I used to like Bill Maher, but now I hate him - he is a moron right wing nut.

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

Since when?

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 15 '24

When he opposed Bush and the Iraq war.

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

Seems like he has always been pretty left centrist, never extreme right wing like you are implying

13

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 15 '24

The way he has been speaking of the protesters is pretty extreme right wing. Putting Palestinians and Hamas in the same basket is extreme right wing.

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

Just like how I would say giving support for Israel and “people who support genocide” in the same basket is extreme left wing.

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 15 '24

That doesn’t make sense. The right wing supports Israel’s actions against the Palestinians and the left wing opposes it.

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

The right wing support Israel’s to defend itself* but that’s entire different conversation.

We are talking about extremes. By calling him a right wing nut, you are implying that Maher is an extremist which isn’t the case

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 15 '24

I think everyone supports their right to defend themselves, but you are either ignorant or worse when you don’t recognize that what Israel is doing is not self defense: it’s ethnic cleansing and a genocide. It’s an insult to the memory of the Jews that suffered the holocaust.

Yeah, Bill Maher saying the students are supporting Hamas, is extremely right wing. I’ll agree to disagree.

The hell it isn't. You'd be better off on jimmy dore comment section.. you will fit right in.

u/UncleTio92 May 16 '24

I have never seen a far right extremist who was anti trump, supported Covid mandates, openly drug friendly etc

u/IanSavage23 May 16 '24

Nevertheless, claim bill maher is not a right-wing extremist and that israel is just 'defending itself'.

You're in a...secular talk comment section. Kyle Kulinski has literally said what this guys is saying verbatim. Lol. Maybe you're the one who should go to the Dore sub. It's a genocide. And Mahr has gone right wing in the past few years. Kyle literally just did a video about it, saying just that. Do you not watch his videos? Are you aware of the sub you are even in?

u/IanSavage23 May 16 '24

Hey dilbert, i said THE HELL BILL MAHER ISNT A RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST. The person I was responding to is who you should have typed that to.

I watched Kyles vids on this AND AGREE 100% that it is a genocide, no question about it. bill maher and the guy defending him are the ones that think israel is defending itself and could care less how many civilians they kill.

How the hell did you get that I AM AGAINST KYLE and defending the murderous satanic lunatics running israel?

I will chalk it up to your very poor reading comprehension.. you probably do belong over at the crackpot jimmy dores site..

Do you think it's the left who are supportin Israel and their genocide?

-1

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

I'm on the left and I support Israel

2

u/BakerLovePie May 16 '24

Interesting. What part of the genocide do you feel you can support as a leftist?

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

i don't see it that way

u/BakerLovePie May 16 '24

ok lay it out how do you see it?

Yikes....

u/IanSavage23 May 16 '24

Because you put 'left' in your username doesnt make you left in any way, shape or form.... comrade bot

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

Whatever you say

-2

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

I would respond with right to defend themselves*

Depends on whose perspective you are looking at. Biden is considered left to some and is considered right by others.

I just hate the notion that you are considered extreme just because of your stance on the matter. You can be a moderate/centrist left individual and have an opinion

1

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 16 '24

Hamas is a terrorist group and putting them in the same bag as civilians is an extreme political view. This falls under the definition of extremist.

1

u/UncleTio92 May 16 '24

Reddit all the time makes statements such as “If you sit at the table with 9 Nazis, there are 10 Nazis at the table”

I will use that same idiom logic and apply that to Palestinians/Hamas

u/skeevester May 15 '24

I think when you are equating the pro-Palestine demonstrators with terrorist, you're already extreme right wing.

-1

u/UncleTio92 May 15 '24

With that logic, anyone who equates pro-Israel with supporting genocide is equally extreme (on the left). I just don’t like that logic. Both parties deserve to protest in peace.

u/skeevester May 15 '24

Except that the vast vast majority of Israelis are in favor of this genocide.So yes, by default, support for Israel is support for this genocide.

1

u/SatanIsMyBaby May 16 '24

Well, giving (supporting) Israel the means to do more ethnic cleansing and genocide whilst doing ethnic cleansing and genocide is supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide.

u/IanSavage23 May 16 '24

Bullshyt, he is center-right AT THE VERY LEAST.

u/IanSavage23 May 16 '24

Been at least 5 years... AT LEAST.... You get marooned on an island or been in a coma for last 5 years??
