‘The Liberals’ Version of Book Burning’: Maher Goes Off on Berkeley Over Coulter Backlash – Mediaite

Category: Liberals

During tonights broadcast of HBOs Real Time, host Bill Maher weighed in on the recent flap surrounding Berkeleys decision to cancel conservative author Ann Coulters scheduled April 27th speech.

Berkeley used to be the cradle of free speech, he stated. And now its just the cradle for f*cking babies!

The comedian lit into not just Berkeley, but other colleges across the nation, for shutting down speakers who dont say exactly what liberals want to hear.

Maher added, I feel like this is the liberals version of book burning, and its got to stop.

The Real Time host also took issue with Democrats like Howard Dean claiming that hate speech isnt protected by the First Amendment. Yes it is, Maher exclaimed.

S.E. Cupp agreed with Maher, saying that college students need to realize that in the real world there are no safe spaces.
