However, HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" host Bill Maher doesn't seem to take issue with using trumped up emotions to push an agenda. The difference - he is approaching things from the…

Deutsch Praises Beck for Massa Interview: 'Beck Actually Helped His Br
Compliments sometimes come from strange places, but you'll take them where you can get them, no?
