Bill Maher Isn't a 'Politically Incorrect' Liberal, He's Just a Bigot

• firstlook.org/theintercept

It hasn't been pleasant viewing, but Maher really does appear to be in rare form these days. Between him sharing his fears about the terrifying number of babies today being named Muhammad, to complaining about Muslims in America who "bring that desert stuff into our world" — the first question that comes to mind is: this guy is a liberal?

Watching his increasingly outlandish public performances, one gets the sincere impression that Maher believes that since he smokes weed and supports gay marriage it's impossible for him to be a bigot. Needless to say, it's become glaringly obvious that self-awareness is not really his strong suit.

Maher last week got into a rather heated argument on his show with Ben Affleck over the broadly defined subject of Islam and Muslims. Maher, who became visibly scandalized by Affleck's suggestion that most Muslims are normal people, launched into an indignant tirade about the Muslim world, alleging, among other things, that Islam "acts like the Mafia" comprised of people who will "fucking kill you" for trying to leave.
