For once I agree with Bill Maher. Remember liberals, this is one of your own telling you what folks on this board have also been telling you since the election. Time to stop doubling down on stupid and face the reality that YOU helped create the current situation. If your actions continue, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Bill Maher says PC culture helped ‘a madman’ become president

snippet:

Quote:Bill Maher thinks one reason Donald Trump became President of the United States is liberal culture’s concern with language.

“Democrats have gone from the party that protects people to the party that protects feelings. From, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you,’ to, ‘You owe me an apology,'” Maher said on Friday night’s Real Time With Bill Maher. “Republicans apologize for nothing, Democrats for everything. Can’t we find a balance?”

Maher is douchey at times but I think he's a pretty realistic guy.

Maher is always douchey, but gets things right on occasion. Witness: DJT.

I hate his view on religion, but he has called Muslims out for years

Maher is an idiot 98% of the time. But every once in a while he has a moment of clarity.

Maher is a 1-hit wonder. He's right about Islam. That's it.

I can't ever make it through a full show, but to Maher's credit, he has always called radical Islam for what is. He pretty regularly goes after his fellow liberals over their PC, don't hurt anyone's feelings approach to Islam. I mainly don't watch because he comes off as a douche.

The far left definitely has a problem with not understanding that there is no such thing as the right to not be offended. the whole point of free speech is that people are allowed to offend you.

we need to find out who took Johns account over.

However there's a difference between 'demanding to not being offended' and 'celebrating offending others'

Being PC is another way of 'not being a jerk'.

Isn't Maher more Libertarian than Liberal?

He tends to highlight his Libertarian views more often, if only as a way to challenge his very left leaning crowd, but he believes in government and would be considered to the left.

IIRC he considers himself a libertarian.

calling Maher a typical liberal is a massive stretch. I have no idea what to call him. he's all over the place on a lot of issues.

Plenty of Libertarians believe in government and social programs, he very well could be a left-libertarian.

I agree with him in that we need to find a balance because it is true that Republicans apologize for nothing and Democrats for everything.

I didn't know you were trying to make a point. I thought you were just stating your opinion.

Frankly, I don't get the talking point that the liberals are to blame for Trump unless everyone agrees that he is bad for the country.

Look at all the Bill Maher fans in here.

I don't want to hear a word from anyone on this board the next time we take the White House. We're going to stuff our agenda right down your throats and make you choke on it, just like Trump is doing. Oh, it's coming.
