Bill Maher managed to shock quite a few conservatives last month when he not only dared criticize Islam but defended liberal Western culture as objectively better: “vast numbers of Muslims across the world believe … that humans deserve to die for merely holding a different idea or drawing a cartoon or writing a book or eloping with the wrong person,” said Maher.
Some regular viewers feared that speech was Step 1 in Maher’s transformation into a neocon, but Maher contended this Saturday night that Michael Brown “…wasn’t a gentle giant. He was committing a robbery and he pushed that guy. He was acting like a thug, not like a gentle giant.” Maher added that Brown certainly didn’t deserve to be shot for it, but his questioning of Brown’s sainthood riled liberals.

Wait—so Bill Maher's still spewing some lie about Mike Brown that's been debunked like a million times over?

Yup. Bigot Bill Maher just called Mike Brown (RIP) a thug, right after Cornel West called him out on his anti-Arab racism.

I’d already given up on Maher years before I ever heard the name Mike Brown, but it’s still nice knowing I made the right choice.

No need, it’s already been done.
