Bill Maher, the host of HBO’s Real Time, admits to being as liberal as they come. But on the subject of radical Islam, he has been frequently outspoken with his own brethren. For the most prescient example of that, you may recall his recent spat with actor Ben Affleck.
Well, Bill was at it again during a late night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he fired away at those who refuse to call America’s enemy what it is.“It’s Muslim terrorists. This happens way too frequently. It’s like Groundhog Day…if the groundhog kept getting his head cut off,” Maher said. “To be a liberal, you have to stand up for liberal principles. It’s not my fault that the part of the world that is most against liberal principles is the Muslim part of the world.”
Bill saluted the murdered cartoonists from Charlie Hebdo, whom he said “had the balls of the Eiffel Tower.” When you’re in the business that Bill Maher is in, you’d better be ready to stand up for freedom of expression…which is exactly what the controversial comedian did, and quite admirably in this instance.
