You're technically right, but it's far more widely known as HUAC so either or is accurate.

I only know Sullivan through his birtherism. How did he get in this position in the first place? Has he ever added anything to public discourse? Serious question.

I think they lost us a long time ago. Threatening to not watch twice as much will not likely have an effect.

That assessment of Qatar sounds a bit like Marx's assessment of the middle class. Marx hated the middle class because they were useless to the revolution. He knew they had too much to lose to ever "rise up".

Wait a minute, I am a HUGE contributor to Facebook. I want my cut of or I am going to make Zuckenberg's life miserable!

Well done, John. I don't know how you do it sometimes. I get so angry and tense just reading about this stuff let alone how I would feel if I lived with it day in and day out. I have to mentally check out sometimes just for my own emotional health and I wonder whether that sort of thing is part of the strategy. Just make it too painful to deal with and rely on people shutting down and not fighting anymore.

Maher has given the left what they want for years so he's allowed to say this without the vicious withering counter-attack that he's crazy. If he's "crazy" then is he crazy about all the stuff he agrees with them on? Of course not. They'll probably just do their best to ignore this little indiscretion.

I miss the old libertarian Mahrer when he was on Comedy Central before he wanted to be liked by Hollywood so bad that the title of his old show "Politically Incorrect" became ironic.

I'm glad he is saying it and I'm pleased to see his anti-religion fixation is at least consistent. I mean, seriously, if you're suspicious of religion how could you not be horrified to your very core over the state of Islam? I'll take consistency over partisanship any day. It's one of the reasons I am a fan of Christopher Hitchens though I disagree with him strongly in so many areas.

I still don't think the man is quality human being but when he is right, he is right.

Also, Maher was right about Petraeus too. I felt very uncomfortable with an American General (no matter how well intended) condemning a private American citizen exercising (no matter how stupidly) his free speech.
