Maher is Less
Bill Maher Saturday said America loves its military members the way disgraced football player Michael Vick loves dogs. In his HBO special "Bill Maher...But I'm Not Wrong," the outspoken comedian went on a vulgarity-laden two-minute rant against Republicans and the troops. "For the longest time, every Republican election has been based on some sentimental bulls**t: the flag, or the flagpin, or the Pledge," he mocked. (NewsBusters, 2/14/2010)
Bill Maher is another in a series of elitists who make their living mocking traditional American values like faith and patriotism. His comments are a cruder take on Obama’s view of people “clinging to guns and religion.” The problem, we suspect, is that Maher’s frame of reference is L.A. and Manhattan, missing everywhere in between.

For some reason I don't have a problem with Bill Maher. Yes, his opinions are often times obnoxious to RedStaters, but they flow logically from his frame of reference, L.A. and Manhattan, as you noted. He doesn't try to obscure any opinions that might cut against the grain of prevailing public opinion. He is, in short, politically incorrect, for a far left vantagepoint. His honesty allows him be friends with his polar opposites, like Ann Coulter. I can respect that.
ReplyDeleteI think Maher got a bum rap for his post 911 comments - about the bravery of the terrorists. I understand why people found it upsetting at the time, but it at least had the benefit of being true. Calling a suicide bombers cowards, as Bush did, was just silly.
