In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher went way too far Friday night and I hope he gets what's coming to him. [View all]IngridsLittleAngel
(1,962 posts)38. Bill Maher's been attacking the trans community for forever now...
It's why some of us gave up on his phony "liberalism" and his show many, many years ago. Ohhh, sure, he may agree with the Democrats on some things. But not enough. And when it comes to the trans community, he's not a friend. He never has been, and I doubt he ever will be.
Despite that, he's said enough over the years to fool a lot of people into thinking he's a friend and ally to progressive causes. Plus, of course, some people here don't think very much of trans people either, so, they aren't bothered one but by Maher's transphobic bullshit.
Fuck Maher. And fuck his phony victim bullshit.

He was always an asshole. That's a trait that can work for his "call it as I see it" comedy...

I've noticed that as well. For a "liberal", he sure seems to have a lot of hate...
