Tlaib suggests boycotting Maher show after he calls anti-Israel boycott movement 'BS purity test'
The Hill ^ | 8/18/19 | JUSTIN WISE

Posted on 08/18/2019 10:11:12 AM PDT by Libloather

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) late Saturday suggested that viewers should boycott comedian Bill Maher’s late-night HBO show over his vehement criticism of the international movement to boycott Israel.

Tlaib, who was denied entry to Israel last week over her support of the movement, said that she was "tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom."

“This is exactly how they tried to discredit & stop the boycott to stand up against the apartheid in S. Africa,” Tlaib added. “It didn't work then and it won't now.”

**SNIP**

Omar and Tlaib, who became the first Muslim women sworn into Congress in January, have been outspoken critics of Israel during their time in office. The two have also supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, voting against a congressional resolution to condemn it earlier this year.

Maher on Friday voiced strong criticism of the BDS movement on HBO's "Real Time," calling it a "a bullshit purity test by people who want to appear woke but actually slept through history class."

Tlaib should be deported or tried and sent to Guantanamo IMMEDIATELY, with her financial backers and puppetmeisters included! What a purely Satanic bitch to let into America, for Heaven’s sakes USA in in trouble!

It’s such a delight when DemoRats fight— each other that is.

Do not clutch serpents to your bosom. No matter how sorry and how much pity you have for their plight.

Because serpents do what serpents do. And “grateful” is not part of their lexicon.

Neither is remorse.

I cant believe two out of 535 are getting all the attention. Two Muslims and they are acting like they own the place. I shutter to think in 2050 when 200 are in congress.

I wonder if Maher ever feels conflicted in some way. He’s an a-hole, but does seem to be a bit smarter than the run-of-the-mill lib. I wonder who’ll win this cat fight.

Keep it up, babe. I couldn’t pay her enough to be the face of the Democrat Party and be comparing to Jews to the whites who used to run South Africa!

Unfortunately, Maher looks just like his mother. He has a Woody Allen ugly type face. His father was good looking. I hope his sister takes after the dad.

Maher is getting close to his sell by date as an old white guy and playing with fire. If he steps off the Dem plantation on one issue too many like this he will be a goner.

Tlaib is handing out boycotts as if she was Oprah.

A boycott against you. And a boycott for against you. And you get a boycott, and you, and you and you...

How do you choose sides when your enemies are beating each other up?

Root for both?

But Tlaib is a Muslim. Rather have thousands of jerks like Maher around the thousands of Tlaibs.

“Ya, but is he a Jew? Because if he is, Tlaib hates him.

And she hates all the other Jews in the media, democrat party (I know, redundant) and Hollywood.

You’d think they’d wise up to this, but they won’t.”

Maybe is good cop/bad cop with these Semites. (Arabs are Semites)

Let’s not get involved with their sibling rivalries.

Maher and Ann Coulter used to be buds of sorts. I guess some of her ‘ conservatism’ rubbed off on him a bit. Every now and then Maher will surprise on some topics away from leftardism.

“It’s one of the few good things about him.

At least he gets it right on Israel.”

Has he ever said such a thing about the current POTUS? or any conservative? I am not aware. POTUS ran to Pelosi’s defense after she was called a racist by fellow radical but young demokraps. Look how they turned on POTUS.

I’d not run to his defense even if I might agree with him on an issue. In politics, it is better to step back and let the opposition devour each other.
