Liberal comic Bill Maher told journalist Glenn Greenwald he is with him on his reporting of the National Security Agency, but argued that former NSA contractor Edward Snowden “says something totally bats—-” whenever he speaks.

“He reminds me a lot of [former Rep.] Ron Paul. I agree with what he says, I nod along and then he says something totally bats—-,” Maher said Friday on his HBO program, “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

In a satellite interview with Greenwald, Maher pressed him on Snowden’s ability to articulate his intentions for releasing classified documents on the the NSA surveillance program.

“I also respect Edward Snowden, obviously this debate wouldn’t be happening without Edward Snowden, but I was wondering if you agree with me that every time he opens his mouth, he also says something completely nuts,” Maher said.

Maher cited a couple of quotes from Snowden including that the surveillance programs were “never about terrorism,” but rather “social control and diplomatic manipulation.”

“Well that’s crazy,” Maher said. “They were about stopping terrorism, they may have gone too far, but everybody in the government isn’t out to get you.”

Maher hasn't grasped the idea that what he considers terrorism, and what the NSA considers terrorism, are two very different things.

That tiresome asshole hasn't grasped anything but his own tool.

I don't think Bill's stupid. IMHO, he just needs to learn more.

Maher knows exactly what he's doing.

Maher says what he feels is advantageous to him. He has no principles. Quite often on his show he'll kiss someone's ass then a few weeks later he'll totally contradict it.

The best part was when Greenwald basically said um no, it's crazy to think those statements are crazy.

“Well that’s crazy,” Maher said. “They were about stopping terrorism, they may have gone too far, but everybody in the government isn’t out to get you.”

Since most of the people in government are just order-following lackeys, "everybody in the government" doesn't have to be "out to get you" in order for you to be gotten ...

kind of wish Greenwald would have gone after that asshole like he has Toobin.

that Bill Maher wants to defend the spy-in-chief shows how his glasses are shaded brown and he views the world through shit-goggles.

Maher showed how small his mind is on this one.

Ive had similar conversations a hundred times... "Snowdens crazy/ Snowden's a traitor/ Snowden went to our enemies/ Snowden said XY and Z" is the standard reply.

Ive just started countering by saying "Its not about Snowden."

I pointed this out last summer, Snowden us a good man but he is used as a distraction, they attack him personally to distract from the government spying on people and we fall for it every time. Dont defend Snowden personally, defend the stand he took.


“Well that’s crazy,” Maher said. “They were about stopping terrorism, they may have gone too far, but everybody in the government isn’t out to get you.”

Another fallacious argument, Im sure most government NSA employees are more interested in grabbing a cup of coffee and looking at porn at their desk and have no interest whatsoever in what Im doing, but some are not, some have other intentions and that's the entire reason why these programs exist.

No surprise there. Bill Maher is a notorious Israel firster. You won't find a single Israeli firster who will oppose police state spying in the US under Obama as Obama sends Americans data to Israel too ( Source: James Woods on Obama: He’s the ‘gift from hell’ (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?428515-James-Woods-on-Obama-He%E2%80%99s-the-%E2%80%98gift-from-hell%E2%80%99&))
