Showing Original Post only (View all)Bill Maher goes full MAGA - says Dems party of slavery and he needs to be harder on left than right [View all]
https://www.foxnews.com/media/maher-mocks-media-condemning-european-parties-far-right-origins-says-dems-party-slavery"When I was younger, there was no doubt in my mind who the champions of free speech were, and also the threat, and the threat was all on the right and the champions were on the left," he noted. "Thats not how I feel now. So when people say now Why are you harder on the left? Well thats one of the big reasons."
After criticizing Trump, saying that he only wasnt seen as more of a threat because many did not take his hyperbole seriously, "The left is much more in my face, much more constant, much more daily problem" later quipping that if anything, "maybe the woke people should apologize to me and all of the people like me for all the things they robbed us from ever hearing, jokes that were never told because someone was just too scared to say something."
I apologize for the trash link, but I trust that, in this case only, Fox accurately portrayed what that Trump-loving fascist asshole said.
I wonder if Chris Licht paid him off to become a Republican. He also railed against the COVID pandemic financial benefits recently along with downplaying the likelihood that Putin would invade Ukraine pre-war in 2022.
HEY BILL, YOU MISERABLE LOW-LIFE BASTARD ASSHOLE, HOW IS ANYONE ON THE LEFT AS IN YOUR FACE AND CRUDE AS THAT MONSTER, TRUMP, WHO IS REPONSIBLE FOR 1 MILLION COVID DEATHS+ AMONGST OTHER ATROCITIES.
The party of slavery line matches up nicely with how his party, the GOP, calls themselves the party of Lincoln btw.
Perhaps he and MTG are ideological soulmates?

Maher errs on several levels. The Brothers of Italy party has roots going back to Mussolini

His commentary is rarely criticism. It's punching down, sniping and unfunny bullying. RW gold. (NT)

I agree with you on the points you made, but I do find fault with Maher on a couple of other points

He's an ass, but I have watched him for years. He's called out the GOP a lot.
