Agree and he is entitled to spew his venom, but its funny to see the same sorts who call the followers of Limbaugh, O'Reilly et al. non-thinking sheep, now doing the bobble head because Maher is one of their own.
Integrity is in short supply these days.

Then it should be easy to cite some things he got incorrect in that interview. What facts did he get wrong?

Wait a second, is this going to be one of those, "I'm not going to do your homework for you" responses?

You should have seen his entire program, he nailed it (again) when he said that liberals and conservatives cannot agree on facts, so arguing is often pointless. And there is a real and distinct reason for this: Conservatives make up their own facts, their own reality, tailor made (truth be told, it is made for them by very powerful interests)

Maher preaches reality, which conservatives flee from. What they are indoctrinated with is so far from reality that the mere mention of the truth makes these people recoil.

It is clear by reading this entire sub-forum.....The right creates an alternate reality....they think all Liberals are poor, lazy, stupid etc.....They don't trust the media because sometimes the media points out they are full of ****. They harbor themselves in these bubbles of like minded spokes-models that re-affirm their feelings and their fears.....

the scary part is how they are starting the create a reality that suits only them. The RNC speeches demonstrate that clearly. You can create big lies, repeat them over and over, get loud when refuted and then your true followers will come along in lock step.

Nah, totally untrue. D'Souza is not a moron. He's got a finger on the accurate pulse of this country's being led to the slaughter.

But, as for Maher, he's deeper in hell than any morons. He is a vile, lunatic buffoon.

For an alleged historian D'Souza... well what can I say.

Another good piece on D'Souza's:

That point that 'Bush's highest deficit was $500 bil. and Obama's was over a trillion,' isn't even true (either.) 2009 was Bush's budget and it was $1.2 trillion, forecasted as such two weeks before Obama was sworn in.

Yeah I saw that interview and was puzzled. D'nesh claimed Obama had rage, but had no evidence at all to support his claim. Bill asked him to explain and D'nesh could not in any way that made sense at all. What's even more amusing is that D'nesh has never talked to Obama, interviewed him, or had any interactions with him. His opinions on him are based on his travel to Kenya where he gathered evidence. Which is odd considering that Obama didn't grow up in Kenya.... Maher killed it when he confronted D'nesh on these things and left D'nesh speechless and looking quite uniformed and idiotic. What's with his feminine mannerisms LOL?

As sloppy with the facts as Michael Moore can be, at least he tries to interview his subjects. I have no idea how anyone can responsibly make a documentary on a living breathing human being without interviewing the subject. It just such a non-starter.

But D'Souza has been a hack since his days at the right wing hackchery the Dartmouth Review, not in anyway to be confused with a legitimate academic journal like the Harvard Law Review.
