The red-pilling of Bill Maher continued this week.
During his monologue on Friday night, Bill tore into Democrats and the media for trying to completely rewrite the story of 9/11 without Islamic terror, sanitizing history for the sake of political correctness.
People joke about Maher being like a broken clock that only gets things right twice a day at best, but he really has been going after the left pretty hard this year.
The points he makes here about what is happening with 9/11 are pretty spot on.
Partial transcript via Real Clear Politics:
BILL MAHER: And finally, New Rule, since it’s the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and since for 25 years we’ve been kept relatively safe from anything close to another 9/11, how about a hand for the Americans who made that happen? Because it didn’t just happen. There was a war on terror, and we won. And yet, so much has changed since 9/11. For example, back then, we were against the terrorists. Really, no cap.
Now, a lot of media outlets don’t even want you to say the T-word. On the 20th anniversary, four American journalism associations put out guidance that said that terrorism should only be used in quotes, because it’s emotionally and politically loaded. Yeah, so is the World Cup, but we don’t put soccer in quotes.
Really? We can’t anymore just say out loud who the bad guys were that morning? Those 19 hijackers? They shared something. Oh, let’s call it a worldview. And it wasn’t astrology. But somehow over time, we’ve decided not to harp on that, the whole business about who wanted us dead and why. Let’s not put a name on it. When it comes to terrorist attacks, please, there are very fine people on both sides.
Canadian state TV told its reporters, do not refer to the September 11th attacks as terrorist attacks. No? Even though the very definition of terrorism is using violence against civilians to pursue ideological goals, what should we call it then? Unruly passenger? A wrong turn taken at the Chrysler building? Why not just say the planes and the towers got into a fight?
I mean, after all, as the BBC advised its reporters, using the word terrorist can be a quote, barrier rather than an aid to understanding. You know what’s really a barrier to understanding? Lying.
Back in 2001, after the attack, I said this. Political correctness itself is something we can no longer afford. Feelings are going to get hurt so that actual people won’t.

Here’s a fun thought experiment.
Do you think Democrats and the media would be trying to change the history of 9/11 if Republicans were involved? Not a chance.
