Maher had Jeffrey Lord on last night. Why does anyone give this nutjob a platform to spew nonsense?
Its Maher attempt to show how politically incorrect he is - "See I'm not a liberal, I invite Conservatives to my show as well" etc.

Finally back with a new season. Still the best late night talk on American TV.
Its between Bill and John Oliver for me and both are on fire this season, esp Bill.
Trump has been a great for late night in general

My brain can't get pregnant!
The show has become unwatchable now,he has trump derangement syndrome.
I think aside from his disgusting Iran comments today (which are to be expected as he is Jewish and exceptionally racist against Muslims and any Arab country) it was the best and funniest programme of this series. His New Rules were hilarious and his guests were brilliant this week.

I tolerate him and the programme because I'm mainly interested in his guests, not him personally.

In fairness, Trump has given everyone good reason to get deranged about him.
I have no time for Trump but he's become like a mad scouser who truly belives that F.A fixed it for us to win all want we won under SAF.

Honestly l started to watch this week,then l saw the names his guests Malcolm Nance(It's all the Russkies pimp) & Chris Hayes (I used to have integrity but l have kids now) just couldn't do it.

It's good that the American media is so unrelenting in going after Trump. That's what you've gotta do when it comes to a dick head like Trump.

He makes the (in my eyes) important distinction that while all religion is wrong and repulsive, they are not all equal with Islam being completely at odds with our modern, liberal values.

I thought he was raised Irish Catholic

No, it is not nonsense at all. He is extremely islamaphobic and racist at times.

Btw I'm an atheist myself so have no reason to take sides.
I don't think he's even close to being either. He simply calls out bad ideas, which is well in bounds.

He makes loads of Jew jokes (Unfunny ones) as well. He does need to draw a better distinction between being anti Muslim and anti Islam. He sometimes crosses the line into being a bigot and anti Muslim so I'd say calling him a Islamophobic has some merit. How is he a racist though?

He's just not as funny as he used to be which is his main problem now. His range of guests is the only thing keeping him relevant.

This segment is absolute genius and shows why Maher is in a league of his one. I'm very liberal, though not left-wing so I have my fair share of agreements (religion, free speech, foreign policy) and disagreements (economic policies) with him but he's the only political comedian that makes me laugh every single week with his wit. That and not doing any annoying voices during his show (take note John Oliver).

He's so good

If ever there was an embodiment of exactly my thoughts and thinking it's him.

Here, there, everywhere...

Does this pass of as liberal these days? I never watch this show but decided to have a look last night, and immediately hated myself. Who is this Zionist bitch? Criticizing a murderous apartheid state for it's atrocities is anti-semitic now? The weirdest part was the calling out Trump, and rightly so, for his 'shooting people who throw rocks' statement and then a few minutes late say Israel is a doing a great job by subjecting the Palestinians to the same. Morons the two of them.

And what was that weird hug at the end? Is Bill fecking her? Or is it some weird Donald-Ivanaka shit going on there.

That’s Bari Weiss, she seems to be on his show relentlessly now.

Edit. Having seen the clip now, given the personal circumstance can see why she is on.

I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important.
I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks that Bill Maher is equipped to talk intelligently on literature, let alone social and political issues.

The guy is a philistine and a fraud.

Bill Maher isn’t the brightest lamp in the street but you probably shouldn’t be getting so defensive about comic books either.
