‘When You Provoke People…’ {Chris} Matthews, Guest Tackle ‘Causality’ of TX Shooting
mediaite.com ^ | May 4, 2015 | Josh Feldman

There’s been a lot of debate today about the actions and intentions of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, the group led by Pamela Geller that held a “Draw Mohammed” cartoon contest in Texas yesterday where two shooters showed up. They were killed, and Geller has been pushing back against any suggestion that the provocative nature of her group brought about those attacks.

Chris Matthews tackled that argument on his MSNBC show tonight, bringing up what Geller’s group did and asking, “Does that in some way cause these events––well, not the word ‘causing’––how about provoking, how about taunting, how about daring? How do you see the causality factor here?”

Poor Cwissie has his pants in a wad because his beloved muslimes got killed by mean right-wingers.

Sowwy Cwissie, but it will happen again and again and again....when the precious muslimes point guns at us.

Sowwy Cwissie.

In January 17,2015, and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a pro-Shariah law event, by supporters Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicate in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993. I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if some patriotic American had irrupted in Muslim rally on January alive, a real grievance more justified than the alleged 2015 and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians offense provoked among the Islamic fanatics by the Mohamed cartoons.

Hey Chrissy.

Did it ever occur to you -- that you are provoking the wrong people?

The Left never misses an opportunity to blame the victims. Our world has turned upside down

The American political left have bullying and provocation down to an art form. Matthews can zip his trap.

LOL ting-a-ling leg! So it’d be okay if someone was offended by what a certain group did and it’s okay to go after them? Well only if you’re in one of the protected classes. And it doesn’t include those with white privilege. Apparently it’s okay for folks on an fbi list with possible terrorist ties. Don’t know there chrisy, you’re confusing me. :>}

Chris, evil only wins when too many cowards are afraid to face it.

Face it, Chris. Face it.

Yet he would presumably be one of the first people to speak out against the idea that women in short skirts “provoke” rapists, or that beaten wives “provoked” their husbands, or that white cops are “provoked” by black suspects who run from, fight, or threaten them.

Provoking? Taunting?

Kinda like asking devout Christians to bake cakes for gay weddings, eh Chris?

So Christians should kill atheists who provoke them? So Mormons should kill the South Park guys for their Broadway show?

Matthews uses exactly the same argument which says a rape victim “asked for it”.

Yo Chrissie. Non-AMERICANS who are easily “provoked” really need to go back to where they came from and be with their own kind. Those Xeno’RATs are loonier than hell.

Pam Geller’s group was provoked by the slaughter at Charlie Hebdo. That was sharia law at work. That was sharia law at just PART of its worst.
We will not tolerate sharia law here. But, with the next generation of Americans, not so sure.
