So… here’s the thing about Bill Maher.
He makes me really, REALLY angry. Far more angry than your typical run-of-the-mill TDS loser.
Why? Because I legitimately believe he knows better.
Bill Maher isn’t a stupid man. In fact, at one point I thought he was pretty brilliant.
His brilliance has given way to “Trump’s hair is ugly and his skin is orange” jokes on nearly every single episode of his show. TDS (and copious amounts of weed) have turned his once sharp mind into feeble goop.
This Friday we saw a glimpse of the once intellectually honest Bill Maher – and he got SHREDDED for it.
There’s no room for intellectual honesty on the left.
According to the Hill:
HBO talk-show host Bill Maher spoke out in defense of controversial right-wing host Alex Jones after Jones was suspended from several social media platforms, saying that everyone has a right to free speech.
Maher, noting that Jones has “told crazy lies” about him, said on his HBO show Friday that “if you’re a liberal, you’re supposed to be for free speech.”
“That’s free speech for the speech you hate. That’s what free speech means. We’re losing the thread of the concepts that are important to this country,” he continued.
“If you care about the real American shit or you don’t. And if you do, it goes for every side. I don’t like Alex Jones, but Alex Jones gets to speak. Everybody gets to speak,” Maher said.
Maher apparently didn’t get the memo that everything the left doesn’t like is “hate speech” … and “hate speech” ISN’T ALLOWED.
I’m not a fan of Alex Jones’. I’ve made that explicitly clear. But I’ve made the exact same argument. Alex Jones should not be forcefully silenced… he should be disproven with FACTS. Anyone who doesn’t believe that the coordinated silencing of Alex Jones is, in fact, a slippery slope… isn’t really paying attention.
But yeah, Bill Maher DARED toe that line.. and the thought police are OUT in full force:
For fuck sake. Bill Maher is defending Alex Jones on the grounds of free speech. He doesn’t fucking get it. #RealTime

Really? He doesn’t “GET IT”? What is there to get here?
Bill Maher is confused. He doesn’t understand that Alex Jones has no right to create hell for parents of dead children by using a private platform. No one is taking away Jones’ 1st A rights. Let him scream that shit on the street corner #noeducationBill

Free speech doesn’t protect vomiting on people in a dark theater

Huh?
Bill Maher can fuck all the way off. Fuck him, and his islamophobic, anne-coulter-is-my-friend, n-word-using worthless ass.

Fuck you Bill Maher, Alex Jones’ “free speech” = domestic terrorism https://t.co/UphitFkmZ5

No, Alex Jones does not get to speak, he should never be listened to nor given a platform. He should be locked in a rubber room. He spews hatred, lies & promotes violence. That is not freedom of speech half wits but thanks for normalizing him. Now fuck the fuck off both of you.

@billmaher fuck off. If you are a human you are supposed to protect people from harassment, threats and defamatory lies, especially the grieving parents of murdered children.
Defending Alex Jones.
Fuck right the fuck off. https://t.co/SSWXEty90k— Paul Boudreau (@PaulBoudreau83) August 19, 2018

Fuck you Bill Maher and double fuck Alex Jones.

Free speech is protection from being silenced by the government. No one has to let Alex Jones spew hate speech on a public forum. Bill Maher is a hyprocrite that fucks Ann Coulter. His opinion means nothing

No @billmaher, Alex Jones doesn’t get to fuck with other people’s lives with his lying bullshit.

It’s hilarious, really.
