Where are you Rush?

Where are you Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity?

And what about you, Matt Drudge and Joseph Farah?

The cunning Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which Internet writer Selwyn Duke calls “a group that could be the legal arm of al-Qaeda” is out to take down radio talk show host Michael Savage.

First Doc Savage, then ????

[dynachrome]

Canadian take on CAIR v. Savage.

Calling out Rush, Hannity, etc.

Thanks to Rockabyebaby for the heads up!

[JJR RNCH]

bump for later

[Sherman Logan]

Can’t we find someone less unpleasant and annoying to defend?

[airborne]

If they take down Savage, they will be gunning for Rush and the rest next.

[Travis McGee]

If they can destroy Savage, who is next?

[CIDKauf]

Michael can defend himself quite nicely, thank you.

[Sherman Logan]

As I understand it, CAIR has launched a campaign to boycott advertisers on his program. This is an example of CAIR using their freedom of speech.

A great many Freepers have proposed boycotts of advertisers on programs they disagree with. It is a perfectly legitimate tactic, although difficult to implement effectively.

Well I guess if Savage wasn’t such a curmudgeon and didn’t call Rush, Hush Bimbo, and O’Reilly the Leprechaun and deride Sean Hannity etc... that they might feel like defending him a little more. If I was one of them I’d tell Savage to go pound sand too. I’m guessing quite a few are thinking, “couldn’t have happened to a nicer person”.

“If they can destroy Savage, who is next?”

All of them!

[dynachrome]

CAIR is a terrorist, sharia law organization. They use threats and intimidation, such as lawsuits to shut down anyone that tells the truth about the Religion of Death.
Not a boycott in the traditional sense.

In December 2001, the United States Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control designated Holy Land Foundation as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.[2] while the European Union froze its European Assets.[3] Among the founders of the Holy Land Foundation is Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, a political leader of Hamas, who provided substantial funds to the Holy Land Foundation in the early 1990s. In 1994, Marzook (who was named a Specially Designated Terrorist by the Treasury Department in 1995) designated HLF as the primary fund-raising entity for Hamas in the United States. He was deported from the United States to Jordan in 1997. Marzook was indicted on August 20, 2004 by a United States federal grand jury in Chicago, Illinois. He and two other individuals have been charged with a 15 year conspiracy to raise funds for terrorist attacks against Israel.

See #12.
Thanks Camerakid!

[Sherman Logan]

If they break the law, prosecute them. If they don’t, they have equal rights with other Americans to express their opinion and attempt to influence other Americans to share their opinion of Mr. Savage.

[dynachrome]

I don’t consider them Americans. They put Islam and sharia law first and foremost. CAIR is not about being a citizen of this country.

[Sherman Logan]

The law and the Constitution consider them to be Americans. Use your own freedom of speech and press to criticize them, as you are doing here and as Mr. Savage does.

I’m not defending CAIR’s practices or beliefs, only their constitutional right to promote them. If you don’t think they should have that right, what government agency do you want to decide who does and does not have freedom of speech?

[dynachrome]

Dynachrome to Christian: “I don’t believe in Jesus Christ”
Christian to Dynachrome: “I will pray for you”

Dynachrome to Muslim: “I don’t beleive in Muhammed”
Muslim to Dynachrome: “I will behead you”

[dynachrome]

The Constitution does not protect organizations that call for the overthrow of the U.S. Gov’t.
CAIR does that IMHO, if not in legal opinion.

[Sherman Logan]

The Constitution does not protect organizations that call for the overthrow of the U.S. Gov’t.

Sure it does. You have every right to join the Communist Party or other groups that advocate changing our form of government, as long as that advocacy does not involve illegal activities.

If you disagree, please point me to the relevant section of our Constitution detailing this exclusion from the Bill of Rights.
