In reply to the discussion: Dayum! Tiffany Cross "snatched out the remaining strains of Bill Maher's hair" [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,622 posts)I disagree with some of Mahers takes. But she literally brought up the only three times he's gotten into trouble over his whole show(s) runs. Not even near comparable to some Fox News pundit who gets it wrong over 3 times a day.
Hes a fricken comedian! He is crass. He goes over the line sometimes. And he is purposely looking for excuses to poke, not only the extreme right, but also the PC mad left. Like Tiffany. The crowd to whom you can't make even one mistake over years, let alone 3.
She is exactly what Maher warns us of. Someone who doesn't even watch his show, just from hearsay and others in the PC police, she decides to spend a whole segment bashing another liberal for not getting things exactly right. This is the kind of cancel culture that is not helpful.
His show has helped spread the truth about Trump before the last election in 2016. He was sued for calling Trump an orangutan among other things, he contributed a million bucks to Obama's campaign. He was a fearless representative of the liberal point of view for a long time now. I'm sure this kind of BS will run off his back like all the other BS from the bigoted Right and the confused Left.
