conix -- not the first time Maher's said really stupid shit about liberals (as if we somehow overlook, let alone tolerate or condone, the bullshit of Islamic fundamentalism) -- and Hartmann, who has among other things been a regular on RT for a few pieces of silver, is "the number one liberal talker in the nation", says who (other than hacks like whoever wrote that piece but knew better than to put his/her name on it) (where Hartmann's observation that the problem is a "fundamentalist problem" was in fact correct)?

Well there was a little more to the story. It seems the French had scheduled a lunch but the Iranians said don't serve wine. So the French cancelled lunch.

Oh and it is fundamentalism that I have intolerance of and in your case willful ignorance.

Maher got that wrong, i reckon, as most all who see religion as somewhat irrational superstition would tend to see Muslims in the same light as Christians, anywhere
.. and as far as attitude toward extreme fundamentalism is concerned, well, there wouldn't be many liberal atheists who have any empathy at all with ISIS or Taliban-
types, including those right-wing religious people who murder abortionists and bomb abortion clinics .. or those as McVeigh who blow up government buildings ..

Of course the caveat that "(...Putnam and Campbell and Pew note: Black Protestants are an important exception. While highly devout, they are
also committed Democrats. This exception also illustrates that these findings are generalizations and not iron-clad rules for individuals.)"
.. that's from the one you replied to .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=120214745

they put is always an important one to keep in mind .. i.e. that in generalizations there are always exceptions in individuals.
