't touch us to Congress [Link] and a Judge allows a motion by the prosecution to disallow any mention of the Constitution [Link] — I could very well think Mr. Maher is reasonable with these in mind.

Maher wants to avoid being thrown off a roof I guess.

I can only hope that every liberal activist is met with a fiery end. Our country is on the fast-track to hell when such a small minority of perverted people can wield so much power.
I’m sickened by what this country will do and tolerate because of political correctness and minority special privilege.

You reckon the queer liberal’s friends, the muslims, will be throwing them off the roofs after we run them all to their liberal “blue state” havens during R2?

Maher is fighting Hillary’s buildup to her announcement of running for prez. Hillary cannot generate energy for herself, especially now. So all her corporate buttboys are running around shrieking about gay rights to create a huge fire of enraged and offended energy that she can use for her entrance into the race, to surf on.

Maher is obviously not in the Hillary camp, so he’s firing straight at the fact that the outrage is fake, to give liberals talking points against the Hillarybots.

Maher is a Leftist, not a liberal. Never make the mistake of confusing the two, because they don’t. Leftists tell the liberals what to think and do - they’re the “officer class” of the Left, and the liberals are the “enlisted class.” For all of his certified asininity, Maher is not, and had never been, stupid (except of course in a spiritual sense). What he says, he says fully understanding its effect - that’s what he’s paid for.

The whole,pro gay agenda, believe or not, is sponsored by Qatar. It takes away from scrutinizing muslims and it emphasis hypocritically our need to be dimmits of gays, but them not having to be so in Arab countries.

Liberals are completely piloted by a bunch of very illiberal bull crap.

Maher is not the only self-described liberal who has made statements recently about the increasing totalitarian mindset of many on the left. They are of course swiftly excoriated by all the petty fascists who make up the bulk of the left and ordered to toe the line.

Most of the heretics, chastened by the criticism from their superiors, bow their heads and apologize for deviating from the script.

“I can only hope that every liberal activist is met with a fiery end.”

I understand where you are coming from, and agree with your concerns. However, I do not want anyone to have a fiery end; I want them to be saved.”

Hope they don’t listen to him and kill themselves off with their hate.
