Maher's main beef with the right wing tonight: a perceived lack of focus on real issues. He rattled off a list of what he called the "useless distractions that make up the Republican Party agenda" - they included public unions, Sharia law, anchor babies, the "Ground Zero mosque," NPR, and the "war on Christmas," among others. So bad is this problem, Maher said, that trying to govern with Republicans "is like rooming with a meth addict" who, instead of rent, is worrying that police bugged the air conditioner.
Maher ridiculed Oklahoma for voting to ban Sharia when the Muslim population there is "rapidly approaching zero." He ridiculed the ACORN crackdown: "Republicans are obsessed with people cooking up wild, nonexistent schemes to vote, ignoring one important truth: this is America. No one wants to vote." And he ridiculed the New Black Panthers furor thusly: "Every black person scares you."
