Boston Globe Online / Editorials | Opinions / Terrorists can't be charities
As the recent, long-awaited report on 9/11 made clear - especially if you can read through a black Sharpie - claiming you're a ''charitable organization'' is second only to saying ''religion'' when you want to make people lie down and let you get away with something criminal. People like the Saudis can get away with giving money to people like Hamas by saying, ''Hey, they're a charity, too.''
Yeah, Habitat for Inhumanity...
Maher is often annoying, but he's on target here (he even uses the expression "Euroweenie"), and I believe the Administration at least is now taking the steps he advocates. Did it ever occur to any of those Euro...buddies...that if it weren't for groups like Hamas and Hizballah, there wouldn't be any need for extra-legal, extra-governmental groups like them to provide basic services?
I saw the show with Baldwin, Hitchens and a black lady conservative, who was horrible. They set her up with the Gay Marriage issue.
Maher is a little prick, excuse my French, but he's legit at least. I think he tries to be snide with Jews sometimes overboard to show he can be PC regarding them. I recently found out why, I think his mom is Jewish though he was raised Catholic.
All his pals seem to be Jewish including Robert Klein who isn't very funny in my opinion.
By the way if you notice whenever Bush was panned during the show or other jokes were made people laughed however, there was a silent barely audible laugh at his jokes about Hamas wanting to run the Jews into the Mediterranean.
