Real Time with Bill Maher: Je Suis Charlie -­ January 9, 2015

Bill Maher and panelists Salman Rushdie, Carly Fiorina and Paul Begala discuss the recent terror attacks in France.

Bill Maher: "I wanna look on the bright side, and actually, I feel like there was a bright side this week. I saw a reaction from non-Muslims and Muslims alike that I've never seen before when shit like this went down. Do you think we've reached the tipping point where people have just had enough of this shit?"

1. I wish they could have muzzled Fiorina, she added nothing

and kept interrupting Rushdie, a horrible sin since he's the one guy on the panel who knows what he's talking about.

6. For her to say that this kind of craziness is limited to Islam

indicates how uninformed she is. I've heard modern Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals say that the Enlightenment was where all our problems began.

2. I think Bill may be right about the tipping point having been reached.

Though will it be where Muslims ask for help and fight back to stop the extremism. Or will it be a tipping point where other countries begin their own Iraq agenda.

I can't watch except when someone posts it here and I really liked this panel. Hated to see the segment end. I can't wait for HBO to have online access to this show and John Oliver's show. !
