It is unimaginable. The descent of the mainstream media into out-and-out pro-jihad agitation is complete. Two Islamic jihadists attempt to murder hundreds of people at our free speech event in Texas, and the Washington Post says that I “offer no apology.”
I offer no apology? What apology exactly do I owe for almost being murdered?
“Abraham Lincoln offers no apology after John Wilkes Booth lodges a bullet in his brain”
“Julius Caesar offers no apology after Cassius and Brutus stab him to death”
“Jews offer no apology after Nazis kill six million”
“Event organizer offers no apology after thwarted attack in Texas,” by Sandhya Somashekhar, Washington Post, May 4, 2015:
"Pamela Geller, the woman behind the Texas cartoon contest attacked by two gunmen late Sunday, knew what she was doing when she staged the controversial event featuring irreverent depictions of the prophet Muhammad in Garland, Tex."
Yes, I knew what I was doing. I was standing for the freedom of speech in the teeth of violent intimidation. What the WaPo thinks I was doing, that’s another question.
The collective has submitted, caved to the demands of Islamic savages. And as egregious as that is, it is not enough. They attack, punish, and libel patriotic Americans who refuse to submit and grovel to the destroyers. They are cowards, and attempt to destroy brave individuals who refuse to be sniveling cowards, as they are.

Make a list of what offends them and a list of what doesn’t and see which one is longer.
Pray America is waking
Pamela Geller is a National Treasure!
When the Des Moines Register demanded a sit down with their editorial board, she recognized it as an ambush and ignored the request.
In a related story..Nicole Brown Simpson still hasn't issued any regrets to former husband OJ for being in the way of him swinging a knife around her..developing..
In the forums I’ve visited, this incident is making the liberals’ heads explode. They’re lashing out like cranky babies, as if they really wanted the terrorists to succeed.
It’s messing with their commie narrative on so many levels.
-Police do good and stop the attack. With guns!
-1st Amendment, not just for liberals anymore.
-Black lives matter...uhh.
-You can’t stand up to evil, body-mowing assault weapons with a pistol!
-Texas!
Pamela for president!
A better example would be Reagan apologizing to Hinkley. Instead Reagan apologized to his wife.
Just watched Geller on FoxNews with McCallum.
McCallum held the company line: ‘you are offending Islam!’
—
It makes one wonder what part of ‘free speech’ the media doesn’t understand.
McCallum kept trying to bring up moral equivalents. Geller shoved them back in her face.
Geller brought up that Islam commands Christians to convert or die.
That didn’t register with McCallum — ‘well, they die as martyrs.’
What about demanding an apology from the “artists” who depicted a crucified Jesus in urine and other despicable pieces of “art”?????????????????????????????
That’s a good come back.
Excellent.
I’m stealing that.
The next attack may come to a softer target.
Dim bulb...made so much more obvious by trying to go head to head with Pamela who has the gift of exposing every scintilla of the BS these people blather.
There is a strange but obvious affection for radical Islam by the (misnamed) “mainstream” media and (misnamed) “progressives”. They share tactics (destroy ALL who oppose or even question). To speculate as to why… I would offer both the radical Left and radical Islam’s “kinship” is a totalitarian mindset and a vitriolic hatred of Judeo-Christian values… and their source the Holy Bible. When people worship God of the Bible first and foremost, their loyalties are not primarily to the State and the all-powerful “collective” (Islam is the state). Despots from Nero to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong-un, various Islam “holy men” all the way to “dear leader” BHO (and Hitlery?)… demand and have a pathological need to be worshiped. A somewhat different take on Exodus 20:3: “You shall have NO OTHER god’s before Me”.
Here's what the WAPo said just 4 months ago following the Islamist attack on Charlie Hebdo:
Several publishers in Western countries have disgraced themselves in recent years with self-censorship to avoid being targeted by Islamic militants. The French newspaper Charlie Hebdo did the opposite: Even after its offices were firebombed in 2011, and even after its editor was put on an al-Qaeda wanted list, it continued to courageously publish cartoons and articles lampooning Islam — as well as Christianity, Judaism and established religion in general.

The reaction must be not only one of protest and determination to apprehend the perpetrators. Media in democratic nations must also consciously commit themselves to rejecting intimidation by Islamic extremists or any other movement that seeks to stifle free speech through violence.
Excellent. The wife and I were discussing that very thing this morning. I had intended to go find something like what you posted.
Needs to be hammered hard.
Do you have the url for that handy?
Oof...should have provided link.
Link to the Washington Post’s editorial referenced above.
She needs to another event...this time at the front door of the Washington Post
