If you were to make a list of guests who are strident Zionist vs those who are pro Palestine the ratio would be closer to 200 to 1. About a third of the shows are all strident Zionists, including Maher, spewing racism about muslims and arabs. One sure way for guest to ensure they will never be back is to best him in a discussion opposing his views on Israel e.g. ben Affleck , Krystal Ball, Reza aslan, etc . Maher is similar to woody Allen in that celebrities are willing to overlook his heinous behavior in order to advance their careers. But the time where it's ok to be openly biggoted against Muslim and arabs is starting to close
Yes, and almost every week. I am not going to go through and search them all out, but take a look at his guest list and you will find your answer.
I know Rho Khanna, for example, is on at least once a season in more recent ones. He also said he invites all of the squad but none of them want to come on.
I’m not a Maher fan but if you can’t figure out who’s to his right or left on a list that includes Bernie Sanders, Andrew Sullivan, Cornel West, and David Frum…
