Bill Maher went on to apologize for this comment but he apologized for the ill timing of the comment and not so much the comment itself. He also explained what his comment actually meant. These are grounds for a controversial apology, because at no point did he accept fault or recognize that his actions were incorrect. In addition to this he has continued to make extreme comments like that of the terrorists demonstrating that he hasn't changed much. This leads one to wonder if he should have apologized at all if from his point of view, his actions are correct.
Terror Attacks Spark Cowardly Debate
With such a controversial type of thinking, I guess that if he were to say that he was wrong to say such a thing and in addition, say that what he said was incorrect in itself, he would lose all of his pride and would be, in a way, lying to himself. What angle are you going to tackle in the writing of your essay?
