Description: http://www.theLargestMinority.com Subscribe to my channel My love/hate relationship with Bill Maher fluctuates wildly from episode to episode. Though I love his politically incorrect sense of humor and the fact that he provides a forum for people with differing views to debate, I do hate his scapegoat arguments and constant contradictions. Still, last night's Real Time with Bill Maher was a classic episode, mostly due to the always charismatic Mos Def, whose off the cuff bluntness drew applause and laughter in juxtaposition to Maher's counterproductive defense of the establishment. While skeptical of the Bush administration, Maher's unwavering centrist beliefs often fall short of providing genuine insight. My beef is that he's simply not radical enough. For example, he dismisses even the possibility that our government had something to do with 9/11, he clings to the fallacy that religion is to blame for the instability in Iraq, and thinks that corporate candidates like the Clintons are good for America because of their extensive experience in screwing us over. Luckily, Cornel West was also present to elaborate upon Mos Def's arguments. Regardless of what religion any particular empire happens to subscribe to, Professor West correctly states that the problem is actually with the economic desire to create those empires. Throughout history, religion has actually had little to do with conquest, and is simply an easy scapegoat for capitalists who want to displace proper blame. Later on in the show, the greatest consumer advocate, Ralph Nader, was on to talk about the regulation of imported goods and plug his new book, "The Seventeen Traditions". Nader also spoke the truth about Hillary Clinton, the need for universal healthcare, and the need for an end to imperial wars. Maher did redeem himself though by highlighting the conventional wisdom of Americans who like what Nader has to say, yet hate the idea of voting him into office where he could actually make a difference. Dennis Kucinich faces the same hurdles during this election. I'm afraid of having my account deleted for posting the full episode, but Tullycast seems to have it all if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/user/tullycast

NaseerHammed ::: Favorites No what's slowing down the process in Iraq is the divisions that were put in place by British Colonialism/Empiralism during world war one/two then the newest group of invaders Americans. We should state tings as they actually are. Islam is used as the scape goat by the media. 07-09-18 06:48:23 __________________________________________________

samdahabib ::: Favorites No, religion is real. But that's saying you understand what the term "religion" actually means. Just as some people worship the sun and moon (wiccans) that's not to say the sun and moon and earth and shit doesn't exist. Religion is objective, it's real, whether you believe in the doctrines is up to you. But what thing we can't hide from is the FACT that the universe came into existance "some how", finding out how is a mission. 07-09-17 04:42:38 __________________________________________________
