I see no evidence he is broad brushing everyone who disagrees with the Bush administration as “liberal”.

Where are you reading this? He was talking about Maher and those like Maher. How do you leap to the conclusion that he includes the rest. It appears that you may be the one guilty of sweeping statements.

You may not think he’s a proper Libertarian but that’s a different issue. To claim he’s a liberal demonstrates a childish simplification of terminology that categorizes everyone who disagrees with the Bush administration as “liberal”. It’s the political philosophy of Animal Farm. Maher is a self proclaimed Libertarian who endorsed Bob Dole in 96. You may not think he’s a proper Libertarian but that’s a different issue.

Libertarianism is, by definition, a right wing philosophy. In fact, it's farther right than "normal" conservativism. “Huh, last I heard Maher was a Libertarian”

Maher has said he is a “left-wing libertarian”, when there is no such thing. Libertarianism is, by definition, a right wing philosophy. In fact, it’s farther right than “normal” conservativism.

Why should there be a reaction specifically from the left? What happened to the logic of Ann Coulter is a “controversy slut” who’s provocations should be ignored:

Why in God’s name the left falls for it and why the right then feels the need to respond is absolutely nuts!

Why should “the left” have to respond to Maher who’s on the right side of the political spectrum (Libertarian) and makes a living saying “politically incorrect” things, not to mention the fact that he has no role whatsoever in left leaning politics?
