A lot of liberals try to pretend like they only hate social conservative but their hatred of Koch shows they hate fiscal conservatives as much if not more.

Maybe,,,,,maybe not.

Don't forget that the left has demonized the Koch brothers for many years.

Thus many on the left must assume on some level it is about the culture wars the country is engaged in.

Liberal Democrats love to accuse Trump of creating an environment of hate, fear, etc.
Maybe they are just projecting their own feelings and actions on others, as Democratic senators have taken to the senate floor to demonize them.

Koch was fine for the most part minus the climate change denial and pro oil shtick certainly much preferred to the hypocritical religious maga folk the right has these days

McCain arranged his own funeral to be a Trump hate fest.

Trump's never mocked McCain for cancer or said he was glad McCain died.

Your hate has you grabbing at straws to force a equivalence between Maher and Trump.

What's driving Donald Trump's feud with John McCain?
President Donald Trump's feud with the late Sen. John McCain dates back many years, to long before the real estate magnate launched a campaign for president.

Bill Maher always speaks his mind freely with no fears of backlash. That being said, it seems Mr. Koch was universally hated by everyone. I read the comments on the youtube video below, and it looked no different than when Charles Manson died.

" I do not want a 3rd seat to open due to anyone's health issues", if she would retire like any normal person person with her health problems and age, it would NOT be an issue. SHE is he one creating an issue.

She stays on because being such a liberal she knows Tump will nominate another conservative to replace her and being her liberal philosophy comes first dose NOT want to see seat taken by a conservative.

Politics FIRST with a lot of libs.

Your line seems purposely biased and misleading. We might agree that Maher's comment was in bad taste, but it's not unusual for people to be glad that someone they despise is gone. (I'm sure many were glad when Osama Bin Laden was gone.) Maher's comment was not "celebrating."

Yes, you're right, years ago people acting outside norms would have been fired. By those standards, many of Fox's public figures would be gone by now - for instance, far worse was Sean Hannity at a Trump rally.
"Gee, he "celebrated"? You mean, like, he threw a party?"


What an IGNORANT post! Looks like you are UNaware people CAN celebrate WITHOUT "throwing a party"!


And WE are called the UN-educated!

"McCain had credibility," NOT when it comes to his politics. And I voted for him.


Everybody is entitled to their own options and should NOT be attacked for expressing them just because you have DIFFERENT opinions.
