‘Makes Me So Incensed’: Bill Maher, Adam Carolla Unload On Left For Shunning People Who Think Differently

Comedians Bill Maher and Adam Carolla rebuked the political left for excluding individuals who hold heterodox views during a Monday episode of “Club Random.”

Maher and Carolla, who both live in the Los Angeles area, are not religious and support abortion and smoking marijuana. Yet they lamented on the podcast that the left had cast them out and treated them as conservatives.

“It’s so hard to not be on one of the extremes, to not have a team. I mean, it just really sucks. And especially in this town where everyone’s on one team … They are very exclusionary,” Maher said. “They really just don’t want to breathe the same air if you’re not exactly with the groupthink, while they’re not that bright.”

Carolla agreed and argued that Americans should focus on shared beliefs rather than dissent.

“I know … it’s counterintuitive to me because I always feel like you should be looking for things you agree on, not looking for things you disagree on,” he said. “And it just makes life so much easier and so much better. And it’s almost like saying, ‘Look, we like to go out to dinner. Let’s not try to figure out what food you hate and I love. Let’s try to figure out the food we both love and let’s go enjoy ourselves.’”

“And it’s pretty easy to do because if you think about most people who you may disagree with, or maybe I disagree with, it’s not 10 out of 10 things. We agree on eight out of 10 things,” he continued. “And maybe we have a disagreement about two out of 10 things. Like people say to me all the time, ‘Oh, you’re Republican and right leaning.’ I go, ‘Listen, I don’t own a gun. I’m not religious at all. I’m for abortion and pot smoking and everything. How, how right can I be?’”
