      I got a special hatred for the "I use to be left leaning, but now they've gone too far!" type liberals

          He got some street cred for getting banned for basically doing Hasan's "America deserved 9/11" bit but like, RIGHT AFTER 9/11 and getting the show he had cancelled I think.

          That said he was like, agreeing with Dinesh D'Souza at the time apparently? Lmao didint even know that guy existed back then.

            Using words for their impact and not their meaning was as popular back then as it is now and if I recall correctly he got fired because he did a monologue about how the terrorists weren't cowards, which was one of the things in the bullhorn at the time. He might have also talked about blowback but the thing everybody cared about was the coward thing.

              Yeah in the statement he said "We're cowards for throwing missles" which was spot on but I dont think thats the part that upset people.

      He speaks to the heart of affluent liberal suburbanites.

      watch the new Tim Heidecker office hours with Ted Armisen. He does a parody character of Bill Maher for the whole duration and nails it.
