America loves a winner!

For those who missed it....

Commenting on the reported story that the most popular name for babies in Great Britain this year was " Mohammed ".

"Am I a racist to feel alarmed by that? Because I am. And it’s not because of the race, it’s because of the religion. I don’t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam in 300 years?” - Bill Maher

C'mon Niki. Step right up and commence the bashing of this racist, red neck,xenophobic, bible thumping tea bagger......

Oh, hold up. You mean ANOTHER Liberal is seeing things clearly ?

Wow.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

If he violated the terms of his contract with HBO, or broke a long-running policy of theirs by making such remarks, they would be within their rights to fire him for it.

I'm sure Fox would hire him, though. Right?

The modern definition of "socialist" is anyone who's winning an argument against a tea-bagger.

JONGSSTRAW

Last week Mahr almost fell on the floor when guest George Clooney defended Republicans to him. Mahr was spouting his usual horseshit about Repubs "not caring about people" when Clooney read hinm the riot act and said most of his support for the Darfur intiative was coming from the Right. Poor little Bill Mahr....the whoremongering douchebag Liberal was left speechless. Good to see something like that coming from Clooney. Later, Rob Reiner called Tea Party activists Nazis and Hitler Youth, and things were back in the comfort zone for the miserable excuse for a human Mahr.

Clooney didn't exactly read him the riot act. He's gotten some support, or is still trying to get some support for republicans, and hopefully they will continue to assist. Who doesn't want to work with a celebrity when you can, and republicans have rare opportunities where they get to do that. This issue is apolitical enough for them to show they are human. But for Clooney's part, if he's trying to get support for this cause, why would it be smart for him to agree with Maher on this point?

That said, I think that Republicans are capable of voting against their best interests all the time in favor of what is "right," like anti-gay legislation, and tax cuts for the rich(as if the rich don't benefit more from american infrastructure than the rest of us, 50-fold)...

as to the topic at hand, Maher made one distinctive break from the kind of thing Juan said. Maher spoke to his concern about the propagation of Islam as a more general issue with fundamentalist religion in any form getting more control over our daily lives. But then, I think he would tell most people that currently Islam is more dangerous than other religions.

I'm not sure that's accurate, given that our false war tapped into religion enough to sell the boon-doggle, the "crusade." "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists"...blah blah blah, and over a hundred thousand people are dead because of it.

Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

It's more a reflection of the blandness and uniformity of modern Islamic culture (virtually every Muslim boy being called Mohammed), and Muslim immigrants in Western nations defining themselves more and more in terms of their religion I think - than a sheer number of Muslims.

For every 1 Mohammed there are 10 other English boys, all with different names.

There's nothing wrong with this quote in my book, though I see things a little differently.

It's not personal. It's just war.

I'm alarmed by that too and that's sad. Imagine if Christians got pissed off every time someone mentioned Jesus' or drew a picture of him. That is definitely something they need to get over, we're in full agreement there.

Well, with Maher, 'religious' bigotry is pretty much a given.

But can the same be said for Juan? And what of Christopher Hitchens ? ( OK, he likely sides w/ Maher on the religious bigotry camp )

But the question is, if so many on the Right AND Left see this, could there possibly be something to it ?

And what of France ? The land of brotherhood and equality... are THEY merely bigots as well ?

Yes on JW. I don't know Christopher Hitchens.

Just because a prejudice is popular does not make it true or right. We have struggled with similarly popular prejudices in the past (and even now), against against blacks, against women, against gays, against Jews. Trying to justify such prejudices with "could there possibly be something to it" is a promotion of bigotry.

"Brotherhood and equality" is just a motto, doesn't mean they actually apply it to everyone. The USA was the "land of the free" wasn't it, all the while supporting slavery and other forms of oppression for 100 years. It was only the "land of the free," IF you were white and male.

The French mainstream media is very bigoted. Once in France, I heard a news report say, "Two apartments burnt down in such-and-such neighborhood. It is a good thing it is a black neighborhood where we would not miss those apartments anyway." They do that sort of thing all the time, according to my French friends, who happen to be black and Muslim.

Yeah, we've made great strides since then. Now we're the "land of the free" just as long as you aren't brown!
