Today’s cartoon is another fine example of liberal ignorance and bias. BOTH the left and the right are guilty of the issues examined in this comic, and in many of the cases the activities of the left are far more egregious than the actions by the right.
DARKHORSESKI It was pretty much established around third grade that when your best comeback was " Well, yeah but so are you", that you had lost the argument.
Dianne Lee, for the GOP, it’s a doctrine. If they can point to someone, anyone, anywhere, in any time period, who has done something (hopefully) worse than (but they’ll settle for “vaguely similar to”) what they’ve decided to do or have done, then it’s all OK!
This is probably why they object to WW2 comparisons. They’re saving them to justify themselves later.
I wonder who watches RT (“Russia Today” or “Russian Television”)? Of the several foreigh networks shown on WYCC, our secondary local educational station (e.g., NHK, CNC, DW) RT broadcasts little about its own country. It’s focus is almost solely about rotten things happening elsewhere in the world, mainly the U.S. It used to be on air at 7 PM in our area; now it’s on at 2 and 3 AM. It’s slickly presented propaganda, snide and supercilious. (I wonder where the commentators are educated and hired from?) I used to watch it just to spot the clever distortions and cute (acute?) bending of the facts to meet a Russian political point of view. But after the continuing situation with Trump and Putin being so cozy, I have no stomach for it anymore. I suppose we should feel secure enough to tolerate such broadcasts as RT, but I for one no longer find it interesting or amusing. Is that wrong?
Bill Maher opened his interview with Milo saying, “Your views are abhorrent to me but if I didn’t talk to people whose views were abhorrent to me, I’d be talking to myself.”At no time did Bill Maher high-five Milo or encourage him in any way or call him Bro.The only point of agreement they had was over being rejected on college campuses that don’t like free speech. I’m sure artistic license is good for a pass here, but Bill Maher is a real person so making up stuff about him for humor is cheeep and wrong.Don’t think so? draw yourself in his chair and high-five Milo.

That’s about right. Trump’s billionaire cabinet and he know how the average American lives. Now that is reversal of reality!

The crazy backwardness of a president that doesn’t believe in reality.

So it is an issue that Bill Maher lets people speak, even when you don´t like them? Or does the “cartoonist” think book burning is fine as well?

pollution is clean air. CEOs are blue collar. Welfare is for corporations. Companies are people. Trump is a great businessman.

Oh, so, Bill Maher is a rat bastard as Jen Sorensen repeats below.
