I've just decided Maher is a sick asshole.....
Making jokes about kids getting sexually abused. Saying that kids get beat up...big deal (regarding the girl who had the shit beat out of her by the 7 cheerleaders). He is just a shock jock loser.

1. He ranges from funny to complete dipshit, sometimes in the span of seconds.

2. Maher is weird, he calls himself a liberal, he's pro-death penalty and supported Dole back in '96
Some kind of fancy and peculiar character

6. At best, Maher is politically shallow. I have always felt that his
part time support of those who oppose BushCo has never been of any help to the cause. He is , after all, a comedian who occasionally dabbles in political issues.

13. I made the same comment about 10 months ago and was
"flamed" big time. However, I believe more people have had the chance to evaluate what he is doing. He's not helping the cause. On the other hand, he's probably not doing any harm.

8. It took you this long to figure it out.
Hey, the "man" idolizes Hugh Hefner and lives for sex and drugs.
Maher has always been feeding from the bottom of the barrel.

9. So what? He's not perfect
Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 11:08 PM by Upton
but he's very politically aware and, unlike most others in his profession, he's been out front criticizing the Bush administration.

12. But he supports our piece of Governator.
So he's informed but brain dead in many ways.

17. He is a supreme asshole who hates women.
A serial killer can criticize the Bush administration and still have more moral fibre than Bill Maher.

15. He's a creepy misogynist
He probably jerked off to the video of the girl being beaten up.

18. I missed his show last night
God, how can anybody watch that video of that poor girl getting beat up and not condemn it? I have noticed his show isn't as good as it used to be this season. He used to be so funny (most of the time) and the conversations with his guests were really interesting. This season, not so much, IMO.

19. I've always said that
I don't know how anyone can stand to watch even 5 minutes of his twisted show, but the men seem to like it. Go figure.

He's a sick, twisted fruit.

20. The way he sexualizes children and seems to hate women at times
creeps me out. Some day we're going to find out he has a library of illegal material. :scared:
