Quote:Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., suggested Saturday that viewers boycott comedian Bill Maher’s HBO talk show after he devoted a segment of Friday's program to bashing the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, calling it a “bulls--- purity test.”

"Maybe folks should boycott his show," said Tlaib, who went on to compare criticism of the BDS movement to the controversy surrounding boycotts of South Africa's apartheid regime in the 1970s and 1980s.

"I am tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom," the lawmaker continued. "This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa. It didn't work then and it won't now."

Maher’s segment came one day after the Israeli government said it would deny entry to Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for their support of the BDS movement following an appeal from President Trump.

Maher opined that Omar’s past comments, in which she seemed to suggest that “Jews control the world, control the money,” might have played a part in “why they don’t get a hero’s welcome.”

Tlaib's tweet came in response to a post by Intercept columnist Mehdi Hasan, who criticized “Liberal” Maher for “railing against BDS, Palestinians and Omar/Tlaib with an all-white panel featuring no Palestinians, no Arabs, no Muslims, no people of colour.”

Modern day Jacobins.

Gotta be careful when criticizing todays Democrat Hitler Youth movement.

They have reached the "eating their own" stage now.

Maher seemed reasonable in the clip posted.

This just points to the extremism that is taking over the political environment. Some of these new Democrats are hate filled, anti-American, nuts.

Oddly though, the majority of the Democrats aren't actively even trying to silence our downplay the liberal extremists. They're too cucked out and believe it would be the death of their career. So thus, the liberal car is self driving and going right over the edge of the extremist cliff.

If Trump wins in 2020, what we're seeing in Portland will be standard in every major city run by Democrats (which is nearly every major city).

If any of these Democrats win in 2020, what we're seeing in Portland will also be standard in every major city run by Democrats.

Inmates own the asylum in that party now.

I look at the Tlaib-Israeli scuffle right now like this.
Let's say you have someone (obviously not a friend) who is always talking crap about you and your family. This person(s) is always badmouthing you even though you remain neutral (unlike Trump who slams back). Okay, so this person wants to come to your home but you're hesitant in inviting him/her and you tell 'em no. So you relent and say okay let's bury the hatchet but you will have to refrain from making more ugly, hateful remarks about me and my family. Now, the person says, "well, in that case I don't want to come", thus making it very obvious that the only reason she wanted to be invited was to stir up more crap.

Everyone knows that I don't share the "love" of homosexuality and I've been vocal about it on this site. Now let's say that I want to visit Tulane's home, him knowing how I felt about his lifestyle, would he invite me? Probably but perhaps on the condition I don't slam his homosexuality. But, I decline because I feel that he is hindering my hate for him and his ilk. Now, who's right?

Well Tulane would probably back out on his invitation anyway.
