Things To Never Say To A Fan Of Bill Maher

Bill Maher is a self proclaimed “old-school liberal” comedian who has come under fire for his controversial views on race, religion, and sexuality. If you know someone who is a Bill Maher fan, here are things you should absolutely never say to them.

Just saw him on TMZ and he said "Liberals will never listen to the other side and live in an echo chamber".

Okay then I'll open my mind, so I flipped over to Fox News and Rudy Giuliani was begging the My Pillow guy to hold a fundraiser for his defense fund.
 
The other side: Continued tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, criticism of unions, election denial, culture wars, autocracy, climate change denial, environmental destruction, racism, xenophobia, white privilege, attacks on Social Security and Medicare, banning of "woke" books and the cult of Trump. Okay Bill, I listened.
 
I’ve watched a lot of BM over the years and he annoys me regularly. But, he was on Rogan’s podcast recently and fully raked Trump over the coals in response to Rogan saying Biden was “just as bad”. I don’t listen to JR’s podcast but I imagine he rarely gets challenged by his guests so I’ll give Maher props for that.

Bill is the tip of the Hollywood spear for ignorant left wing assholes who think "neoliberal" must be good because "liberal" is part of the name. He's probably rallied against woke more than the entire Republican Congress combined.

My read on him is he’s a young Boomer or a very old Gen Xer who gets pissed when there are consequences for what he says, and doubles down.

Comedians are sort of on the front lines of whatever “cancel culture” is. Some of them handle it deftly and some of them are Bill Maher.
 
In case you had trouble understanding what I just said, maybe this will help,
Woke. Woke woke woke, wokely woke-woke. Wokeness woke woker woke woke libtards woke. Woke and wokestly woke woke, but woke woke woke wokety-woke. So, woke.​

Yeah, I listened to the "other side". and it seems like we occupy 25 miles of shoreline while the "other side" is Gilligan's lagoon.
 
I used to watch his show, but he said enough things laced with prejudice that I just found unpalatable - got to the point that almost everything he said was rubbing me the wrong way, so I just stopped.

We are all of us the same, yet unique. Embrace our differences - celebrate and cherish them. This is what we should be teaching our children. Anyone promoting prejudice is guilty of hate speech.
 
His show is returning without the writers, due to the strike, which is a controversial move. The monologue is the weakest part of the show, IMO, so it’ll likely be an improvement.

Bill Maher Becomes First Host to Make Late-Night Return Without Writers — Vanity Fair

“The show I will be doing without my writers will not be as good as our normal show, full stop,” Maher said on social media. But Real Time will return anyway, despite the WGA strike.

No, he's just an old school liberal who didn't become a progressive.

Mostly he’s rich and smug, which plenty of people from both sides don’t like. He’s also getting into his “get off my lawn!” years. Bill Burr’s comedy is also heading in this direction but at least he admits he’s completely out of touch with the world today and is uncomfortable with it.

The progressives have been around since the turn of the century. It's kind of hard to separate the two terms in modern American politics.
