Bill Maher is a doorknob, but I may have just a little respect for him since he has pissed off the socialists in Berkeley.

    As a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, I have always been proud of my university. However, the decision to bring Bill Maher as a speaker is offensive to me and my community of Muslims and Arabs. Free speech should always be protected, however when you use this speech to spread harmful stereotypes, you should not be honored for your speech. He has dehumanized Muslims numerously, he has used generalizations to speak about us, he disrespects those who speak out against his bigotry, and his views are toxic to audiences in that he only discusses Islamic extremism as if its representative of all Muslims, perpetuating fear and hatred of American Muslims in the US. Berkeley knows better than to support hate speech and bigotry. This campus would never support a speaker who has made anti-semitic or homophobic remarks, so I really wish it would give its Muslim and Arab constituency the same courtesy. Please find someone whose shares Berkeley's values, this man definitely doesn't.

    In short, Maher ranks way above Cal.

    "Free speech should always be protected", as long as it doesn't piss me off.

    Wow, just wow.

    Derek saying this quote is the ultimate irony.

    Bill Maher is a stupid cunt. He knows nothing and his jokes suck. He is the left version of Rush.

    I actually really like his views on religion. Completely agree with him on that area, just burn them all down and do away with the lot of them.

    If he sticks to religion, he is gold.

    I did find it funny once when he made fun of W for saying he read over a hundred books during the summer. The conservative guest challenged Maher saying if Bush said 1 book he'd make fun of him. Maher laughed and said ... you're right.
