Did Bill Maher just take a position that just might get his ticket punched by the new Progressive Jihadists?
Remember when we were told that there are millions and millions of "good Muslims" and they can't all be judged by a "relatively" smaller number of fanatics that have hijacked the Muslim religion? That is what I believe and have said so from the beginning. As much as I spoke against Muslim fanatics and I did, I was careful not to suggest that all Muslims are fanatics.
So why are 74 million Trump voters being lumped in with a couple thousand fanatics that attacked the capital? Turn of Fox News and every single voice you hear including Carlson, Hannity and Limbaugh, the three voices the fanatics on the left want silenced more than anybody, to a person, condemns what happened in the capital that day and call for the punishment of those that took part in the insurrection and yes, that it what it was. When you go to a protest with zip ties which are for one reason and one reason only, prisoners, you have to call it what it is.
Apparently Bill Maher who I have very big problems with, at least on this matter, shows strength of character that just might cause him very big trouble from those on the left who are calling for anybody that voted for Trump, to be put in education camps or "de-programmed" if you will. And some over at PBS and MSNBC, are saying that might not be enough because what if they have "infected" their children? Perhaps we better "de-program" the little ones just to be safe.
If Joe Biden doesn't move fast to shut down this kind of talk, far from unity, there will be more talk about "fighting for one's right to speech and thought".

Bill Maher defends Trump supporters: Let's not confuse '5,000' Capitol rioters with '74 million' voters
"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by defending the millions of Trump voters who were NOT involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"As bad as last week was ... let's not confuse 5,000 people with 74 million," Maher began his monologue. "Yes, even supporting the insurrection in spirit is, well, deplorable. But there's a difference between holding illiberal beliefs and acting violently on them. At least that's what they always told me about Islamic terrorism."
While Don Lemon double downs on what he said.

Maher told his viewers he always "wrestles" the hard question on his show of how all Americans "learn to share a country with a------s you can't stand."
"I've preached, and still do, that you can hate Trump, but not all the people who like him," Maher said. "And as counterintuitive as it may seem, you can like something run by a------s without being one yourself."
The HBO star mocked the "liberal happy talk" assumptions that the events of recent weeks will mark the "end" of the GOP, warning his audience that 2024 will probably be yet another tight presidential election.
"Seventy-four million people are not self-deporting and neither are we," Maher told his audience.
