Problem with Maher is the same thing with every leftist that says these things. They will still vote for the same politicians that have screwed everything up.

Most protest movements will have slogans that are performative, narcissistic and deplorable. Should we judge the entire cause by those? Should the cause be tarnished by these excesses?
I offer the following chants from Vietnam era protests:
“One side’s right, one side’s wrong, We’re on the side of the Viet Cong!”
“Save Hanoi, Lose Saigon, Victory to the Viet Cong!”
This at a time when young Americans (not young Palestinians) were dying and being maimed in large numbers. In some cases being tortured as POWs.
Certainly offensive. Offensive enough to obscure the larger meaning of the protests? With the perspective of time history has rendered its verdict. I suspect with perspective there will be a similar accounting of the current protests over the harm being inflicted on Palestinian civilians.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Otoh there are also causes that feature high-flown rhetoric about the nobility of the cause. We shouldn't allow that to obscure the deplorable nature of those causes.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

Did I say that.
I think such cheering is narcissitic, performative and counterproductive to the cause. Whatever the cause.
My point is that it is a copout to base our assessment of the protests based upon the most deplorable and stupid thangs that the protestors say. It is the easy way out.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
eh
i think i hit a nerve
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
some of these kids are alright
Sadly there are those (some here in these very boards) who have no interest in hearing sincere voices (many Jewish) but just want to tar the entire protest movement as pro-Hamas and pro-terror and anti-semitic.

An American kid who puts an anti human rights nation's flag in their bio, ain't alright
But at least he didn't commit the grave sin oglf smiling where wearing a red hat
This thread took quite a turn. BL couldn’t defend Mahers rant about Dems grooming kids, but wanted to take on the second video only.

I'm a groomer myself. Every semester I get over 100 highly impressionable first year students. I pour the Kool Aid into their brains. Et voila, they turn into entitled little pricks demanding their student loan debt be cancelled.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I didn’t think you could defend it.
