(5,730 posts)Somerimes, but part of that is to create controversy and get debate going. That's why he invites jerks like Ann Coulter and G Norquist. Plus, he gets crossover conservatives to watch, which is good, they might learn something! Anyway, he is a commedian, not Prez of the US or an official policy commentator. What would it be if everyone just sat there and nodded yes to everthing?
We had Bernie people and Hillary people. Most didn't agree 100pc with either one. If we can't tolerate anyone with different views from our own, we'll elect more DT's. The rigid PC of some of our people alienated a lot of voters. I am for the TPP, like Obama. Hillary?, Bernie, Stein, Johnson and DT are against it. Well, i didnt vote for Jeb! or L Graham, just because they were right on that one issue. There were many other issues, and you have to look at all. Plus, in Bill M's case, he has to exploit the humor and controversy of the issues.
Every once in a while, i get pissed at Maher and turn him off. He pushes the limits, and he doesn't try, and can't, make everyone happy all of the time. I abhor racism, but in spite of his inappropriate comments at times, I dont think he is a racist. He has a different view.
I did not watch the show with Milo because I can't stand him.
Even CPAC withdrew his speaking invitation because of his comments which seemed to promote the
Sex abuse of children. Then, he tried to walk it back. He said something like, he had the priests to thank for teaching him about sex, and all little boys have to learn. I think he is done for though, and I am glad. 15 minutes of fame or whatever.
