bleeding heart Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 I find him mildly irritating, personally. Michael Moore too, for that matter. Quote “There is a limit to how much we can constantly say no to the political masters in Washington. All we had was Afghanistan to wave. On every other file we were offside. Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver." --Bill Graham, Former Canadian Foreign Minister, 2007
The_Squid Posted November 19, 2012 Report Posted November 19, 2012 I enjoy Bill Maher and his over-the-top, yet always humorous, critique of the right-wing... The right has many such figures.... O'reilly, Beck, etc, etc... the difference is that they are very serious about their outrage. When they are outlandish, they are still being serious. They believe their own lies! They can't laugh at themselves and don't allow other viewpoints to ever intrude upon their own. Maher can talk and discuss things with everyone. There is almost always a "right-wing" viewpoint on his show and lively debate. Quote
