But I'm past caring what he has to say about anything. He's not an authority, he's a comedian and not a particularly good one at that

but many here will still claim he isn't hateful to the Palestinians and act puzzled when you say otherwise. It's because many here agree with him and see nothing wrong.

He's a fan of Netanyahu.

It's what he does. The guy is ALWAYS attempting to be humorous and controversial. Its "his business mode". He may truly believe it, and probably does; but nobody ever accused Bill of being an intellectual or someone to be taken seriously.

Not the same, but similar to beck, coultier, king, etc. they say shit to be relavent...to keep their insignificant puss in the press. Otherwise we wouldn't give a rat's behind about them. The only difference is Maher can be funny...sometimes; rude and vulgar often, and ridiculous quite often.

George W. Bush. His comments about religion are especially racist against Arabs and directed against Muslims - I've seen a video of him on a televised program ridiculing Muslim women wearing the hijab. It's most offensive because US journalism is so weak, that many go to people like Maher for their truth.

If the Israelis threw Palestinians to lions and made human torches of them to light the spectacle he would say they had it coming.

These israeli arabs have fought and died for israel in its army against arabs. They are citizens of the state of israel! This is why vote suppression is so evil both here and in israel.
