Just because I say I've laughed at Dennis Miller, that means I'm too dumb to understand what Sal says.
That's just an ad hominem, seaoat. And it's out of character for you.
Go back and read my first reply to Sal. I thought the Bill Maher routine was funny as it gets and said that.
The reason I didn't stop with that is because I kinda realized where Sal's head was at on it and responded. Later in the thread, Sal revealed it with this...
"All I care about is the fact that Maher dissected our country's moronic gun culture with hysterical expertise."
Here's the deal, seaoat. Sal and I have a definite disagreement about that.
Maher did a great job of giving some nutters attention. But when Maher tries to define everybody who does not support Maher's ideas about guns to be like those nutters, it's absurd and it's not valid. I know several people personally who Maher and Sal (and probably you) would label "gun nuts". Not one of them would walk into a fast food restaurant or any other public place for that matter with rifles slung over their shoulders behaving like retards.
What Maher did with that is almost exactly what Bill O'Reilly does. He shows clips of "lesbian gangs" and "gay pride parades" to convince his audience all homosexuals are like that.
The only difference is Maher does it with brilliant comedy and O'Reilly does it by ranting and throwing fits.
And Sal may want and expect everybody to agree with him but that's just not going to happen. And throwing insults at me doesn't change anything.
