Loved Bill's religious rant at the end this week it was so needed after 2 solid weeks of Pope-a-mania.

Unfortunately for him, I think each of the Catholic church New Rules that he said aren't in the Bible anywhere actually are. And they're not really obscure, either. I'm sure he's had a lot of people tweeting this at him.

The Quran puts men in power over women, just as any set of rules from seventh century Arabia would. Colonialism didn't invent patriarchy.

Ben, who appeared to be high on... caffeine... had no retort to the fact that an "old school" mentality is noticeably prevalent among Muslims when it comes to womens' rights, gays' rights, the freedom of religion, the freedom to not get murdered for drawing a cartoon, etc. He and the NYT guy tried to equate Maher's criticisms with racism against black people. I wish Bill had asked Michael Steele whether he chose to believe in blackness or if he was born black. Maher is a twat, but Muhammad's cult of personality is not a race, sorry.

It's much more thoroughly woven into culture than a mere by-product. Again, Affleck was fine with outright mockery of Catholicism in Dogma. He's the type of liberal Maher was talking about.

They're doing said violence in the name of whatever Drug Cartel Lord they serve though, no? The Middle East is still doing it in the name of Allah against Infidels... or what have you.

If I'm wrong, please correct me. I hate being wrong. :(

When people say the conflicts in the Middle East are about politics and economics, they're correct. When people say the conflicts in the Middle East are about religion, they're correct. Both sets of problems are real but there are some people who seem to want us to believe that religion could never be the motivation behind anything bad. Nobody would say such a thing about politics and economics.

Rushdie's been on quite a few times. Could be a coincidence, or maybe Bill wanted to get a hold of him due to recent events. It doesn't look like there's anyone on the panel who's going to make the insane argument that cartoonists should refrain from making jokes about Islam. I'm sure Andrew Sullivan will be on again eventually, though.

The thing that makes Islam's craziness unique is the belief that Muhammad was the best example of a man's behavior. And since Muhammad was born in the sixth century, his ideas about right and wrong are a little old fashioned, to put it mildly. This is why ISIS thinks it's fine to murder non-believers, have sex slaves, and marry children. And obviously, Muhammad was not a product of the "meddling West."

Islam is a problem because its adherents actually believe in its retarded ideology and tenets. If it were a moderated religion practiced by milquetoast adherents like European Christianity is, it would be exactly as threatening to liberal values as every other religion. That's the problem: Its believers believe and that makes them dangerous.

As George Carlin put it, "We stopped believing in our bullshit. They still believe in their bullshit!"

I just watched it, and if anything you're backwards. Dr. West was actually the insulting one by entirely dismissing the religion of slave-master point with a wordy tangent about Egypt. I'd have liked to see Bill combat where the discussion went much harder. To say that black people accepting Christianity as true was because Jews were persecuted in Egypt is incredibly asinine and furthers my confusion about why we take everything anybody labeled as an "academic" says as correct.

West might be one of those guys who thinks the whole Bible is actually about black people.

Prager is the worst of the right wing radio assholes because he has no sense of humor. Limbaugh produces something entertaining once in a while. Evil, but entertaining.

Was perusing the wiki page for Colin Quinn's old show Tough Crowd and was surprised to learn Bill's old show Politically Incorrect was a major inspiration for it. Any random episode of Tough Crowd uploaded to Youtube from an old VHS tape is far more watchable than Real Time. It's kind of insane to see how gung-ho almost all the comics were about invading Iraq, though. And you could get away with blatant homophobia too. Wasn't that long ago.
