Eat your cake and have it, too?
What victims?
The only dead people are the terrorists
So you excuse the acts of animals on a moron that was not involved in their heinous act?What victims?So it's OK to piss off nut-jobs if you KNOW they are going to retaliate by murdering innocent people?
Don't tell me that we need to support free speech at all costs, tell the victims families.
The only dead people are the terrorists
Maybe not in this case, but do you remember the Quran burning douche Terry Jones?
Afghan mob kills at least 12 UN workers in protest over Terry Jones’s Koran-burning
“Wait,” you say, “since when did Terry Jones burn a Koran?” Turns out he did it 12 days ago after some sort of kangaroo court/mock trial. I didn’t know about it until today; apparently, after being savaged last fall for condemning Jones’s provocation while devoting saturation coverage to it, most of the national media wisely decided to ignore him this time. Most, but not all: Someone must have picked up the story because, by last Thursday, our “friend” Hamid Karzai had formally denounced Jones’s act. Then, a week later, our “friends” in the Pakistani government denounced it too, replete with an open letter to the head of Interpol asking him to arrest Jones for the “violent crime” he supposedly committed. In other words, faced with a choice between pleasing local fundamentalists by publicizing a provocation they were trying to demagogue and alienating the fundies by ignoring it in order to avert a violent backlash, our “allies” decided to cover their own asses by stirring the pot. And let’s face it: Given the consequences these days in AfPak for being seen as soft on blasphemy, that’s a perfectly rational decision. Someone’s going to die....

Technically, I should be able to go up to an old lady who just lost her husband and call her a slut. Would you support THAT kind of free speech?
I wouldn't, If I ever saw that, I'd punch the stupid bastard in his face.
So you excuse the acts of animals on a moron that was not involved in their heinous act?
Get a grip bro
Muslims burn their book all the time and cabbie swallows their propaganda
You just tried to justify their actions as that of a result of his.So you excuse the acts of animals on a moron that was not involved in their heinous act?
Get a grip bro
Who in the FUCK said that I excused them, FUCK THAT!!! Quit being an intellectually dishonest ass-hat.
MLK used civil disobediance knowing it would incite haters to react. Was that justified? Sometimes the only way for exposing the haters is to bring them out in the open.
That folks, is the reason the 1st amendment exists.
Just the facts......think theres any Korans in mosques they take turns bombing....... .... You're the next contestant on Muslim may IMuslims burn their book all the time and cabbie swallows their propaganda
^^^^^ Mr "Head-Up-His-Ass" speaks.
Actually people are feeling the oppression of those in power, whether through laws or actions. There wasn't the violence or even threats of violence when the Muslims held their 'respect the prophet meeting' in the same venue as Geller used.MLK used civil disobediance knowing it would incite haters to react. Was that justified? Sometimes the only way for exposing the haters is to bring them out in the open.
That folks, is the reason the 1st amendment exists.
the difference is that free expression in America is not oppressed and the event was not an act of civil disobedience.
a political activist didn't start a drawing contest because she felt the oppression of American laws.
You can support free speech without supporting the morons that abuse it.
Pamela had every right to draw despicable cartoons of another religions prophet. Doesn't make it a cause I have to support.
What does especially now mean? No one denied their right to be assholes so there is no free speech issue involved.You can support free speech without supporting the morons that abuse it.
Pamela had every right to draw despicable cartoons of another religions prophet. Doesn't make it a cause I have to support.
No one's asking you to support it, or at least no one should be. But you SHOULD stand up and defend their right to say it. We have to defend all speech, especially now.
So it's OK to piss off nut-jobs if you KNOW they are going to retaliate by murdering innocent people?
Don't tell me that we need to support free speech at all costs, tell the victims families.
One out of three.Phelps is dead, the Nazis are no more and the KKK is a non issue today.
Free speech MUST carry a measure of responsibility.....
Keep in mind that we were fortunate that only those 2 would-be-terrorists were killed....but it could have been different. Bear in mind that Geller had a phalanx of security EXPECTING (and even luring) a terrorist act.
Unfortunately it's NOT over and innocent Americans will bear the blunt of retaliation for Geller's stunt..while she safely prances to the nearest bank to collect her "just rewards" for being a hate monger.
