[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the first few minutes he says "Chappell Roan is blowing up like a Hezbollah pager". Does anyone else not find this extremely disrespectful to the humans harmed by the pagers (who were not just Hezbollah militants but innocent bystanders including children)?[/quote]

He’s a comic, and jokes get a free pass…even if you find them distasteful.

Why?

Because context matters.

It would be distasteful for an elected official to say that, but it’s not judged through the same lens when a comedian with a show focused on pushing the envelope on such issues says it.

Trust me: nobody wants to live in a world where comics are silenced—particularly the ones focused on politics and pop culture. [/quote]

I guess what strikes me is that no comedian would joke this way about 10/7 and if you are trying to make a case that Israel is acting in a reasonable manner setting up the case dehumanizing others makes me think you are pretty biased to begin with. [/quote]

Sorry, PP.

The poster above you gets it. Just gets it.

You don’t want to ignore our comic sages. You just don’t, trust me. Their depth of knowledge makes political science professors tremble.  They know about sneering about those dumbassed kids who know nothing got it?  Respectfully, if you’re not twisting your mouth into a sneer while being reductive about his store ree then you’re not advancing the conversation in a productive way. If Jon Meecham isn’t smiling uncomfortably while you make your Points, why are you even opening your whore month here? Respectfully.

Bill Maher just spat truth. Accept it. Thanks.[/quote]

LOL, Bill Maher won't debate anyone. Why in the hell do you think him sitting there with no one challenging him, means he "spat truth"? Please just stop thinking him reflecting your own lack of history and education is "truth."[/quote]

It was sarcastic. No one with depth and a brain confuses Bill Maher for someone with depth and a brain.[/quote]

"no one?" no one in the world? Absolutely not a single person? You know this for sure?[/quote]

You just proved the PP's point. There is no genuine depth in his knowledge on this topic and the fact that you purposely ignore he won't allow an actual debate on his show ever at any point, is proving your own lack of critical thinking. How do you defend the fact that he is clearly scared to actually debate anyone who is Pro-Palestinian and instead, will bring on Zionists as if that's novel? He's been targeting Muslim for years. Do you ever recall him debating ANY Muslims on Islam itself or is that spot reserved for self-loathing ex-Muslims who were once fanatical and now get paid to be Zionist mouthpieces who get to lecture Muslims who've never broken the law ?

List the Muslims, Palestinians and Arabs Maher has allowed to DEBATE on his show. Just one.  That's why there is no depth to the brain of his viewers. You like the fact that he is one-sided and pretend he isn't a coward for being so. he seems to have Bari Weiss on speed dial but his producers simply can't find a single person to challenge her or him on their Zionism and BS takes on the occupation.[/quote]
