Bill Maher defends Ann Coulter in Berkeley free-speech fight

[Pogo]

Is Maher becoming a Libertarian? I admit I don't watch him much but I used to catch him now and again. The first Amendment is cherished in America because it doesn't exist anywhere else in it's simplicity and broadness.

Bill Maher defends Ann Coulter in Berkeley free-speech fight

Liberal political comedian host Bill Maher said the University of California, Berkeley is the "the cradle for f—king babies" after the university caved to pressure and disinvited — and later re-invited — conservative commentator Ann Coulter as a speaker.

"Berkeley, you know, used to be the cradle of free speech," Maher said Friday on his HBO show "Real Time" during an exchange with conservative commentator S.E. Cupp. "And now it's just the cradle for f—king babies," he added.

You must not be paying attention. Coulter is a regular on Maher's show, as are any number of voices from any corners he can find. That's what Liberalism is about: free expression, open discourse.

Well thanks for your usual pile of horse shit.

Today's Liberalism is about trashing America and America's rights and values.

^^ Shining example of what I just described in post 12.

We might call it "rhetorical fascism". As in "don't tell me what you believe I'LL TELL YOU what you believe".

He is simply adding common sense to his repertoire these days. He has been without it for so long, things that make sense to others have become like starlit epiphanies to him.
A lack of free speech is having a detrimental effect on his occupation. Snowflakes have shut down comedians from colleges campuses because of their biases. Maher finally gets that he could be next. He's growing up and embracing reality, instead of ideology.

Again, Ann Coulter is one of his favorite recurring guests. They've been doing that for literally years.
And before this, Maher was fired by ABC for engaging in the same thing --- free speech.

So again --- another clueless wag not paying attention. I don't even have a TV and I know this much.

Rick Santorum is also a frequent guest on his show.

He's just another phony hack. He pops up with these 'contrarian' statements every once in a while just to get attention and promote himself.

the fake Left's ring masters are getting nervous about their little violent racist Frankensteins; it's sinking in to them they're not winning and their media is worthless, so time to re-spin the messages and hope they can still fool some of the people some of the time to 'come back'.

He is calling Bernie crazy. It is crazy because I would expect many of those protesting violently were supporters of him. Maybe a few of them were even at his rallies. It is also crazy and ironic coming from Bernie because his socialist Utopia that he subscribes to, ultimately would lead to such absolute silencing of dissent, it was already happening in smaller doses in America before Trump won the election.

The difference is that the consequences of Sanders socialism as it "evolved" would be even worse than a few scratches, bruises and broken store windows. In Russia they called them Gulags, in China the "Great Leap Forward" or "re-education systems".

I know, I know, it seems so remote from todays America and I'm sure Sanders doesn't desire such a society in America. The problem is, that's how the seed of socialism grows, by the time he is long gone it will become something far different than he believes it would be.

Socialism and the quasi-communism which I have spoken so much about on this site are soulless, spirit crushing, unnatural monstrosities unleashed on society.

Nonsense. Have you ever watched his show? It is probably one of the most balanced political discussion shows on TV. He always has republicans and conservatives on his panel. Some are the most controversial spokespeople in the news. He has so many of those that various liberal groups have called for boycotting his show. The Republicans and conservative are given the opportunity to counter any comments he makes, and they do.

 

[Pogo]

He is calling Bernie crazy. It is crazy because I would expect many of those protesting violently were supporters from him.

Number one, I didn't ask you, since it isn't your characterization --- it's his.
Number two, "I would suspect" is entirely speculation on your part anyway, and a baseless one at that, so you've hired your own strawman to deliver the conclusion you already had. Which renders your point meaningless.

Thus the question stands --- why is it "crazy" to condemn stifling of free speech?

You have no answer, and neither does he.

It is also crazy and ironic coming from Bernie because his socialist Utopia that he subscribes to, ultimately would lead to such absolute silencing of dissent, it was already happening in smaller doses in America before Trump won the election.

Complete load of crapola. Again, same strawman working overtime with speculation "woulda" fallacies. Back in the world of reality (q.v.), the "socialist utopia" Sanders most often uses as an example is ............ Denmark. Remind the class again how 'absolute silencing of dissent' is going on in Denmark.

As for Rump and threats to free speech -------------- this is STILL not going away:

​

Now that really IS crazy. Bernie Sanders never said anything remotely like that. Bill Maher never said anything remotely like that.

Go ahead, prove me wrong. And by the way WAKE UP.

Yep.

Maher is one of the few remaining traditional liberals to be found. He can actually be honest, and get along with people who dare to disagree with him.

Go figure.

And before this, Maher was fired by ABC for engaging in the same thing --- free speech. Dinesh d'Souza was the guest in that case IIRC. And that was like sixteen years ago.

So again --- another clueless wag not paying attention. I don't even have a TV and I know this much.

Then you understand the irony in what you posted. You have proven that Bill Maher understands how valuable free speech is when it is his free speech that is being threatened.
Then: Ann Coulter/recurring guest.
Now: Just don't come. We are cancelling your visit. Ok then, have it your way Ann. Enter at your own risk, just like Milo, and expect trouble and hatred and violence on the part of our students. Keep bodyguards close.

Spring for a TV, so you'll know what the rest of us are talking about...

 

[IsaacNewton]

What exactly do people want to happen? Students are free to protest and express their 1st amendment rights as well. A few get physical, just as when drumpf supporters drink too much and show up. Don't like the loud exercise of free speech? Ann Skeletor should find another venue. It's obvious the media whore wants the attention.

 

[AgentSparky]

Berkeley should be ashamed of itself for not being able to control its own public events and for letting it reach such a high publicity level that no matter when she speaks it's going to be a riot, for sure. Now there will be anti-protest protesters there along with the protesters against Ann and let's not forget the ANTIFA thugs who security is apparently powerless to keep off campus. Plus every news organization in the nation and some from overseas, just for shits and giggles.
I swear this is absurd.

First time for everything. I just rated your post "Agree" . Well said.

I wish there were a way to turn that video into a serum and inject it into every Regressive Leftist on the planet.

They've gone so far from Maher is saying, it's just sad to watch what they have become.

He's a traditional, honest liberal. Freedom of Expression, let's hear it.

Unlike the authoritarian mutants masquerading as liberals today.

Mac, you should check out Dave Rubin's youtube channel:

He's formerly from The Young Turks but don't hold that against him. Although I fall slightly right of center, I'm still a proud subscriber and I like a lot of what he has to say about classic liberalism.

Absolutely. It's hard to believe that he started out with the Young Turks.

I wish they had listened to us before they lost their party and before people got oppressed and beaten. Now I fear we are going to end up with a single party and that is not good for the nation.

Lefties, please also watch this one:



Also, do not just join the Republican party even if it does look like a good fit. Take a look at the third parties; the libertarian, the greenies, the veterans party, and all the others out there struggling to get a foothold. These parties /need/ support in order to even get on the ballots. I think they need 250,000 signatures. I think there are enough "sane" and "classical" liberals out there to finally bring multiple parties back to the docket and right this terrible wrong.

I understand that you hate Trump, so do not mistake what I'm going to say here, but I do believe that Trump is not a Republican either, yes it's the ticket he ran, but he was also a Democrat, he was in the Reform Party and he left it because they went racist (look it up.) He is on this "classic liberal/libertarian" theme more than you think (I'm sorry your media lied to you, and I know it's hard to believe, but just hear me out okay) I truly believe that he would support getting rid of the stranglehold restrictions that the R's and D's put on third parties intentionally to consolidate their power, and rob us of choices. Those sigs, R's and D's only need like 35,000 sigs - it's totally fucked up and I believe there's other restrictions and shit - like does your state have a viable "Independent" Candidate? has it ever? Well it happens up here often because Alaskan's are mostly libertarians and capitalists, in fact they win a lot of districts and stuff up here, but we end up going R because a lot of our people vote straight R tickets, just like a lot of "classical liberals" vote D tickets - not because they see what's going on, but because that's what they do (my "classical" liberal mother did it for her entire life, until this year, she then made the mistake I ask you folks not to and joined the R ticket.)

I think WE can fix it, and I think Trump is one of the only President's that might push for it. So even if you want to hate /him/ at least support this one idea and give everyone an actual choice instead of just passing the ball between two sides of the same coin...

Also, I messed up the quote function somehow above sorry...

Just want to say, this is a great post --- with the exception of the idea that Rump is in any way open to Liberalism. He's certainly displayed open contempt for the Constitution, the First Amendment particularly (see post 28). But other than that objection, applause applause.
