In reply to the discussion: Maher on Obama Library: "Couldn't that money be better spent on something else? Who's going to go to this?" [View all]SocialDemocrat61
(8,275 posts)146. Not those who watch
There are many who watch to see a particular guest but will criticize Maher afterwards.
But there are those who go out of their way to promote his show here every Friday and then come back on Saturday to praise the show without a word of criticism for Maher when he attacks democrats.
This is what he said on Friday

Do they support what they support what he said or not? Their silence is complicity.

The only thing left about Maher is the Democrats that have left him in the dust bin.

His show is effectively a right-wing talking point, so those posts should be reported as such.

Notice these clowns whining about the Obama Center leave out the fact that it was NOT tax payer funded?

I wonder if Maher is still going to love him some Trump if he pulls some support for Israel.

Perhaps you should direct that question to the Dem guests who are all too willing to appear on Maher's show
