Maher's an ass.

[elleng]

That is all.

edit: complained about Potus, bad crap from his mouth about President Obama. I tuned him out quickly.

[woolldog]

1. What'd he say this time?

[jillan]

2. ???

[DesertFlower]

3. why?

[Ykcutnek]

4. Usually. nt

[NYC_SKP]

5. I've always felt so. Smarmy, inauthentic.

Gets good guests but uses lowbrow humor and takes cheap shots for laughs.

Not my style, I don't watch the show anymore and only ever did occasionally.

[shenmue]

6. Yeah, usually

One or two times, he makes a good point. But he says a lot of stupid things, too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. I don't get it..he usually defends Obama ??

[demosincebirth]

24. You gotta be a ultra progressive comedian to be totally accepted here by some.

[hollysmom]

8. I have been saying this since the first time I saw him - ass is ass.

[Joe Turner]

9. Bill Maher is not a partisian Democrat

He speaks his mind across a range of issues. No doubt that would get anyone in hot water these days in both parties. Groupthink is alive and well.

[elleng]

10. Has nothing to do with partisan or groupthink,

he is rude and crude, up with which I do not put.

[maced666]

11. Oh, he laid into Christians couple weeks ago and it was a fav thread.

The minute he steps out of the corporate supposed 'left' mold and calls out Islamic terrorism or anything not considered progressive my the corporate wing of the left he's chastised.

[LostInAnomie]

16. +1

As long as he stays to safe "left" topics no one cares. Once he gores a sacred ox, DU hates him.

[Joe Turner]

15. the truth can sometimes be challenging

Why do I think you are just fine with the Maher's rude and crude when he is beating up on the republicans...like any thinking person should.

[Ykcutnek]

18. Maher is not an intelligent man, but he's good at selling that facade. nt

[elleng]

21. I rarely watch him,

ran into the show while surfing. You know nothing about me. I am not fine with anyone being rude and crude about anyone/thing.

[applegrove]

26. Then don't watch Maher. He is the first

to admit he has a potty mouth. Comedians usually do push boundaries. That is their job.

[demosincebirth]

23. You can say anything on HBO. He may be rude and crude to you, but that's he repertoire. He has

a huge following, even here on DU.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Where was he on tonight?

[elleng]

13. Yes or a rerun,

turned it off quickly.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. Oh! You mean Real Time?

Got it, thanks!

[elleng]

17. Yes

[Rhiannon12866]

22. I watched it on Friday.

I often don't agree with what he says, especially hated the Rand Paul interview, but I figure he's a comedian.

[Archae]

20. Maher is a loony tune.

He's an anti-vaxx zealot, who claims germs don't cause disease.

[Kalidurga]

25. He gets it right about 30% of the time. So he's better than a Republican...

I heard he is a libertarian so that explains a lot. Sometime even when I don't agree with him I think he is funny. But your assment of him is also correct.

[tularetom]

27. Yep, always has been

A little too chummy with his right wing guests, and not nearly as funny as he thinks.
