Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show on Friday night by teaching liberals the "lesson of Afghanistan" amid the ongoing turmoil in the Asian nation.

"Blind hatred of America is just as blinkered as blind love. And we Americans should really get some perspective about where we live," Maher began his monologue. "Watching this s--- go down in Afghanistan,
I was reminded lately of every conversation I've ever had with an immigrant, almost all of which if we got to really talking, included the notion, ‘Oh, you people have no idea. All you do is b---- about and badmouth your own country, but if you knew about the country I came from, you'd stop s----ing on your own.’"

Maher poked fun at Republicans for being "overly sentimental" when it comes to patriotism and "over-romanticizing" America, but blasted liberals for "under-romanticizing" America and accused them of "having no perspective."

"Last week, the Taliban murdered a comedian," Maher said, referring to Afghan comedian Nazar Mohammad, who was tortured and executed. "A comedian, a thing like that really hits close to home for me. I've had two presidents up my a--. … Neither experience was pleasant, but I never had to worry about being dragged 'til I'm dead behind a Toyota Tacoma. Have a little perspective about the stuff we howl about here."

"I'm sorry your professor said something you didn't like. That won't be a problem with the Taliban because you're not allowed to go to school.
In Saudi Arabia, grown women can be jailed for doing the kind of things we think of as routine without the permission of a male guardian.
China rounds you up if you're the wrong religion and puts you in camps," Maher said before listing several other injustices around the world.

Maher told his viewers,
"If you think America is irredeemable, turn on the news or get a passport and a ticket on one of those sketchy airlines that puts its web address on the plane. There's a reason Afghan mothers are handing their babies to us.

We're not the bad guys. Oppression is what we were trying to stop in Afghanistan. We failed, but any immigrant will tell you we've largely succeeded here. And yet, the overriding thrust of current ‘woke’ ideology is America is rotten to the core, irredeemably racist from the moment it was founded and so oppressive, sexist and homophobic we can't find a host for the Oscars or 'Jeopardy!'" Maher exclaimed.

"And this is where your new [Afghan] roommates that you took in will prove so valuable because they'll turn to you and say
‘Have you people lost your f---ing minds?!?… Have you ever heard of honor killings, public beheadings, throwing gay men off of roofs, arranged marriages to minors, state-sanctioned wife-beating, female genital mutilation, marriage by capture? Because we have.'"

What's the lesson of Afghanistan. Maybe it's that everyone from the giant dorm room b---- session that is the internet should take a good look at what real oppression looks like," Maher continued. "Ask your maid, ask your Uber driver, ask the Asian woman giving you a massage. … America may not be the country of your faculty lounge and Twitter dreams, but no one here tries to escape by hanging on to an airplane.

Very true, the Regressive Left is beyond parody.
 
all i ever hear is this LW yammering about us oppressing our own.
RW is basically trying to save our institutions from our politicians ( but that's another topic)

Like Maher said "You Americans need to gain some perspective" -
Afghanistan now is examples every other bad thing of a real oppression
 
Unfortunately, both Red Team and Blue Team have signed on to the Trump 'We Surrender Plan'. So, let's NOT try to make this PARTISAN.
Can we agree most Americans think the World is made of Pixie Dust, Unicorns are Real, and that there really is a Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow.

You start out with a partisan attack on the Bad Orange Man as you call for bipartisanship lol.

They won’t, but the progressives would do well to listen to Maher. Conservatives don’t look at this country through rose colored glasses. We know slavery sucked and there’s still [and always will be] a remnant of racism in this country. But that’s true everywhere. But we also recognize that the white man *paid with their blood* to end slavery in this country.

For all its faults, this is still a great country that celebrates individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Many foreigners recognize that much better than many progressives do. That IS why they come here.

Kudos to Maher for playing captain obvious. Maybe the left will listen to him, or not.

Darth: "You start out with a partisan attack on the Bad Orange Man as you call for bipartisanship lol."
Jack: Anatta is quoting a progressive left-leaning Comedian. Then goes on to the usual Red Team/Blue Team rhetoric here.

--->"all i ever hear is this LW yammering about us oppressing our own.
RW is basically trying to save our institutions from our politicians"<---

So, I point out the decision to leave Afghanistan is Red Team. Blue Team is carrying out the SAME decision that Red Team has made ... leave Afghanistan.
It seems a bit PARTISAN to start finger-pointing when both have come up with the SAME DECISION.

The Argument here SHOULD BE 'Who wants to stay' vs. 'Who wants to leave'. NOT the usual, typical, standard, partisan 'Red Team/Blue Team' that is constant here.

Can someone step and say it’s not the withdrawal but the execution of the withdrawal?

I’m tired of typing it.

Oh thank you for sharing comedian's opinion. Very, very important.

Um the OP started out as a partisan attack. So why are you surprised someone replied in kind?

Jack, pay attention:

Leaving Afghanistan is not the problem, it’s the way we left, abandoning our Afghan allies to torture and beheadings and our Americans civilians to ransom and billions of dollars of OUR weapons left behind.

:) OK. So you AGREE that we should 'withdraw'. And now you are claiming that (as you look into Anatta's Crystal Ball) if Trump was President, the 'withdrawal' would be the Most Beautiful the World has Ever Witnessed. That the Taliban would be carrying around Trump in a Golden Chair through the Streets of Kabul singing 'He's a Jolly Good Fellow, he's a Jolly Good Fellow'.

It's hard to argue with Anatta's Crystal Ball.

Wrong again, Earl. It's the 'Cut & Run' that is the Problem.

Jack, after this horrible debacle by Slow Joe, surely you see the merit of withdrawing the civilians FIRST and the military next...surely.

President Trump would not have done what Biden did. You know that.
