Maher is a piece of poo poo who only has a career because wealthy white "liberals" think that the highest level of sophistication is the economically conservative, racist rear end in a top hat who is "socially liberal" on the handful of topics white wealthy liberals care about (weed, same sex marriage, environment). See also: Andrew Sullivan.

Of course, leftists have hated Maher for a long time, the difference is that that is generally ignored (like when Scahill cancelled his appearance on Maher's show).

If you're gonna complain about Maher, make sure you factor in the segment with Jordan Peterson from last weekend, which can be summed up as basically the sequel to his segment with Milo Yiannopoulos.

I'd say it's the other way around- many Democrats likely believed in gay marriage in the last decade but were afraid to admit it. David Axelrod says that was true for Barack Obama before his views "evolved."
I mean more the things other than gay marriage. The bar for accepting gay marriage is kinda low, around the point of being fine with it as long as it can be kept at arm's length, and there's plenty of general population polling supporting the existence of that mentality at least. It's not nearly at the same point as thinking that there's something wrong with straight people finding gay romance repulsive.


Also the best thing about this whole "I got hacked!" thing is just how completely out of line that type of posting is with what actually happens when a blog or site gets hacked, which is that it gets filled up with either obvious vandalism, or a deluge of spam links to malware, scams, porn, and fake dick pills.

Okay. Yeah, agreed. Maher's an Islamaphobe, Reid's a corporate tool. She isn't exactly a villain, but she's no Nina Turner.

It's because the type of person who would get mad as poo poo over what Maher's said is not his actual audience, and HBO doesn't care and probably liked the "controversy". If one was still watching Maher by the time he dropped a slur, that means they've sat through years of him being a racist as poo poo Islamaphobe beforehand completely unperturbed.

This. There's not really much leverage that we Extremely Online People have over Maher, any more than we have over Reid. We can bitch about them both (and we have!), but that's kind of about it. I think most/all of us would be thrilled if both of them were fired. If Reid gets fired but Maher doesn't, that's not fair, and it's almost certainly a function of racism. But that doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to get fired, and I really hope she does.

No see it was a brilliant plan.

Sometime between the time Joy stopped using her blog (otherwise if it was done while she was still using it, she would've known), and the time she deactivated it (otherwise you can't hack a site that's gone), some nefarious dark web hacker broke into her blog - which again, was not in use, but still up - and spent the time to write up and post numerous, sometimes lengthy entries that were offensive.

Aand then...they just left. That's all they did. They didn't spread them around, didn't show her (at the time) new boss, just hacked their way into a mediocre, relatively unknown blogger's website to post lengthy offensive posts, and then just left. The archive crawls the site (before it gets deactivated), and these offensive posts are stored for posterity without her knowledge.

And then 10 years later the fruits of this unknown hacker's plan finally come to fruition and they can look them up in the archive and own her with them.

Reid is supposed to be a journalist working for a news organization and Maher is a talk show host who works for HBO. There are different standards.

The stuff she said is one thing. People's views change over time and that was a long time ago. No problem with her coming out and saying that (even if some of the stuff she said was horrendous). But lying about it and trying to throw a non-profit under the bus throws her journalistic integrity into question. It shows she's willing to lie and falsely accuse people of things they didn't do. Someone like that should not be employed by any news outlet.

Maher has always been a smug shithead. But his actions don't taint a news organization, just a premium cable channel.

I'd wager that a good portion of them are the type of people that spontaneously want to have debates about socially contentious issues because they've never had their humanity questioned or had to deal with life/death or survival consequences of their identity.

As soon as I saw this tweet I knew that every single response would be from people who sincerely use those arguments to demonize Jewish people and use it to set policy against them.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think even grown adults have the ability to evolve and form better ideas as time goes on. If someone's actions and words show that they've genuinely grown and don't agree with their past bad ideas then you should leave room to believe that. Unless you just don't think people can grow. Which begs the question of how smart you thought you were when you were 18.

But Reid clearly isn't doing a good job cleaning up, owning her bad ideas, and proving that they're in her past. So you know... good luck with that.
