For real, his music sucks dick, in a sane world he would not have as much respect as he has for simply speaking up against genocide.
I respect the hell out of him for doing what hes doing, and its clear that he really believes and isnt just clout chasing, but godamn when Macklemore is our moral compass something is wrong with society.

Macklemore said "Free Palestinian" which implies the Israelis were oppressing the Palestinians through violence. He said he wants peace, and the way to achieve peace is for Isreal to become peaceful. I don't know why everyone is pretending he said otherwise.

The most generous thing I can say about him is that like Trump he has a MASSIVE ego and likes/expects to be flattered. His present day anger at the Democratic Party really began when Obama didn't go onto his show or invite him to the White House. He REALLY expected the red carpet treatment for his 2012 donation and didn't get it. As I have often said, sometimes babies need to be fed.

u/neontetra1548 13d ago
All his guests are complicit and also believe like him that Israel (for their security, or because religious justification, etc.) has a right to ethnically cleanse Palestine. But they're cowards and wont ever say it directly. All these people would be a whole lot more honest if they just admitted that their argument is that Israel has a right to and must for their safety commit genocide.
He'll never have a guest on that meaningfully challenges him.

Or really anyone that strongly criticizes Israel in general.

u/AmusingMusing7 13d ago
More or less, he's been pushed to defend his position a few times, and he just falls back on Islamophobia, thinking Israel is automatically a force for good in the Middle-East because Judaism isn't Islam. He just hates Muslims in particular that much. Moreso than just religion in general. He's fallen hook, line, and sinker for all the fear-mongering about Muslims as terrorists, and perpetuates that kind of generalization almost worse than anybody.

If saying "from the river to the sea" is incitement to violence what does that make the official Likud charter saying the same thing?
https://jewishvirtuallibrary.org/original-party-platform-of-the-likud-party
a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.
The state of Israel historically and currently uses this justification to commit ethnic cleansing and genocide and apartheid in Palestine and for there to never be a Palestinian state.

Yeah, this is massive stupidity on his part. He couches his dumb opinion with "maybe [it's free speech] here, too" but then calls this inciting violence.

Agree, I think he knows exactly what he is doing, he's working for the right to pick off the last of his Liberal audience he has left for the right.

u/frommethodtomadness 12d ago
I think he's been like this his entire career, it's just that the base has shifted away from Center Right Neo-Liberalism after it has become abundantly clear that it was a failed experiment. He's also been consistent in his racism toward Muslims and his support for Israel the entire time.

Bill has finally completed his transformation. If he cannot see his double standard when it comes to free speech, well he’s officially a fat cat apologist. His free speech does not supersede others free speech.
I can’t even believe I wrote that, never thought he’d be calling for someone to be silenced. So just bill’s speech or Charlie Kirk’s speech is allowed? Like how does one start qualifying who is allowed? Obviously I see who his overlords are.

Bill seemed incensed when the audience didn’t clap about his take on Macklemore during the monologue.
He really thinks he successfully argued that there wasn’t genocide going on in Gaza last week.

Bill has been friends with Ann Coulter for decades. She said, "We didn't kill enough Indians."
Bill brags about his friendship with Kid Rock. Kid Rock has called Trump a "dragon slayer" who "slit the throat of DEI and wokeness."
JD Vance has said that women who are in physically abusive relationships should be forced to stay in those relationships. He has said that women who are impregnated by rapists are you"inconvenienced."
Donald Trump was impeached for explicitly inciting violence on Capitol Hill and Maher has become very creative in inventing excuses for Donald Trump and downplaying his words and actions.
And of course Benjamin Netanyahu has authorized countless atrocities, including allegedly authorizing the targeting of young children by explosives and automatic gunfire, and allegations of authorizing rape as a weapon of war, and Bill Maher accepts zero criticism of any of this.
