isn't that the same thing as a comedian? i'm a joke? what's your theory about why maher skates about this. >> clear lay double standard. partly i think mostly because is he a liberal. he is allowed to say these things even in front of keith ellison. keith ellison who broke down in tears at the hearing that representative peter king held the other day he hears something more broad brushed and far more mean and sort of about islam than anything he heard at the hearing the other day. and it's just sort of like well, let's have a conversation about. this bill maher actually succeeded in saying something actually politically incorrect which as something he labels as politically incorrect. >> bill: response was if somebody said to me the new testament of the bible is hate filled which is dangerous to the world i pretty much would take exception to that. and have a much more spirited response than mr. ellison did, juan. and i'm saying does maher --
religion and the jewish religion, there are a lot of different interpretations of the scripture. you know, there are fundamentalists christians and then there are christians who don't take it literally that take it as a metaphor. >> don't use that as an excuse. >> bill: i'm not using it as excuse. >> jihad. personal journey. they are talking about killing me and you. >> bill: there are peaceful muslims, juan you would agree with me. >> absolutely. most muslims. >> bill: they are not incited to blow anybody up. >> picking up on mary katharine's point people are using that document as justification for violent action. >> bill: no doubt about it? >> only if you are a liberal though. >> bill: plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. holder approves dumbed down tests for police officers in ohio. but the naacp condemns the action. megyn kelly is investigating. then, bernie goldberg on the npr scandal, is the left-wing media playing that down? we hope you stay tuned to those reports. age
whipped you. >> bill: before i left juan answer, i do have two reasons which may take the edge off this. number one, maher's program is on hbo. it's on the weekend. i don't know how well-watched it is. number two with the japanese intrusion on cable news, everybody is paying attention to that. this takes on a lesser importance. so, that might be two reasons why nobody is involved with this, juan. >> well, i think it's also important to say here that, you know, there is oftentimes executions made for bill maher because people say oh, he is a comedian. that's a show in which he has serious people like congressman ellison on. is he having a discussion. >> bill: absolutely. >> he describes the koran as a hate-filled document. now, if you, bill bill owely, you are doing a information show here, and if you said it, i don't think they would say oh, you know, that's just bill o'reilly. is he a big personality. no, they would say that's a news show and you would be held responsible. >> bill: some people think i'm a comedian, mary katharine. i have heard that before.
mary katharine, is that it isn't politically based. maher's statement is not politically based. he just hates all religions. you know that is he an atheist. he hates all religions. it could be any religion. if it's in the spotlight, is he going to take an ax to it. when you hear maher say any of this it's not out of any political belief it's an antireligious across the board belief. let mary katharine wrap it up for us. >> yeah. i think what's going on here he is getting a double standard. what i kind of like about the political incorrectness of the discussion it prevents us from seeing the real conflict between moderate and fundamental forces in islam. keith ellison facing up to that and saying we have a problem we need to fix. you heard at that hearing the other day real muslims dealing with this problem in the communities. people were freaking out about the political correctness that they couldn't hear those stories. we need to hear them and deal with that. >> bill: just like the christian religion and the jewish
religion, there are a lot of different interpretations of the scripture. you know, there are fundamentalists christians and then there are christians who don't take it literally that take it as a metaphor. >> don't use that as an excuse. >> bill: i'm not using it as excuse. >> jihad. personal journey. they are talking about killing me and you. >> bill: there are peaceful muslims, juan you would agree with me. >> absolutely. most muslims. >> bill: they are not incited to blow anybody up. >> picking up on mary katharine's point people are using that document as justification for violent action. >> bill: no doubt about it? >> only if you are a liberal though. >> bill: plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. holder approves dumbed down tests for police officers in ohio. but the naacp condemns the action. megyn kelly is investigating. then, bernie goldberg on the npr scandal, is the left-wing media playing that down? playing that down? we hope you stay tuned to those [ female announcer ] women move the world.
