That maybe the first thing you've ever posted that I agree with....

Completely shocked you'd think that....
The only difference between the far right and the far left for me is that the far right is more dangerous.

Had the same thought, that's not even his quote.
Oh, and he showed his hand when he said Maher is "basically right about everything". Critical thinkers never agree with everything a public figure says, at that point you are just a fan boy. Thinking of the people I agree most with in public life, I would never say I agree with them on everything. That's virtually impossible if you're an honest thinker.
Intelligent people just don't speak in absolutes like that.

no there isnt. He isnt right about everything that is why I said pretty much.Rodney Ruxin said:
Yes, there is
This is known with him.Rodney Ruxin said:
That's a distinction without a difference. Anyone who reads person x is "pretty much right about everything they say" is going to interpret that (correctly) as you basically having no disagreement with that person. You're just playing semantics now.
You should never agree with "pretty much everything" someone says. That's a pretty big clue you aren't thinking through things for yourself.
No, you are. If i thought he was right about everything he said I would have said that.Rodney Ruxin said:

You should never agree with "pretty much everything" someone says. That's a pretty big clue you aren't thinking through things for yourself. But to be fair, that's pretty common with Maher's audience.
I am very aware of what it means. You are deliberately misconstruing what you know I meant. You are doing what you are accusing me of doing. It is called gaslighting.Rodney Ruxin said:
I don't think you know what "semantics" means if you think I'm the one utilizing it.
Back to the operative point, the fact that you think someone else is right about "pretty much everything they say" goes to a lack of critical thought on your part. You're just on "team" Bill Maher.
Maybe you should read your own signature a few times?
