    Imagine my surprise when in the spring of
    1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting
    me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with
    the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler.
    I had been a vocal critic of his on the
    radio from the beginning, pretty much
    predicting everything he was going to do
    on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew
    encouraged me to go. “He’s Hitler. He’s a
    monster.” But eventually I concluded that
    hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldn’t
    change his views, but we need to talk to
    the other side — even if it has invaded and
    annexed other countries and committed
    unspeakable crimes against humanity.

    Bill Maher responded along much the same lines to his White House
    dinner with the President.

    You fucked up Bill admit it. Smug bastard.
