Bill Maher, while he can be extreme at times, he doesn't shy away from speaking his mind. He is spot on.

Bill Maher is nothing more than the Liberal equivalent of Ann Coulter. He's unapologetically rude, frames arguments using strawmen, attacks the people rather than just the politicans, and thinks he's always right.

When Coulter does it, she's an intolerant, bigoted *****. When Maher does it, he's a brilliant and hilarious satirist. Please. He's nothing more than a hateful, opinionated bully with a weekly forum and an audience of trained seals that happily applaud every time he exposes his intolerance towards the other side.

BOTH of them are wrong in how their approach to social and political issues because they just add more fuel to the fire and prevent any kind of cooperation and compromise between the right and left.

So racism is bad, but its ok for him to be a religious bigot. Bill Maher is a hypocrite.

I agree, I can't stand the extremist from either side.

Ann Coulter? Perhaps but only you believe she (he?) maintains extreme views with logical reasoning for support. From the little I have seen of her (him?), I would say, no comparison other than them subscribing to extreme point of views, one taking a libertarian route, the other appealing to evangelicals/social conservative base.

What's wrong with not ascribing to blind patriotism and religion? Or, were you being sarcastic lol?

And why would anybody care what Maher thinks or says? If he's funny, laugh. If not, don't watch.

He's an entertainer, not an intellectual.

bill maher is a greasy little idiot. I don't think he's funny. The only explanation for his success is that a lot of haters like to watch him.
