A fair question. I've actually watched a fair amount of Milo's old appearances on the BBC, where he was something of a regular. He made a lot of the same points, he just did it in a much less confrontational fashion. Granted, the more extreme points of view did not come up on the BBC. I get the impression that he believes a lot of what he says, he simply says it in a outrageous way to provoke more of a response.
Maher called him a potential heir to Hitchens, who I believe is one of the most intelligent, erudite and articulate human beings the planet has produced. In this I disagree, Milo isn't a tenth of what Hitchens is, but they both enjoy(ed) stirring the pot.
