It's his politics. If you are even remotely right leaning, you get attacked constantly, be you a celebrity or just a regular joe.

For instance, Rush Limbaugh not being allowed to be a part owner of a NFL team, but it's perfectly all right for Bill Maher to own part of the Mets (albeit a different sport).
