In reply to the discussion: Has Bill Maher said anything about Colbert's cancellation? [View all]SocialDemocrat61
(5,441 posts)39. But why bother to make the statement that
Maher has been consistent in defending comedians.
if it wasnt to defend his silence about Colbert. Every other late night comedian has defended Colbert including Kimmel whos on vacation, but Maher has been silent. Yet you chose to jump in when you didnt have to.
I made a comment that he did.
But if you dont monitor him how can you use the word consistent. Or maybe you dont understand the meaning of the word consistent?
That's how forums work.
Forums work by people choosing to comment. You chose to make the statement
Maher has been consistent in defending comedians.
. Im trying to understand why someone would make such a statement if not to defend Maher for his silence.Edit history

There's always been something I found off-putting about Maher. There's a nasty man.

I just think it's his demeanor. I don't like it. And I think he's truly a sexist and a pretty awful one.

As much as I dispise Maher, I would be very surprised if he didn't defend Colbert, and call out CBS.
