69. Saying Maher is a waste of time

for anybody with a "hint of decency and intelligence" is a repulsive swipe at many DU members, who as far as I know vote blue, canvass, donate, show up to vote, and engage others on this site in discussing politics and other topics.

And what I find to be the most disgusting is that you are flat-out saying a long-time member of DU, who has close to 250,000 posts, has served many times on MIRT, and devotes countless hours posting articles for discussion, lacks decency and intelligence. Are you proud of that?

Plenty of us can find Maher irritating at times and still value certain guests, panels, policy discussions, or viewpoints we don’t always get elsewhere.

Hopefully there are others on this site who agree with me.

Maher is a waste of time for anybody with a hint of decency and intelligence.
