Really, what choice does he have? If he doesn’t show up to defend the indefensible, people will think he’s a coward or a flip-flopper or unpatriotic or a traitor or that he hates America. And yet there’s that indefensible part. Drive-bys are all he has. ---

[QUOTE=wring] speak for yourself. We at the “liberal but not a fucking lunatic society” have an extensive and accurate member list. [/QUOTE] I know that was an answer made in jest, but very recently one can make a very accurate list of who is “liberal but not a fucking lunatic”. Just check who still believes in the 9/11 “the buildings were destroyed in a controlled demolition!” conspiracy and one can identify who are the lunatic leftists. (One has to notice that that list do include some lunatic rightists) As many have noticed elsewhere in the SDMB, recently the loony conspiracies of 9/11 suddenly are coming back in force. > **[Breaking News: Rosie is an idiot](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=414541)** > > The proof. Next up: water is wet. IMHO if there is any conspiracy, it is the one were I think there is a strong effort to catapult these “theories” with the intension to drown the very good questions of 9/11 and deceitfully make the very though questions regarding the incompetency of the administration on preventing that attack, to be seen as equal to questions raised by the loony conspiracy theorists. ---

Can’t agree with the OP. Regardless of how one feels about **The 'hump** , I see nothing wrong with the posts cited. Since when is being succinct, a problem, and verbosity a virtue? The topic was Bill Maher. **Clothahump** posted his opinion regarding Maher. End of post. End of story. He was on topic. Let it go.
