“Bill Maher accused of Islamophobia”

“Bill Maher accused of Islamophobia”

 

The loathsome Bill Maher
Smugness personified
And not, in my judgment, much of an asset to American intellectual and cultural life

 

I have to admit that it doesn’t bother me overly much to see the execrable Mr. Maher catching such flak as this:

His sin in this case isn’t, maybe, the worst possible.  But it’s a pretty obvious case of ethnic stereotyping.

 

Can you imagine the indignation that would erupt — and that would inflame all of the elite media for days and perhaps even weeks — if a conservative Republican had done something like this?
