Bill Maher Skewers The PC Police Over "Chinese" Virus Outrage - Blames China For Coronavirus

Every so often leftist Bill Maher gets it right. He's spot on when it comes to Islamic extremism and his support of Israel, and I'll now give him kudos for chiming in on the whole Chinese Wuhan Virus issue.

In the video, he brilliantly skewers the perpetually offended PC folk who are calling anyone who mentions anything about China in reference to the Coronavirus/Covid19 Flu as racists, in spite of the fact that many viruses have been named from whence they originated.

"Seriously, it scares me that there are people out there who would rather die from the virus then call it by the wrong name. This isn't about vilifying a culture. It's about facts, it's about life and death. We're barely 4 months into this pandemic, and the wet markets in China- the ones where exotic animals are sold and consumed - are already starting to re-open. The PC police say it's racist to attack any cultural practice that's different than our own. I say liberalism lost its way when it started thinking like that. And pretended that forcing a woman to wear this [photo of a burka] was just a different way instead of an abhorrent human right's violation. It's not racist to point out that eating bats is batshit crazy."

It's worth a watch.

Sidenote:  there are people who question the theory that the Wuhan Flu originated from consuming bats, but since other viruses have originated in those wet markets we need to make sure they are shut down forever.

Bill Maher Confronts Howard Dean After Claiming Muslim Terrorists Are As Muslim As He Is

Bill Maher ripped fellow uber-liberal, former presidential hopeful Howard Dean- infamous for that campaign scream, oh so long ago- for claiming, during the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo and Kosher deli massacres, that Muslim terrorists aren't, well, Muslim. Of course, he's not alone, but it's good to see Maher take him to task.

Howard Dean had said that the terrorists in Paris were "about as Muslim as I am," and after being confronted by Maher, he comes up with a pretty darn stupid explanation for why he believes that.

Interesting note- the audience kept applauding Dean.

Video on Mediaite.

And for a little humor, here's someones remix of that Dean scream.

Imagine if he had actually won the 2004 presidential elections.

Bill Maher Skewers The Left's Obsession With The Republican "War On Women"

During his Sept 26 show, Bill Maher lambastes the misplaced outrage of liberals over the Republican Party's alleged "War on Women" versus their lack of concern over the horrific life women in Muslim majority countries are subjected to.

He almost sounds like a conservative here. Quite something for a liberal atheist.




Here's the longer version.

Bill Maher Blasts Hamas For Attacking Israel

So yesterday I wrote about Jon Stewart skewering Israel for trying to defend itself.  Sadly, he seems to represent a large portion of humanity that does not see Israel as having that right, with some believing that it has no right to even exist. Hamas has made the latter quite obvious. It's right there in the charter. In light of that fact, the Israelis have exercised an incredible amount of restraint over the decades it's been the target of relentless rocket attacks from Gaza. I mean, what do you do when your neighbours make your life a living hell with aggressive and violent behaviour?  Do you sit back and take it, knowing they want to annihilate your people. Do you leave your borders open knowing that your Palestinian neighbours breed suicide bombers like rabbits, and even honor and celebrate them. That the Palestinians (the P.A. and Hamas) pay the families of those suicide bombers, and the terrorists in Israeli jails are paid a monthly salary. I've seen the houses of people living in sketchy areas of certain cities- the bars on the windows, the locked gates. People just trying to protect themselves and their property. There would be no need for a blockade if the Palestinians stopped provoking Israel. And it's not just Israel, Egypt too has a blockade. No-one seems to care about that.

Bottom line, if the Palestinians wanted peace with Israel, a treaty would have been brokered many moons ago. But they don't want peace, they just want them gone.  And that's not going to happen, as long as Israel has any say in the matter. So they will continue to defend themselves, and the world will continue to see the Palestinians as victims and the Israelis as the evil occupiers, even though Israel does not currently occupy Gaza.

Surprisingly, one liberal has come to Israel's defense.  Then again, it's Bill Maher- one of the few liberals who sees Islamic extremism for what it is- a threat to the Western world.

On his latest HBO show, he acknowledges that Palestinians have a legitimate gripe, but does not agree with the argument from much of the world "that they also have the moral high ground."  Like most of us, he feels bad for the civilians that are dying, but he posits why no-one asks - whose fault is that?

"I feel terrible for a Palestinian child who dies, but if it's your father, your brother, your uncle who's firing those rockets into Israel, who's fault is it really? Do you really expect the Israelis not to retaliate?"
LJReview.com lists the other major points Maher made:

The death of innocents in Palestine is their fault for firing rockets at Israel in the first place.Hamas would kill all Israelis if they could, but even though Israel does have that ability, they do not.Israel must win every single military conflict in order to survive.The Israeli focus on science technology vastly exceeds that of the Arab world.Israelis are right to consider threats to their lives as more important than world opinion.The Palestinians seem to have choosing to be angry refugees as a way of life.Israel isn’t going anywhere and the rest of the world needs to face up to that fact.

I hope some day there is peace in that region, but I 'aint holding my breath.

Bill Maher: "Liberal Bullsh*t" Comparing Islamic Violence To Christianity

The only thing that liberal Bill Maher can be lauded for:  his views on radical Islam. He knows the danger and isn't afraid to discuss it.

On his HBO's "Real Time", Maher gets into it with fellow liberal CSU-San Bernardino professor Brian Levin- of the Center for Study of Hate and Extremism.

Since Levin studies "crazy people who do terrible things", Maher wondered how people like the eldest Boston terrorist bomber could hold two  contradictory mindsets, citing his Internet profile that stated his world view as Islam, and his personal priorities as career and money.  He then mentioned the 9/11 hijackers who visited strip clubs the night before they boarded the plane. Cutting him off, Levin launched into a diatribe about it not being just an Islamic issue.  Maher then called Levin's contention that it's not only Muslims who are hypocritical and do "wacky things"- "liberal bullshit."


“You know what, yeah, yeah,” Maher said. “You know what — that’s liberal bullshit right there … they’re not as dangerous. I mean there’s only one faith, for example, that kills you or wants to kill you if you draw a bad cartoon of the prophet. There’s only one faith that kills you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith. An ex-Muslim is a very dangerous thing. Talk to Salman Rushdie after the show about Christian versus Islam. So you know, I’m just saying let’s keep it real.”
In comparing religions, Maher asked could they do "The Book of Islam" -referring to the play "The Book of Mormon" currently running on Broadway. We all know the answer to that question, Levin does not.

Bill Maher was the clear winner in that debate.

Here's the full interview.

Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Pisses Off The Left With Video About Welfare Freeloaders

Alexandra, Nancy Pelosi's documentary filmmaker daughter, filmed a piece on redneck voters in Mississippi last week that caused a stir. To be fair, she also filmed a piece on welfare freeloaders or "freeloading welfare queens" as she calls them, in New York City that has the left hopping mad- because it's okay to lambaste toothless rednecks who will vote Republican, but not okay to criticize  those who will vote for Obama “because he gives me stuff,” and “because he’s black.”
You have to give her and Bill Maher credit for having the cojones to air it on "Real Time" in spite of the fact that HBO honchos were dead set against it.

Pelosi said,
“We have to address the fact that this is why Democrats are losing ground. And this is a problem in America. The entitlement culture has gotten so big that we are losing our own people."  

Ouch. But she's absolutely right.
