Bill Maher Shreds Progressives Over P.C. Culture

Bill Maher Shreds Progressives Over P.C. Culture: The ‘Fox News Bubble’ is Just As ‘Bad on the Left’
By Charlie NashSep 30th, 2019, 3:17 pm

Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher attacked progressive “social justice warriors” and “P.C. police” in an interview with the New York Times, this week, during which he claimed the “Fox News bubble” has gotten as bad on the left.
...
Maher also explained that “the Twitter-mob mentality has an effect on the rest of the world.”

“Everyone fears the wrath of the Twitter mob and the social justice warriors and the P.C. police. Religions always talk about the one true religion. Now on the left we have the one true opinion. If you go against that, you do so at your peril. That’s why the air on the left is becoming stale,” the comedian declared. “I railed for years against the Fox News bubble, and that is as strong as ever, but I didn’t think it would get this bad on the left.”

There is NO comparison in any universe in which liberals/progressives behave like the brain-washed fools in their fox bubble. The difference being that we give a damn about other humans and our planet.

Belated welcome to DU


Edit: We're not above scrutiny, but a fox comparison is Over The Line. I do, however see the irony of my being offended at the comparison.

To get to the root of my point...Impeach MF45. Focus. We are NOT like them...

He's not going to stop anytime soon. He just sounds stupid when he talks about "PC".

I don't mind him at all -- it's when he has other "PC" idiots like Bari Weiss as guests on his show that I can't stand watching him.

Maher:

Look, I tried to drive a stake through political correctness in the '
90s. I obviously failed dismally. It’s worse than ever.


Also Maher:

[What’s your problem with Liam Neeson?] He’s for horse-drawn carriages in Central Park. And I’m a PETA board member.

Pick a side, asshole.
