For anyone who doesn’t care to click Fuxsie’s link, he cited an article entitled: “Bill Maher: ‘I’m not an antivaxxer’, but…”
I guess in typical fuxsie style, he cherry picked the portion right up until the “but” part.
I did click out of curiosity, thinking “wow, for once could FX actually have stumbled upon a valid rebuttal?”
Won’t be making that mistake again.
Well, it appears that he and his family are moving to Qatar.
I said “on this topic”. I also acknowledged upthread that he went too far in sticking up for the authorities in this case. You seem to have misread my recent post that referenced Harris and Maher as saying “my views are perfectly congruent with theirs”, which is not at all what I said.
From the WaPo: “Once it was discovered that the ‘bomb’ was only a digital clock the young innovator built himself…”
Whatever you think of Ahmed, is this good journalism?
Interesting that the president did not give Ahmed a shoutout. Maybe because he met with a wanted war criminal?
Also interesting that he is apparently leaving the country so he won’t have to face the questions some of us have. Probably a smart move on the family’s part.
FWIW, I too try to distance myself from assholes.
Man, it sure is easy to twist every single new fact to a preconceived narrative as long as you twist hard enough.
Going to Qatar? Because he’s afraid of questions. Staying? Wants to cash in on his new fame.
Doesn’t matter what they actually do, there is always a way to interpret to go along with your narrative.
Looks to me like they stayed around long enough to cash in, and then are getting out of Dodge now that they finished their tour.
I love how SlackerInc suggests a) that Ahmed has been able to avoid the questions that racist assholes like him have lobbed, and b) that there might have been some way to brace Ahmed with these questions in some new fashion that would compel a response. What did this douchebag think, they were going to get Ahmed into court or something?
This douchebag thought that if he went to school in the US, his classmates might ask him about these things.
So his classmates would ask him the questions “some of us have”? Are you a classmate of his? Were you hoping to get a like-minded racist high schooler to hassle him for you, asshole?
Looks to me they’ve been driven out of Dodge by asshats like yourself.
Without looking it up, what time is it in Qatar right now?
No one’s commenting on the truthiness of that Washington Post story?
He saved that for a Presidential hug.
Why the coy act, you racist fucknut? If you have a point, spit it out.
Good riddance…
Hopefully after the Islamic Balloon Boy learns how to finish making his “clock” he’ll be greeted by a U.S. drone before he gets a chance to “show” it off 
“I hope a kid dies! WINKY FACE!!”
And not a word from a particular few racists/bigots/assorted other terms relating to being jackasses about why the kid and his family may desire to leave the country where the kid was illegally arrested based on his religion and his ethnicity.
