It's been clear for at least a decade that the only thing separating Maher from running his show on Fox News is his love of weed. If he could get the GOP to turn on that, he would make Dennis Miller look like Ellen Degeneres.

Bari Weiss definitely used to have a stutter and she likely internalized a lot of rage and self-loathing into this insane, grotesque, sociopathic ideology. Not to excuse her, because she needs to be up against the wall as well, but it explains some of it.

What part of what Bari Weiss said in this episode is so terrible for some of you? Nothing was particularly outrageous.

Both Israel and Palestine are wrong and stupid, but it is pretty funny how bigoted calling someone a "zionist" sounds.

Good points. Can totally see where you're coming from...?

Seriously, what the hell are you talking about? These people aren't perfect so you have to hate them! Also, you can't articulate why you hate them, except an oped on vox told you something once in a headline so you became OUTRAGED!

What did she say that's so bad in this episode? How is Bill a Republican if not for sex and weed? Are you exaggerating how obtuse you are to push some kind of anti-Bill Maher agenda?

It's funny how often posts in here read like reddit the donald posts reversed. Maybe try not being zealots, and actually discuss the dang show.

It's almost like Palestinians also routinely bomb Israeli neighborhoods and shops. Maybe both sides suck, and calling them Zionists is the same as saying you hate Jews.

Perhaps they aren't Zionists because it's more complicated than that.

I think it's really easy for atheists, in general, to get caught up in Islamophobia, because speaking from my own experience growing up in a completely non-religious household, in very non-religious places in general, it's a little difficult to understand why someone would practice a religion in a non-fundamentalist way, so there's a constant suspicion that religious people are always batshit insane just underneath the surface, and that paranoia is only exacerbated by cultures that put a high value on religious identity, and religions that people may not have closely encountered.

It's not until I had a good friend who was a practising Muslim that I reexamined my feelings toward Islam and Muslims in general. I suspect Bill just hasn't had that, and he's been such a vocal rear end in a top hat about his Islamophobia for so long that I doubt he ever will. It's too bad, but I can accept that he's got an interesting perspective at times, and a decent show, even if he really loving pisses me off sometimes. The comments on Israel this week were inexcusable, though.

As far as I"m concerned, Islamophobia is a nonsense term, because phobia means it's irrational. It's not irrational to be fearful of all religions, as (practically) all religion is terrible and support rape, murder, etc.

I don't care if some religious person you know is the nicest grandmother you've ever met. Either they're stupid for only "believing" parts of their bullshit religion as it only would make any divine sense if it's an all or nothing deal, or they're a fundamentalist who, by their own texts, is supposed to be killing everyone else. Not really a phobia to be afraid of that.

Bill talks about Islam more, and sees more Islamic area murdering in the name of that faith because it happens more in the name of that faith in the political (and real) world. I'm sure you'd all do your podcasts differently, but when its his job to talk about what's in the loving news, he'll talk about what's in the loving news.

If you want to bitch about what he actually said, do it. Using your buzzword bullshit to either join in on a dogmatic bandwagon or trying to create one does nothing but help other, similarly dogmatic agendas such as whatever the gently caress the Trump cult is or other terrorist organizations who thrive on separation of everyone but themselves.

My mental gymnastics?

They didn't even disagree that it's heinous and that Israel's aggression is wrong in this situation. They said that the Palestinian timing was political, as well as it not solely being due to moving the embassy.

Religion should absolutely not be protected by any government. Nor should it be encouraged. No religion should be respected, nor should any religious person be respected solely for their personal (moronic) beliefs. At best a religious person is objectively stupid who should be culpable for any crimes a person does in the name of that doctrine, when it's in line with their texts.

How you think that has anything to do with any Apartheid-like policies in that region is beyond any logical sense.

Imagine for a moment in place of Islam, Bill spoke about followers of another book which had wars raging in its name along with other countless murders, along with empirical data saying "moderate" readers of this book were totally okay with, and agreed with the brutal wars and murders just that they weren't up to carry them out. Things advocated by this book.

Would it be bookophobia? Because that's what he's talked about.

But nope, saying that there are political motives by group leaders among the victims of a heinous act is absolutely the worst thing ever? You've invented the thing you're outraged about.

Turns into? No. Encourages. Denying it in the name of acceptance is bullshit.

And it's not a phobia because it's not irrational. Religion is dangerous. Religious texts are murder, slavery, and rape guides. Why the gently caress do people otherwise outraged by the slightest intolerance okay with entire populations and sects writing law based on such intolerance? Islam is bad. Christianity is bad. Judaism is bad. Hinduism is bad. They're all loving bad.
