Bill Maher commits lese majestie against Progressive Liberalism.

Bill Maher demonstrates a real commitment to real liberalism by permitting ungood badthought guest to appear on his show, saying "If Mr. Yiannopoulos is indeed the monster Scahill claims—and he might be—nothing could serve the liberal cause better than having him exposed on Friday night.”

Good for Maher, who I usually find to be as welcome as a cold sore, although I have to grudgingly admit that he does seem to be the last liberal believer in a kind of free speech, albeit a free speech where he packs the room with people who agree with him..

On the other hand, this Daily Beast column is shocked - shocked! - by such a refusal to conform to progressive liberalism and repeatedly insinuates that Maher has let down the Good People by not pressing Milo on such objective and timeless questions as whether Amy Schumer is funny:

//We have both been disbarred at Berkeley,” said Maher, addressing how Yiannopoulos apparently “makes liberals crazy—for that part of liberalism that has gone off the deep-end.”

“You’re literally the only good [liberal],” replied a toadying Yiannopoulos. “Your side has gone insane. The Democrats are the party of Lena Dunham. These people are mental, hideous people. The more that America sees of Lena Dunham, the fewer votes the Democrat Party’s ever going to get.”

“Let’s not pick on fellow HBO stars,” said Maher.

Yiannopoulos then singled out Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman as “people who used to be funny before they contracted feminism,” before Maher, instead of pressing his guest, decided to change the subject again.

“Let’s talk about your humor,” said an extraordinarily accommodating Maher, “because I think a lot of people do miss your humor. And I’m a guy who always defends jokes, right up to the point where they pointlessly hurt people.” //

Interesting possibility: what if Maher agrees with Milo on these points?

Obviously that's inconceivable to the writer of the Daily Beast post.

The left has hoaxes...

....everyone else has videos of leftwing violence.


The Left holds itself to lower standards of behavior says Economist Walter Williams.

We see this and say "How can these people justify acting this way in order to suppress free speech."

Leftists see this and say "Those poor people provoked by Milo into protesting."

They told me that if Trump were nominated, the internet would be turned into a heavily censored medium of propaganda...

...and they were right!
