Maher Goes Off on PC College Protesters: ‘Who Raised These Little Monsters?!’

maher2Bill Maher tonight tackled protests at both the University of Missouri and Yale. And while he was a little sympathetic to the concerns of Mizzou students, he really let Yale protesters have it.

Maher agreed with Mizzou protesters that it’s infuriating for black people to hear racism’s over when there are still problems and maybe it’s a problem when “clueless people” are in charge.

That being said, Maher said the university president wasn’t a “war criminal” and the protesters’ tactic of a media-free zone made them “look like the Chinese army” because “their right to not be offended does not supersede the First Amendment.”

But Yale pissed him off a lot more. In the past week Yale students have been outraged that a school official dared suggest in an email that people maybe chill about supposedly offensive Halloween costumes.

Maher, who went on a rant about liberals making Halloween more PC weeks ago, found the Yale protests ridiculous and asked, “Who raised these little monsters?!”

Jay Leno said it’s just the pendulum swinging from a time when people could say anything they want and get away with it to a time when everything is problematic. Dylan Ratigan argued that the hypersensitivity is only in response to serious issues of structural racism.
