The Marlow & Maher Civility Hour
By 
Bill Maher and Breitbart’s Alex Marlow had a chummy chinwag about free speech and where it should “pause”.
“If Obama was Julius Caesar and he got stabbed, I think liberals would be angry about that,” Maher remarked.
Had Maher asked an assistant to do a little research on this topic he would have known: He was and they didn’t.
“I don’t think they should have Trump playing Julius Caesar and getting stabbed, and I hate Trump. So we’re agreeing that there are some places where free speech does pause.”
I think sycophant to white supremacists suits Maher. It’s very him.
“It’s bad strategy certainly to put that out there because they all look like hysterical lunatics,” Marlow added.
Ah good, I was wondering when he was going to get to the projection. Dare I hope for some whining about frozen peaches?
Maher and Marlow also agreed that corporations under threat of organized boycotts should not have so much influence on free speech. Marlow pointed to his own publication in Breitbart and various anonymous campaigns of “misinformation” against the conservative publication that has led to many companies pulling ads from the site.
“What’s happened is that corporations are now deciding what’s free and fair speech, who can make a living, what opinions can make a living saying,” Marlow, 31, said. “Now you’re seeing the right fight fire with fire and want boycotts of when the left takes it too far in their Trump hatred.”
This is dumber than If you don’t speak at my kekifascist speech festival, you don’t support free speech.
“It’s a very dangerous path we’re on,” he added. “People on the left and the right who are free speech advocates need to come together and say that corporations are not going to define the First Amendment and free speech in this country.”
It would have been interesting if an intelligent person with a nose for bullshit and a backbone made of something stiffer than marshmallows had been present. That person might have asked something like Are you saying both sides should agree not to hold boycotts?
Unfortunately, there was only a smirking rubber hose that was afraid to disturb his guest with difficult questions.
“Do you think Breitbart with the politicization it is involved in, has any responsibility for the kind of violence that we see in our society, including what happened this week?” Maher asked.
“Absolutely not. As you know, the guy was a big Sanders supporter. I actually happen not to blame Bernie Sanders for it,” Marlow replied.
It would have been interesting if a non-comatose person who had done the teeniest bit of research on Breitbart had laughed in Marlow’s face. Or mentioned something like Pizzagate. But such a person would not have referred to what Blightshart gets up to as politicization.
