Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit [W:439, 529, 978, 1489]

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Who put her life on the line again, US Conservative? Geller.
Apparently rightie statists aren't about taking responsibility for their choices, huh ?

P.S. Anyone who aligns their political philosophy with Ayn Rand is the complete opposite of a statist.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Geller's speech is the very type of speech the First Amendment protects
Exactly!

I still think she's wrong, though ...

[but - I'll fight to protect her right to be wrong]
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

So you believe they are inciting violence by drawing cartoons of Muhammad? What else incites extremist Muslims to be violent?
Muslim men don't take kindly to being ridiculed by uncovered women and have often responded violently..
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Thanks!

Here's the one I'd like to hear your response to....

nimby --- you say that you do not believe that making fun of religion should be illegal across the board. You say it's "the way" pamela geller did it.

So give me a scenario where making fun of islam is done the "right way".

While we are on a war footing with these terrorists, I don't think there is a "right way" to make fun of Islam, though I don't know why you wouldn't capitalize it.
We've always been brought up in the USA to believe we are better than that--from either ideological EXTREME.

What Geller has really done is far more insidious and dangerous than what ISIL has done MENTALLY.
She has single-handedly birthed an untold number of HOME-GROWN terrorists---something that should scare ALL Americans.
In time, liberals will own as many guns per capita as conservatives .
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

No, he should not defend ugly, hateful, gratuitously provocative and irresponsible speech.
Does drawing a picture of Mohammed really fall into those categories? You must really feel strongly about this guy.

P.S. Anyone who aligns their political philosophy with Ayn Rand is the complete opposite of a statist.

Speaking of Rand, how do you feel about the way his GOP is attacking him right now?
While McConnell wants the Patriot Act passed untouched, with its mass-gathering of data?

I support McConnell on this--how else can we stop the terrorists?
I know I'm not breaking the law .

Yes, even leftists seem to be realizing that terrorism is happening at home rather than just in far off lands to people of a different background and culture. This threat existed long before Pamela Geller arrived on the scene and there have been many attacks on Americans in the US, and elsewhere, which didn't involve her at all. These attacks were were carried out by Islamists hoping to terrify Americans -hence the word terrorism- and terror certainly seems to be taking hold of the leftists.

The most recent Terror attack on our soil was in December 2014. The perpetrator is dead along with 2 of his hostages. I recognise and am aware of the very real threat that extremist groups can pose to Australians. For the purpose of this conversation I'll just add that I will not and do not have any intention of altering my lifestyle as a result of that incident.

Here we value retaining our freedoms, the left is asking us to alter them as a result of this incident. Not gonna happen.
 
Re: Two Shot at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

No, but the motives of the intended victims certainly are.

As they should be.
Even conservatives on FOX are embarrassed and disgusted with Geller's garbage to invite terrorism .

The "left" as you see it is saying we don't want any more of Bush's "bring it on" stupidity.
How's that been working for the dunce of last decade, US Conservative ?

No one on this board needs a lecture from you Grant on terror in OUR homeland.

Being the "independent" who ALWAYS posts as a GOP/Conservative and incessantly uses the word liberal as if it's a bad thing.

How dare you accuse any Americans of "just realizing" that terrorism is happening at home!
Unless none of those killed in the twin towers were liberals.
Just more BILs from you trying to divide Americans.

And none of those 4,500 soldiers killed in chicken**** chickenhawk Cheney's lying war were "liberals" either were they Grant?
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Wounded Warriors still swamping our VA that the idiot Rumsfeld didn't plan on in his 6-month war.

Although I agree Obama is a dunce, I am surprised to see you refer to him as such. Stop appeasing evil-screw evil.

What terror in our homeland, ISIS? They are the JV team, remember?

I don't think those are particularly in question either. Pretty sure we know what they were.

Who is asking you to "alter your freedoms"?

Good for you and neither should any of us.

What do you think they were? There have been a few guesses.

Islamic terror is an international problem and how each of the democracies handle it is important to us all. Terrorism is not isolated to the United States, nor are the appeasers.
Being the "independent" who ALWAYS posts as a GOP/Conservative and incessantly uses the word liberal as if it's a bad thing.
It many cases it is and has given the original meaning of 'liberal' a bad name. There is a time for both.
How dare you accuse any Americans of "just realizing" that terrorism is happening at home!
That seems to be the case for many, as though it all began with Pamela Geller.
Unless none of those killed in the twin towers were liberals. Just more BILs from you trying to divide Americans.
Me dividing Americans? You overestimate my influence.
And none of those 4,500 soldiers killed in chicken**** chickenhawk Cheney's lying war were "liberals" either were they Grant?
Most were republicans who supported their President. In fact it was a liberal, Al Gore, who didnt want their votes to be counted. And of course the war was lost when Obama retreated from victory.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Wounded Warriors still swamping our VA that the idiot Rumsfeld didn't plan on in his 6-month war.
Amazing that I know more about US history than you. And of course this is another example of how the Leftists are dividing America, giving terrorsts more reason why the country is evil.

She didn't invite terrorism. They were already here and went to her venue.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

The left, by telling everyone what they can and can't say.
Orwell couldn't have demonstrated it better.

Ah, yes. "The left." :roll:

Nobody is telling you that you can't say things. Yet another lie.
