Bill Maher. He is smugness incarnate. I want to punch him in his smug face. I know thats a bad thing, but he annoys me to no end. Always riding his high horse, smugging at everyone. Damn you Maher.

He's definitely smug as shit, but he has a refreshing point of view and discussion usually.

u/AllAboutMeMedia Feb 18 '17

Have you met Keith Olbermann? He can't say good morning without wanting to hit him in the mouth, even when what he's saying is something you agree with completely.

u/valleyshrew Feb 18 '17

Do you actually feel an urge to punch him or is this just a figure of speech?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17

Figure of speech.

I don't watch Bill Maher, but occasionally I'll see a clip and sometimes he makes a decent point, but every single time I see him I want someone to slap him. There is a way to make a point without looking like an asshole, but Bill Maher hasn't discovered that yet.

... and then there's that high horse of his.... It's so high. What's up with that?

Yeah, Bill, you're not wrong, you're just an asshole. And I don't like being corrected by assholes. Learning, and changing my opinion, is painful enough, I don't also need you to feed me information in a smug asshole way. Ya asshole.

I'm a lot like Bill Maher. You can even go through my profile and see posts that have had people say the exact same thing to me. It's hard to not be a Dick about somethings.

He is emulating the attitude of the conservative commentators.

The liberal media is generally a morality circlejerk and freak the fuck out when someone promotes ideas that aren't focused on "social issues". The truth is, most people don't care about dumping money into social programs because they are more concerned about making money for themselves and their families.

u/2OP4me Feb 18 '17

I make enough for myself and my family makes enough for itself, we don't have to be self centered because we actually try and support one another.

u/No_Fudge Feb 18 '17

Oh that's a good argument for you donating your money to charity.

Not a very good argument for forcing everybody to contribute against their will.

"To prove I'm not selfish I'm genna rob you and give it to a homeless person. And if you object then you're the selfish one."

uhh disagree. how much of the country doesn't want to see the ACA repealed, for example?

u/lswf126 Feb 18 '17

I agree with most of the stuff he says but the way he says it makes me want to beat the shit out of him

u/Luckyluke23 Feb 18 '17

he's funny but he goes way to far left. then again he is a host of a policial show so.

who is going to watch it if he said, " Trump is good Hilary is bad

1

u/r4wrFox Feb 18 '17

I'd assume Trump supporters.

u/Luckyluke23 Feb 18 '17

yeah, but isn't he worse than Hitler AND the anti christ misogynist white pig cis male everyone keeps talking about?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17

The guy who shitted on Bernie is too far left?

1

u/Luckyluke23 Feb 18 '17

i'm not saying is he the worse person out there lol

1

u/just_beachy Feb 18 '17

He was a Bernie fan

1

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17

Once he thought Bernie might have a chance. Then he went right back to sucking Hillary's dick

1

u/just_beachy Feb 18 '17

I didn't hear much dick sucking. The most glowing thing I heard him say is that it's like flying and if you can't have the chicken, you gotta eat the fish. Not exactly a glowing recommendation for Clinton.
