Oprah included. The slicked back hair should be a clue

From this Libertarian and atheist to Maher's ear piece - Your
so full of **** - heavy duty full of **** - there isn't
a valley in Yosemite than can contain your ****.

Don't give Libertarians a bad name with your crap

He should be familiar with Oprah's ways . He ran a show on HBO where he stacked the chairs with "like thinkers" and ripped in to the one lone non-like thinker..and let that one non-like thinker get run over, interrupted, ignored...he got canned b/c he SUCKED as a host. His partisanship (not libertarian, no matter what he says...run tape to prove what a liberal idiot he is) got him cut.

He's a troll.
Bill Maher is still on HBO - his new season starts in January.

Are you a fan or something?
I am a fan. Bill Maher's a lot of things, but I don't think fake is one of them. He is what he is. Don't like him? Don't watch his show.

Fake, IMO, would be the typical televangelist who doesn't believe in a word of what he/she is preaching, but blathers the same nonsense over and over again to rake in the bucks from their gullible telecongregations.

Bill Maher is worthless - he say things to get ratings and fools a lot of folks. Not really sure a person like him serves a whole lot of good purpose in the world. He only seeks to destroy what others do or believe.

Of course he is a fake, if you are foolish enough to believe he is not, then you have made your own bed. Bill Maher saying "Merry Christmas" is about as fake as it gets.

I love Bill Maher. I think he's hilarious...but I don't know what his clips of money-winning game contestants have to do with his rant about Christmas.

While I agree that the religious holiday as been overshadowed by Christians trying to be PC and non-Christians who celebrate the holiday without the religious observance, that does not change the core reason for the celebration.

It's very interesting that Bill mocks those who are excited to win stuff. This from a man worth millions. I would imagine that if I had his net worth, I too wouldn't jump up and down over a sweater or Foreman grill. But I'm not, so getting free stuff/money, etc is always fun.

The Bible doesn't condemn those who want money. The condemnation is the worship of money. Many folks miss this distinction.

That he is. Bill Mahers a clown, not only is he a religous bigot, but a undercover racist(like most liberals). He is the same clown that said just because Obama is black that he should be acting more "gangsta".

The video clip in the OP is of a segment from his show. It was not intended to be sincere wish for a Merry Christmas...

Bill Maher, to me, is a hypocrite. Although I don't like Oprah or Ellen, they have both gave significant amounts to those less fortunate. Oprah has started schools across the world and built shelters and homes and has gave alot of money to missions and charities. What exactly has Bill Maher done to be judging what he thinks Oprah hasn't? Besides raking in the millions he has. For him to claim to be a liberal is laughable.
