I don't get it either. Both sides called Mahr an arrogant smug jerk, but he keeps getting TV shows. Same with O'Reilly. I am starting to think they are the same guy with multiple personalities.
Though I don't swim in the deep end of my life in the political spectrum. I do have more than a few liberal leaning (some are just flat laying down in it. LOL!) friends who do. There was a time they meme'morized everything Maher said on their FB pages. It seems over the last few years he has fell out of favor with them. I'm not sure if he's changed his views on some stuff he used to support, or what. I'm not sure. But I have definitely witnessed a huge shift in support for him from people who used to hang on every word he used to say against religion (specifically Christianity), conservatives, republicans etc.
I’ve tried to watch some of his stuff, and came out thinking that he must know someone very well at HBO. As a political analyst he is just slightly better than Bill Oreilly, and as a comedian he is slightly funnier than Larry the Cable guy. John Oliver maybe 100% wrong on a given subject but at least he is funny as hell while ranting on it.
