My initial reaction to the Pamela Geller contest was opposition. I didn't like defaming a religious figure. But having watched both liberals and conservatives (O'Reilly, Van Susteren and Ingram) blasting Geller, I have changed my mind. Megyn Kelly convinced me that we cannot give radical Islamists a "heckler's veto." Free speech is too important and where does this veto stop? They essentially get to impose Sharia Law, at least related to blasphemy laws.
Liberals reaction is particularly interesting. Liberals were very much in favor of the government funded, Piss Christ, exhibit. They love the Book of Mormons show on Broadway. They are also the "champions" of women and gay rights (which obviously Islamists are 100% opposed to both and even kill when the mood strikes them). But they give Islam a very wide berth. Their hypocrisy is astounding.
Geller has received death threats from ISIS and neither Homeland Security or the FBI have contacted her. Atrocious. You may not like her or her methods, but we cannot let the radicals win on this issue. It's simply too important.
Btw, has any else noticed the stupidity of liberals that have called Geller's conference hate speech and a violation of the first amendment? Cuomo of CNN is a law school graduate and claimed her speech was unconstitutional. What an idiot. Other libs like Chrissy Mathews and the NY Times have also made claims along these lines. What is wrong with these people?
