Glenn Greenwald DESTROYS Bill Maher On His Own Show

Jan. 14, 2024

U.S. IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY

The Jimmy Dore Show

Bill Maher had Glenn Greenwald on his show. Maher, a self-professed atheist who thinks religion is poison but thinks Israel is wonderful got a big surprise.

Much has been written about Maher and his special loathing of Islam. But this segment is especially telling. The whole piece is worth watching but things really got rolling.

Greenwald thoroughly takes Maher to task for his blatant disregard of history and his "my side is better therefore we can do what we want to whomever we want" attitude.

The video speaks for itself, except that Greenwald's deconstruction of Maher proves that the essence of Maher's thinking is as irrational as the religions he so often disparages.

Glenn Greenwald: We were supporting and propping up Mubarak for thirty years even as we were cheering for the Tahrir Square demonstrators as if we were on their side. It was our government that kept Mubarak in power; just like we have done across the entire Muslim world. It’s amazing for you to say that look at all these Muslims, the minute you give them a little bit of freedom they go wild and start being all violent. How can you be a citizen of the United States, the country that has generated more violence and militarism in the world over the last five or six decades and say look at those people over there, they are incredibly violent. We play a significant role in what has been happening in the Middle East because we have been interfering and dominating that region in order to have access to their oil.

Bill Maher: I wasn’t talking about violence. I was taking about theocracy.

Glenn Greenwald: OK that doesn’t happen here but at the same time Iran isn’t invading lots of other countries and occupying them for a decade.

Bill Maher: That religion goes back a thousand years before our revolution so I don’t think we can take all the blame.

Glenn Greenwald: I don’t think we should. I think we should take a lot of it. And there are lots of bodies and corpses that have been piled up in the name of Christianity and Judaism as well.

Bill Maher: Not recently.

Glenn Greenwald: Have you heard about the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza for the last fifty years motivated by extremist views of Judaism? Or the wars in Europe? Or the fact that there were generals in the United States saying we have to invade and destroy Iraq, a country of twenty six million people because our god is bigger? Lots of religions, not just Islam produce violence.

Bill Maher: Silly Liberal view that all religions are alike because it makes you feel good.

Glenn Greenwald: You get to ignore the responsibility that your own government has for the violence and instability in the world by saying look it’s that primitive religion over there that is to blame.
