Bill Maher on his show “Real Time” basically expressed disappointment that the assassination attempt on Vice President Dick Cheney failed. This is a disgusting comment in it of itself. In addition, he complained that statements like his are often censored. Wrong. If someone on a message board wants to say that, the owner of the site can remove the comments. That is their right. Just like I hope HBO exercises their right to fire him.
That being said, I find his argument incredibly confusing. Maybe someone can explain it to me? Maher believes that the attackers on 9/11 were “brave warriors” but America was cowardly. As disgusting as that sounds, I can wrap my mind around it. These terrorists give little thought of their own life when they commit acts of terror. The Clinton and previous administrations responded by “cowardly” lobbing missiles from safe distances. However, then Maher continues to say that many more lives would be saved if Dick Cheney were killed. Dick Cheney is a member of an administration that responded to these Al Qaeda monsters and their support networks with real force. Whatever your politics, most should be able to see that Afghanistan and Iraq were not “cowardly.” What does he want: a zero response from Clinton or a powerful response from Bush and Cheney?
