That's separate from his virulent racism and bigotry, which is also problematic, but that we don't need to beat that dead horse again.

Depends, again, on the issue. When Maher decries opponents of free speech as dangerous idiots, he’s unassailable. When he feels empowered to use a slur as a stunt, he’s a low rent provocateur. When he has a victim of genital mutilation on to expose a crime for which all perpetrators should suffer penectomy (but keep their testicles, so they may suffer all the appropriate pain), he offers a worthy criticism of religion generally. When he asserts only Islam’s lunatic fringe has engaged in vile practices of that nature, he lets the other religions off the hook too easily.
Any thinker must be assessed thought by thought. As “identities” or “personalities,” they’re all just flawed humans.
