Berkeley Muslims Prove Bill Maher’s Point
2014-10-29
h/t Instapundit
What was it that Bill Maher said that got him into hot water with leftwingers and Muslims?

Right — he slammed their intolerance, their illiberalism. He noted that too many — not all, but far too many — Muslims respond to challenges with rage, with violence, even with murder.

Maher also criticized many on the left who turn a blind eye to that Islamic intolerance, while they slam Christians who, say, oppose being forced to furnish flowers for gay weddings.
Well, Christians won't cut of your head.

#10  "The Left doesn't do murder"

Only about a hundred million in the 20th Century (see Mao, Stalin, Hitler [as in Nationalist Socialist Workers Party]). Why do you think the Left here wants to be more 'European'? Why do you think they are always behind gun confiscation?

#7  Murder, Yes. If one thinks of Bill Ayers and the Weathermen, they committed murder. The Black Panthers were not opposed to occasional murder. Lee Harvey Oswald was a leftist and he is attributed with the JFK assassination. More recently, a Black Panther supported the attempted ax murder of NYC police by a Muslim extremist. New Black Panther support for Muslim extremist.

#3  Way beyond time to punch back twice as hard.

#2  Wait to see what Maher says about his shunning. Is he going to whine and beg to get back on side, or will he stand up for what he said and "push back twice as hard"?


Nah, I don't think so either.

#1  All VIP leftists take note. Nobody, nobody is beyond the purge. In fact, first gens like Mahar need purging, since they have seen another way, and dissidence against it, are more likely to speak out about the new way peoples' revolutionary thinking. Cows for the slaughter, or heretics for the pyre.

Welcome to the party Mahar, but you are still a piker until they petition to keep you out of professional sports investments.
