1. Also, his "base" IS base.

They have always been and will always be aggressive bullies. They are innately mean spirited and enjoy being around fellow bullies. I imagine they are the ones who cut you off in front of a church or school then proceed to drive slowly while flipping YOU off. Then they go and kick a few puppies for fun.

2. He's right, I've said fear of change is one hallmark of conservatism

and it doesn't matter if that change was absolutely vital or if it benefits them disproportionately, the fear is of having to change their behavior or worse, their opinions, to accommodate it.

6. He Pretty Much Nailed It

They want their old world back when white people ruled and the "other" knew their place. Where gay people stayed closeted and certainly were not getting married.

Watching his whole show I noticed this.....once again the one conservative member of his panel just would not shut up, she spoke way, way more then Reiner and the other guy. Plus, black conservatives just are not thinking straight, they are so on the wrong team.

8. Democrats have to develop constituencies AROUND these people.

Yes, these kinds of people may be in the majority in certain areas, but there are also those voters who disagree with them. It's these voters that the Dems need to nurture over time.

9. Nice, they fixed the technical difficulties in post.

Someone is getting their ass fired for the colossal technical fuck-ups from last night.

Also, I find it super hilarious that when Maher was cycling through all the black people who changed their names so they wouldn't offend white people; his audience was like "Is this racist? Should I laugh? What's happening? Would laughing be politically correct? He's showing black people and they have odd names, offensive? I've never heard of them so is it racist or true?" It reminds me of the time where he was like "New Rule: Rain dances don't work" and there was kinda some murmurs among the audience and he goes "What? (Mockingly) 'Ohhh is Bill making fun of Indians?' RAIN DANCES DON'T FUCKING WORK"


And then the audience laughed when he was talking about Gabourey Sidibe and Caitlyn Jenner's picture showed up. Like that wasn't a joke and they didn't know what the fuck they were laughing at. Literally "Hahaha Gabourey Sidibe, Caitlyn Jenner; I get, it I get it! I'm smart so I get it!"

Comedians in LA must have it rough.
