The Hollow Courage of Bill Maher

[Hortensis]

15. What is this anti-Democratic slander doing on DU? Maher is NOT a liberal,

and he says so himself, proudly. What he is an illustration of how similar the far left and far right can be, at times almost indistinguishable.

There are huge differences between radical/extremist left personalities and liberal personality. Much of the antagonism constantly expressed here against liberals and the Democratic Party has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders. It's far more basic and arises from a need to defeat what they cannot understand or respect.

Democracy is based on liberal principles, and our democratic republic can only work if governance reflects agreements between Americans of different ideologies and needs. Those farther left believe that's proof of liberal corruption.
