Just watched last night's Real Time with Bill Maher ...

WOW, Dennis Prager is truely a conservative a$$.

If I were Bill Maher, I would have kicked him off the panel
and told him to go peddle his bull $h1t right wing talking
points on some other show.

I know Bill is not like that, and believes that everyone has
a right to say what they want, but this guy was a complete
gas bag or maybe a$$ bag is a better choice of words.

Based on their loud and authoritarian voices (perfect for radio), Prager takes over a conversation and makes himself sound more important than the others on a panel. I don’t think Bill should have spent as much time discussing what he said, he should have dismissed his words and moved on to the other guests. The other guests were shortchanged when you have someone like Prager on, can’t really have a normal discussion.

They take up too much time with their idiotic bullshit and the other guests are eclipsed by having to refute the idiotic RW talking points instead of putting forth their own points of view and making it a truly interesting show.

I do not find this "fighting" interesting. I would much rather hear what the other guests have to say about what is going on currently and listening to their particular expertise on certain matters than to have them waste their time shouting down idiots like Prager and others.

Bill really needs to rework his format. He needs to stop giving right-wingers an audience. We don't want to hear them and they are more annoying and distracting than thought provoking.

Trump was about stealing your money, Prager is after your mind with lies, dis/mis-information and propaganda.

but if his model is this "shock jock talk radio" then most of his audience moves on. There is a very small percentage that find this kind of guest entertaining or informative. But the emphasis is on very small.
