Well done Maher for standing up to the pc crowd. There was a time when I thought political correctness was a thing right-wing populists talk about but which doesn't actually exist in any significant degree. I was clearly wrong there.

What concerns me is the ones upset were in my generation. My generation desperately needs more like Bill Maher

[TagSpamCop]

I love that he addressed the "controversy" by mocking that the "controversy" exists at all.
Never apologize, and mock them back.

"It's called fact-checking, Rolling Stone, look it up".

Oooooh. I can already predict the analdevastation this single line will cause.

[nerminsnowhuseinbasic]

Bill should have this segment constantly, it is fun, educational and delivered amazingly

[STSWBSGFAN]

Taking copious notes because there will be a test later.

[MrHydrium]

You know the country has gone to hell when Bill Maher is the fucking voice of reason.

[GirtonOramsay]

Why this story became "news"still blows my mind...

[noneofyourbusiness]

The fact that he is Muslim makes the joke even more hilarious.
