“We've gone from being in the crossfire to being ... right in the crosshairs,” said Charlie Sennott, executive director of the GroundTruth Project and the co-founder of Global Post, the news outlet James Foley was working for when he was abducted and later killed by the so-called Islamic State. “This is a new front that has been opened up by Islamic extremists in the last few years, where they are going out and targeting journalists.”

Don't you just love it when the Islamic terrorists kill journalists, all of the sudden terrorism becomes something to take seriously. Everyone else can be killed by the hundreds of thousands in Iraq and they have to make Obama look good even though he is responsible for the tens of thousands of killings in Iraq. The police officers can be assassinated by Islamic terrorists and they side with the police brutality fruit cakes. 9/11 is so yesterday to the journalists. A woman being beheaded in Oklahoma comes and goes.

But,but,but when the terrorists get their journalist scalps, then all of the sudden this becomes important and we must know what can be done.

These journalists created the problem by being so biased and now they are as Obama so casually views it collateral damage to further his socialist utopia.

The big lesson for many journalists will be — we should surrender faster to Islam.

Basically. Those idiots on CNN pulled that stunt where they put their hands up holding signs I can’t breathe and trashing the police. Wait until there is a journalist slaughter here. You are probably right when the terrorists come the journos will be the first to surrender and throw everyone under the bus.

With rights come responsibilities, and part of that responsibility is thinking about tolerance.”

Wrong.

It's NEVER OK to be 'tolerant' of evil. What we see as 'tolerance' they'll see as acquiescence...

Here's the deal: we will not be intimidated into giving up free speech. Today it's cartoons... Tomorrow it's Americans 'saying' something offensive... after that it's 'dressing in an offensive manner... Our freedom is not negotiable. If Muslims want to draw mean cartoons about us... fine. But if their solution is to murder those among us who dare to disagree with them... then the answer is no. No forever.
