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

Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Except it would be the GOP Isolationist Collectivists you'd be talking about in the 1930s who behaved EXACTLY as you accused current liberals. Not to mention the GOPs in Congress who actively supported Hitler and Germany in the 1930s. So much for YER rewrite .

As far as I know, that's accurate. It's also irrelevant, because I am not a supporter of the GOP.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I will tell you that I'm damn sure not interested in fighting the Muslim religion for that bitches right to color cartoon caricatures of Mohamed. She'll need the buffoons in her army for that.

I don't think you needed to tell anyone here that you are not interested in fighting. I don't know what "the buffoons in her army" refers to, but I wouldn't be surprised if you meant to insult the brave members of the U.S. Army.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

I quoted her from the NY Times. If you don't believe it the onus is on you to disprove them.

You quoted someone in the Times claiming she said that
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Those school girls in Afghanistan deserved getting acid thrown in their faces, serves them right for getting all uppity and wanting to read.

Their acts were provocative so I'm certain our liberal friends will hold them accountable
 
Liberals are all for debate unless you disagree with them. Liberals are all for freedom of speech unless they aren't offended by it. Liberals are not the ideology for freedom. Much like a theocrisy in the Middle East.
And ever notice how it's always muslims who try to kill people they disagree with? When's the last time a Christian beheaded or blew themselves up? I dunno. Just a few thoughts in a free country... Supposedly
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

Im shocked you want to silence a dissenting viewpoint. :lol:

The problem isnt Geller, its a group that thinks violence is acceptable.

If you disagree, maybe the US isn't the country for you?

I haven't ever said that. In fact, just once while you're here participating, actually pay attention. I've clearly stated that I don't want government restrictions on Geller or anyone else. I just want her to be responsible with her liberties.
 
Re: Shooting at Muhammad Art Exhibit in Texas

And you need to back off saying that Geller's garbage won't get people slaughtered .
So you're one of those who believe terrorists haven't struck before Pam Geller came along, huh? In fact they are out to kill you regardless of what Geller has to say. In fact she's giving you a head's up.

Right. Liberty on a leash.

Lol. Though anybody willing to stand before a stranger and kill or be killed, is brave, I wasn't speaking of the US army but rather her army of supporters, colouring cartoons of Mohamed like third graders, and really displaying their adolescent maturity by doing so for no other reason then to make an entire group of people whom they hate, pissed off. And in the almighty name of the first amendment. As though abusing the intent of our bill of rights to engage in hate and mean spirited expression makes them patriots, and brave.

Yes, if you were an American you would understand the responsibilities that accompany our People's Bill of Rights. Nobody can do whatever they want here, there are restrictions, rules and limitations, even to the things we say. And there's even limitations on my freedom of speech right here at DP where yourself and I are communicating. I can't simply call you what I'd like to call you...................not without paying a price anyway, eh? A security guard paid the price for Geller's irresponsible manner of expressing her liberty. She has the "right" to be ugly, provocative, mean spirited in her little amateurish display, but she has to reap the consequences. Wonder if she's been to see the injured guard and his family or not. If so, I really wonder what she told them.

There are thousands of pictures of Mohammed and this idea that no one can draw him is a recent phenomenon, much like the Burka in Iran or the west. Mohammed Image Archive

So "Liberty on a Leash" applies then.

It seems to me you're applying Taqiyya and Kitman on these boards and, if you live in the US, are relatively new there.
 
I see Gutfield's such a defender of free speech he only invited people to discuss the matter who agreed 100% with him. That clip taught me only one thing: how not to conduct a TV news debate.

The Five is a daily TV show. He didn't "invite" people to interview. Those are the regular hosts. And Juan Williams does not agree with Greg Gutfeld at all.

I see. It's not a debate programme but an agree-a-thon. Great advert for free speech.

It's mostly an agree-a-thon. They always have one person on the panel who disagrees with some things.

No, it's not an agree-a-thon. From Wiki:

According to the initial Fox News press release announcing The Five, the show features a "roundtable ensemble of five rotating Fox personalities who [...] discuss, debate and at times debunk the hot news stories, controversies and issues of the day." The Five (TV program) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm usually not home from work to catch much of this show, but it's quite entertaining. Gutfeld's "Banned Phrases," for example, is very funny.

He's been out because of back surgery, but here's info on who regular Bob Beckel is: Bob Beckel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And what do you think she did that she bears responsibility for?

Thats correct, and in some sects (that had more art/graphics than the script-only arabs of the arabian penninsula in early islam) its perfectly acceptable to have images of ole mo.

They'd probably still want to kill you if you made an image they didn't like, though. :doh

Christians have killed their fair share of people that they disagreed with. Right now it's the Muslims doing a lot of that, but it's just as ugly. Also, I see liberals here debating all the time, so I don't know what you mean, but stick around and you'll see. Otherwise, liberals and conservatives alike have shared the freedoms that "the founders" established, and there's no point in you claiming that liberals don't like freedom. It could easily be argued that absent any value otherwise, Geller's expression is hate speech, which certainly can be prosecuted. And liberals are inclined towards an opposite ideology than ME theocracies that you suggest.

Ah yes the "Christians did it too (1000 years ago)" argument.

Leftists and Islamic theocracies go together like peanut butter and jelly.

If they didn't-we wouldn't even be discussing an attack by ISIS on American soil.
