Along with Howard, Chris Rock, Seinfeld, Silverman, and few others who believe in true free speech including the right to offend if they feel like it in the name of humor, Maher is one of the last few sane men standing.
Rushdie, Hitchens (past, sadly), and countless politicians and even conservatives who know he’ll abuse them haven’t done his show for no good reason. They know he gets an audience who laughs at the objections you have to him.
You can assert Maher is a boring Carson clone (his delivery is stolen from Johnny), but you can’t say he offends you without also saying this: You’re oversensitive and need to grow a thicker skin.
