Debbie Schlussel The host of ABC's "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher" is under undue attack from advertisers Sears, Roebuck and Co. and FedEx over comments he made on the late-night show Monday Night. Angry viewers, too caught up in the emotions of last week's horrible terrorist attacks, misconstrued Bill's clear comments, contacted these advertisers and successfully nagged them into pulling their ads. It's very silly, really. But it's playing into the terrorists' hands. What were Bill's "offensive" comments? Bill said that our military campaigns and tactics are cowardly. "We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly." What's so offensive about that? It's the truth. Not about our brave servicemen, but about our wimpy politicos. It's partly our lack of guts that got us into this mess in the first place - our lack of guts to pose the serious counter-terrorism fight we should've installed years ago; our lack of guts to stand up for other countries, like Israel, and allow them to fight terrorism; and our lack of guts to go after the many countries that harbor terrorists.
