June 8th, 2010 11:50 AM
Editor's Note: The following originally appeared at Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood. Sometimes it’s just so easy. I mean if I really wanted to, I could find all the material needed to expose the folly of the far left just by watching Bill Maher every week and picking apart the claims he offers as “fact” while urged on with hosannas by his trained seals in the Real Time audience.
