DNC Vice Chair Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) argued that it’s “crazy” to refuse to say the phrase “Islamic extremism” on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time.” Host Bill Maher said, “I’ve been trying to convince liberals, some of them, that they really need to go back to school on this issue of Islam, and what it means to be a liberal. And you I think are on the same page, you say you don’t like when it Secretary Kerry, for example, says that we should say oh, it comes from poverty or I think he said it comes from thrill seeking, Islamic extremism, and President Obama says we shouldn’t even say ‘Islamic extremism,’ we should say ‘violent extremism,’ which is just crazy, right?” Gabbard responded, “It is crazy. They do matter, words mean things, and this is what we need to look at as we look at how do we identify our enemies so that we can defeat them? By saying that they’re looking for thrill seeking, or that economic prosperity will solve the problem. Give them a big house, give them a skateboard, send them on their way. You think that’s going to solve the problem? It’s not.” She added

Maher: ‘PC Police’ Getting Offended Over Halloween Costumes Is Just ‘Lazy Liberalism’
HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher railed against “the PC police” and the “lazy liberalism” they practice by being offended over Halloween costumes on Friday. Maher said, “the PC police have to stop lecturing us on which Halloween costumes are inappropriate, or insensitive and leave Halloween to the people it was created for, middle-aged gay men. The fake outrage people get 364 days a year to be hyper-sensitive about everything. there has to be one day where going too far isn’t just okay, it’s celebrated. Halloween is supposed to be politically incorrect, that’s why we say ‘trick or treat’ instead of ‘placate and coddle.’ Maher then cited various articles “scolding people” on their costume choices and openly wondered why people were offended by them. He also listed specific examples such as, mariachis, who he said, “themselves are wearing a costume. Do you think most Mexicans wear sombreros and sequined suits? No, just the ones who play that horrible music while you’re trying to eat. Another one they hate, geisha, oh, who is that going to offend, the geisha who lives in the apartment upstairs? There’s 12 geishas in the whole world, and they’re all in Kyoto. they’re never going to find

Dem Sen Murphy: ‘I Don’t Think We Have a Plan for Destroying ISIL’
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) declared, “I don’t think we have a plan for destroying ISIL,” and “I think our objective today is to degrade them, to keep them on their heels” on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball.” Murphy said, “There’s no white knights there. And what we have already seen when we try to run this train and equip program, is that the so-called Syrian moderates really aren’t interested in just fighting ISIS, right? They want US help to be able to fight ISIL and to fight Assad. And so, this fine line that we’re trying to walk here, which is to put special forces on the ground to only fight one set of bad guys, when inevitably we’re going to be asked to be drawn into the fight against Assad is impossible. And of course, the very people we’re trying to help are deeply intertwined with our mortal enemy, al Qaeda, or at least they’re affiliated there. When asked, “Do we have a plan for destroying ISIL?” Murphy answered, “Well, I don’t think we have a plan for destroying ISIL, today. No, I think our objective today is to degrade them, to keep them on their heels, to try to eliminate
