Bill Maher , Flat Earthers and Asra Nomani makes a fool of herself

Bill Maher , Flat Earthers and Asra Nomani makes a fool of herself I can not recall screaming at the TV as loud as I did last night listening to this horrid woman Asra Nomani.

The danger to our democracy is not the ever more accepted in your face bigotry and hate dispensed by the likes of Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos. Or even the wholesale head slapping ignorance of Sarah Palin and Louie Gohmert. No the danger is from the likes of Asra Nomani, a Muslim, an immigrant and a woman who supports, promotes and voted for Donald Trump arguing that we must accept and reach out to not only a few silly Flat Earthers but to also accept and promote our new culture of alternative facts, ignorance, stupidity and flat out in your face lies. Asra Nomani has made my skin crawl more than Palin, Milo and Coulter combined.

I have to give a credit to Seth MacFarlane, a serious promoter of science, sitting next to her for not reaching out to her with roundhouse upside the head. I have even more respect for Fran Lebowitz to sit there quietly reserved while shaking her inner head in disbelief and not throwing her coffee cup across the stage at her. I would not have been able to contain myself. And as there were no windows to break, no CVS to loot or cop car to set afire I would have at the very least given her a hard thumb under finger snap to the nose. Repeatedly until she shut the fked up.

As to these Flat Earthers, I have to say they need to get out on the ocean in a boat.

We take my granddaughter out fishing the rigs here in the gulf of Mexico, sometimes 100 miles out. There are hundred foot high rigs and anchored container ships as tall all over the place. As we move to and away from them they begin to sink into the water in the distance. We explain to her observance that they are not sinking but because the Earth is round, the curve of it gets in the way to make it look like they are sinking. She understood instinctively. She is four.
