Bill Maher talks with Richard Dawkins about his book 'The Greatest Show on Earth', religion, and politics.

Is it just me, or is Bill getting slightly.... off ... lately? First his bizarre rant extolling the virtues of alternative medicine like herbs and ... freaking accupuncture or something as ACTUAL cures to ailments... and now with this bizarre America-centric notion that we are the only targets of terror in the world.. and not just that, but the reason we are targeted is because they LIKE US TOO MUCH?

Bill, you need to get more sleep or something, no one on your panel of highly informed individuals took your argument seriously, and people feel like they have to nod politely at Bill Maher of all people, before ignoring his argument and discussion more serious ideas, he needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and decide if he still likes what he's doing.

I say this out of love of course, Bill was often a source of truth in the past decade that was in very short supply anywhere else. But he's starting to lose his edge.

agreed
bill has been off his game lately
he's too angry and forceful to check himself
he's still on point most of the time, but i would tap him on the shoulder and suggest rewatching a show of his every once in a while

love dawkins' crocoduck tie

I really like Bill Maher, but I also was surprised at his stupid rant on alternative medicines. Sometimes he is really irrational, which doesn't suit an educated skeptic.

I dunno, mine doesn't. Then again I have an active ad blocker running in the background so that might be it. My bad if it does, I just did a quick google to find it.

True but I thought the discussion on terrorism was far more interesting than the reiteration of the same comedy material against religion.
If you want the next part to this go to:

and skip to 44:40.

That site asks me to install some kind of advertising spam toolbar and if I cancel it, it directs me away.
