2009: Wikileaks good, Republicans bad

This is how arts get made.

I don't need to read a juicy inside tell-all to know the Clinton campaign was an absolute dumpster fire supported only by reluctant progressives and partisan loyalist hacks who are so out of touch and in their own bubble that they still don't understand why their candidate lost.

Definitely right-wing on economics, but I'd argue they trot out namby pamby social issues every once in a while in an attempt to give the left something to come out and vote for. Her whole campaign was #IfYouDontVoteForMeYoureSexist

Ah well of course I see where you're coming from. I don't think of myself as an ideologue, as I'm always willing to reconsider and change my opinion when presented with facts that challenge my perception, but as far as "Bernie extremism" goes, you're essentially describing a somewhat open-ended spectrum of…

I wasn't calling him elderly as a negative, nor was I using the word Jewish as a pejorative. They are simply identity descriptors. Bill Maher is a secular Jew, he has Jewish heritage, Judaism is an ethnoreligious category. You're playing rhetorical games here and however well-intentioned, it just comes off as an…

He also called trans people "weirdos" on the Overtime clip for that Milo episode, to which Milo giddily responded, "Did you just call all transsexuals weirdos!?" Maybe he meant to say "some transsexuals," but it's never explained and just comes off pretty distasteful and dismissive of their rights.

Well I'm not a normal human, clearly I'm a reprehensible bigot. Shame on me for committing such an outrageous micro-aggression! Your self-righteous indignation will be needed for at least 7 more comments until rhetorical justice has been adequately served.

True that they are both dangerous in their own ways for different reasons. Plus Maher certainly has a more personal stake in his vitriol for Trump considering their history. I want to say I'd trust that Billy Boy would fairly take HRC to task but after cringing through his election coverage and now witnessing his…

Does his audience know what a podcast is?

I think that's an interesting thought experiment. Ted Cruz, I mean. The guy is in many ways more dangerous than Donny, as an ideologue who knows exactly what he's doing. Trump is a buffoon consumed by ego, but Cruz is in another league of evil and Bill Maher would have a field day tearing his agenda apart, as a…

I was born and raised in Jersey and I now live in the midwest, so I don't mean coastal elite as a catch-all pejorative so much as I mean it as a descriptor for the way conservatives feel about these folks. They see a person of influence representing other left-leaning peeps like myself, and all I can tell you is, they…

Fucking cry about it!

AVC is awesome (srsly it is an outstanding pop culture website) but man, there are some really regressive liberals hanging around these comment sections. I'm very much a leftist when it comes to politics, but sometimes it is just absolutely embarrassing to be associated with some of these people. If you go against the…

Yeah and your smug condescension is really making you look like an independent thinker.

I made a lot of points in my original post about Bill Maher's intellectual failings, the ways in which he as a left-wing person of influence hurts our side of the aisle more than he helps. Do you not have anything else to argue outside of calling me a bigot?

Don't tell me what my problem is. You're talking out of your ass.

I was actually acknowledging his status as an economically advantaged intellectual living in a predominantly liberal bubble, I'm sorry your mind construed it as antisemetic. How oppressive of you.

If you type "elderly lapsed Catholic Jewish coastal elite" three times in a Breitbart comment section, it is said the soul of Andrew Breitbart appears from beyond this earthly realm to issue a single upvote
